Dallas Animal Services and Adoption Center...

Dallas: new shelter nearing reality!

The grand opening has been set for Aug. 18 for the long-awaited new Dallas Animal Services and Adoption Center.

Grand opening festivities will include educational activities for kids and their families courtesy of Companions For Life. We've lined up a dog trainer, cat behaviorist, the Red Cross, and many more.

Ribbon cutting and speeches by politicians are at 10 a.m. and the celebration will follow at the new building, 1818 N. Westmoreland -- right on the southeastern corner of Westmoreland and Tom Landry Freeway, known to most of the world as I-30. It's on the west side of Dallas, not far from the new SPCA of Texas headquarters.

We'll have more information as we receive it!
