Help us make
North Texas no-kill

Dallas Pets Alive is on a mission to promote and provide the resources, education and programs needed to eliminate the killing of companion animals in North Texas.

Dogs and Beer the Ultimate Pairing

Dallas Pets Alive (DPA) and Community Beer Company (CBC) are proud partners in lifesaving, having been working together for the past 10 years. As of March 2023, our latest collaboration with CBC, the innovative DPA Adoption Container, was officially built and launched. This 40-foot shipping container has been transformed into a cutting-edge space where collaboration, technology, and rescue converge – a place that’s been reshaped, just like our companion animals.
