As part of a partnership between Dallas Pets Alive and our friends at Market Street, several of our fosters and alumni got to sample a new grain-free pet food brand called Open Nature. We got to sample both wet and dry dog and cat food, with flavors ranging from Chicken and Brown Rice dry dog food to chicken and whitefish wet cat food. Every pet we fed this stuff LOVED it—some of them even did a little dance for it! To learn more about the food, read more features and Q&A from our foster families below. Did your foster pet seem to like the Open Nature Pet Food he or she sampled? Yes, Truman loves it! He practically inhales it…he eats it so fast and doesn’t stop until it is gone, and then begs for more! Both dogs loved it! Gronk gobbled it right up and Shiner does a food dance when she was about to be fed. Lester loves it! He enjoys both the dry and wet food. He meows every time I open a can or bag. Will definitely appeared to like it, ran straight to his crate where I fed him each time. Shiner Eating Open Nature on Vimeo. After reading the features and benefits of Open Nature pet food, what do you think is the most important feature? I like that the food is grain-free and meat is the main ingredient. The quality of nutrition and not those bad fillers that other brands use. I think meat being the first ingredient and having no corn is the most important feature. What I really liked is...

By Natalie Jacaman Dating can be rough. You first have to find a person that has shared interests with you. Then, you have to choose which interest to explore on a date, i.e., food, movies, museums, workouts, etc. Once you’ve selected one thing to move forward with for approximately 2-3 hours, then you have to think about discussion topics! What if you don’t agree with most of what the other person is saying? At that point it would be nice to leave and “go fetch” the safe, warm comforts of your home. Why do we put ourselves through all of this when you already have a readily available date waiting for you when you walk through your door? This individual loves what you love, is always up for a spontaneous adventure, and is excited to be with you all of the time, no matter what you are wearing. This ideal match is known as – your dog! Your dog is the perfect date any time – especially on Valentine’s Day! There are several advantages to dating your dog and the first one is that you already know that they don’t have any other secret valentines – they’re always devoted to you! The second advantage is that you can plan your ideal date and they will be right there beside you, wagging their tale in excitement just because they’re there with you. Thirdly, and most importantly, they won’t judge you for indulging in a “treat” at the end of the date – just as long as they get one, too. Dogs only want you to have a good time, and...

Happy Pawlidays! Dallas Pets Alive has seen such wonderful growth this year – we launched our very own Adoption Center campaign and witnessed countless joyful stories of rescue and adoption. Our hearts are full this holiday season knowing that over 800 families have new furry family members, and over 1200 animals were saved because of our life saving volunteers, donors, adopters and fosters just like you. One of our favorite stories this year is of a beautiful Great Pyr, Shelby. Shelby came into DAS through our Positive Alternatives to Shelter Surrender program. We learned from her owners that they wanted to drop her off at the shelter and request euthanasia indicating she may have been hit with a rock and unable to care or afford medical treatment. Our PASS volunteers were able to jump in and give her some extra time to find a foster – we knew she just needed some extra TLC. A wonderful foster stepped up and provided that extra TLC she needed through heart-worm treatment and healing her eye. She has found her forever home already and is one of the best transformation stories of 2017. Shelby is a shining example of our PASS program and foster program working hand in hand to save lives. Our rescue and adoption numbers continue to increase every year, however 2017 was particularly successful. Our goal was to rescue 750 animals this year, but because of your help we have saved over 1200 animals! It takes a substantial amount of funding to medically treat animals like Shelby. Already this year we have spent almost $300,000 on medical expenses...
