DFW Pets Are Family
2023-06-03 08:00 - 12:00 | 1678 Rockwood Ln, Fort Worth, 1678 Rockwood Ln, Fort Worth, TX, 76114, United States
Pets belong at home with the people who love them, not in shelters because times are tough.
But with times tougher than ever, more and more people are struggling, shelters and rescues across the country and in the Dallas Fort Worth area are feeling the impact. At just one shelter in the DFW metropolitan area, pet intakes increased by nearly 10%, last year, compared to 2021.
When families have trouble accessing resources and feel like there are no options, they are more likely to make desperate decisions and pets can end up being surrendered, even when they are so loved. Last year, a collective of area organizations, including ours, came together. Supported by CUDDLY, we provided almost 100,000 lbs of food, plus free medical services and supplies to local families. Even so, it was a drop in the bucket compared to the need.
That’s why we’ve committed to again participating in the DFW Pets Are Family events in 2023, with four events total. Our goal is to make the most impact by providing the community with what they need to stay together. Families shouldn’t be separated when all they need is a little bit of help.
Please consider donating an item off our wishlist today to provide that help. Sign up for Full Bowls Club at checkout to provide support for these events all year long.

Grand Opening for DPA! Adoption Container
2023-03-24 19:00 - 21:00 | DPA! Adoption Container, 3110 Commonwealth Dr., Dallas, TX, 75247, United States
Reimagine Rescue with Dallas Pets Alive!
A huge hurdle we face in pet adoption is the assumption that rescue animals are damaged. To change this perception, the container exemplifies the way DPA views our adoptable animals: unique and beautiful. This innovative strategy will bring rescue pets and the cause of animal welfare into “pop culture”. Who wouldn’t want to adopt their new best friend right at their favorite brewery? Dallas Pets Alive (DPA) and Community Beer Company (CBC) have been partners in lifesaving for 10 years. Our newest partnership with CBC will be the DPA Adoption Container. Transformed from a 40-foot shipping container, the Adoption Container will be an innovative space where collaboration, technology, and rescue intersect – a place transformed, just as our companion animals have been.
We Do Things Differently
The old ways of sheltering must be reimagined. The adoption container at CBC will put rescue pets and our mission in front of thousands of patrons, normalizing the idea of fostering and adopting a rescue pet. Expanding our reach exponentially will lead to increased adoptions as well as an increase in revenue, allowing DPA to save more pets in need. DPA, as it currently operates, hits max capacity often as we are limited by the number of willing foster homes we have. We can’t expect to help North Texas shelters at the pace they need if we don’t make a big change. Rethinking the normal “adoption center” is vital to the success of our organization and, most importantly, to the lives of animals.
While the space will be small, every inch of it will be thoughtfully utilized. Highlights of the space include:

No housing large numbers of animals for long periods of time, so we continue to utilize our robust foster system
The container’s rooftop will be customized for private events and meeting space
A retail store to expand our merchandise revenue stream that is currently only online
Technology that will allow patrons to search and be matched with foster pets that cannot attend events so they, too, can get exposure to potential adopters
Bar space for Community Beer Company to use for large events

The joyous day is here! Help us celebrate the opening of our new Adoption Center with our supporters.
