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.

Foster

Fostering is the heart of Dallas Pets Alive!’s rescue mission. Because we don’t have a shelter facility, the number of dogs and cats we can save depends entirely on the number of fosters who open their homes and hearts to our community’s homeless pets. You can make the world a better place with one simple action: Fostering a pet.
