Positive Alternatives To Shelter Surrender (PASS)

Keeping Pets In Their Homes

The Positive Alternatives to Shelter Surrender (PASS) Program is the only program of its kind in North Texas. Dallas Pets Alive has made it a top priority to proactively work with the community to help keep pets in their homes and out of local shelters. Through amazing collaborations with many local organizations, PASS volunteers work hand in hand with pet owners to find the necessary, and sometimes life saving resources to help families stay together.

PASS Impact Stats

The people that seek out our PASS program are most in need of vet care, temporary boarding, pet deposits, and behavioral training. We know that especially during times of crisis, pets are often the only source of comfort for their owners. We want to do everything we can to make sure these animals receive the care they need, which in turn provides support for the people who care for them. 

Help Keep Pets and Families Together

PASS encompasses more than meets the eye. Social issues are always at the forefront of the various crises pet owners are presented with, whether those issues are financial, personal, or medically induced. Your support can change the outcome of a terrible situation into hope.
