Positive Alternatives to Shelter Surrender (PASS)

DPA’s Positive Alternatives to Shelter Surrender (PASS) program works to help North Texas families keep their pets in their homes and out of the shelters by providing responsible rehoming, medical, training, temporary housing and other resources to residents in need.

PASS’ Head-On Approach To Keeping Pets In Their Homes

The PASS Program partners with local shelters to provide resources to pet owners before they reach the doors of the shelter. In a proactive partnership with Dallas Animal Services (DAS) and Spay Neuter Network (SNN), volunteers connect with pet owners with life saving resources to help pets stay in their homes. The PASS Program also partners with other local shelters to provide valuable resources to help families responsibly rehome their pet prior to surrender and resources to help families stay together.

The people that contacted me from Dallas Pets Alive! are top notch. They were so encouraging and helpful. Your organization should be a model for pet foster parents. I am so glad that I was able to learn about this great organization.
Your resources were super helpful. I so appreciate your response and concern, and thank you again for everything you do!
I have been working with a PASS volunteer and she has been amazing. When I adopted my chi baby his femur was broken. She has helped me find a place that will perform his surgery. We are in the process of finishing up the details. PASS has been a life saver for me and my baby. Thank you!
