Pet Support & Resources
Positive Alternatives to Shelter Surrender (PASS)
The Positive Alternatives to Shelter Surrender (PASS) Program is the only program of its kind in North Texas. The PASS Program partners with local shelters to provide resources to pet owners before they reach the doors of the shelter. Volunteers connect pet owners to life saving resources to help pets stay in their homes, and out of the shelters.
Dogs Matter
Dogs Matter helps place dogs with temporary foster homes while their owners are away seeking in-patient treatment and getting the help they need. The collaboration between DPA and Dogs Matter amplifies our ability to support more pet owners within our community, ensuring that they won't need to worry about losing their beloved dogs while they focus on their well-being by seeking the help they need.
