DPA!’s Pawesome Person: March Foster Spotlight
“Lauren and Austin are absolutely incredible people and fosters! They have been to hundreds of vet appointments, events, and meet & greets, dealt with more puppy poo than I can even begin to imagine, and oh, did I mention they have saved EIGHTY lives with Dallas Pets Alive?! Lauren and Austin are known as our “puppy gurus” and consistently pull puppies at risk of euthanasia from the shelter. Whether it’s taking on a single pup in need or a litter of 15, they don’t hesitate to do whatever it takes to save them all. Lauren also serves as our Assistant Foster/Medical Director; this real life Wonder Woman not only takes care of her crazy crew of puppies at home, but she spends countless hours supporting other fosters to help get their pups adopted as quickly as possible! We are endlessly grateful for all that she does for DPA, and are so excited to honor her as one of our favorite PAWsome people!,” says Allison Brandon, Foster/Medical Director of Dallas Pets Alive!
Holly the Hospice Foster
Meet Holly, a senior Golden/Chow mix. Holly is the face of hospice foster pet care.
Holly was surrendered to the city shelter by an owner when she was about 10 years old. When she arrived at Dallas Animal Services, she exhibited symptoms of physical and emotional stress, but when our volunteers got her out in the play yard, we saw a different dog. She ran laps, was carefree around other dogs and even played with her reflection in the windows. Due to her happy-go-lucky nature outside her kennel, DPA was able to find her a foster home, but that’s only the beginning of Holly’s story.
