According to Alicia Parlapiano’s New York Times article, pet euthanasia rates have dropped 75% across the country.  Some of the biggest success is right here at our very own Dallas Animal Services (70%) and it is all due to spay/neuter and adoption. Let that sink in.

All the work, the fundraising, the education. It is REALLY paying off.  So, congratulations to our friends and partners at Dallas Animal Services. THANK YOU to the community for getting your pets fixed and adopting shelter pets.

So, what does it take to be the leading city in the nation with the biggest drop in pet euthanasia over the last 10 years? It takes a lot of work at the shelter and a lot of support from nonprofits.
