Most people who contact us to take stays don’t realize they are legally obligated to try to find the owners first.
We try to limit our intake to pets that come from Dallas Animal Services (DAS). You may want to take your stray to DAS, and let us know it is there. In addition, there are many shelters you can consult to see if they have capacity. You may also want to keep the stray and enroll it in our Guest Dog Program.
For in-depth information on lost pet behaviors, and additional information on finding lost pets, visit DallasAnimals.org, and look for Lost Pet Network.
It is best if you house the dog yourself while attempting to find the owner. However, if you are unable to temporarily house the dog until the owner is found, please bring the dog to:
Dallas Animal Services
