How can I take home a dog this weekend?
Melissa Webber, Director of Dallas Animal Services, poses with an adoptable dog, Wednesday, Nov. 2, 2022, in Dallas. Webber began as the permanent director of Dallas Animal Services 10 months ago.In an attempt to halt the spread of illness in canines, Dallas Animal Services is asking the community to help clear dogs from its animal shelter this weekend.
“We are looking to be able to create a clean break to stop the spread of illness, and to do that we’re looking for community participation to help us find placement for 150 large dogs,” said MeLissa Webber, director of DAS. “Anybody can help,” Webber said. “If you have a warm home, and a willingness to help, we will provide all the medical treatment and any supplies that are needed.”— which presents a challenge to shelters that contain hundreds of dogs. Symptoms range from mild to moderate, with most dogs experiencing coughing, sneezing and fatigue.
New fosters and adopters should be prepared to isolate the URI-exposed dogs from other pets and keep them healthy. Adopted pets will receive a free visit to the vet and 30 days of pet health insurance.
