Dallas Pets Alive!’s PASS (Positive Alternative to Shelter Surrender) Program which offers resources to help families keep their pets. If you are considering rehoming your pet, please fill out this form to see if any assistance can be provided.
If you recently adopted from DAS or another shelter, we would encourage you to look over our 3-3-3 Rule Flyer which covers what you can expect from a recently adopted pet at 3 days, 3 weeks, and 3 months. Going to a new environment can overwhelm many pets.
We have several low-cost and free events every month for Dallas residents. Update your pet’s vaccines, sign up for spay/neuter services, and receive free pet food. View our upcoming events.
Home To Home™ is an online platform that allows residents to proactively rehome their pets when keeping them is no longer an option. This is a great option if you can keep your pet while you rehome them or you want to find them a great new family yourself.
The SPCA of Texas works with Adopt-A-Pet.com to help you safely find a loving home for your pet with their Rehome List web resource.
Fill out this brief form to initiate the process to surrender your pet to Dallas Animal Services. Our partner Spay Neuter Network’s Pet Support & Resource Center will reach out to you via email with resources and next steps.
Note: Surrender appointments are currently being scheduled 6 – 8 weeks out. We will accommodate any emergencies as best we can. If you feel you or your pet’s health or safety is at risk, please call 311.
Fill out this form to get started.
If this is a pet you have recently found, there is no need to fill out this form – please visit our Found Pet page for next steps.
We can only accept surrenders for residents of the city of Dallas or pets adopted from Dallas Animal Services.
If this is an emergency or if you have additional questions, please email us at DASPetSupport@Dallas.gov.
