Campaign Details
This campaign is to help raise much needed funds to continue our mission in saving dogs off the streets, high kill shelters, community outreach and humane education.
We are a 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to rescuing and helping the abandoned dogs of Dallas. The story began in 2012 when Dallas DogRRR's founder moved to Dallas and began exploring her new city, where she noticed stray dogs roaming the streets and living in deplorable conditions. As a result of her outrage, she band together with other advocates wanting to become a solution to the problem.
Dallas DogRRR strives to prevent shelter overpopulation through community outreach. We work directly with under-served and low income families by providing pet care resources, medical care, training, spay/neuter services, flea prevention/heart-worm prevention and humane education; as a result we close the gaping hole between families and shelters by keeping dogs in their homes. We have a team of volunteers transporting dogs to the SPCA for spay/neuter, shots and other necessary medical care.
Dallas DogRRR rescues dogs directly off the streets; at this current time there is an estimated 9,000 dogs living out on the streets of Dallas. There is a street in Dallas named Dowdy Ferry Road where nearly every animal companion is in dire need of rescue. This area is a dumping ground where starved and terribly treated animals are discarded with trash in the woods and along the side of the road. It happens on a daily basis and has been documented by several local newspapers. In August 2016 Dallas DogRRR along with several other animal advocates laid 91 crosses on Dowdy Ferry Road to honor (and alert the community to the severity of this critical situation) symbolizing the dead animals found dumped in one year. Dallas DogRRR is a proactive force in the trenches of SE Dallas as we search for and rescue these forgotten/dumped/neglected dogs. Rescuing animals off the streets thusly decreases their chance of being lost in the shelter systems— picking up undesired behaviors, as shelter environments often exacerbate anxiety and behavioral issues and prevent the dogs from contracting illnesses that are at times inevitable in shelter environments. Lastly, this avoids the use of the last coveted kennel in an already overpopulated shelter. Once dogs are rescued from the streets or the shelters we begin the process of getting them any necessary medical care, spaying/neutering, rehabilitation and prepare them for their foster/ or forever homes.
