Dallas Pets Alive! hiring Volunteer: Foster Administrator - Application Vetter (REMOTE) in Dallas, TX | LinkedIn (2024)

OUR APPROACHOur organization is run mostly by volunteers, and all of our pets are housed by dedicated foster families throughout North Texas.

We rescue and help the healthy and treatable pets at greatest risk for euthanasia at our partner shelters. We also provide assistance and resources to pet owners having problems so significant that they need to surrender their pets to a shelter.

In our rescue program, we focus on

• Rescuing healthy and treatable pets at North Texas shelters at the greatest risk of being euthanized
• Reducing owner surrender through our Positive Alternatives to Shelter Surrender (PASS) program
• Opening kennel space by transporting pets to partners in the U.S. and Canada in need of adoptable animals
• Challenging the way our community views rescue animals. We believe that adoption is not only right thing to do but THE thing to do!
