Who We Are

Friends of Dallas Animal Services was founded in 2019 by a small group of shelter volunteers united by a love of animals and an appreciation of the unique challenges faced by municipal shelters.

We raise funds to support the pets and people at Dallas Animal Services (DAS), the only open intake shelter in Dallas.

In 2025, we merged with our friends at Operation Kindness to provide even more support to DAS.

Importantly, all funds raised by Friends of Dallas Animal Services remain allocated for support of Dallas Animal Services needs.
