The agency is advocating for a facility that could cost more than $114 million, be more than twice the current size and help the city manage its animals.
courtesy Dallas Animal Services with a goal of finding homes for at least 90% of the stray animals at the city's shelter rather than euthanizing them. With the effort came a vision to lead the nation in compassionate care of animals and to deliver positive outcomes for all placeable pets through shelter operations and community engagement.
“This is a shelter that would bring us into 2050 and beyond,” MeLissa Webber, DAS director, said during an Aug. 24 meeting of the city’s Animal Advisory Commission. “It’s for the city of Dallas. It’s for the animals. It’s for Dallas Animal Services. It’s for you, the residents.”The current shelter was primarily designed for animal control and housing, rather than to serve as a smoothly flowing, inviting adoption center for visitors and staff.
The current facility does not allow for expansion, Webber said. Satellite facilities could help, but DAS wants to focus first on obtaining a larger space. This will allow for better quality of care without having to increase staffing. The new space would have room to grow when and if needed.
