Adoption Partners should receive a confirmation e-mail. If you do not receive this e-mail, it means that the animal has not yet been tagged for your group.

Adoption Partners must only send people that are on their current “pull lists” so that the correct animal goes to the correct Adoption Partner; if the person is not on the current pull list, please have the president of your group immediately send an email to lynn.trotter@arlingtontx.gov,susan.waits@arlingtontx.gov stating that you wish to add that person. Please make sure that your representative has the animal’s correct Animal ID # at the time of pick-up.

No Adoption Partner will transfer an animal accepted from AAS to another group (rescue group, agency, organization, shelter, sanctuary etc…) that is not an AAS approved placement partner, without the approval of AAS.

To become an Adoption Partner with Arlington Animal Services, or just to find out more information about placement with Arlington Animal Services, go to http://www.arlingtontx.gov/animals/rescueorganization.html

Transporters are required to have carriers to transport animals in safely especially if they are transporting multiple animals. Transporters without proper containment devices will be turned away.

Groups that wish to utilize transporters that are not members of their group now have the option of completing the Transfer Out Contract. Group member will need to send an e-mail with their complete name, address and phone number and request that the transfer out contract be sent to them. It will need to be scanned and e-mailed back (or faxed) with a copy of the driver’s license of the person signing the contract as the group member. This will remove the responsibility of providing proof of spay/neuter from the people that are just transporters. Transporters will be sent with a copy of this Contract at the time of pick up. They will also sign it as a transporter and provide a copy of their driver’s license just in case there are any issues.

You can review our Adoption Placement Partner Standard Operating Policies and Procedures on our website at anytime. 

Accounts are now audited on a quarterly basis to be sure that spay/neuter verification have been received on animals that have been transferred. Adoption Placement Partners privileges may be suspended for non-compliance of this requirement.

Dogs in need of transfer at Dallas Animal Services

Dallas Animal Services hopes that everyone will have a safe and happy holiday weekend.  This weekend we will take time to remember and honor those who have lost their lives serving our country and fighting for our freedom.  DAS would like to remember our 4 legged soldiers, often referred to as “war dogs” but more commonly known as man’s best friend.  These amazing military working dogs saved lives, loyally served this country, and stood by our soldiers in times of war.  We will never forget!

Please, take the time to read about some of the wonderful Dallas dogs that we have here at our shelter.  All are ready to serve, protect, and love a new forever family…they just need a little help finding that family!  We have many more animals that can be seen on petharbor.com and petfinder.com

We will be closed on Monday for Memorial day but will be open through the weekend!  We love visitors! Please, email DASrescue@dallascityhall.com if you can help!

Wednesday, May 29: Testimony Starts in Animal Cruelty Trial of Man Who Threw Kitten From Second-Floor Apartment - Attend if you can, and Share

Jury Selection Starts May 28 in Animal Cruelty Trial of Edwon Julian,

Charged With Throwing Kitten From Second-Floor Apartment

DALLAS--A man accused of killing a kitten by throwing in from a second-floor apartment in Richardson last summer will go on trial next week.

Edwon Kumont Julian, 36, is charged with a State Jail Felony with the enhancement of a deadly weapon.  Jury selection starts Tuesday, May 28, and testimony is expected to begin Wednesday, May 29, at 9 a.m.  The trial will take place in the 292nd District Court on the 6th floor of the Frank Crowley Courts Building in Dallas with Judge Larry Mitchell presiding.

According the arrest warrant, Richardson police were dispatched to the apartment of Rosa Dismuke on July 31, 2012.  Dismuke said she and Julian, her boyfriend at the time, had gotten into an argument and that he physically assaulted her.  When her two children came to her aid, he tried to use a stun gun on them.  They were able to get the stun gun away from Julian and told him to leave. He then “grabbed her pet kitten by the tail, spun it over his head and threw if off the second-floor landing.” Dismuke told officers that the kitten landed approximately 20 feet away on the pavement.

Officers found the 3- to 4-month-old grey kitten lying on a bed.  The small kitten was still alive but clearly injured and appeared to have a broken back.  Richardson Animal Services was called to the scene, and the kitten died a short time later.

Julian had left the apartment but was arrested a short time later and charged with assault and felony animal cruelty.  He remains in the Dallas County jail on a total bond of $41,000.  If convicted, he could receive 2 to 20 years in prison because of his past criminal history.  

The Frank Crowley Courts Building is located at 133 N. Riverfront Boulevard in Dallas. 

TIPS FOR ATTENDING A TRIAL:  Parking is $6 cash in two parking garages adjacent to the Courts building at Riverfront and Justice Center, and there are surface lots across the street.  Dress is business attire, and no clothing or badges with slogans are allowed in the courtroom.  Also, no cameras (other than cell/smartphones), nail files or spray bottles (i.e., hair spray) are allowed in the building.  The courthouse is a cash-only building; no checks or credit cards accepted in the cafeteria, snack bar and soda/candy machines, so plan accordingly.  

Please attend if you can to show support for the prosecution of animal cruelty cases and to send the message that animal cruelty will not be tolerated. 

How You Can Help Animals in Oklahoma; ASPCA on the Ground

As many across the country prepare to spend time with friends and family this Memorial Day weekend, our thoughts turn to the good people and pets of Moore, Oklahoma, where many lost everything earlier this week when a tornado devastated the community.
The ASPCA is currently on the ground to support partner shelter Central Oklahoma Humane Society (OK Humane) with staffing needs as the facility experiences an influx of animals affected by the disaster. We’ll continue to offer our assistance as needed and will keep you updated as the long road to recovery begins for Moore and its neighbors.
For more information about how you can help the pets and people of Oklahoma, please visitOK Humane. Moore-area pet parents who are searching for a lost cat or dog, please checkwww.okclostpets.com. The site was set up specifically for this disaster, and OK Humane will update its listings with any incoming animals.  
This recent tragedy is the latest in a series of unforgiving weather events. We want to remind folks that the best thing you can do for yourself and your pets is to be prepared. Here are a few easy steps you can take to keep your family safe in an emergency:
• Have a Plan. Your “all-family” plan should include how you will transport your animals in an evacuation, possible routes you will take and your destination/sheltering options.
• Build a Kit. Don’t forget a photo of your pet, medical records, vaccination records, and any special food or prescriptions.
• Stay Informed. Keep an eye on the weather, learn which shelters house both people and pets, and monitor possible road closures.
• Vaccinate and Microchip. If you’re ever required to shelter your pets, you’ll want them protected against disease. Microchipping your pets can be their ticket home.
Tell us: Are you prepared for an unexpected emergency or disaster? Are you on the ground helping the good folks of Moore? Tweet us your answers to @ASPCA using the hashtag#Oklahoma.
