Animal Shelters

The City of Denison's Animal Services Division is dedicated to working in collaboration with locals, vets, and animal welfare groups to promote responsible pet ownership, deliver top-notch services for animal health and welfare, and safeguard public health.

The mission of DAWG is to save the stray animals in Denison, Texas. In our first three years of operation, we are pleased to have achieved a 99% live release rate. Every day, volunteers make a difference by collaborating with the City of Denison and the local community.

We work hard to provide a better life for each of our animals by rescuing and rehabilitating homeless Labradors in our neighborhood, fervently supporting proper dog ownership through active involvement in pet-related activities, and through our own education program.

Our goal is to actively help the neighborhood reduce the number of cats. Our aggressive TNR (Trap/Neuter/Return) campaign and adoption program to assist tame cats find homes enable us to fulfill our purpose.

You may assist us in saving lives in a variety of ways. Fostering, driving, helping with special events, social media, fundraising, marketing support/grant writing, and web design are all areas where we need volunteers.

The Police Department's Animal Control division responds to problems with domestic animals, wildlife, and livestock that occur throughout the city. Their responsibilities include spreading rabies awareness, looking into animal bites, finding missing pets, dealing with stray animals, adopting animals, and providing shelter and care.

A 501(c)3 non-profit organization called Greyhound Adoption League of Texas, Inc. (GALT) has been operating in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex, throughout Texas, New Mexico, and the rest of the United States since May 2001.

No Borders Bulldog Rescue is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that relies solely on volunteers to save and rehome Bulldogs. Each year, hundreds of Bulldogs are lost, abandoned, mistreated, sent to animal shelters, or given to rescue. Bulldogs whose owners are unable to care for them are accepted by No Borders Bulldog Rescue. In addition, we collaborate with neighborhood animal control officers and shelters to rescue Bulldogs from unfavorable circumstances.

Our goal is to provide rescue to cats and kittens at neighborhood shelters in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, yet we are not just limited to this region.

Colony Animal Services works to safeguard the lost, abandoned, mistreated, hurt, and ill pets of The City of The Colony. With our efforts, we hope to provide animals a chance to be recovered, adopted, rehabilitated, or saved.
