Dallas Animal Services needs your help 🐶

The shelter is currently over capacity, with 674 dogs in just 388 kennels—including dozens of nursing puppies and their moms.

Staff say every single adoption or foster makes an immediate impact.

“We can’t create space without the community,” said Victoria Chittam Bennett. “Each placement helps not just one dog, but the next one in need.”

💡 Why it matters:
Overcrowding can lead to the spread of illness, so getting dogs into homes—even temporarily—is critical.

📍 Location: 1818 N. Westmoreland Rd
🕒 Adoption & foster hours:
- Mon, Tue, Thur & Fri - 11am - 7pm
- Wed - 11am - 7pm
- Sat & Sun - 11am - 6pm

👉 If you’ve been thinking about adopting or fostering, now is the time

Texas heat is no joke!☀️ 🥵

Friendly reminder that the ground gets hot, FAST! It way hotter than the air temp. If it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for your pup’s paws.

On super hot days, I switch things up — earlier walks, later walks, and sometimes shorter/slower depending on how your dog is feeling. We’re not out here trying to melt 😅 Your pup’s comfort always comes first with me!

If you’ve been needing a reliable dog walker who actually pays attention to the little things, I got you!💛

Things I Wish More Pet Parents Knew🐱🐶🐰

🚫Myth: “Cats are low maintenance and don’t need attention”
✅Reality: Cats need stimulation, interaction, and they can get lonely too!

Even just 10 minutes of play a day can make a huge difference in your cat’s mood and behavior!💛

Try incorporating:
• Wand toys
• Laser pointers
• Fake mice or other interactive toys

Also, don’t underestimate the power of a good window view 👀 A window perch or even just access to a window sill gives your cat mental stimulation by letting them watch wildlife, people, and the outside world.

A more engaged cat = a happier, calmer cat 💛

Meet today’s KCC cutie! 🐶🐾

This is Kilo. He’s an elderly gentleman with the sweetest soul. Being one of my very first and longest clients, he holds such a special place in my heart. 💛

After his primary owner passed away, his owner wants to make sure he’s comfortable, cared for, and getting the attention he deserves as he enjoys his golden years. With KCC, Kilo gets personalized visits filled with slow walks, extra patience, and lots of love and companionship.

Seeing his playful, youthful energy again after spending months being depressed brings so much peace of mind to his owner. It’s truly an honor to be part of his routine!🥹

The 3-3-3 Rule for Adopting a New Furry Friend🐾

When bringing home a new dog/cat, it’s important to remember the 3-3-3 rule—a guideline to help set realistic expectations during their adjustment period.

Every dog/cat is different, and their timeline may vary, but one thing is certain… it can take time.

Please don’t give up after just 24 hours. Your new pet is learning an entirely new world, and that can be overwhelming.

Adjustment takes patience—for everyone
Not only is your new dog/cat adjusting, but your other pets are too. Give them all grace as they learn to coexist.

Accidents will happen
In the shelter, dogs don’t always get frequent potty breaks like they will in a home. They need time to relearn routines.

Expect excitement (and a little chaos!)
After spending much of their time in a kennel, your dog/cat may have lots of pent-up energy. This is normal! They’ll need time, exercise, and mental stimulation to settle in.

They’re still learning
Chewed shoes or a missing remote might happen. Be patient—your dog is figuring out the “rules” of their new home.

Adoption is an adjustment for both of you
Whether it’s a rescue dog/cat or a new puppy, building that bond takes time, consistency, and love.

We simply ask that you don’t give up too quickly. The reward of a loyal, loving companion is worth the patience. 🐾💙

🐾 Is your pet ACTUALLY tired…or just bored?

At KCC, we believe that a happy pet is a stimulated pet, both mentally & physically! 💛 Your pet needs more than just a quick trip outside & a few toys laying around.

✨ Here’s how to keep your pet thriving:

🧠 Mental Stimulation:
•New environments & sniff walks
•Puzzle toys & treat games
•Short training sessions (even 5 mins goes a long way!)

🏃🏽‍♀️Physical Stimulation:
•Structured walks (not just potty breaks)
•Play sessions (fetch, tug, flirt pole, etc.)
•Obstacle style play

💡 Pro-tip:A 20 minute sniff walk can be more enriching than an hour of physical exercise! This is because your dog is using their brain, taking in information, & making connections!

At KCC, we make sure every pet gets the enrichment they need to feel calm, fulfilled, and balanced.
