Help find this sweet pup a home!! Share with your friends and family 🥹❤️❤️❤️

We’re heartbroken that Dallas — the longest resident at West Jordan Animal Services — still hasn’t found a home. 💔

Dallas is 4 years old and basically a giant, blocky pitopotamus whose greatest passions in life are snacks, zoomies, and being involved in absolutely everything you do.

He previously lived with another dog and did great, and he’d probably love a playful canine bestie to wrestle with, nap beside, and commit minor acts of chaos alongside. He also doesn’t seem to mind cats at the shelter.

Dallas is goofy, affectionate, hilariously expressive, and the kind of dog who keeps you laughing every single day. Is he academically gifted? Maybe not. Does he occasionally seem confused by his own feet? Absolutely. But he loves people with his whole entire heart, and you can feel it the second you meet him.

Please come meet Dallas at West Jordan Animal Services. They’re open Monday–Friday from 10 AM–6 PM.

Did you know Utah pets can still be exposed to ticks? 🐾

As the weather warms up, it’s important to check your pets after hikes, walks, and outdoor adventures and make sure they’re protected with proper flea & tick prevention.

This sweet baby great horned owl from the wildlife center recently came into Murray Animal Hospital for X-rays after showing neurologic signs. Unfortunately, nothing significant was found on imaging, which means toxicity or infection are the most likely causes.

Lead toxicity and rodenticide exposure are sadly very common in birds of prey and can have devastating effects on these incredible animals. Cases like this are such an important reminder to be mindful about what is being used in our environment and the impact it can have on local wildlife.
