Dallas Animal Services has only 12 open kennels left amid critical capacity, holding free adoptions

If you're interested in fostering, Dallas Animal Services said to come in and they'll get you squared away.

DALLAS — Dallas Animal Services and Adoption Center says it is at critical capacity with only 12 open kennels available.

They're holding free adoptions, and even if you come in and didn't see a pet that's right for you, they encourage you to come back because they're getting dozens of new pets every day. Dallas Animal Services told WFAA on Wednesday there were over 400 dogs in need of adoption. 

The shelter posted an update to their Facebook page Saturday morning, where they did a walk through of the shelter showing some of the pups needing a forever home. Watch the video here to see if one of the pets may be right for you:

Our shelter, located at 1818 N Westmoreland Rd, Dallas Tx 75212, is at critical capacity! With only 12 open kennels left, we need your help to save lives. Adoptions are free! 🐾 We receive dozens of new pets every day, so if you didn’t see a pet that’s right for you the last time you were in, please come back and try again! Just a few days in a foster home can make a world of difference for our dogs. You can get photos of them relaxing in a home environment or walking in the sunshine in the park and take notes on their personality outside of the shelter. It may seem small, but great photos and a detailed bio can help them match with their new family. If you’re interested in fostering, just come by to pick out a dog and we’ll get you set up! Please open your heart and home to these pets in need. Time is running out. Share, adopt, foster – make a difference today.💙🧡
