Paws In The City®, an all volunteer 501(c)3 non-profit organization, is committed to ending the abuse, neglect, homelessness and overpopulation of dogs and cats through rescue, adoption, awareness, and spay/neuter.

Because over 28,000 animals in Dallas were euthanized in 2007, rescue and adoption are only a part of the solution to overpopulation. Educating people of the importance of spaying/neutering their pets is critical to our mission. We work closely with and promote 2 other organizations whose focus is on education and spay/neuter. The Metroplex Animal Coalition provides free spay/neuter vouchers to residents who cannot afford to have their animals altered and Companions for Life, offers educational programs and materials to Dallas Animal Services and to the community.

Metroplex Animal Coalition is an alliance of fifty animal welfare organizations in Collin, Dallas, Denton, and Tarrant Counties in the state of Texas, whose members have joined together in order to reduce the killing of dogs and cats in municipal animal shelters and humane societies. Metroplex Animal Coalition is an 501c3, all-volunteer organization. For more information, visit www.metroplexanimalcoalition.com.
