Networking Tools
Just a friendly reminder that we have multiple tools available to our partners when searching for the next perfect pet to tag.
BeDallas90 Emergency Placement Page: This site gives you basic information, intake photo, and will show when a pet has found an outcome. Visit our page here.
Facebook Urgent Album: Great tool to view pets at a glance that are urgent at DAS. View album here.
Open Data Portal: Is used to view raw data from our Chameleon database, which is used to track shelter and field operations, animal inventory and movement, animal intake and outcome, animal medical records, animal behavior observations, and animal microchip information. View our data here.

- DAS offers heartworm treatment to rescue affiliates at no cost
- Dogs six months of age and up will receive a standard in-house snap test upon intake to determine heartworm status. Those that test positive will immediately be started on an antibiotic to reduce the risk of complications. At the time of surgery (or outcome if already sterilized), they will receive 12 months of heartworm prevention in a single injection, as well as a single injection of the compound used to kill adult heartworms. The injections are a single injection of ProHeart 12™ (moxidectin) and Diroban™ (melarsomine)
- When tagging a heartworm positive dog please let us know if you would like to receive this treatment or DECLINE our heartworm to pursue alternative treatment at your private veterinarian.
Rescue Partner Onsite Assessment/Tag appointments
Rescue Partners do not need an appointment to walk through the public areas of our shelter, but if you'd like to visit our neonatal nursery, tag on the spot, or need assistance with assessments, please book here so we can be sure to have a staff member available to you while you're here. If you'd like to get your team trained to handle dogs onsite without a DAS team member present, please email us to coordinate training.
