Dallas Animal Services hosting “Calming the Canines” for New Year’s Eve

DALLAS - Dallas Animal Services (DAS) is hosting a “Calming the Canines” event on Tuesday, December 31, to help reduce the stress for shelter pets during the fireworks celebrations. The public’s participation can make a significant difference in their well-being. 

The booming sounds of fireworks can be stressful and frightening for animals, which is why DAS warmly invites the public to come read, sing, or play an instrument to calm the shelter pets from 10:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. on New Year’s Eve.  

All are welcome, and attendees are encouraged to bring their own books, folding chairs, or yoga mats to sit and read to the animals. A brief safety orientation will be held at the start of the event. DAS will provide treats to pass out to the animals, but donations are also welcome. 

Rahr & Sons Brewing Company is graciously providing soft drinks and snacks for attendees.
