SUPPORT TO KEEP YOUR PET

You’re meant
to be together.

You can’t put a price on the love of a pet. But even the very best pet owners sometimes struggle to pay for important pet care and vet services. Through our Russell H. Perry Pet Resource Center, we are keeping pets and their people together so all animals in the Dallas/Fort Worth area will have safe, loving homes.

HOW TO

Apply for temporary support for your pet.

The SPCA of Texas’ Russell H. Perry Pet Resource Center provides temporary support to pet owners living within the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex only who are experiencing financial hardship and are at risk of having to surrender their pets. We provide the following types of support.

ASK FOR SUPPORT!

PET FOOD

Humans don’t want to go hungry. Your pets don’t either! We can help provide food for your pets to make sure they get the nutrition they need during times of transition. Drive Thru Pet Pantries occur each Tuesday from 1 to 3 p.m. at 2400 Lone Star Drive in Dallas and on the 3rd Sunday of each month unless otherwise stated.
