Dogs Matter
Dallas, TX
Dogs Matter is the only nonprofit organization providing free, temporary foster care placement and supportive services specifically for dogs of addicts and alcoholics seeking substance abuse treatment and transitioning into recovery. Our primary purpose is ensuring the welfare of the dog and their owner — reuniting them once our client has successfully completed treatment and is ready to be a healthy and responsible dog owner again. We are located in Dallas and serve the state of Texas and surrounding areas.
The Bridge
Dallas, TX
At The Bridge, we want to remove as many barriers as possible that may keep someone from getting the help they need. In some areas of the country almost 25% of homeless individuals have a pet. And many of these individuals will not leave their pets behind. The Bridge ensures they won’t have to.
As the only shelter in the Dallas area with an onsite kennel, The Bridge is serving a crucial role in serving the homeless population with pets who otherwise would not enter a shelter to begin their recovery.
