    Dallas animal shelter offers $150 to foster a dog in big New Year push

    A special event to save dogs' lives is returning to Dallas: Dallas Animal Services, the city's animal shelter, is reviving a program to get dogs out of the shelter with a financial reward for those who participate.

    From Friday January 6-Sunday January 8, anyone who comes in to foster a dog gets $150.

    DAS, along with many shelters and boarding facilities, has seen an increase in canine upper respiratory infections (URI), including the canine influenza virus (CIV), which began surfacing in the fall.

    Getting dogs out of the shelter helps prevent them from getting sick.

    In November, DAS began working with the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Veterinary Medicine on a plan to create a clean break in its building and stop the spread of illness.

    They launched two sweeps in December with Friends of DAS, a volunteer group who awarded gift cards to those who fostered a dog, and to rescue groups.

    DAS Director MeLissa Webber says the turnout was amazing, especially given the time of the year, with hundreds of dogs being rescued.

    "We are so grateful that despite the busy holiday season, residents showed up in large numbers to foster or adopt dogs," Webber says. "While we have certainly been celebrating this community response, traffic is now slowing down and the hard work isn’t over yet.”

    “DAS is now halfway through the clean break process and 53% of our dog rooms are housing unexposed animals,” she says. “Now we need your help to continue this momentum and get us across the finish line.”

    Their goal this weekend is to find adopters, fosters, or rescues for 188 dogs. Anyone who fosters an exposed large dog gets a $150 gift card, in addition to supplies and medical care.

    DAS also provides fosters with training, supplies including crates, bowls, and food, and covers 100 percent of the foster dog’s veterinary care, including 24/7 online chat with medical personnel.

    Not all dogs within the population are sick; many have fully recovered from URI or have never shown symptoms but were housed near a sick dog. DAS is encouraging fosters and adopters to practice #DoggyDistancing for all dogs adopted from DAS, regardless of status.

    Anyone interested in adopting, fostering, or rescuing dogs from DAS should come to 1818 North Westmoreland Rd. during the following hours:

    • Friday January 6, 11 am-7 pm
    • Saturday, January 7, 11 am-6 pm
    • Sunday, January 8, 11 am-6 pm

    Though URI is rarely life-threatening in dogs, it spreads quickly and is challenging to contain in a shelter or boarding kennel environment. URI in dogs is like the human flu. Most experience mild to moderate symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, lethargy, and congestion that resolve with rest and hydration within 1-2 weeks. In rare cases, dogs can develop secondary infections such as pneumonia that require additional treatment.

    Cases of URI and CIV are spreading throughout the Dallas area, with many boarding facilities and private veterinary clinics reporting an increase of illness in the community. DAS has created #DoggyDistancing to encourage owners to isolate their dogs. Until cases in the area decrease, owners should avoid taking pets to doggy daycare, dog parks, pet stores, and boarding facilities.

    “If you could not participate in December, this is your chance to be part of the solution and get involved with the Dallas90 family,” Webber says.

    Fugitive News

    Dallas Police Department arrests 99 fugitives in summer crime program

    The Dallas Police Department has a new round of arrests in Operation Justice Trail, a coordinated effort led by Police Chief Daniel Comeaux to apprehend individuals with violent felony warrants, with 99 fugitives arrested and taken into custody during June.

    The program is a partnership between the Dallas Police Department and the United States Marshals Service which began on May 1, with a goal to identify and take into custody violent criminals. During the firest month of May, a nearly-identical haul of 98 violent felons were arrested, and the initiative will continue through the summer.

    “Our goal is simple: to make Dallas the safest large city in America,” Chief Comeaux says in a statement. “We know that a small percentage of violent criminals are responsible for a disproportionate amount of crime. By focusing our efforts on these individuals, we are sending a clear message—violence will not be tolerated in our city.”

    These 99 fugitives, who collectively have 616 total arrests for crimes such as Assault on a Public Servant, Manufacture/Delivery of a Controlled Substance, Murder, Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon, Sexual Abuse of a Child, Reckless Driving, and Stalking, were taken into custody by the Dallas Police Department Fugitive Unit and U.S. Marshals North Texas Fugitive Task Force between June 1–30.

    Of those 99 fugitives, 22 were women and 77 were men. Three had arrests for Illegal Entry into the U.S., and one had an arrest for Alien Inadmissibility - Section 212 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).

    Officials told Fox 4 that officers used "a combination of the city’s camera system and old-fashioned good police work" to make the arrests.

    North Texas Crime Stoppers is offering a guaranteed $1,000 reward for tips submitted to the crime stoppers tipline that lead to the arrest of any individual with an existing felony warrant for specific crimes, until August 31.
