Our Programs
Denton Animal Support Foundation’s mission is to save more Denton area animals. We accomplish this by focusing on the Linda McNatt Animal Care and Adoption Center (City of Denton Animal Shelter) and the Denton area community. Growth in both the human and pet populations in the Denton area has increased the number of pets entering the shelter doors. The support that DASF provides can be crucial to continuing a high live-exit rate of the municipal shelter.
Thanks to our generous supporters, DASF provides funding for the following programs. Every dollar makes a difference to a pet in need.
-
Adoption Subsidy Grants
Adoption Subsidy funding allows shelter management to lower adoption fees to enhance adoptability of certain pets — specifically seniors, special needs, hard-to-adopt, and pets that have been overlooked.
-
Community Grants
DASF seeks to support animal welfare initiatives in the community that address pet wellness and homelessness.
-
Emergency Medical Fund
Emergency medical expense funding allows pets to receive needed medical care including medications and surgical procedures to enhance their quality of life and increase their chances of adoption.
-
Emergency Pet Food Pantry
The Emergency Pet Food Pantry offers temporary assistance to help individuals and families facing income insecurity feed their pets.
-
Free Rabies & Low-Cost Vaccine Clinics
In partnership with Texas Coalition For Animal Protection (TCAP), DASF sponsors FREE Rabies vaccines at multiple low-cost vaccine clinics in the Denton area throughout the year.
-
General Support
DASF provides much needed general funding to the City of Denton Animal Shelter to ensure they have the supplies and equipment necessary to serve Denton area animals.
