PAWS for Irving Animals

PAWS for Irving Animals LLC is a group of dedicated, hands-on volunteers for dogs at the Irving Animal Care Campus. We aspire to work hand-in-hand with staff to achieve a no-kill status for Irving Animal Services through positive promotion of the dogs in social media, hosting off-site adoption events, promoting and training fosters, providing funds for animals in urgent need, and facilitating programs to promote adoption and rescue.

Adoptions, Fostering Program, Medical Care

Dogs in our foster care program are:

spayed/neutered
microchipped
up to date on all vaccinations
negative for heartworms and on regular heartworm preventative
in loving foster care homes where they have received training and socialization to help them fit into your home more quickly.

There are a few steps to set up the adoption.

Complete the PAWS4IrvingAnimalsAdoptionAppContract. You can type in the information, but must print/sign it. You can then send it back as a PDF to [email protected] or fax it to 214-764-2138. If you are meeting us at an event, you can complete the application at the event itself.
Schedule a home visit. After the adoption application is received, a volunteer from PAWS for Irving Animals will visit your home with the pet you are interested in adopting. We will ensure that the pet you are interested in has the opportunity to meet all the members of your immediate family, including other pets, to ensure that this adoption is a good fit.
Complete the 24PetWatch Change of Ownership Form. This will be used to re-program the dog’s microchip to you. This means that it will be much easier to return him/her to you if he/she is ever lost. You do NOT need to fill in the payment information. This is covered in your adoption fee. This form does not allow for typing in the data, so you will need to print it and write in the information. ou can then send it back as a PDF to [email protected] or fax it to 214-764-2138. Since you are adopting from a rescue, we have to submit this form on your behalf with several other documents to complete the registration process. We take care of this on your behalf.
Send the adoption fee of $150. The adoption fee covers many elements: full vetting (spay, vaccinations, etc), registration of microchip to you, etc.
