Denton Animal Support Foundation

Denton Animal Support Foundation

DASF is a nonprofit supporting the city of Denton animal shelter & community pet welfare initiatives. DASF continues to raise money, market & educate.

DASF was founded in 2006 with the goal of partnering with the City of Denton to build a new, state-of-the-art animal shelter and services facility. In 2011, DASF completed a $2.0 million capital campaign toward the construction of the new Linda McNatt Animal Care & Adoption Center, which opened in January 2015. This $4.2 million facility replaces the 35 yr-old outdated city of Denton shelter. Fund

🐾 Meet Dingwall! 🐾

Location: City of Denton Animal Shelter

Hi, my name is Dingwall, and I’m looking for my forever family! I’m a handsome 2-year and 5-month-old male Golden Retriever mix with a beautiful tan and chocolate coat. I’ve been at the shelter since July 25, 2024, and I’m ready to find a loving home.

Here’s a bit about me:
- Potty and leash trained– I’ve got good manners!
- Great with kids– I’m gentle and would make a fantastic family dog.
- Dog-friendly– I do well with calm to mid-energy dogs, so I’d be a great companion if you already have a pup.

Overall, I’m an easygoing dog who loves to be around people and other dogs. If you’re looking for a loyal and loving addition to your family, I’m your guy!

Come meet me at the City of Denton shelter, and let’s see if we’re a perfect match. 🐕❤️

🐾 Meet Major – Your Next Adventure Buddy! 🐾

📍 Location: City of Denton Animal Shelter
🔹 Name: Major
▪️ Breed: Male, Red and Cream Siberian Husky Mix
🔹 Age: Approximately 11 months old

Major is a fun-loving, high-energy Husky who’s ready to find his forever home! He’s potty trained, walks well on a leash, and is one of the most talkative pups you’ll meet. Major would thrive in a house environment where he can explore and play to his heart’s content. He’s curious, adventurous, and would make an excellent hiking or running companion.

Since Major is in the top 5 dogs with the longest stay at the shelter, he’s eagerly waiting for someone to take him on his next big adventure. If you’re looking for a loyal, active friend with a typical Husky personality, Major is your guy!

Note:A dog meet and greet is always suggested .

Come meet Major at the City of Denton Animal Shelter and see if he’s the perfect fit for your home! 🐶❤️

🚨 Breakdancer in Training Needs a Home!🚨

Meet Miko, the 5-year-old domestic kitty who's convinced he's the next big thing in the world of breakdancing. 🕺✨ Sure, he might spend more time spinning in circles than actually on his paws, but don't tell him that—he's working on his moves!

Miko will impress you with his "cat wheel" (which looks a lot like chasing his tail) and his signature move, the "paw slide" (basically scooting across the floor after a toy). When he's not busy perfecting his routines, Miko loves to cuddle up for a good nap, dreaming of his future dance-off victories.

This guy has personality, pizzazz, and plenty of heart. If you're ready to adopt a kitty with rhythm (sort of), Miko is waiting to bust a move into your heart and home. 💃🐾

Adopt Miko today—because every great dancer needs a stage! 🏡

Sweet senior, Duke, is still waiting to live out his golden years being loved and pampered. Please share and help him find a forever home! ❤️

Help Us Find Duke a Home!

We can't understand why Duke hasn't found his forever family yet. This sweet senior dog has been with us for over 30 days, and every day we're more amazed by his gentle spirit. Duke is about 10 years old, and he has the most soulful eyes that tell a story of love, patience, and unwavering loyalty.

Duke may be in his golden years, but he still has so much love to give. He's a calm, steady companion who enjoys leisurely walks and quiet moments by your side. There's something truly special about him—his presence brings a sense of peace and comfort that's hard to put into words.

We're reaching out to our community because we believe in the power of coming together to make a difference. Duke deserves to spend his remaining years in a loving home, surrounded by people who appreciate the joy that only a senior dog can bring.

If you or someone you know can offer Duke the love and care he deserves, please don't hesitate to visit us at the shelter. Let's work together to give Duke the happy life he’s been waiting for!

Diva is currently with I Am Dog Rescue. ❤️ Reach out to them if you are interested in this sweet girl!

💋 DIVA - licious 💋
We're struggling to handle ALL OF THE ADORABLE in this sneak peek picture from our oh-so-talented friend, Sheila with Photography by Sheila. Diva is SUCH a character and she's also FULL of opinions. 🤨 We LOVE her new pictures, and we're pretty sure she was SO EXCITED to be treated JUST like the DIVA she is. She even took it upon herself to "work it" for the camera without being told. 😆 Just look at that big smile!
Don't you want to spend all your time with this girl? Help us find her paw-fect family, and share Diva with your network. 💞
