At the overcrowded Dallas Animal Services, any pet past due over the mandatory holding period, without a potential home, is at risk of losing their life. And let’s remember – the dedicated staff and volunteers try their best to help.
A one-year-old German shepherd, dubbed Belle, (A1215428) arrived at the shelter after having been found as a stray at the 1400 block of Wright Street in Dallas, Texas. When she arrived on May 23, 2024, she was listed as a stray and had labored breathing and limping on her back leg possibly the result of having been hit by a vehicle. Her family never came to be reunited with her.
(She weighs 57.90 pounds, is one-year-old and heartworm negative)

SHELTER OBSERVATION:
Approached Belle in kennel; she didn’t get up. I opened the kennel door and she remained laying down. Offered her treats, she was not interested until I tossed them on the floor. She allowed pets and seemed to enjoy scratches around her neck. I tossed a few treats away to see if she wanted to get up, and she slowly pulled herself up and moved towards the treats. After getting treats from rear of kennel she did approach me again in the front. She appears to have an abrasion/scratch on her right hind leg.
Please note the most recent entry indicates Belle is currently in foster care. That does not mean she doesn’t need a home.
