Wild Dogs in Area
Dog Alerts
Animal control has been making regular sweeps throughout the neighborhood and impounding any stray dogs. If you own a dog, per Dallas code, the dogs should not be allowed to roam free. A lot of the dogs that the city has picked up are domestic dogs and have owners. At night, if they are unsecured, they do what their instincts tell them to do: they find other dogs, run in a pack, and kill cats for sport. If the city impounds them and their owners claim them, the owners are fined and a chip is placed on the dog.
Until the situation clears up, do not allow your cats to roam freely, especially at night. If you see any stray dogs, call 311 immediately. They are instructed to call animal control.
