The City of Dallas extended its gratitude to several dedicated employees of Dallas Animal Services (DAS) in a staff bulletin released yesterday. Michael Whiteside and Stephanie Toombs were lauded for their exceptional efforts to work with a foster's hectic schedule, ensuring they had the necessary supplies for successful fostering. Jayme Atkinson earned praise for her flexibility in organizing photo sessions for DAS teams, and Natasha Paschall for her last-minute assistance with animal intake on Wednesday evening, according to the City of Dallas.
For those looking to support DAS, the agency's wish list is accessible through Amazon, highlighting the items they need the most. In the spirit of the holidays, the bulletin invited the community to bring their pets to the Santa Paws event at De Warren Park scheduled for today, December 14, from 1 PM to 4 PM on Ginsburg Family East Lawn, where, among various activities, they can enjoy photos with Santa and live music.
This festive event boasts a lineup of attractions, including vendors, crafted 'pup' cocktails, dog adoption resources, and professional photography, promising a pleasant afternoon for Dallas' animal lovers and their furry companions. Running from the early afternoon into the beginning of the evening, Santa Paws at De Warren Park was crafted to be a gathering point for the local community, encouraging celebrations that are inclusive of canine family members.
Interested parties can also check out a range of dog-related services and vendors while enjoying the ambiance set by a live music backdrop. Whether you're in the market for a new pet or simply looking to enjoy some quality time with your current four-legged friend, today's Santa Paws event offers a unique opportunity to mix holiday cheer with animal welfare. As the city wraps up in festivities and the hum of merriment echoes through the streets, the Dallas Animal Services team continues to demonstrate their commitment to both the welfare of animals and the joy of the communities they serve.
