Meet one of the best girls in town, Lassie!
She is a very well-behaved lady at the shelter and one of the staff's favorites (just don't tell the others). Lassie always keeps her kennel neat and is very patient when staff needs to take her out of her kennel. With notes from her previous home, we think Lassie may do best as the only pet in the household. Got treats? Well, you got a friend! Lassie would LOVE to have her new best friend meet her today!
Lassie's adoption includes her spay, microchip, initial vaccines, heartworm test/treatment, dewormer, and a flea treatment. Meet Lassie today!
Lassie is one of our many long-timers at the shelter - currently going on 78 days waiting for a new home.

Fight the Bite! Follow the "Five Ds"

DRAIN standing water in your backyard and neighborhood; old tires, flowerpots, and clogged rain gutters are mosquito breeding sites. Change out pet water and birdbaths daily and keep swimming pools treated.
-
DEET - Apply insect repellent that contains DEET (N, N-diethyl-m-toluamide). Be sure to read label instructions. Spray clothing with repellent as well as exposed skin.
-
DRESS in light-colored long sleeves and long pants when you are outside.
-
DUSK and DAWN are when mosquitoes are most active. Stay indoors or minimize outdoor activities.
-
DOORS and windows should remain closed and screens kept in good repair to prevent mosquitoes from entering your home.

Due to the COVID-19 public health crisis, Duncanville small businesses are facing a significant financial crisis. It has been estimated that only about one-half of America’s small businesses were able to apply for federal assistance before that first round of funding was committed and that 80% of them still do not know if their application was approved. With 53% of the nation’s jobs coming from businesses with less than 100 employees and with many of these jobs being disproportionately held by low/moderate-income people with already limited resources, much of the local economy is at great risk. To that end, the federal government has passed the American Rescue Plan Act, which gives local governments the ability to provide financial assistance to their local small businesses. The City of Duncanville has allocated $350,000 in ARPA funds to help Duncanville small businesses.
