Where Shelter Animals come from

Dallas Animal Shelter Data pertains to operational processes carried out by shelter personnel who assist citizens by receiving surrendered and stray animals, facilitating adoptions, transferring animals to rescue groups, and providing care to the animals in the shelter every day. Shelter personnel document their work using Chameleon software, an animal shelter management program. “Helping Dallas be a safe, compassionate, and healthy place for people and animals”. The Live Animals at the Shelter Dataset is updated every hour and provides an updated record of all animals currently at hand at the Shelter.
