DARS-TX takes care of essential medical costs for the animals in its program, including spaying or neutering, routine vaccinations, and parasite treatments. Foster families play a crucial role by providing food, shelter, and affection to the animals they care for, all without any financial compensation. Our organization relies heavily on these dedicated foster families and other volunteers whose selfless efforts are vital for keeping DARS-TX operational. Without their commitment, our nonprofit would struggle to fulfill its mission.
