Founded in 1986, ACT has accomplished the following:
Fought and won a 4-year battle to end pound seizure in Dallas (the practice of selling dogs and cats from city shelters to research labs).

Established SNYP (discount spay/neuter coupon program, used throughout the metroplex). Call 214-349-SNYP for coupons and information.

Helped bring to Dallas: Pet-Fixx (mobile spay/neuter clinic, free to low-income residents) and Luv-A-Pet (now Spay /Neuter Assistance Program)

Placed spay/neuter and anti-rodeo ads on DART buses

Placed anti-fur billboards and TV commercials

ACT members collected signatures and spoke at city council meetings to help pass a proposition in the 1996 bond election to fund a new animal shelter for the city of Dallas.

Current Campaigns
