At Dallas Animal Services, there is a critical need for pet adoptions. "We really need people to come adopt," said Marlo Clingman with Dallas Animal Services. "We have 370 dogs here today and would love to see all these kennels empty." Although DAS has seen a slight uptick in adoptions since Clear the Shelters kicked off at the beginning of August, it's not enough to make up for the 30 to 60 dogs that come into the shelter each day. "That adds up. If we're only getting 20 or so adoptions a day, that's just not going to cut it with the number of dogs we're getting in," Clingman said.
