Please remember, good things can come from trapping the dogs. First, the dogs are no longer in danger of being hit by cars, attacked by other loose dogs, getting in fights over lady dogs, breeding and making more unwanted dogs, they are not chasing bikers, joggers, cats or kids, and most importantly, they are just safe. If you have concerns about the dogs being picked up and taken to the shelter, there are many, many worse things than being compassionate and humanly euthanized. We have seen that with this pack as this last weekend as one of the loose dogs reportedly killed another loose dog in the park. Let\u2019s get the dogs picked up and potentially onto a new life. What\u2019s that cage in the park? It\u2019s an animal live trap to help the stray dogs roaming our neighborhood and parks.

Please help these dogs and follow these guidelines for tracking the dogs and monitoring the trap: PLEASE: If you see the dogs, please report them to 311 and to Gypsy Dog Ops. Please text 214.4147.4142 or FB tag Gypsydog Ops with time\/ location\/ description \/ and 311 Service Request # Don\u2019t park in front of the trap, drive by, and or rubberneck. We want to avoid anything that would make the dogs hesitant to go near the trap. Walk your dogs across the street or across the park away from the trap. There is food in the trap and your dog may want to go near it and we wouldn\u2019t want them to get in the trap. Don\u2019t touch the trap – You could trigger the closure preventing us from catching the dogs. Plus, it\u2019s illegal. If you see a dog or a cat in the live trap, please call 311 and report the animal in the trap. Get the service request number \u2013 the service number is important! Then move to step #6 In addition to calling 311 text this number: 417.4142 and let us know. We have a hot line to a DAS supervisor that the 311 operator does not. If it is after 10pm, please text and call this number. If an animal is in the trap: PLEASE LEAVE THE TRAP AND DOG or CAT alone. Do not approach the trap. Dallas Animal Services will come ASAP. Don\u2019t feed the dogs when they\u2019re roaming We want them to be attracted to the food in the trap. This is NOT an official city communication. This is a courtesy post from Gypsy Dog Ops.
