Denton Animal Support Foundation

The Denton Animal Support Foundation's mission is simple: to save animals' lives. They are a non-profit organization that works directly with local animal shelters and facilities to help save animals and find them forever homes. They also seek to reduce neglect and abuse, encourage humane treatment of all animals, and help provide medical treatment. The DASF does NOT own or operate any shelters and does NOT handle pets directly. Instead, they provide funding to local shelters and pet initiatives.
