Adopt A Pet at Operation Kindness, A No-Kill Animal Shelter
Operation Kindness has been a North Texas instituion since 1976. I adopted Eh? from them in 1984 when they were located in a tiny building in Garland, Texas. Zed joined the family in 1988 and by that time, Operation Kindness had moved to larger quarters on Beltline Road in Farmers Branch. Eh? and Zed never really got along, but did tolerate each other. Sadly, they're both gone now.
I vowed that my next cats would be littermates, in the hopes that they would peacefully coexist. And they do. By the time I got around to adopting Knickknack (Nick) and Bric-a-brac (Bric). Operation Kindness had moved to their current location:
3201 Earhart Dr.,
Carrollton, TX 75006
(just north of Addison, SW of the Keller Springs/Midway intersection, on Earhart, in the cul-de-sac).
Operation Kindness is a non-profit organization and they get no government funding. At any time, they are likely to have between 200 and 250 animals in the shelter, and about 75 in foster homes. Because they are a no-kill facility, the animals remain there until adopted out. Several years ago, my friend Helen adopted Dixie, a dog who had been there for about 15 months. Because they do not euathanize, they can only take in animals when they have room. All animals adopted at Operation Kindness must be spayed or neutered.
So, if a pet is in your future plans, stop by Operation Kindness and pick your pup or choose your cat!
Zed, Eh? Bric, Nick
