According to a new report, which will be received by ‘Dallas city council Committee’ today from ‘Dallas Animal Services’, more loose dogs are being picked up in the city and more dogs are being released for adoption.

This is one of the city’s latest progression reports, as the city continues to try and get a handle on the more than nine thousand loose dogs reported mostly south of Interstate 30 and create a dangerous atmosphere of safety in several South Dallas neighborhoods, where residents have long complained about the threats from loose and dangerous dogs.

The briefing to the Quality of Life and Environmental Committee outlines the progress made in the first three months of implementation of strategies to combat the problem.

Data provided by Dallas Animal Services says impoundments of loose dogs have increased by 33-percent for the last three months of 2016 versus the same time period in 2015; a 193-percent uptick in citations and an 18-percent increase in live release of animals though adoptions.

The report also highlights increased daily data available to the public on loose animals reports as an example of increased transparency for the agency.

Peter Brodsky, appointed by Dallas mayor Mike Rawlings to run the Dallas Animal Commission, says that his long term goal is to continue to increase the number of spay and neuter efforts in Dallas.

On Sunday Brodsky said "If we are going to provide these services at no cost, there's going to have to be financial support for it and we are seeing that interest in the philanthropic community."

Brodsky estimates that it will take $ 15-20 million to spay and neuter 46,000 animals annually for three years to catch up with the population growth curve in animals.

Brodsky also said,"If that happens and we actually get that done, it is the solution to our problem.”
