It’s time to head to Galleria Dallas for shopping and tree-lightings and Santa pictures — plus Gallas Dallas holiday pet adoptions, just in time for the holidays!
Thanks to a special partnership with Galleria Dallas, Operation Kindness will bring adoptable cats and dogs to the shopping center for its annual pop-up adoption event. The animal welfare organization hopes to find homes for 200 pets through the holiday location before Christmas Eve.
A Dallas Pet Adoption Center
From Nov. 29 to Dec. 24, Operation Kindness will host a pet adoption center at Galleria Dallas, 13350 Dallas Parkway, on Level 1 near Banana Republic and SNOWDAY. Adoptable pets will be available Wednesdays through Saturdays from 10:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. and Sundays from 12:00-6:00 P.M. The Operation Kindness adoption center will be open on Wednesdays this year to help us adopt even more animals. The adoption center will be open on Monday, December 23, from 10:00 A.M. – 6:00 P.M., and Christmas Eve, December 24, from 10:00 A.M. – 3:00 P.M.
This year, community members who adopt from Operation Kindness’ Galleria Dallas adoption center will receive a free commemorative photo ornament to remember their first holiday season with their new pet in the family.
Galleria Dallas Holiday Events
Galleria Dallas will also feature Operation Kindness on its December Gallery Wall, which shines a spotlight on a different local nonprofit each month. The display, on Level 1 across from Sephora, was designed by a group of students with the University of North Texas College of Visual Arts and Design. The playful design will feature a selfie area for Galleria Dallas visitors and their pets as well as let shoppers know about Operation Kindness’ mission and how to get involved. The gallery wall will be unveiled at a special event on Wednesday, December 4, from 4:00 – 5:00 p.m. with winter treats for people and their pets, followed by the first SNOWDAY Santa Paws night, where Galleria Dallas guests can see Santa with their pet.
At our Operation Kindness Galleria Dallas Adoption Center, we will have up to 12 dogs and cats available on-site at a time. Visitors can interact with the animals at the event and speak with volunteers to learn more about their backgrounds. Families interested in adoption can take their new pet home the same day in most cases.
While the holiday event doesn’t begin until Nov. 29, adoptable pets at the Operation Kindness shelter are always ready to find new loving homes. You can visit the shelter at 3201 Earhart Drive in Carrollton every day from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
