Operation Kindness, the leading lifesaving shelter in Texas, is hosting a special holiday adoption event at Galleria Dallas. Community members can meet adoptable animals every Thursday through Sunday, beginning Nov. 26 and ending Dec. 24. The pop-up event will be on the first floor next to Santaland and SnowDay Dallas Thursday through Sunday from the time the mall opens until 6 p.m.
“We are so excited to be working with Galleria Dallas to provide animals the opportunity to meet potential adopters and find a loving home. The holidays are always an exciting time for us, and we love seeing families find their new best friends during the season of gratitude and celebration,” said Ed Jamison, CEO of Operation Kindness. “Galleria Dallas is the best place to shop and visit this time of year, and we are so thankful to partner with them to provide more dogs and cats with homes. Their support helps us continue addressing pet homelessness in our community.”
“We have been proud to help thousands of animals find their loving homes across the years,” explained Megan Townsend, director of marketing for Galleria Dallas. “Operation Kindness does an amazing job of helping North Texas families find the perfect pet for their lifestyle, and we’re glad to be a part of the story.”
The month-long holiday adoption at Galleria Dallas will occur every Thursday through Saturday at 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and 12 p.m. to 6 p.m on Sundays. Operation Kindness will also be available from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Christmas Eve. Potential adopters will be able to visit with Operation Kindness and the cutest pets ready to spend the holidays in their new loving homes.
