FIDUS Pet Concierge

Dane Park, a Fidus Community supports and welcomes the mission behind it: a day of global giving.

As a company built around dogs and supporting the human-animal bond, we proudly partner with over 80 of DFW's animal rescues and shelters and help their dogs find homes. Having no breed or weight limitations, we have removed the housing restriction barrier that has lead to owner surrender for far too long. With our Fidus Foster Program, we have helped dozens of dogs graciously land a temporary, loving home.

Giving Tuesday is a time to support organizations that hold a meaning in your heart. Please consider helping an animal rescue or shelter today, and allow them to continue the pawsome work they do daily to save the lives of innocent animals!

Happy families are completed with a pawsome dog! As a dog-centric community, we love to share photos of our furry residents and the stories of amazing adoptions that have happened on our property.

Make sure you bring your family and your pups over to the giant Dane statue for the perfect photo opp during this holiday weekend! Make sure and tag us and to be featured on our socials.

The holidays have arrived, and while we may enjoy having our friends and families over, this can be stressful for our 4-legged family members.

Allow your dog a little space of their own to retreat when they need the space to decompress. It's important to give them personal space, especially when your home becomes noisy with the festivities. Create a warm and inviting spot for your dog in a separate room or in a corner. You can use a crate with the door left open or a soft bed and put their favorite toys, a few treats, pillows and blankets so they can cuddle up and even play soft music. Not all dogs are a social butterfly, so read your dog and understand when they may need a little break.

Fidus Communities Dane Park Grapevine and Dane Park North Garland wish everyone a happy holiday week!

Fostering Saves Lives!

DFW is experiencing a crisis: animal rescues and shelters have been over capacity for far too long. They are unable to keep up with the intake of animals in need due to space limitations, and for shelters who are unable to turn away animals, extremely tough decisions need to be made. Dogs are forced to share an already small kennel with two, sometimes three, other dogs. There are dogs in kennels in the hallways and otherwise "open" space that was never meant to house them. Workers and volunteers are exhausted due to the long and tedious hours and are experiencing emotional turmoil as well.

What can you do? Foster! Foster homes are in critical need. Every shelter and every rescue can use foster homes. This allows them to get their wonderful dogs into a loving home for a period of time, while they continue to save more lives. If you can open your home to a foster dog in need, please apply to become a foster and begin your journey ASAP!

Dogs featured: Dede from Dallas Animal Services and Adoption Center, Faith from Cody's Friends Rescue, Tacoma from Garland Animal Shelter & Adoption Center and Georgie from Legacy Humane Society.
