ABOUT CODE RED ANIMAL PROJECT
Founded in 2022, Code Red Animal Project was created in response to the overwhelming number of dogs euthanized in DFW shelters simply due to space. We’re a passionate, action-driven team focused on saving deaf and “last call” dogs when time is running out.
We work alongside shelters, fosters, and veterinary partners to give these animals the chance to decompress, heal, and learn what it means to be safe—often for the first time. While urgent dogs are our priority, we never ignore an animal in need.
More than a rescue, we’re a community: committed to education, advocacy, and doing the work it takes to turn “last call” into second chances.
PHILOSOPHY
At Code Red Animal Project, animals come first—always. Every animal in our care is treated as an individual, not a deadline. We give them the time, patience, and support they need to heal, grow, and succeed.
We lean into the cases others pass by—medical needs, behavioral challenges, the misunderstood and mislabeled—because we believe every life is worth the effort.
Our strength lies in our people. We embrace the diverse experience, perspectives, and expertise of our team, volunteers, and partners. Through collaboration, flexibility, and a strong sense of community, we work together to create real, lasting impact for animals across Dallas-Fort Worth and beyond.
OUR EQUITY STATEMENT
At Code Red Animal Project, collaboration and inclusivity are at the heart of everything we do. We believe in the inherent value of every living being and foster a culture rooted in respect, kindness, dignity, and compassion.
Our community—volunteers, fosters, adopters, and supporters—is strengthened by the diverse identities, experiences, and perspectives each person brings. We are committed to creating a space where everyone feels seen, valued, and respected. In turn, we expect all who represent our organization to treat others with the same level of dignity and care, regardless of beliefs, identities, or backgrounds.
We recognize and celebrate differences in age, gender, race, sexual orientation, nationality, physical ability, thought, and lived experience as essential to our growth and impact. Just as we advocate for animals of all breeds and backgrounds, we welcome all people whose values align with our mission.
Through inclusion and connection, we cultivate creativity, compassion, and meaningful change in the communities we serve.
