'Tis the Season To Be Prepared

Is your household prepared for an emergency? The Town of Sunnyvale needs your responses to the Community Resilience Survey to help shape a safer, stronger North Texas!

The survey is being administered by the North Central Texas Council of Governments. Specific information from Sunnyvale residents will add great value to this regional effort and provide critical local insights for emergency preparedness. Please use the links below:

Learn more about this pet and others on our Petfinder page

Athena is a one-year-old female Shepherd Mix: Athena has lots of energy and enjoys her time around people! She walks wonderfully on a leash and would love to be your new hiking buddy, or maybe your Frisbee champ! She would love to find her forever home before Christmas!

We would love for you to share this with others and bring awareness to the Sunnyvale Animal Shelter's animals and services. If your family is ready to welcome a new member, we currently have many adoptable pets in our shelter looking for a loving home. Learn more by visiting our Petfinder page or calling (214) 862-4525.
