CitySource visited Fritz Park's animal-connection (petting farm) experience, where staff and visitors highlighted ducks, lemurs, baby goats, peacocks, wallabies and a new pig race attraction designed for young children. Presenters described the features as family-oriented and encouraged attendance during park hours.
Separately, Michael Whiteside of the Irving Animal Care Campus and the DFW Humane Society described several adoptable animals and said that for the month of June, all pets at the Irving Animal Care Campus that are 1 year or older are free to adopt. Whiteside said the shelter has seen many returns and surrenders and urged the public to adopt to free space. He also gave the campus location as 4140 Valley View Lane and invited viewers to check the animal care websites for hours and adoptable pets.
The segment noted adoption specials and shelter operations but did not include detailed adoption statistics, shelter budget figures or policy changes to animal-control ordinances.
