Our Story

Daybreak is the very first glimpse of sunlight in a new day

Created in 2020 by Jazmin Kelly, a long-serving animal advocate in Dallas, Daybreak Animal Hospital’s purpose is to create a space known for quality healthcare and compassionate treatment for sick and injured animals. Daybreak aims to serve the animals within our overflowing animal shelters, our overstretched rescue groups, and the underserved members of our society.

By providing low-cost veterinary care, we will ensure that no animal suffers due to a lack of financial resources at any step of the animal healthcare cycle.

The next milestone step in realizing our vision is to secure the necessary funds to establish a physical location. Together, we can build a sanctuary of healing and compassion, a brick-and-mortar haven where animals receive the care they deserve.

Join us on this journey as we embark on the mission to alleviate the suffering of animals by providing low-cost veterinarian services that support the community, shelters, and animal rescues.

Learn more about our programs and ask us how you can get involved by volunteering your time and talents to make a lasting difference in the lives of animals and the people who care for and cherish them.
