Additional adoption info
4Paws2Love's goal is to place homeless dogs into loving forever homes. We do this by taking special care in matching the right companion with the adopter(s), thus ensuring a lifetime of love and happiness for both the companion and the adopter.
Where do our companions come from? All of the companions in our program come from city/rural shelters where their lives were at risk of euthanasia. We are their guardians and their voice. We are committed to ensure that each and every companion, has the best possible "furever" home and that commitment is taken very seriously.
Please understand our rescue organization is solely run by volunteers who are not paid, that dedicate their time to help the companions in our program find the best possible home. The entire adoption process may take some time and we are not willing to sacrifice being thorough with our companion's future is at stake. We truly thank you for investing the time and patience throughout our adoption process.

Find a pet to adopt
Adopt a Pet is the easiest way for you to search for a new pet in DFW, TX.
Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
