We recently took in a nursing poodle mom, Del, along with her newborn puppies after she was found roaming as a stray. No one came forward to reclaim her, which surprised us—Del is incredibly well‑behaved and gentle. She did arrive with heavy matting, so we aren’t sure how long she had been out on her own. Despite everything, she proved to be a wonderful mother: nurturing, patient, and so sweet. Her puppies have inherited her gentle, bashful personalities.
This litter is themed after the TV show The Way Home.
Elliot is the little boy. The four little girls are Alice, Katherine, Evelyn, and Suzanna
The puppies are currently about 7 weeks old and weigh around 3 lbs. They are fully weaned from their mom and enjoy a mixed diet of dry kibble and wet food. Their adoption fee is $800 each. Del is a 12‑lb poodle, and while we don’t know who the father is, we expect he was also a small breed.
These pups are still very young, so they are not yet house‑trained, leash‑trained, or crate‑trained. With love, patience, and proper socialization (after vetting is complete), they’ll thrive in homes with other furry friends.
What’s included in the adoption fee:
4 puppy booster vaccines
Microchip
Fecal exam (and full treatment if needed)
Rabies vaccine at 15 weeks
Spay/neuter between 10–12 weeks
Monthly flea/tick prevention while in our care
Free wellness exam within 7–10 days post‑adoption (we cover any treatment needed)
This is up to 6 FREE vet visits (including exams!)
Adopters must live in Tarrant County or within 30 minutes of our facility. Age requirement: 21+
Please note: These requirements help us ensure the best care for our puppies—we’re not able to make exceptions.
If you have any questions or would like to schedule a meet‑and‑greet, we’d love to hear from you. These little ones are ready to start their next chapter with loving families.

Our adoption fees for adult dogs start at $300, though could be higher based on adoption demand and medical costs. Our adoption fees for puppies start at $400, though could be higher based on adoption demand, and includes 4 veterinary visits to update vaccines and perform spay/neuter. Some dogs have higher adoption fees because of adoption interest
Our shelter mission focuses on medical and behavioral rehab cases, so our adoption fees never cover our costs.
We have an adoption application for dogs and cats and will check a vet reference as well as information regarding your home situation and pet compatibility.
Some adoptions will require a home visit.

More about this shelter
Animal Hope opened its doors as a standalone shelter on February 1, 2015.
Prior to that, Animal Hope operated as a small rescue at Animal Hospital Southwest. As the municipal veterinarian for the city of Fort Worth, Animal Hospital Southwest frequently pulled difficult cases that the city was not equipped to treat and rehabilitate due to budgetary and time constraints.
From this organization was born the Animal Hope shelter, a rescue focusing on rehabilitation and “second chance” adoptions.
