Story
Toast, who is male Basenji mix, has been patiently waiting for his forever family while so many other dogs have come and gone. Every day he wakes up hopeful that today might be the day someone chooses him. Unfortunately, that day hasn’t come yet. The truth is, Toast is an incredible dog. Toast is approx two years old, fully vetted, which means he has been neutered, vaccinated, heartworm tested, microchipped, and is current on all preventatives. He weighs about 45 pounds. Extremely well mannered and knows several commands. He is also housebroken and crate trained, making him ready to transition into a loving home. Toast gets along well with other dogs and children, but because of his enthusiasm and energy, he would do best in a home where family members are steady and firm on their feet. He is an active young dog who needs daily walks, exercise, and a securely fenced yard where he can run and play. And when we say run, we mean RUN! 🏃‍♂️💨 Toast is quite literally one of the fastest dogs we have ever seen. Watching him stretch his legs across the yard is truly something to behold. He absolutely loves car rides, adventures, and spending time with his foster brothers and sisters. Because he enjoys canine companionship so much, a home with another friendly dog would be ideal for him. Despite all of these wonderful qualities, Toast continues to wait. He doesn’t know that his adoption fee has been lowered. He doesn’t know that we’re sharing his story again in hopes that the right person or family will see it. He only knows that every day he has so much love to give and no family of his own to give it to. Please help us change that. Share this post, tag your friends, and help us find the family that has been missing out on this amazing boy. We know they’re out there somewhere. ❤️ Toast deserves a home, a family, and a lifetime of love. If you would like to meet Toast or learn more about adopting him, please send us a text at Sunshine Acres Animal Sanctuary, Inc. directly to 469-952-1192.

Story
Truly was adopted by our family in 2017 and has been an amazing addition! She is funny, smart, cozy & just an overall cool girl. We have faced a series of unfortunate circumstances from family dynamic, medical issues, financial difficulties and residential challenges that have affected the way we have been able to show up for Truly and in her later years, she deserves so much more. Looking for a family or individual to provide love and cuddles and sneak over yummy watermelon snacks to our sweet girl.

Story
Meet Kira! Kira's story has not been an easy one, but she is ready for a new beginning. She was found off Steger Towne Crossing in Rockwall on 8/12/26 and never reclaimed. Kira is an approximately 6 month old female Kelpie/Basenji mix weighing approx. 30 pounds who is now looking for a patient, understanding home where she can finally feel safe and secure. Kira is shy at first but has a very sweet nature once she begins to warm up. She is still learning how to navigate the world and will need an experienced dog owner who can provide guidance, structure, and patience in order to build her confidence and learn how to simply be a dog again. She will benefit from continued leash training and positive reinforcement to help her thrive. Kira has not yet been tested with other dogs and is not recommended with children under the age of 16. If you currently have another pet in the home, a meet and greet is suggested prior to adoption to help ensure a good fit for everyone. Her adoption fee is $125. She is spayed, microchipped, current on her rabies vaccine, boosters to date, and heartworm negative. If you are ready to give Kira the time, patience, and care she deserves, please apply online: https://rockwalladoptions.com/adoptfoster/adoption-application/  All animals, unless otherwise noted in their description, are at 1825 Airport Rd. in Rockwall, TX. Hours of operation are Monday-Friday 9 am to 6 pm and Saturdays 9 am to 5 pm. For questions, please call 972-771-7750 ext. 2 or email info@RockwallAdoptions.com. IMPORTANT NOTICE: All shelter animals are required by Texas state law to be spayed/neutered. RAC completes this procedure at the age of 12 weeks. If you are adopting a pet under the age of 12 weeks or an animal that has not yet been spayed or neutered, you will be required to return the pet to our facility on the agreed upon date set at the time of adoption. This policy is non-negotiable and violation of this health code is a criminal offense. September 5, 2026, 12:04 pm

Story
Oogie is a lot of things - all good we might add - and definitely a conversation starter. With his boxy face and pointy ears he is not easily identifiable as a specific breed, and everybody he encounters asks, "What exactly is he?" We can only guess as far as breed, but what he is definitely is a sweet lovable, easy-going and great all around guy. So whether you are in need of a walking/jogging partner, somebody to cuddle with, or somebody who will help you make new friends, Oogie is your man! Come meet him! He is definitely worth it! Our Furry Friendz are available for adoption through a screening process which includes but is not limited to: a completed application, 3 referrals, a home visit, and a vet referral prior to their furever home placement. The dogs are Spayed/Neutered, micro chipped, current on all vaccines and on heart worm/flea preventive.
