Story

Maggie may have spent time on her own, but sheâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s off to a great start getting to know all her new friends. Sheâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s met both big dogs and little dogs, and even when her curiosity gets the best of her, she takes a cue from her new friends. Cats will keep her amused, even if they are uninterested in her. She knows how to walk on her leash, sleep in her crate, and take care of business outside. Sheâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s played well with young children, but she can benefit from the loving guidance of adults to help her become more confident. Sheâ&#194&#128&#194&#153ll learn from a family who wants to help her become her best self. In her eyes, youâ&#194&#128&#194&#153re everything! Maggie has plenty of energy and will enjoy getting out for a run in addition to her walks. She loves toys, catching a ball, and playing tug. For a family with lots of love to offer to her, sheâ&#194&#128&#194&#153ll steal your heart, and youâ&#194&#128&#194&#153ll love her anyway!

Story

Meet the perennially goofy and Just Happy to Be IncludedÂ®, Bowie the Border Collie. He is a 5-year old, 90lb Border Collie (as the name implies), with a big goofy smile and a sunny disposition. Bowie was one of my mother's furbabies, and she passed unexpectedly this year, leaving my partner and I scrambling to find a home for him and his dog-brother Scout. We are unfortunately unable to foster them indefinitely due to our own existing pet situation, and we need to find them a good home as soon as possible. Bowie is a laid back, very zen, sometimes a little derpy, pup who loves to take walks and chase squirrels, but is equally comfortable just lounging around all day. Bowie is great with kids, he lived with my Niece his whole life, and is very gentle and loving with her. He's great at chasing balls, just not great at returning them. He gets along great with other dogs, and has lived with cats before, though not recently. Bowie, as I mentioned before, is just happy to be included, whether that is playing with other pups, walks, sitting on the porch drinking coffee (not him, me) or whatever else is going on. He is calm under pressure, has no storm/thunder anxiety, and no destructive behaviors (digging, chewing, clawing). Bowie absolutely adores belly rubs and will flop over at your feet and let you rub his belly for hours and just fall asleep. Hands will definitely get tired before Bowie does. An ideal home for Bowie would be one with other dog(s) to interact with and keep him company and lead his little pack of one. Bowie IS currently on medication for arthritis and hyperthyroidism, so he does have medical needs that have to be considered, but we are hoping as we get his weight down (my mother was unable to exercise him and was not diligent in portion control the last year or so) that these conditions should be ameliorated or resolved. Bowie is leash and house trained. My mother spent some time crate training him but fell out of practice as her health declined and he hasn't needed one for a while. He should take to it quickly though if crate training is needed in your home, and knows the basics of Sit, Stay, Come. This sweet and loving pup is deserving of the perfect furever home.

Right now, I live in a high-rise with no outdoor space, but I dream of having more room to run. When playtime is over, Iâ&#194&#128&#194&#153m a sweet cuddler who loves to curl up with my humans. If theyâ&#194&#128&#194&#153re busy, Iâ&#194&#128&#194&#153d be so happy to have a furry friend or a playful human buddy to keep me company. â&#194&#156¨ The basics: Age: 2 years old Breed: Boxer/Border Collie mix Health: Healthy, fully immunized Special note: I used to eat too fast, but my slow feeder keeps me happy and healthy! In short: Iâ&#194&#128&#194&#153m a loving, active pup who just wants to cuddle, run, and play. I'm being rehomed because my family is having to move.

Baylee is a wonderful companion who loves snuggles. She likes to run outside and play. She’s a bit timid at first but warms up pretty quickly especially with treats. Does well at doggy daycare. She does well with the low energy or older dogs. Loves the couch and a place in the bed if allowed. Has manners. Knows “give paw” “wait” “quiet time” “sit” “down” and “gentle” when giving her treats. Currently lives with another dog and cat. And loves to go visit my mom’s dogs. Amazing family pet that needs to expend energy.

Story

Raze is around 3 years old and I adopted her from Dallas Animal Shelter 2 years ago. She’s very energetic, sweet, and loves to cuddle. She’s very vocal, crate trained and will use potty pads. She does eat her toys so durable ones are better for her. Raze is the best I’m just not in the position anymore to give her the best home she needs. She loves cuddles and is very treat motivated.

Maxx pka Tyler Smurf

Border Collie Pit Bull Terrier

Male, 4 mos

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained,

Story

Meet Maxx! Maxx is the sweetest boy! He loves toys more than any puppy I’ve met before and honestly should probably be a spokes-dog for BarkBox. If there’s a toy around, Maxx will find it—and love it. Maxx is about 4–5 months old, crate trained, and nearly housebroken. He’s the perfect mix of playful and snuggly, happy to chase toys one minute and curl up with his people the next. This handsome pup is a Border Collie mix and will likely be medium-sized when fully grown. Maxx is great with other dogs, wonderful with kids, and given his easygoing personality, would likely do just fine with cats too. If you’re looking for a fun, loving puppy to add to your family, Maxx might be your guy! ##2627291##

Story

*** SOOKIE IS A COURTESY POST *** INTERESTED APPLICANTS WILL BE DIRECTED TO CURRENT GUARDIARN *** Meet Sookie – Brains, Bounce, and a Big Border Collie Heart Sookie is the kind of dog who turns a backyard into her own agility stadium. With her athletic build, sharp focus, and joyful leaps, this gorgeous Border Collie absolutely loves practicing jumps and showing off her impressive air. Watching her mid-flight is like seeing a tiny four-legged gymnast in action. But Sookie is more than an athlete. Once she knows you, her serious “working dog” expression softens into something incredibly sweet. She leans in for affection, seeks out her person, and happily melts into pets after a good play session. With her people, Sookie is deeply loyal and wonderfully affectionate in that special Border Collie way. She forms a close bond and loves being near the person she trusts. Because Sookie is thoughtful and sensitive, she thrives with a home that understands her need for a little time and patience when meeting new people. She isn’t the “center of the party with strangers” type. She’s more of a “let’s get to know each other first” kind of girl. Give her that space, and the reward is an incredibly devoted companion. Sookie would do best in a home that can provide: • Slow, positive introductions to new people• A calm environment without small children• A cat-free home• Either life as an only dog or with a very playful, well-matched canine friend• Thoughtful, gradual introductions to other dogs An active home that appreciates the brilliant Border Collie mind will be the perfect match. Whether it’s agility, training games, hiking, or simply learning new things together, Sookie is ready to partner with someone who enjoys engaging both her brain and her athletic spirit. At the end of the day, after the jumps are cleared and the energy is spent, Sookie’s favorite place is right beside her person, soaking up affection and enjoying the quiet connection she values so deeply. If you’re looking for a loyal, intelligent companion who can soar over jumps and then curl up close for cuddles, Sookie might just be your perfect teammate. ##2678098##

Story

Met Scooter! My husband and I are elementary school teachers and this sweet boy (now affectionately called Scooter) had been hanging around the school playground since the beginning of the year. When Animal Control came and said he would be euthanized that night, we couldnâ&#194&#128&#194&#153t let that happen. We scooped him up and brought him to our in laws home in Frisco. He is good with other dogs, cats, and kids! Scooter has been nothing short of wonderful. Heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s gentle, loving, and great with kids. Heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s fully potty trained, walks beautifully on a leash, and has quickly adjusted to being indoors. Heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s vaccinated, neutered and has the sweetest, most even temperament, he especially loves rolling over for belly rubs and being close to people. This boy is the best and deserves the best home! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * If you have a specific question about Scooter, then please email newdigs@dallaspetsalive.org.

Eevee (New Digs)

Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Let's go Eevee! This fun, energetic girl will PokÃ©mon-go with you on any adventure. Eevee is a rambunctious bundle of energy that would fit in great with a family that gets outdoors and has space for her to run around at home. She is a bit of an attention hog, so she will do best in a single-dog home, but she has lived with both a cat and a dog and may be able to settle in with the right animal friends with enough time and training. Eevee needs animal companions that are respectful of her space when food is out, or to be fed separately. Owners and animal friends would need to be able to handle her high energy play-drive, so similar sized dog friends may be best. Eevee has lived with a toddler for two years, but may be better with older children after a slow introduction. Eevee is smart and very trainable. Earlier in her puppyhood, Eevee did a 3 week board and train and has some basic obedience training that, while rusty, could easily be honed further. She's showed aptitude for agility-style courses, and can be convinced to do most anything with the right treats. Eevee's prior trainer has stated that he would give any new owner two free training sessions to support Eevee's transition into a new home. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * If you have a specific question about Eevee, then please email newdigs@dallaspetsalive.org.
