Story
Meet Loe! Loe is a beautiful 3½-year-old female Cardigan Corgi (tail included!) who is currently in a foster home and ready for her forever family. Due to major life changes, her previous owner made the decision to surrender her so she could receive the time, stability, and care she deserves. Loe is a gentle, curious girl who loves being close to her people and prefers to relax or play right by your side. She is typically quiet in the home, house-trained, crate-trained, does well with other dogs, and has experience around children. She thrives on routine and human connection and will do best in a home where she is not left alone for long periods, as she can become anxious when isolated. With consistency and reassurance, she settles nicely. True to her Corgi nature, she can be brave when excited and will need guidance around stairs, along with the usual Corgi quirks like scratching and shaking. Loe is spayed, microchipped, current on rabies and core vaccines, heartworm negative, and her adoption fee is $125. Because she is in a foster home, meet and greets are by approved online application only. If you're looking for a loyal, affectionate companion who wants to be close to her people, Loe may be your perfect match. Apply here: 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. January 22, 2026, 5:08 am

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Corky is a sweet young boy full of amazing personality.  He loves the outdoors and going on walks, but he's just as happy cuddling on the couch watching anything on TV, but animal and sports shows are his favorite.  He gets along well other dogs and is great with kids and adults alike.  The occasional weekend nap in the 'big bed' is a real treat that Corky takes full advantage of.  He loves to snuggle up deep under the covers, but then again, who doesn't?!?!  This little man will touch your life like no other.  The photo's don't give his furrowed brow the justice it deserves, you have to see it for yourself!

Story
Please contact Jamesa (roxysrescue@yahoo.com), 713-882-2610 for more information about this pet.This tall guy is AVERY, actually he had another name after a Game of Thrones character but I did not know that and changed it.  He is a purebreed Standard Poodle who is 5 1/2 years old and 63 pounds. AVERY was an owner surrender to our organization at no fault of his own.  The living conditions changed in his house after an emergency and he could not go with them.  His owner was heartbroken as she had him all his life.  She owned AVERY before she had her own 2-leg kids!!!  AVERY is very comfortable around newborns and toddlers.  He does very well with them, he is patient and tolerate.   He came into an environment that is really different for him, more dogs!!!!  He is doing good though, he doesn't bother them and their barking does not bother him.  He has been playing with the smaller breed dogs while trying to figure them out. The vet says AVERY is a little underweight at 63 pounds and could stand to gain a little bit.  He has a healthy appetite and loves treats.  So far he knows how to 'sit' and I have not tried any other commands but I will.  When I got him, he was quite overgrown and in desperate need of a grooming.  The groomer said he is very good at letting her do what is needed except he does not like his nails clipped.  She was able to get it done but AVERY was not happy about it.  So if that is the only thing that is bad about him then he is a great dog! He readily jumps in the car and does not get car sick.  He is leash trained and crate trained.  Not a chewer or bothers any personal items. If you are interested in adopting AVERY, please submit an application on the website below.  Thank you. www.roxysk9rescue.org       ADOPTION FEE & APPLICATION REQUIRED   Roxxy's K-9 Rescue does not have a shelter, all of our dogs are raised in foster homes.  Each dog comes  spay/neutered (fixed), rabies shots appropriate for their age, and dewormed twice.  The dogs are up to date on vaccinations according to their age at the time of adoption.  They are microchipped, heartworm tested and on monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventative.  ALL OF THIS IS INCLUDED IN THE ADOPTION FEE. We transport across the United States. Medical records will come with each dog at the time of adoption. Our organization is run by volunteers/foster parents, please be patient to give us time to respond to your emails and/or phone calls.  We will reply to you.  Thank you.         January 22, 2026, 2:32 am

Story
Hi, my name is Keto 🐕. I’m a very skinny mixed-breed who came from the pound, and I’ve been doing my best to learn what love and family mean. My mom truly loves me, but she’s unable to take care of me anymore. I have a very sensitive stomach, so I need someone who’s patient and attentive, and I’m also super energetic—I love running around, playing, and staying active. I absolutely adore children and would be happiest in a home with a big yard where I can stretch my legs and burn off my energy. I’m a sweet, loving pup just waiting for the right family to call my own. 💛

Story
Hi, my name is Kodack!!!! 🐶 I’m looking for a home with lots of space and someone who has plenty of energy and free time to spend with me. I’d do great in a home with lots of kids to play with and keep me active. I can be a little antisocial and protective at first, but deep down I’m very kind and loyal once I get to know you. My mom loves me so much, but she doesn’t have enough room or time to give me what I need. I’m hoping to find a family who can give me the space, attention, and love I deserve. 💙
