Story
WE ARE A TX BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN TX AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED UPON ADOPTION. Please fill out an adoption application found at haydudeequine.org Snowy - You are the bridge between what was and what will be, my pathway to a new life! Hey y'all, my name is Snowy and yep I'm a little ball of fluff. But unlike the white fluffy stuff outside I'm warm and soft. And I don't melt either although I am pretty darn sweet. But I will say that I need some space first to get to know you. The good news is that I do bond fairly quickly and once I do, I love with the whole heart and I'm very very treat motivated. I will be your BFF in no time if you happen to have the treats!! I'm 10lbs and around 3 years old and I'm well out of the puppy destructive stage. I'm fairly affectionate once the trust is established but I'm not a clingy pup. I love to sit on the arm of the couch beside you or up on the back, better view up there so I can see all that's happening. I will follow you from room to room but especially if you head for the kitchen cuz I do know...that's where the treats are located!!! I give the nicest kisses and I do have a playful side sometimes. I like to play with the fingers when you try to 'get me'. And not to forget my favoritest thing is butt scratches!! Oh my, I just have to start the little dance when I get those. I would do best in a quieter home without small kiddos and not a lot of traffic in the house that has some experience with the Pomeranian breed. I will bark at new people and they shouldn't try to pet me right away. Treats at this time are also great to help me associate these new people with good things. I am house and crate trained. I did have a few accidents when first coming to my foster home but with learning the routine I have done very well with going potty outside. I do well with the other foster pups here but I'd make a better companion then playmate. I would probably do better with an older sibling then a puppy that would be in my space all the time. I also don't mind the cat that lives here. I pretty much just ignore her, they smell funny anyway!!! I would also be just as happy to be your one and only! If you have the patience to let me get comfortable on my own time, I'll be well worth the wait. I am affectionate with the people I know, get excited when you arrive home, will keep you company and love you with everything in me. If you'd want to take a chance on me, I'd love to take that chance on YOU!

Story
Found this super sweet pup with his black Reddy branded collar and pink leash abandoned in the dog park of an apartment near Texas State University. The vet has confirmed that he has no microchip and is between 8 to 9 months of age. This cute guy is so well behaved and has clearly been trained so we would love to find a forever home for him. In two weeks, I will be going out of the country for one month and I would feel more at ease knowing that he will be in a loving home. PLEASE contact me at (xxx) xxx-xxxx if you are interested in making him a part of the family as your dog!!!! He is super fun and has the goofiest energy and gives so many kisses. Even through what he has been through he has the best energy I have ever seen in a dog. Not too timid, not aggressive at all, quick learner and is super playful and sometimes likes to be vocal because he is really really good at telling you his wants and needs. I would most likely keep him if I didn't have this long international trip.

Story
Is anyone missing me? I am an adult neutered male Bull Terrier mix that weighs around 40 Lbs. I was found off of Tubbs Rd. in Rockwall on 12/10/23. No tags on my collar. I do have a microchip but unfortunately my microchip was not registered to an owner. The implant facility is working on getting that information but in the meantime, if anyone recognizes me, please call the Rockwall Adoption Center at 972-771-7750 ext 2. I am currently unavailable for adoption and am on stray hold for the next 7 days to allow my owners to come and reclaim me.  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. December 11, 2023, 1:12 pm
