Meet Scout City: The Handsome Hound Looking for His Forever Home! Introducing Scout City, our nearly six-year-old hound mix who's ready to find a loving forever home. Weighing in at a sturdy 87 pounds, Scout is a handsome and friendly boy who has faced a lot in his life but remains full of love and loyalty. Scout was born in our care in 2019 after his mom was brought to the shelter. Sadly, his mom couldn't leave the shelter due to protocol and contracted distemper, leaving Scout as the sole survivor of his litter. Adopted as a puppy, Scout's journey took a tough turn when he was abandoned by his adopter at the shelter following a breakup. Since then, Scout has been living in boarding, waiting patiently for his chance at a stable, loving home. Scout can be a little timid in new situations, but once he relaxes, his whole face lights up with joy. He loves toys and treats, and his happy-go-lucky nature makes him a delightful family dog. Scout does well with other dogs and enjoys both playing with canine friends and having quiet time by himself. This speckled dude is one of our favorites. He's a large, good-looking guy with a heart full of love to give. Although he has some separation anxiety, Scout's friendly disposition and desire to be a loyal companion make him a wonderful addition to any family willing to give him the time and understanding he needs. Scout is looking for a forever home where he can finally experience the stability and love he deserves. If you're searching for a loving, playful, and loyal companion who will bring joy to your life, Scout is your guy. Adopt Scout City today and give him the forever home he's been dreaming of!

Meet Graham: The Adventure-Loving Smoocher! Introducing Graham, our five-year-old bundle of joy who has been patiently waiting for his forever home since 2019. Weighing in at 54 pounds, Graham is a heart full of love and a true companion who enjoys the company of both humans and dogs. Graham has excellent leash skills and is a joy to walk and explore with. He's potty trained, does well in his crate, and is always up for playtime with other dogs in the open area. One of his favorite activities is hiking, and he loves nothing more than embarking on an adventure and discovering new trails. An intelligent dog, Graham thrives with mental stimulation as well as physical exercise, making him a great fit for a home that enjoys engaging their furry friend with enrichment activities. Although Graham might be a little shy at first, once he gets to know you, he's all in. With big smiles and a gorgeous, affectionate personality, he'll eagerly roll over for belly rubs and shower you with love and loyalty. Graham is a smoochy dog who loves to snuggle and be close to his people. Graham has a particular fondness for his toys and treats and prefers not to share them-perhaps stemming from past experiences. With patient understanding and love, he will learn to trust and share more comfortably. For now, he enjoys his toys too much to part with them, adding to his charming quirks. Graham is looking for a forever home where he can be cherished and given the chance to thrive. If you're looking for an affectionate, adventurous, and intelligent companion who will bring endless joy and loyalty into your life, Graham is your dog.

At almost 4 years old and weighing 50 lbs, he's the perfect size for snuggling and going on adventures together! Renegade's zest for life is contagious! He absolutely loves going on exciting adventures, playing fetch, and chasing after that ball with all his heart. He's a big-hearted pup who adores treats and gets along great with other dogs. Renegade is always up for a fun playdate! Rescued from a not-so-great situation where he was tied to a tree, Renegade has shown us just how truly amazing he is.

Story
Sweet adorable, full of scruffy cuteness Arlo. This fellow comes from a hoarding situation and is adjusting well, but will need someone to help him continue to gain confidence and learn the routine. He loves his safe place and appreciates a routine. Another dog to help him would be good. He is sweet and quiet, good about going outside. Loves baths. All Dallas Dog adoptable pets are spayed or neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines upon finalizing adoption. Puppies adopted under the age of five months require a spay/neuter contract, and all dogs are required to be spayed by six months unless otherwise medically noted. Our dogs are currently on heartworm preventative. Puppies receive 3 to 4 rounds of vaccinations depending on their age, and adults receive two rounds unless they've been with us longer than a year, in which case they receive the booster update.

Story
Hi hoomans, it’s me, Sommer, your resident 6‑pound cuddle bug and part‑time chaos intern. Big news: I went outside for the very first time this week. Wow. So many smells. So many things to explore. So much room to run and play with the resident dogs. I am thoroughly intrigued by this thing called a hose and the wet stuff that comes out of it. Reminds me of my first week here with all of my spa days. Uncle Max has been teaching me how to watch squirrels like a serious dog. I stand next to him and stare at the fence, but honestly…I have no idea what we’re waiting for. He seems very passionate about it, though, so I pretend I understand. I’m feeling better, getting braver, but still like being held so I can shove my whole face into your neck like a baby koala. Foster life is pretty great. Love, Sommer 🐶✨ Sommer’s first few days here were a little “ruff” — poor girl had some tummy troubles and mostly wanted to snooze. But now that she’s feeling better, her puppy personality is bursting through. She’s playing with toys (Lamb Chop is the reigning favorite), wrestling with her brother Kayce, and treating foster mom’s walking boot like her own personal jungle gym. She loves being held, burying her face in your neck, and has become surprisingly accustomed to her frequent “spa days” thanks to those tummy issues. 😆 She loves when the big resident dogs come over to say hello, she gets up and runs over to give kisses 🥰 This little girl is a beauty and her name is Sommer. This is her story. A mama dog was pulled off the streets and safely delivered 9 puppies in foster care. They’ve been loved and cared for since birth… but then the original foster’s landlord found out, and the puppies had to be moved immediately. Dallas Dog - Rescue.Rehab.Reform brought them into the fold and they have been separated into smaller groups for fostering. They are: 🐾 Medium‑breed pups 🐾 Social, playful, and used to being together 🐾 At a critical age where consistency matters We are beginning to accept adoption applications so we can place them in stable homes as soon as they’re ready. Pairs are ideal, but single‑pup adopters committed to proper socialization are welcome too. If you’ve been thinking about adopting, now is the moment to step in for one of these babies. www.dallasdog.org
