Story
Clifford, a handsome BIG RED DOG, is a Redbone Coonhound mix. His good looks turns heads!! He's about 2 years old and weighs 70 pounds. He is neutered, utd on vaccinations, HW negative, on preventatives and microchipped! Clifford is a little shy when meeting new people but once he learns to trust he will be your best friend! He was a dumped stray so we don't know anything about his past.. We do know that if his forever family has the patience to help him conquer his shyness, he will reward them with his true goofy personality that loves to play, get treats and scratches behind his ears. Clifford would be fine as your only dog or would benefit from having a confident dog his size or bigger to play with. Sturdy, older children would be great too! A home without cats is recommended. Clifford is house and crate trained too! A fenced yard (appropriate for his size) and vet a reference are required. We adopt in the DFW area only (within 1 hour's drive from Terrell) as we deliver our dogs to their new homes.

Story
Violet is a love bug to her people but cautious of others until trust is built. She takes her role as her family's protector very seriously. She is thought to be a German Shepherd and Golden Retriever mix. She was born July 25, 2023, weighs 53 pounds, is fully vaccinated, spayed, microchipped, HW negative and on preventative. She sleeps all night in her crate and is house trained.  Due to Violet's rough start in life she will need a family with patience, allowing her to bond in her own time by giving her love, positive reinforcement and remembering that it's a journey not a race.. Once she gains your trust she's likely to cuddle like a baby with her people, play with her chew toys and will love going on walks. Her ideal home is one where the mom or dad work from home or part time and has a doggie friend to play with. She does okay with respectful cats, but does try to herd anything that moves faster than a walk whether it is other dogs, cats or humans both young and old. She sees any type of fowl as a chew toy so we reccomend a home without pet birds or chickens. A fenced yard and vet reference are required. We adopt in the DFW area only (within a 1 hour's drive from Terrell) as we deliver our pets to their new homes.

Dahlia

German Shepherd Dog Labrador Retriever

Female, 4 mos
Terrell, TX
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained,
Story
Sweet Dahlia is 4 months old and a typical happy and playful puppy. She currently weighs 25 pounds and is expected to be a medium/large dog in size. Best guess is Shepherd and maybe some Lab based on the size of her feet. She is almost fully vaccinated and will be spayed and microchipped when six months old. These costs are included in her adoption fee if performed at our vet in Terrell. Please remember that puppies require time, patience, positive reinforcements, training and lots of love! Dahlia is working on crate and house training, so a parent that works from home would be ideal. Important note: For safety reasons, we do not adopt unvaccinated puppies into apartments or condos due to the high risk of parvo. We adopt in the DFW area only (within an hour's drive from Terrell) as we deliver our pets to their new homes. A vet reference and fenced yard are required. terrellanimalalliance.org/application

Story
This happy girl is a Great Pyrenees/Collie mix (best guess), about 2 years old and weighs 71 pounds. She is spayed, vaccinated, HW negative and on preventatives. Sandy gets along great with the children and small dog in her foster home. But honestly, she seems to love everyone and based on her breed, she will do well in any family environment. We don't know about cats though. She's house trained and working on crate training. terrellanimalalliance.org/application

Story
I have these babies available to be adopted. I have a foster that had puppies. These babies will be 6 mos on Nov. 5th. They were born on May 5, 2025. The only shots they need is their rabies (last round) shot. They are too young to be spayed and neutered right now. I actually have 4 males available. Mommy Dog is available too. She has a post on here too. They are pad trained but they love to go outside, but they do sleep inside. I currently have my own pups that equal 4, so my house is overran at this point! Looking for loving homes for these babies!

Story
Momma Dog came to me as a rescue found on my rural road with her son (Baby Dog). I gave her that name due to letting a new family actually name her. She has been spayed and it up to date on all shots. She is very independent. She likes her space. I think she would do good in a home with maybe one other dog as a companion. It took her a little to trust me, but I have 5 of my own dogs so I think it was too much at one time. She does sleep inside. She loves to cuddle and love on everyone when she wants to. Loves to pet all day if you can... I looking for a loving family for her and likes to be active but also just relaxed and calm with her.
