Story
Meet Chevy! Chevy is the most handsome 8 year old pup you will ever lay your eyes on! And he’s got the brains and personality to match! Which to be honest doesn’t always happen haha. He was surrendered by his family to the shelter with his brother. His brother was adopted but Chevy found himself left behind and set to be euthanized for space. When we saw he only had a few hours left we busted him out and I’m so glad we did. Chevy is going to make a family so incredibly happy one day. He is truly a unicorn dog. Going through our temperament evaluation there’s typically a few little things that come up…. Not with Chevy though. Every test we through his way he passed with flying colors. Truthfully it’s almost been a bit boring but he is certainly 100% good boy certified! -Good With Other Dogs. Has an “all out” play style. -Very Sweet and submissive with people. -House/Crate Trained -Leash/Obedience Work We Are Currently Working On. Definitely Had No Work Prior. -Demands belly rubs and he’s cute enough to where you will cave in and give them. -Lower drive GS -High Energy and social would be a great adventure buddy We do not ships dog out of state. All adopters must travel to Dallas to meet their potential animal in person before moving forward with an adoption trial run.

Story
Hi! I'm Archie! I'm an approximately 5 year old, male, German Shepherd mix. I was found off Ridge Road near Goodwill on 11/05/2025 with a friend but sadly never reclaimed. I cannot WAIT to start the next chapter of my life in a loving home. I am a shy guy but love to be loved. I enjoy the company of my humans and appear to get along well with female dogs. I have not yet met kids or cats so that would be a new adventure for me. If you have another dog in the home, a meet and greet is encouraged to make sure we get along! I appear to be house and crate trained, though patience and keeping me on a schedule are necessary to make sure I adapt well to my new home. My adoption fee is $125. I am neutered, microchipped, and current on core annual boosters. I did test heartworm positive, but treatment is covered thanks to Rockwall PAWS! If you are interested in making me the newest member of your family, please visit https://rockwalladoptions.com/adoptfoster/adoption-application/ to fill out an application and RAC staff will be in touch with next steps!  All animals, unless otherwise noted in their description, are at 1825 Airport Rd. in Rockwall, TX.

Hi! My name is Yoshi! I am a 5 year old male German Shepherd who was recently surrendered to the shelter due to my owner no longer being able to care for me. I am a sweet boy who was raised around children, farm life and even made friends with an outdoor cat or two. It is possible for me to get along with other dogs but a meet and greet would need to take place in order for us to see how we get along before adoption. My adoption fee is $125. I am neutered, microchipped, and current on my basic core boosters(including rabies). I did test positive for heartworms but don't worry, thanks to Rockwall PAWS, I will be able to receive treatment at little to no cost to my adopter. If you have questions about heartworms or my treatment protocol, please feel free to ask RAC staff. They are happy to go over all the info with you.
