Story
Keke is a very special girl. She will do well in a home with a medium sized family or one single peson that does not mind her clingyness. She is not house-trained so she will need to either be trained or be taken outside at LEAST twice a day. For this reason, I highly recommend someone who is active or outdoorsy. Our walks can range from 5 minutes to an hour. She doesn't really like the rain when the grass is wet however if she has to go she will. When I first got Keke from the shelter, I was lucky in the sense that she could eat almost anything; however, nowadays she is a little more picky, especially if she smells or sees a better option. I homemake her own food using pasta noodles, ground turkey, chicken hearts, veggies, and supplements; however, she also really enjoys the Just Food for Dogs BOXED food. She will eat dry food as a LAST resource and doesn't really like any of the store brand wet foods (to my knowledge). Would be great with a family/person with one other SMALL dog.

Story
Meet Kodi — proof that age is just a number. At 12 years old and just 6.5 pounds, Kodi is the kind of loyal, low-maintenance companion dreams are made of. He’s house-trained (even in the rain!), sleeps quietly through the night in his crate, and quickly mastered the doggie door like the smart little guy he is. Kodi loves nothing more than being near you—happily curled up at your side or trotting along on a walk, just glad to be included. He is gentle, calm, and full of life, with so much love left to give. He eats only canned food due to his lack of teeth and his age. Kodi didn’t deserve to be surrendered to a shelter by his owner but now he’s ready to be someone’s whole world. Maybe yours? We are a RESCUE GROUP, not a shelter, and all of our animals are in foster homes. To start the adoption process, email us at adoptions@earstexas.org requesting an application. Submitting an application does not commit you in any way, but helps us make the best match between people and our available dogs. Your current or past dogs must be inside dogs who have been spayed/neutered and are on heartworm prevention. All of the dogs in our program are inside dogs and are completely vetted including all vaccinations, spayed/neutered, free of internal parasites, microchipped, heartworm negative and on prevention before adoption. Our adoption process includes an application, check of vet records or personal references, interview, neutral site meet & greet with the dog and your family, and a home visit.

Meet Miso, the 10-month-old Maltese puppy who is pure love wrapped in five pounds of fluff! This little sweetheart is the definition of joy — her favorite place in the world is snuggled up right next to her human. Whether you’re watching TV, working from home, or just relaxing, Miso will happily curl up beside you and make every moment brighter. But don’t let her tiny size fool you — Miso also loves to play with other pups! She’s a social butterfly who enjoys romping around with dogs big or small, then curling up for a nap once playtime’s over. She’s great with cats and gentle children too, making her the perfect little addition to a loving family. If you’re ready for a life filled with snuggles, happy zoomies, and endless sweetness, Miso is ready to be the very best part of your day — every day.   Located in Northern Texas — available for out-of-state adoption (transport fee applies) Adoption Application: https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/13108/generic Amazon Wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/14C2FGVGHQCWR?ref_=wl_share ##2455156##

Story
Hello, my name is Heathcliff! I am a 3-year-old Maltese/Havanese mix weighing around 9 pounds, and I am looking for a family to call my own. I may be small, but I have a big personality and plenty of energy to keep life fun and exciting. I am a friendly, playful boy who loves toys and enjoys spending time with other dogs that are similar in size, age, and energy level. I am still learning about the world around me and will need a family that understands the time, patience, and commitment required to help a young dog continue to mature into a well-mannered companion. I am crate trained and working on my house training, but I will need consistency and positive reinforcement as I continue to learn. I enjoy playing, exploring, and staying active, so a securely fenced yard is important for my safety. I am also quite curious and have been known to be an escape artist, so my family will need to be careful when opening doors and gates. I can be vocal when I am playing or left alone, so I would likely do best in a home rather than an apartment setting. Because of my breed mix, I will also require regular grooming throughout my life to keep my coat healthy and looking its best. I am neutered, microchipped, current on my rabies vaccination and annual vaccines, and heartworm negative. My adoption fee is $125. An approved online adoption application is required prior to all meet and greets and adoptions. If you are interested in making me a member of your family, please complete an application at: https://rockwalladoptions.com/adoptfoster/adoption-application/ Once your application has been reviewed, Rockwall Adoption Center staff will contact you regarding the next steps in the adoption process. I look forward to meeting my forever family!  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. June 13, 2026, 3:59 pm
