Story
Meet Kade!Kade is an adorable 6 year old little pig pen of a guy. He likes being scruffy and left to his own grooming habits. He enjoys morning out by the pool alone and with other pups. His favorite time is feeding time when he bounces around exclaiming he is starving. He’s not a fan of thunder and will ask to be comforted then which in all honesty is one of the few times he allows human contact. He just needs love.To set up a meet and greet or inquire about a dog, please first fill out an application at https://savinghoperescue.org/adopt It doesn`t obligate you, but it is the first step. We don`t get to all of the inquiries but respond to all applications. Thank you for choosing to rescue!

Story
Meet Coco! Coco is an 8-year-old sweetheart with a big personality and an even bigger love for her people. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion who wants to be right by your side, Coco is your girl. This adorable Shih Tzu mix is a certified professional cuddler. She loves being in your lap, next to you on the couch, or following you around the house. Wherever you go, Coco wants to be there too. She also loves car rides, so she’d make the perfect little co-pilot for your daily adventures. Coco has a great balance of energy. She enjoys her daily walks, playtime with toys, and interacting with other dogs, especially small to medium-sized friends. After she’s had her fun, she’s more than happy to settle in for some quality cuddle time. She is leash trained, crate trained, and has experience using both potty pads and going outside. With a consistent routine, she will continue to thrive and settle into her new home. Coco is great with kids and absolutely loves people. She’s playful, vocal, and full of personality, and she isn’t shy about letting you know when she wants attention (which is often!). All Dallas Pets Alive adoptable pets are spayed or neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines upon adoption. The standard minimum donation for dogs over six months to seven years is $200, puppies under six months is $250, dogs eight years and over are $100 unless specified otherwise.

Story
Meet Teddy ð&#194&#159&#194&#144¾ Teddy is an 11-year-old Shih Tzu and Poodle mix (often called a â&#194&#128&#194&#156Shih-Pooâ&#194&#128&#194&#157) weighing about 20 pounds â&#194&#128&#194&#148 the perfect medium-small size for cuddles on the couch and leisurely strolls around the neighborhood. Donâ&#194&#128&#194&#153t let his age fool you â&#194&#128&#194&#148 this charming gentleman is still wonderfully active and enjoys his daily walks just as much as he loves soaking up attention from his favorite humans. Teddyâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s favorite spot in the house? A comfy place on the couch where he can gaze out the window, keeping an eye on the world. He may have a protective bark, but itâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s all talk â&#194&#128&#194&#148 heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s completely harmless and just likes to make sure everyone knows heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s on duty. Heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s wonderful with children and has a gentle, loving nature. The only thing he asks is that his face not be touched â&#194&#128&#194&#148 he prefers pets and scratches everywhere else. Teddy would do best as the only dog in the home, as heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s not great with other dogs and prefers having his people all to himself. Teddy is fully potty trained and will politely let you know when he needs to go outside. Heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s also crate trained and can comfortably relax there for hours at a time. He is up to date on all vaccinations and has no health concerns, making him a happy and healthy companion ready for his next chapter. While Teddy absolutely loves affection and companionship, heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s also perfectly content spending some quiet time on his own. He would thrive in a home where he can get the love and attention he deserves while still enjoying his independence. If youâ&#194&#128&#194&#153re looking for a loyal, loving 20-pound bundle of affection with the perfect balance of playful energy and cozy couch vibes, Teddy might just be your perfect match. ð&#194&#159&#194&#144¶ð&#194&#159&#194&#146&#194&#155 This pet is participating in the Dallas Pets Alive rehoming program.
