WE ARE CURRENTLY REVIEWING ALL APPLICANTS. WE WILL REACH OUT TO YOU SOON!Henry is a great loving family dog. We're sad that we have to rehome him. He loves kids, gets along great with cats and other dogs. He is a mixed breed and we're unsure what the secondary breed is. He was 6 weeks old when we got him. He loves to cuddle and prefers to be close to his owners. (He is literally a lap dog and loves to be where you are) We are a work from home family so we would prefer his adopters to be a family that has time to spend with him and keep him active rather than just keep him kenneled. It's unfortunate that we have to rehome him but due to my grandaughter having severe allergies (that we just recently discovered) we have no choice. He is house trained and up to date on shots. He turned 1 in March. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to meet him. Thank you for viewing his profile.

Story
Meet Leo — the spitfire you didn’t know you needed in your life. Around here, we sometimes call him “The Sheriff.” Leo likes to keep an eye on everything that’s going on and prefers things to be orderly, but he’s never pushy or aggressive. He’s simply a confident little guy who likes to know what’s happening and be part of the action. Leo is curious, brave, and always ready for his next adventure. Whether he’s exploring the yard, accompanying you on a walk, or supervising household activities, he approaches life with enthusiasm and confidence. He’s friendly with everyone he meets and carries himself like he owns the place—in the most charming way possible. Despite his adventurous spirit, Leo knows how to relax when the day is done. After his shift as Sheriff, his favorite place is curled up next to his person, soaking up affection and enjoying a well-earned cuddle. Leo also has excellent house manners. He’s house trained, walks beautifully on a leash, and is friendly and well-behaved in public. He’s the kind of dog who can join you on an outing and then happily settle in at home afterward. If you’re looking for a loyal sidekick with a big personality, a sense of adventure, and a soft spot for snuggles, Leo may just be your perfect match. ❤️ If you’re ready for a meet and greet, kick off the process with an application at www.flyingbrescue.org/adopt. Our application is thorough but there are no right or wrong answers - we just want to make sure you and the pet are the perfect match. Once we receive your application, we will schedule a phone interview. Our adoptions include a 2-week trial period with fully refundable adoption fees during that period. If you are located outside of Texas, we offer transportation services and have happy families as references. We value transparency, so don’t be afraid to ask us anything.

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.
