Story
Ziggy was rescued into RHS on 2/22/25.  He is approximately 8 years old and weighed 15 lbs.  He was severly matted and was in need of help.  He received medical care and was shaved down at the same time.  He lost almost a pound of matted hair and dirt.  You can tell he came from an extended neglectful situations.  He has come so far in the last few weeks and he is a different little man.  He is working on going potty outside and is doing an exceptionally good job.  He walks on leash with some hesitation but improves gradually.  Car rides are good for him.  He likes his crate where he takes his afternoon naps often.  He has no issues with the 2 female dogs at the foster home.  He didn't hesitate to get a scratch from a young boy.   Overall, Ziggy is a quiet boy but gets excited whenever he was given a treat.  He is a great lap dog.  He needs someone who is patient because he is missing an eye and is partially blind in the other.  It won't slow him down at all once he learns your home and routines.  He is a wonderful dog with lots of love to give.   Here's how to meet Ziggy: Meet the Adoption Criteria. Before you do anything else, make sure you meet our adoption criteria. You must be at least 21 years old. You must live within a 60-mile radius of Richardson, Texas.

Story
Meet June! She is an approximately 4 year old, female, Shih Tzu mix. She was found on 06/21/2025 behind the Costco in Rockwall and never reclaimed. She prefers to keep her circle small and is not the cuddly, outgoing type. June would do best in a quiet, adult-only home with someone who respects her space and understands her boundaries. She is looking for an adopter who can give her the time and patience she needs to feel secure. June's adoption fee is $125 and that includes her spay, microchip, rabies vaccination, basic boosters, and heartworm test. If you are interested in making June a member of your home, please visit https://rockwalladoptions.com/adoptfoster/adoption-application/ to fill out an application.  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 27, 2025, 5:23 pm

Story
My sister and brother-in-law had her for about 5 years. They needed to rehome her so I took her. I've had her for about 1.5 yrs. I Now I would like to rehome her bc I don't know how to control her. She is really a loving dog most of the time and wants to be the center of attention. However, I believe she has some anxiety and doesn't know how to relate. She wants to be petted a lot but will snap at people in the middle of them petting her. She is very jumpy and gets surprised by a blade of grass moving in the yard. I want to go visit family but don't want to take her and don't have the financial means to board her. I believe she would do very well with an older couple or single person with little activity going on.
