Story
Meet Kelsey — a 1-year-old Shih Tzu/Chihuahua mix with a scruffy little face, long skinny legs, and a heart full of love. She’s truly “all legs,” giving her the cutest, most unique look. Kelsey is a sweet, affectionate girl who loves to cuddle and be close to her person. She lights up when she sees you and can be a little talker when she’s excited — not loud at all, but with the most adorable, quiet howl that makes everyone smile. It’s just one more thing that adds to her charm. She gets along beautifully with other dogs, cats, and children, making her an easy addition. Kelsey is crate trained, rides wonderfully in the car, and is exceptionally well behaved for baths and nail trims. Her gentle, loving nature and easy manners make her a joy to have around. If you’re looking for a unique, affectionate companion who wants nothing more than to be by your side, Kelsey may be the perfect match for you.

He loves his toys, enjoys a good game of chase in the yard, and never turns down a tasty treat. And with his big paws and soft, fluffy coat, he looks just like a little teddy bear come to life. But what truly makes Cooper special is his personality—his funny expressions and goofy antics keep his foster family laughing every single day.

Story
Meet Noelle – All Heart, All Eyes, All Love Meet Noelle, a sweet Shih-Tzu mix momma dog, about 3 years old, with the kind of big, soulful eyes that melt hearts instantly. One look from Noelle and you’ll feel it—this girl was made to love. Noelle was found living in a field with her two puppies and made the long journey from Laredo, Texas with her tail wagging and her heart wide open, ready for a fresh start. She’s been a wonderful mom, and now it’s her turn to live her very best life. She’s housebroken, has a healthy appetite, and plays nicely with other dogs. Within just a day of arriving at her foster home, Noelle confidently claimed her favorite spots on the couch and in the car—she loves car rides just as much as she loves curling up in your lap for pets and kisses. Noelle is friendly with kids and other dogs she meets on neighborhood walks and is currently working on her leash manners. She has a beautiful, soft coat, an easy-going personality, and a soft spot for tasty treats. Gentle, affectionate, and endlessly loving, Noelle will be a wonderful addition to just about any family lucky enough to call her their own. ##2611248##

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.
