Story
Langston is a 8 month-old Pomsky with a gorgeous tan, white, and black husky-patterned coat. He is expected to stay on the smaller side (currently around 12 lbs), making him a great fit for someone looking for a compact but energetic companion. Pomskies are known for being intelligent, playful, and full of personality. Langston definitely lives up to that. He will thrive in a home that can provide consistent training, structure, and daily activity. Due to our family’s busy schedule with school and work, we’re unable to give him the time and attention his breed needs. Because of this, we are looking for a loving, active, and responsible home that understands high-energy breeds. We care deeply about him and want to ensure he goes to the best possible home!

Story
Meet Miss Josey Joe - The Ultimate Cat-Loving Canine with a Heart of Gold Say hello to Josey, a beautiful 2-year-old Shepherd/Akita mix weighing about 57 lbs, with the cutest ears and the softest soul. She was found near Windjammer Lane at the Harbor in Rockwall and is now living in a wonderful foster home while she waits for her forever family to find her. Josey is a gentle, sweet girl who may be a little shy at first, but once she feels safe, her loving personality shines. She is house trained, crate trained, and an absolute superstar with other animals. Dogs? Loves them. Cats? Total fan. She's the kind of pup who truly enjoys the company of furry friends and would be happiest in a home with at least one canine buddy to help her feel confident and settled. Because of her calm and sensitive nature, Josey would do best in a quieter home with children ages 6 and up who can respect her gentle personality. She's the type of dog who will quietly follow you around, curl up nearby, and offer steady companionship rather than wild antics. Josey is spayed, microchipped, up to date on her rabies and booster vaccinations, and heartworm negative. Her adoption fee covers all of her medical care and, of course, comes with a lifetime supply of loyalty, sweetness, and soft tail wags. If you're looking for a dog who is as wonderful with cats as she is with dogs, and who will blossom into a devoted family member, Miss Josey Joe might be your perfect match. Apply to adopt Josey here: https://rockwalladoptions.com/adoptfoster/adoption-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. March 7, 2026, 12:29 pm

Story
Amos got to us after he had to go from the animal shelter to the vet clinic for an amputation. We don’t know why his front left leg was so damaged. We do know that the night of his surgery he managed to rip out all of his stitches and laid his head on the vet tech’s shoulder while getting wrapped for repair surgery the next morning.He is not quite a typical Husky as he’s very laid back. He doesn’t use his voice near as often as most Huskies although he does have a little growl in his conversational voice which isn’t nearly as off-putting as it might sound.Amos has great house manners, does fine on a leash, and would be a perfect go-everywhere boy for his family. He adores his humans and is very loving and outgoing. He is a social boy and meeting new people and animals is easy for him. He’s fine with cats and seems to ignore the livestock kids at his foster home.He is very engaged with his humans and loves to be as close when he doesn’t want to spend time watching the world go by from his perch on the porch. He will often ask to sleep outside but is willing to do what his human feels is best.Amos is fully vetted, neutered, microchipped, and current with flea/tick and heartworm prevention.

We're looking for a special new family who will love Polar as much as his owner did. He is 75% Pomeranian and 25% Husky.  Polar was born 5/14/2019 and weighs 11 lbs. He is house and crate trained and knows basic commands. Polar loves going for walks and expects his forever home to have a plethora of tennis balls to play fetch!  He likes being with his people, but he's not super-clingy.  He does great with respectful kids and other dogs.  He would be fine with cats.   He's neutered, microchipped, current on vaccines and heartworm negative. His adoption fee is $275.   Adoption Application - Legacy Humane SocietyWe do not have a facility to house the dogs in our program. They are all kept in foster homes until they are adopted.

Story
We adopted Dune from the Allen Animal Shelter and immediately fell in love with him! We belief he is a lab/husky mix and is about 1.5 years old. He is so goofy, loves to run, and is a big cuddle bug. He is house trained and learns new tricks very quickly. He knows how to wait before he eats, sit, walk on a leash, and leave it. He is super smart and easily trainable. He is great with other dogs and loves kids! He just cannot be in a home with cats. He is very prey driven, especially on walks when he sees a squirrel! We are so sad to have to rehome Dune, he is such an amazing dog! We unfortunately just cannot make it work with our cats.
