Story
Teddy was one of three strays moving about in our neighborhood for a prolonged amount of time. A neighbor of my wife and I decided to help us capture them so they wouldn't be hit on the busy highway road running through town. The other two dogs were homed but we kept Teddy. We are a multi-dog household. For years this has not been an issue but recently Teddy and one of other dogs, Wesker, have been challenging and fixating on one another. They must now be kept separate at all times. Teddy and our others never have any issues and they regularly play and cohabitate with no issues. Teddy likes to be rather independent but still enjoys social time with his human and running with our other dogs. He definitely likes to relax but is always happy to accept attention from his owner! I think Teddy would benefit from having an owner that likes an independent dog that is content to take it easy most of the time but also occasionally wants to run, jump, and play :)

Story
DOB - Feb. 10, 2020 Reason for rehoming: My son (owner) moved to Africa. I cannot keep him due to my lease. If he cannot be rehomed, he will have to go to a shelter. The local Akita rescue is not accepting any new dogs. Alpha is a sweet and devoted American Akita looking for a forever home where he can thrive. He is incredibly loyal, affectionate, and naturally protective of his family—once he bonds with you, he is your shadow and your biggest fan. Alpha does have environmental allergies, so he’ll need an adopter who can continue his care and keep him comfortable. He cannot be boarded, so he needs a family who can provide in-home care or trusted at-home pet sitting when traveling. He loves being near his people, enjoys calm environments, and does best with someone who understands large guardian breeds. Alpha will make an amazing companion for the right person or family—someone who values loyalty, connection, and a dog who truly loves his humans.

Story
Ben was born in a high kill shelter on 2/3/2021. He was a day old when we brought him home along with his 10 siblings and his mother. All that remains is Ben and his mom Lily. They have been waiting patiently. But now it is thThis is Ben and he has been with Chloe’s Pet Rescue since he was a newborn. He is now going on three years old. We aren’t sure why he hasn’t found his “furever” home. He’s such a handsome guy. We believe he is an Akita/American Pit Bull mix. Ben is very friendly when meeting new people (after a few sniffs and he’s good to go) and is good with other dogs. In fact, if it looks like another dog wants to get into a tiff, he walks away. Ben is energetic and loves to go outdoors. He’s great walking on a leash, knows come here, stop, breakfast and dinner and is crate and house trained. One of his favorite things to play with is a ball. Something he does not like is rain and thunder. Don’t go out and buy a new bed for this guy because he will chew it up, just throw a blanket down and he is very content. Ben’s adoption fee is $25, which includes his full vetting.

Story
Shelby is a doll despite a hard life. She was probably dumped as she just showed up to a nice family’s house. They had no fencing and they did not care if she wandered so she didn’t stay. We intervened when she continued to roam. We are getting her healthy despite neglect. She was so matted we had to cut her coat with scissors and we’re not experts so she looks like a 6 yr old gave her a haircut. It just makes her even more adorable. She is so sweet and gentle and never met a stranger. This girl is a jewel in the rough. Can you make her shine ? She will reward you with more love and loyalty than you can imagine.. She has been in a foster home so she has been groomed, is living indoors and is a wonderful companion. She deserves a permanent home and is ready!If you would like to adopt this sweet furbaby, please complete our pre-qualification application at this link: https://bit.ly/2CCVFPV#AdoptDontShop #TBCAnimalRescue

Hi there, my name is Cherokee! I am a 3-year-old female Husky mix that weighs approx. 45lbs. My sister, Dakota, and I were surrendered to Rockwall Adoption Center when my previous family could no longer care for me.

My adoption fee is $125, I am already spayed, Rabies vaccinated, current on my DHLPP, microchipped and heartworm negative. If you think we might be the perfect match, please submit an adoption application at https://rockwalladoptions.com/adoptfoster/adoption-application/ .

Meet Penny &#194&#150 A Sweet, Gentle Girl with a Calm Personality Hi there! My name is Penny, and I'm a 1-year-old Shepherd/Husky mix weighing around 33 lbs. I came to Rockwall Adoption Center when my previous family had too many animals to care for, and now I'm looking for a loving home where I can continue to build confidence and settle into family life. I'm a very sweet, gentle girl who does well with other dogs and enjoys their company. With people, I'm calm and polite. You can walk right up to me and pet me, and I'll happily accept it&#194&#151I just don't jump up or get overly excited about attention. I'm more of a quiet, easygoing type who shows affection in soft, subtle ways rather than big, bouncy ones. I am 100% crate trained and find comfort in having my own cozy space. I'm still learning how to walk confidently on a leash and could use help building overall confidence, but I'm eager to learn and will do best with a family who offers encouragement and consistency. My adoption fee is $125. I am spayed, microchipped, current on my rabies and core vaccines, and heartworm negative. If you're looking for a gentle, well-mannered companion who will quietly become a loyal part of your life, Penny could be the perfect match. Apply to meet Penny here: https://rockwalladoptions.com/adoptfoster/adoption-application/ Once approved, RAC staff will reach out to coordinate a meet and greet.
