Story
Diesel the Gentle Giant - The Story of a Big Baby With a Bigger Heart Not all heroes wear capesâ&#194&#128&#194&#148some come barreling through life like a tank, muscles rippling, eyes wide, heart huge. Meet Diesel, the American Staffordshire Terrier whose story began with fear, misunderstanding, and a call to the policeâ&#194&#128&#194&#148but transformed into one of love, redemption, and second chances. Diesel's journey started in Dallas, where a call came in to local police about a 'big aggressive dog' roaming the streets. When officers arrived, they didnâ&#194&#128&#194&#153t find a monsterâ&#194&#128&#194&#148they found Diesel. A tank of a dog, yesâ&#194&#128&#194&#148massive, alert, and built like a linebacker. But behind that intimidating frame was a soul desperate not for a fight, but for a family. That first impression didnâ&#194&#128&#194&#153t tell the whole story. Because Diesel wasnâ&#194&#128&#194&#153t aggressiveâ&#194&#128&#194&#148he was scared. Alone. Misjudged. But someone took a chance on him. And that chance revealed the truth: Diesel wasnâ&#194&#128&#194&#153t dangerousâ&#194&#128&#194&#148he was a big baby. From that day forward, Diesel blossomed into the gentle giant he was always meant to be. With each passing day, he shed the stigma of his breed and background, replacing it with goofy grins, wiggly butt greetings, and endless cuddles. The dog who once drew police calls now draws smiles, head pats, and the occasional â&#194&#128&#194&#156Whoaâ&#194&#128&#194&#148heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s huge!â&#194&#128&#194&#157 followed quickly by â&#194&#128&#194&#156Heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s so sweet!â&#194&#128&#194&#157 Diesel has a heart as big as his paws. He loves deeply, snores proudly, and will absolutely try to fit in your lapâ&#194&#128&#194&#148even if it takes some rearranging. His loyalty is unmatched, his playfulness contagious, and his gentleness downright disarming. He is a protector, a clown, a cuddler, and a survivor. But most of all, Diesel is loveâ&#194&#128&#194&#148proof that sometimes, the roughest starts lead to the most beautiful stories. And while he may have come into the world like a tank, Dieselâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s true power lies not in his sizeâ&#194&#128&#194&#148but in his soul. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * If you have a specific question about Diesel III, then please email newdigs@dallaspetsalive.org.

Story
Hi! My name is Turtle, and I am 4.5-years-old and around 50 pounds. I have two canine roommates who I love. We play keep-away and tug-of-war (I let them win because I am a gentleman not because they are stronger and faster than me.) I also have a lot of tiny human nieces, nephews and cousins who I enjoy keeping entertained. I love walks, catching bubbles, and going to the dog park to meet new friends. I get excited and pull on the leash sometimes so I have to be reminded to slow down. I may love snuggling with you on the couch or in bed even more though. I especially like to get under the blanketâ&#194&#128¦ sometimes I will play with your feet to make you laugh before I fall asleep. I really love baths!! I wish I could get them everyday. I thrive on a schedule and regular training. It makes me more calm to know whatâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s expected of me. I really love my kennel, too. Sometimes when I want alone time I will just go in there and take a nap and come back out to socialize when I am ready. I follow basic commands like sit, wait, lay down, place, leave it and OK. The vet is a little scary so I need some extra time and my human to be there for a little bit so I can feel better, but the doctor always says I did a great job when I get to go home! I am neutered, microchipped, and up to date on my vaccines! Unfortunately, my owner is unable to keep me because of allergies, but I hope I can find my forever home soon.

Story
Tank is a 7-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier with the heart of a teddy bear and the size of a small horse. Though his powerful frame and deep bark might turn heads, anyone lucky enough to know him quickly learns that Tank is all sugar and no spice. His journey into a loving home began in an unexpected place â&#194&#128&#194&#148 a call from the Dallas Police Department. Labeled â&#194&#128&#194&#156aggressiveâ&#194&#128&#194&#157 by those who didnâ&#194&#128&#194&#153t understand him, Tankâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s fate was uncertain. But one look into his soulful eyes revealed the truth: he wasnâ&#194&#128&#194&#153t dangerous, just misunderstood. Fortunately, someone with compassion and intuition saw past the stereotypes and brought him home â&#194&#128&#194&#148 and thatâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s where Tankâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s real story began. Energetic and playful, Tank lives for long walks, joyful leaps, and noisy toys that squeak, squawk, or crunch. He has an endless love for playtime, though his coordination isn't always as graceful as his heart is big. One of his most infamous moments? The Great Squirrel Chase â&#194&#128&#194&#148 a wild backyard sprint that ended not in victory, but in the squirrel outrunning him with comedic ease. Tank may have lost the race, but he gained a story that still brings laughter. Despite his tough exterior, Tank is a certified softie â&#194&#128&#194&#148 a big crybaby at times who isnâ&#194&#128&#194&#153t shy about letting you know when he wants attention, cuddles, or snacks (especially snacks). He thrives on love and affection, and he gives it back tenfold. Tank is a daily reminder that appearances can be deceiving and that love, loyalty, and a little bit of silliness can turn any 'aggressive' label into a legend of joy. Heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s not just a pet â&#194&#128&#194&#148 heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s family. A gentle soul with a goofy streak, Tank has brought light, laughter, and an endless supply of tail wags to everyone lucky enough to know him. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * If you have a specific question about Tank, then please email newdigs@dallaspetsalive.org.

Story
Meet Finnan! ð&#194&#159&#194&#144¾ Finnan is a 6â&#194&#128&#194&#1477 year old, 66-pound pit mix with the most soulful eyes and a heart full of love. He was rescued and adopted in 2021, and everyone whoâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s ever met him has fallen in love with him. Finnan is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped. His favorite thing in the world is curling up on the couch with his people, where he transforms into a big lap dog who will happily soak up every bit of affection. He even has an adorable way of asking for pets â&#194&#128&#194&#148 by gently nudging your hand with his nose until you give in! Finnan has a moderate energy level â&#194&#128&#194&#148 he enjoys a good daily walk and some playtime, but heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s just as content to lounge the rest of the day if thatâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s what his family is doing. He gets along well with female dogs but cannot live with another male dog. Because he can be protective and doesnâ&#194&#128&#194&#153t like being crowded, Finnan is not suited for a home with young children. He would thrive in a calm, structured household where he can be close to his people and know heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s safe and loved. This smart boy is house-trained, crate-trained, walks nicely on a leash, and knows his basic commands. Heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s eager to please, very affectionate, and loves being part of family life. His ideal home would be with adults or a family with older teens, and possibly a mellow female dog companion. We are seeking a new home for Finnan because with two very young children in our household, we canâ&#194&#128&#194&#153t provide the safe and consistent environment he needs to thrive. Finnan is truly a loyal, cuddly, and loving companion who will make a wonderful best friend in the right home. ð&#194&#159&#194&#146&#194&#153 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * If you have a specific question about Finnan, then please email newdigs@dallaspetsalive.org.

Story
Meet Finnan! ð&#194&#159&#194&#144¾ Finnan is a 6â&#194&#128&#194&#1477 year old, 66-pound pit mix with the most soulful eyes and a heart full of love. He was rescued and adopted in 2021, and everyone whoâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s ever met him has fallen in love with him. Finnan is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped. His favorite thing in the world is curling up on the couch with his people, where he transforms into a big lap dog who will happily soak up every bit of affection. He even has an adorable way of asking for pets â&#194&#128&#194&#148 by gently nudging your hand with his nose until you give in! Finnan has a moderate energy level â&#194&#128&#194&#148 he enjoys a good daily walk and some playtime, but heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s just as content to lounge the rest of the day if thatâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s what his family is doing. He gets along well with female dogs but cannot live with another male dog. Because he can be protective and doesnâ&#194&#128&#194&#153t like being crowded, Finnan is not suited for a home with young children. He would thrive in a calm, structured household where he can be close to his people and know heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s safe and loved. This smart boy is house-trained, crate-trained, walks nicely on a leash, and knows his basic commands. Heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s eager to please, very affectionate, and loves being part of family life. His ideal home would be with adults or a family with older teens, and possibly a mellow female dog companion. We are seeking a new home for Finnan because with two very young children in our household, we canâ&#194&#128&#194&#153t provide the safe and consistent environment he needs to thrive. Finnan is truly a loyal, cuddly, and loving companion who will make a wonderful best friend in the right home. ð&#194&#159&#194&#146&#194&#153 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * If you have a specific question about Finnan, then please email newdigs@dallaspetsalive.org.

Story
Kona is a 7 year old pitty boxer mix with a sweet little crooked piggy tail! She is about 40 pounds of cuddly love. She was adopted as a young pup from a shelter in Sunnyvale, TX, where she had some injuries to her tail and back leg. Thankfully, both are all healed up now, but they still have a unique look! She is up to date on all vaccines and is microchipped. Konaâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s energy level fluctuates between zoomies in the backyard and passed out on the couch, and not much in between! Her biggest excitement comes from seeing the people she loves, but her favorite place is on the couch with some comfy blankets, where she would spend most of the day if she could. Add a chew toy, and she would be in heaven! She likes other dogs after a warming up period and has been living happily with another dog. She adores her humans too, but she might need a little time to get over her shyness. She would be happiest in a home without cats or small children. While she would love to have an owner who works from home to keep her company while she naps on the couch all day, she is crate trained and is currently sleeping in her crate at night (though she would love to take up space on someoneâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s bed!). She loves end of day snuggles laying between your legs on a blanket and watching tv. She is food motivated and knows the word â&#194&#128&#194&#156sitâ&#194&#128&#194&#157 as well as her name. Kona is quite a homebody and not the biggest fan of walks, but if it means making you happy, she will go! She is being rehomed through no fault of her own. Kona has become very stressed in a home with a baby, and would prefer to be the baby of the house herself. While she has some mild seasonal allergies, her chronic stress has taken a toll on her skin â&#194&#128&#194&#148 and while she acclimates to a more calm environment, she may need some special skincare! This sweet, goofy girl has so much love to give and deserves a home where she can relax and curl up on the couch in peace! If you think she would be a good fit in your home, apply to adopt Kona today! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * If you have a specific question about Kona, then please email newdigs@dallaspetsalive.org.

Story
Meet Sharae Jo aka Dora the explorer. She is 9 months, weighing 28 lbs., boxer mix with a vibrant fawn coat. Sharae was rescued under a church with her five siblings and her mother at just a few weeks old. Sharae is a very energetic, loving and a very independent pup who loves to explore all of her surroundings. Sharae is very shy with other dogs, but warms up once getting to know them. She has not been around cats. She currently resides with her mom, two siblings and a Lab. Sharae loves water especially playing in her puppy pool. She is one smart pup! She loves a good car ride and loves the outdoors. An ideal home for Sharae would be one that is safe and comfortable where she will receive plenty of love, affection and training. Because she is a pup, would love to put her in an environment with a family that has children, if possible.l, but not required. Sharae is partially crate trained with no issues sleeping or playing in one. However, she does not potty inside, as she will bark to inform you when she needs to go. Sharae will need continued training on a leash and basic commands. Sharae has received the following vaccinations: Rabies, Bordetella, DHPP. She is microchipped and will be spayed on 06/17/2025. Reason for rehoming: Sharae is currently under temporary care by her rescue family who are unable to keep her permanently. This happy-go-lucky pup is deserving of the perfect furever home.
