Story
Born June 20, 2023, this 65-lb beauty is the total package: affectionate, intelligent, and wonderfully well-mannered. Koko is house-trained, calm, and polite- she’ll even wait patiently for permission before eating, hopping on the couch, or entering a room. Koko already knows her commands- sit, paw, stay, kiss, and go to the cage- and she’s eager to please. She walks beautifully on a leash without pulling, rides quietly in the car, and has the perfect balance of playful energy and cuddle-ready calm. While she enjoys having another calm dog around, she’d also be happy as the star of the show in her forever home. A yard where she can run and play would be ideal, and most of all, she wants to be with her people as much as possible. Koko’s previous family realized they couldn’t give her the time and attention she deserves, but this sweet girl is ready to fill a new home with joy, loyalty, and love. Good with kids, with a slow and purposeful introduction. House-trained Spayed, vaccinated, healthy  ##2008745##

Story
“S’mores is the BEST snuggler I’ve ever had. If someone wants a friend for their dog and a couch potato with people—she is it!” (says her foster, see pic!) Meet S’mores, a gentle soul with a heart of gold. This sweet girl may not love big events, but she absolutely thrives at home. Her happy place? Curled up on the couch next to her favorite humans or romping around the yard with her dog friends. S’mores needs a little time to settle into new surroundings—she may lay low under the bed and watch quietly until she feels safe. Giving her space, letting her come to you, and avoiding too much direct eye contact at first are key to earning her trust. But once she’s in, she’s all in. You’ll have a loyal, affectionate shadow who loves to snuggle and be part of the pack. She is housebroken, crate trained and walks on a leash pretty well. She’s incredible with other dogs—playful, respectful, and great with all sizes and personalities. We’re looking for a home with at least one other dog to help her adjust and show her the ropes. She will need a home with no cats. S’mores currently lives with older kids and does great with them. Due to her shy nature, she’s best suited for a calmer home without young children. After spending the first year of her life with little human interaction, S’mores has blossomed in foster care. Now, she’s ready for a forever home that will be patient, kind, and full of love. She deserves nothing less. https://bit.ly/codys_adoption_application. ##2261720##

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
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.
