Story

Met Scooter! My husband and I are elementary school teachers and this sweet boy (now affectionately called Scooter) had been hanging around the school playground since the beginning of the year. When Animal Control came and said he would be euthanized that night, we couldnâ&#194&#128&#194&#153t let that happen. We scooped him up and brought him to our in laws home in Frisco. He is good with other dogs, cats, and kids! Scooter has been nothing short of wonderful. Heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s gentle, loving, and great with kids. Heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s fully potty trained, walks beautifully on a leash, and has quickly adjusted to being indoors. Heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s vaccinated, neutered and has the sweetest, most even temperament, he especially loves rolling over for belly rubs and being close to people. This boy is the best and deserves the best home! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * If you have a specific question about Scooter, then please email newdigs@dallaspetsalive.org.

Story

Dolly may be the perfect dog to step into your waiting household. At nearly one years old, she has learned all her basic skills from sleeping in her crate to taking care of business. Listening and knowing when to â&#194&#128&#194&#156leave itâ&#194&#128&#194&#157 and how to shake are part of her best qualities. Part of a full household, Dolly might enjoy the attention of a small household but has spent time with other pups in her litter. Once she spends time with her new family, Dolly's energy level will settle into her new playtime routine. To get started, chewing on a bone will always be a favorite pastime. She still needs a few final checks with her vet before moving to her forever home. Dolly will definitely enjoy getting quality cuddle time and having a warm bed, a loving family, and a happy home of her own. All Dallas Pets Alive adoptable pets are spayed or neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines upon adoption. The standard minimum donation for dogs over six months to seven years is $200, puppies under six months is $250, dogs eight years and over are $100 unless specified otherwise.

Story

Looking for a Forever Home – Blue Heeler (Dallas, TX Area) Meet Knoxx, a stunning Blue Heeler who wandered into a rural main street back in December. Sadly, no one came forward for her, and she wasn’t chipped — but she’s now fully vetted and ready for her forever family. • Age: Approximately 3–4 years • Health: Spayed, fully vetted, heartworm negative, and on prevention • Temperament: Exceptional on leash and thrives with human companionship • Best Home Fit: Ideally the only dog, though she may do well with a male dog of equal or larger size. Best suited for a home with children 10+. Knoxx will thrive with a confident leader who understands her breed or has experience with working dogs. She is loyal, intelligent, and affectionate — the perfect partner for someone who can give her structure and love.

Story

She is a beautiful female Blue Heeler with a loyal and intelligent personality. She is very active, alert, and loves to stay busy. Like most Heelers, she is protective of her family and forms strong bonds with her people. She does best with someone who understands the breed and can provide exercise, structure, and attention. She is very smart and learns quickly. Unfortunately, due to personal circumstances, I can no longer give her the time and care she deserves. I am looking for a responsible and loving home where she will be cared for and valued as part of the family.

Story

Goose was found in Grand Prairie, TX. He would approach people playfully, yet cautiously. My wife and I decided to bring him in because something felt different about him. Over the last few months, Goose has gained his confidence back. He loves walks, jumping up off all fours in excitement when he sees a leash. He has found his fins and loves to swim. He is independent, but will match anyone’s energy if they are looking to relax or play. He is extremely loyal, and loves whoever loves him. He is ready for his forever home and family!

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Story

Let's go Eevee! This fun, energetic girl will PokÃ©mon-go with you on any adventure. Eevee is a rambunctious bundle of energy that would fit in great with a family that gets outdoors and has space for her to run around at home. She is a bit of an attention hog, so she will do best in a single-dog home, but she has lived with both a cat and a dog and may be able to settle in with the right animal friends with enough time and training. Eevee needs animal companions that are respectful of her space when food is out, or to be fed separately. Owners and animal friends would need to be able to handle her high energy play-drive, so similar sized dog friends may be best. Eevee has lived with a toddler for two years, but may be better with older children after a slow introduction. Eevee is smart and very trainable. Earlier in her puppyhood, Eevee did a 3 week board and train and has some basic obedience training that, while rusty, could easily be honed further. She's showed aptitude for agility-style courses, and can be convinced to do most anything with the right treats. Eevee's prior trainer has stated that he would give any new owner two free training sessions to support Eevee's transition into a new home. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * If you have a specific question about Eevee, then please email newdigs@dallaspetsalive.org.

Archie II (New Digs)

Australian Shepherd

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Archie! Archie is listed as an Australian Shepherd, but he has the personality of a Husky. He weighs about 67 pounds and was born on January 8, 2022. Archie is a sweet, gentle dog with a calm energy level. He currently lives in a low-activity household, which may have influenced his laid-back nature, though with a more active lifestyle, he may become more energetic. He doesnâ&#194&#128&#194&#153t seem to know how to play in the traditional sense, but every so often, heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153ll pull all his stuffed toys (â&#194&#128&#194&#156his babiesâ&#194&#128&#194&#157) from the basket and scatter them around the room. His favorite place to nap is in a leather chair, where he spends much of his day. He takes a daily vitamin and enjoys having an egg with his breakfast. It's believed that heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s been passed around a bitâ&#194&#128&#194&#148his last owner had him for only four months. Heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s strikingly beautiful and incredibly sweet. However, due to his size, heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s become difficult for his current owner to manage. Archie appears to do well with other dogs, though he hasn't been to dog parks. He has a clear preference for menâ&#194&#128&#194&#148he often chooses the company of a male stranger over familiar faces. He enjoys daily walks and uses a doggie door without issue. While he isnâ&#194&#128&#194&#153t overly cuddly, he has warmed up and will occasionally jump into a lap to show affection. In general, he can seem a bit indifferent to familiar people. He previously spent time with another dog for a couple of weeks; they played well initially, but as things got rougher, they had to be separated for safety. He did enjoy the companionship, and with proper supervision or training, he may benefit from having a playmate. One of Archieâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s favorite pastimes is â&#194&#128&#194&#156huntingâ&#194&#128&#194&#157 squirrels in the backyard. Though heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s never caught one, heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153ll crouch and stalk them with serious focusâ&#194&#128&#194&#148itâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s quite entertaining to watch. He once cornered a cat and ended up with a scratch on his nose, but that hasnâ&#194&#128&#194&#153t stopped him from continuing to chase after them. He is microchipped with a lifetime membership through 24PetWatch, and currently wears a GPS tracker on his collar, which helps provide peace of mind in case he were to get outâ&#194&#128&#194&#148especially since heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s still getting familiar with the neighborhood. Archie is fully house-trained and has never had an accident indoors. He was crate trained but no longer uses a crate. He gets one treat per dayâ&#194&#128&#194&#148a dental chew. This rehoming decision comes with a heavy heart. Archieâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s current owner is older, increasingly unsteady on their feet, and no longer able to care for a large dog. With their adult son recently relocated for work, support at home is limited. Archie would thrive in a home with someone experienced with larger breeds or Husky-like temperaments, and who can give him the time, space, and affection he deserves. Could that be you? * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * If you have a specific question about Archie II, then please email newdigs@dallaspetsalive.org.
