Story
Meet Lance &#194&#151 a tiny guy with a big personality and a whole lifetime of adventures ahead! Lance is a young puppy (approximately 7 weeks old as of 01/17/26) who is now officially available for adoption and ready to start his journey with a committed, loving family. Based on his appearance, he is believed to be a Kelpie/Terrier mix, but as with all stray puppies, breed is only our best guess and cannot be guaranteed. Just like his future size, his exact breed makeup is a mystery, which means he could grow to be smaller, larger, or right in between &#194&#151 part of the fun of puppy parenthood is watching that surprise unfold. He's at that irresistible stage of life where everything is new, exciting, and occasionally something to chew on. He's playful, curious, and learning about the world one paw at a time. Lance's adoption fee is $125, which includes his neuter (to be completed at 12 weeks of age), microchip, first DAPPV booster, Bordetella booster, and first round of dewormer. He is required to return to Rockwall Adoption Center on Wednesday, 02/18/26 for his neuter and rabies vaccination. This appointment is non-negotiable and is required by Texas state law as part of the adoption contract. Apply to adopt Lance here: https://rockwalladoptions.com/adoptfoster/adoption-application/ A Very Important (and Honest) Puppy Disclaimer Puppies are adorable... and also tiny tornadoes with teeth. Adopting a young puppy means committing to potty training (yes, even at 2 a.m.), chewing (your shoes are officially on notice), training and socialization, structure, patience, and consistency, and teaching them how to grow into a confident, well-mannered adult dog. Lance will need time, dedication, positive training, and proper socialization to become the amazing companion he's meant to be. If you're ready for puppy classes, play sessions, structure, and lots of love (plus a few chewed toys along the way), Lance just might be your perfect match. If you're prepared for the responsibility&#194&#151and the joy&#194&#151of raising a puppy the right way, Lance is ready to meet his forever family.  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.

Story
t's me, Mo- the guy with the big blue eyes, spotted nose, and a tongue that sometimes forgets to stay in my mouth. I've been patiently waiting at my finders home, dreaming about the day I finally get my forever home.  Here is what you should know about me: I am very loveable I love people and dogs of all sizes I am fascinated by horses Car rides are the best I was abandoned and starved, so food really excites me Bully sticks are my favorite I love playing fetch I want to be taken on walks but my finder/foster has too many dogs and no time to walk me. I don't need anything fancy, just patience, kindness and a family who has time for me.  Mo is one year old and 59 lbs Kelpie mix who was found stray by a kind citizen. Months went by without an owner coming forward and now Mo is searching for a new family that can give him all the love and attention he deserves. He's house and crate trained and gets along great with other dogs and cats.  Mo is neutered, vaccinated, microchiped and heartworm negative. His adoption fee is $275. Please apply online and we'll be in touch: 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. Therefore, if you are interested in adopting from LHS, please complete an online application at http://legacyhumanesociety.org/adoptfoster/adoption-application/ and we will contact you asap about the status of your application.

Story
We received Daisy along with her sister Peach when they were 10 weeks old. She is almost 2 years old (born around January of 2024). Daisy is a very snuggly cuddly lap dog. She's not super adventerous, but does enjoy going on walks and laying out in the sun and in the grass. Her favorite things to do are laying on her bed or in your lap with lots of love and pets. She is very smart and listens well to commands like sitting, staying, or coming when called. She's very social and loves meeting new humans and dogs alike. She loves kids and babies, but does get so excited that she jumps up to kiss and greet everyone she meets, but there's not a mean bone in her body. She is a real sweetheart and would be perfect in a home that will show her lots of love and affection.

Story
Meet Littlefoot! This little tripod is one of the sweetest pups you’ll ever meet. She was found as a stray along with her puppies in South Texas a few months ago. Since rescuing her, we have gotten her fully vetted which included amputating her front limb, as she was born with a deformity that was causing her some pain. She’s a little over a year old, good with dogs, but prefers a mellow companion. She’s extremely sweet with people and would like to be a cuddle partner for hours on end. She’s also potty trained and crate trained. She has not been cat tested so unfortunately, we do not know how she would do with kitties. Because Littlefoot was a "street dog" the first year of her life, new things can be scary at first. So we will require a patient leader that can teach her that the world is not a scary place. Our trainer will be happy to continue to work with her on confidence building once she enters into your home, as all of our pups come with 3 free at home sessions with one of our trainers. If this little bundle of energy and love, sounds like the perfect match for you, please visit the link and fill out an adoption application so that we can schedule a phone call to chat about her . Please note we do not ship dogs out of state. If you’re currently not in the Dallas Fort Worth area, you will have to come to Dallas to meet her.
