Story
Meet Max 🐾 Max is a handsome 5-year-old Australian Shepherd/Kelpie mix with a heart as big as his smile. We originally adopted Max out as a puppy, and for the first four years of his life he served as an emotional support companion for a teenager. When his family lost their home due to landlord issues, they were heartbreakingly forced to surrender him. His next owner loved him for a year and invested in both intermediate and advanced training classes, making Max a well-mannered, well-rounded companion. House & Crate trained--Knows basic commands---Completed intermediate and advanced training classes---Great with other dogs, including the many Chihuahuas in his foster home Max weighs about 60 pounds and still has plenty of great years ahead of him. He loves being with his people and wherever the other dogs are, that's where you'll find Max too. Most nights he sleeps on a pillow beside his foster mom's bed, although every now and then he sneaks into the bed for extra cuddles. Max is also the perfect road-trip buddy. He absolutely loves riding shotgun and has become his foster moms favorite driving companion. Whether its a quick trip to the store or a longer adventure, Max is happiest when he's along for the ride. his absolute favorite things in life? Swimming and playing fetch! If you have a pool, Max will think he has hit the jackpot. Water is his happy place, and he never turns down a game of fetch. Thanks to a generous sponsor, Max's adoption fee has been reduced to just $50. If you are looking for a loyal, trained, affectionate companion who is ready to become part of your family, Max may be the perfect match. To apply, please visit: ChloesPetRescue.org/application

Story
Riley is eight months old and 25 pounds. She is exceptionally playful and enjoys the company of children. She has a fondness for walks, frozen carrots, chasing bubbles, and swimming. While she loves playing in water, she is not particularly fond of baths which is hilarious. Riley is also affectionate and loves to cuddle. She will happily accompany you to every room! Furthermore, she will sit beside you while you are doing homework or even watch television with you. Playing fetch is also one of her favorite activities! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * If you have a specific question about Riley III, then please email newdigs@dallaspetsalive.org.

Story
Meet Annie! She is a 3yr old spayed female American Pitbull mix that weighs 40lbs. She came into the Mesquite Animal Shelter on as a stray 8/26/2025. She was adopted for one day but returned due to her very active playful manner. Yes, its true she is a spitfire! She loves to chase toys, doing zoomies in the play yard, and can be a bit mouthy with excitement. Once she runs out her energy she will sit right next you on the bench to be petted and will shower you with kisses. She does love treats but does not always take them gently so she will need additional training. She would do best with a person with an active lifestyle that can dedicate time to Annie to help her be the best pup she can be. She always has a big smile on her face and her tail wags non-stop. You can tell she wants to be your one and only pup in the home. With her energy level it maybe best. Please discuss with the shelter staff if you have another dog in the home so a dog test can be arranged. This super friendly lovebug can’t wait to find her own loving home. Can you please provide her with this?

These pups are in Richardson, Texas too!

Story
If you’re looking for a built-in best buddy who’s always up for fun, exploration, and a little silliness, I might just be your guy. I’m mostly white with a splash of ginger on my ears. I was born last July 4th, and I’m an Aussie mix like my mom. Dad is a bit of a mystery, but I like to think that just adds to my charm. I’ve got soft fur, bright dark eyes, and a happy-go-lucky outlook on life.   When I was four months old I had a hearing test and they found that I was deaf in my right ear - this is called "unilateral" hearing.  All this means is sometimes I have move my head around so I can locate sound, so it might take me a second to process.   I love being on the move, checking out new places, and meeting new friends. I’m great with kids and other dogs, and I’m very well adjusted. I’m already crate trained and housetrained too, which means I’m off to a great start as a family companion. My ideal family would be active, enjoy getting out and doing things, and have a backyard where I can stretch my legs, play, and burn off some of my energy. At the end of the day, I’m also sweet and cuddly and happy to soak up love from my people. I’m looking for a person or family who wants a true companion and plans to make me part of their whole life, for my whole life. If you’re ready for laughter, adventure, and a loyal sidekick who thinks you’re the best thing ever, I’d love to meet you.

Story
Meet Jay – Big Personality, Bigger Heart  Meet Jay, a bundle of joy who might be part pug, part Aussie—and 100% personality! This energetic boy loves his toys and takes his job of protecting the yard from bunnies, squirrels, birds, and even leaves very seriously. Jay doesn't want to miss anything so he will follow you everywhere. Jay is a zoomie pro and would love a home with another playful dog (no cats, please). He’s kennel trained but wouldn't be opposed to sleeping with his people—snoring included—and walks fairly well on a leash, though he pulls with excitement. He's a very playful boy! He’s great with dog-savvy kids but would do best in a home with older children since he can get a little zoomy. Jay is a sweet, loving boy who’s learning his manners and will make a wonderful companion for an active family. ##2353867##

Story
Big Bob from the original DSDA Bluey Litter is now almost 4 years old and 52 pounds of handsome, playful floof.    He was adopted as a young puppy into a home with small children, but as he grew up it became clear that busy kid energy just isn’t Bob’s vibe. Some dogs prefer a quieter life, and Bob is one of them, so he has returned to us to find the home that truly fits him. If a peaceful, kid-free household sounds like your kind of place too, Big Bob might be the perfect companion. Bob loves long walks and totally nonreactive to other dogs on leash.  He will happily play fetch whenever you’re up for it. He’s a smart boy who already knows multiple commands and has great manners. In true cattle dog fashion, he’s observant, loyal, and happiest when he has his people nearby.   Because of his herding instincts, Bob will need a home without small children or male dogs. An older female dog in the home may do just fine but Bob as an only dog soaking up all the attention is ideal.    Like many cattle dogs, Bob thrives with active owners, a secure fenced yard, and a family who is home more often than not. Give him a little exercise, a little structure, and a lot of love, and he’ll reward you with a loyal best friend for years to come.   Big Bob has been waiting patiently for the right family. Could that be you?    To meet Big Bob  in person visit our website for more details regarding our adoption process and complete the easy online no obligation adoption application at www.dsda.org/adopt.  * Adoption Fees: Puppies (12 months and under) - $325  Dogs (over 12 months) - $275  Qualifications for Adoption:  No dog is alike and each dog has different requirements based on breed, age, energy level and life experiences. DSDA is very careful to place our dogs in homes that we believe are the best fit for the dog based on our experience with each dog. All of our dogs live in foster homes which allows us the opportunity to learn about their individual needs.  Must be 21 years or older with identification showing present address. Must have the knowledge and consent of all adults living in the household. Vet checks are required. All resident animals must be spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccinations and on monthly heartworm and flea/tick preventative (if applicable). Must receive proof of pet deposit and lease allowing pets if renting. ##1406577##
