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.

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.

Howdy, y'all! My name is Cowboy, and I'm a handsome 3-year-old neutered male Red Heeler mix weighing 42lbs. I was surrendered to the Rockwall Adoption Center because my previous home had too many animals, but I'm ready to ride off into the sunset with a family of my very own! I'm a friendly, well-mannered boy who gets along great with other dogs and children. I'm both house and crate trained, and I love spending time with my people&#194&#151whether that's playing in the yard, going for walks, or relaxing after a long day. Right now, I'm staying in a loving foster home while I wait for my forever family to find me. If you think that could be you, I'd love to meet you soon! My adoption fee is $125. I am neutered, microchipped, current on my annual core boosters, and heartworm negative. Apply today to adopt me: https://rockwalladoptions.com/adoptfoster/adoption-application/. Once your application is approved, RAC staff will contact you to schedule a meet and greet with my foster family! Could you be the one to give this Cowboy his forever home on the range?  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.

Story
Meet Rome! Hi there! My name is Rome, and I'm an approximately 2-year-old male Blue Heeler mix with a big heart and a love for people. I was surrendered when my previous family was no longer able to care for me, but I'm ready to start my next chapter with a family who appreciates affection over fetch. I'm a social, happy boy who isn't really into toys&#194&#151I'd much rather soak up attention, enjoy good company, and relax in a comfy bed or pile of blankets. I keep my kennel clean and appear to be potty trained, which means I'm already off to a great start in a home environment. I haven't been tested with other dogs yet, so a meet-and-greet is essential if you have pets at home to make sure everyone is comfortable. My adoption fee is $125, and I am neutered, microchipped, current on my rabies vaccination and DHPP booster, and heartworm negative. If you're looking for a friendly companion who runs on love and cozy naps, I might just be your guy. Apply to adopt me at https://rockwalladoptions.com/adoptfoster/adoption-application/ Rome is ready to trade shelter life for soft blankets and a family of his own.  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.
