Story
Meet sweet Luna! She is a 10-year-old, 42 lb., Australian Shepherd mix. She is sweet, shy, and smart. We adopted her as a puppy from a rescue out-of-state, and she's been a great family dog. Unfortunately, our son's allergies & eczema have become unmanageable, and we want everyone to have a good quality of life. Luna is a relaxed dog, and prefers her space. She likes to be brushed, and will tell you when she wants cuddles or playtime! She can be picky about certain foods, but loves chicken when offered! She currently lives with 1 other dog, and 2 babies/small children. She is particular about canine friends, and we are unsure how she would do in a home with cats. Our toddler seems to stress her out, so we'd want to make a match with kids thoughtfully (she would likely do better with older children who better understand boundaries). Luna received obedience training as a puppy, and is house trained. Her leash skills and sharing are works-in-progress. She is very smart, so she has good potential for training, and is very sweet. Luna deserves a loving home where everyone can have a good life! Is that yours? Apply today to adopt Luna! This pet is participating in the Dallas Pets Alive rehoming program.

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.

Story
Let's go Eevee! This fun, energetic girl will Pokémon-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.

Beautiful Bella Bear BELLA BEAR is the sweetest girl! She's extremely smart and she knows how to pick up on cues easily. She it’s so cute and cuddly sometimes she looks like a little bear cub, a perfect snuggle sister for humans or for a male companion dog.     Bella knows several commands, including :  sit, stay, wait, leave it, drop it, go potty, and come here (sometimes, she may give you a paw if you hold your hand out) but she can still be trained because she loves treats!    Bella loves toys that she can destroy, a chew toy from time to time but what she enjoys most of all is a game of fetch! She will not play outside by herself in a backyard -- you MUST come play with her. She does know the difference between her own toys that she can play with and your belongings.   Bella loves walking/jogging on leash alongside her people; she loves being outside for any reason! She loves belly rubs, and in return, loves to give kisses of affection. She loves barking when people walk by the home or the fence - she will always let you know someone is nearby.    Bella isn't territorial for her own space but she will make any place in the house (especially the living room or your bed) her comfort spot unless you train her not to .   Bella enjoys being around dogs that want to play.  She would be really happy to have a companion dog, a large male who’s yelling and fun like her to play with.   Bella is housetrained and she will bark in the middle of the night if she needs to be let outside.   Bella is a great little dog. She’s the perfect size and the perfect energy level to be a companion to people or a family or to a male dog companion.   To apply to adopt sweet BELLA BEAR, please complete the application on our website below then text:   Sara: 214-549-9905 & Kevin: 469-623-3999   So one of us can check your application!   Thank you!   www.dashdog.org General Info - PLEASE READ! *Our $450 adoption fee is based on the cost of rescuing, transporting and vetting each dog; we do not try to compete on prices with municipal shelters whose funds are paid by the city.

Beautiful Bella Bear BELLA BEAR is the sweetest girl! She's extremely smart and she knows how to pick up on cues easily. She it’s so cute and cuddly sometimes she looks like a little bear cub, a perfect snuggle sister for humans or for a male companion dog.     Bella knows several commands, including :  sit, stay, wait, leave it, drop it, go potty, and come here (sometimes, she may give you a paw if you hold your hand out) but she can still be trained because she loves treats!    Bella loves toys that she can destroy, a chew toy from time to time but what she enjoys most of all is a game of fetch! She will not play outside by herself in a backyard -- you MUST come play with her. She does know the difference between her own toys that she can play with and your belongings.   Bella loves walking/jogging on leash alongside her people; she loves being outside for any reason! She loves belly rubs, and in return, loves to give kisses of affection. She loves barking when people walk by the home or the fence - she will always let you know someone is nearby.    Bella isn't territorial for her own space but she will make any place in the house (especially the living room or your bed) her comfort spot unless you train her not to .   Bella enjoys being around dogs that want to play.  She would be really happy to have a companion dog, a large male who’s yelling and fun like her to play with.   Bella is housetrained and she will bark in the middle of the night if she needs to be let outside.   Bella is a great little dog. She’s the perfect size and the perfect energy level to be a companion to people or a family or to a male dog companion.   To apply to adopt sweet BELLA BEAR, please complete the application on our website below then text:   Sara: 214-549-9905 & Kevin: 469-623-3999   So one of us can check your application!   Thank you!   www.dashdog.org General Info - PLEASE READ! *Our $450 adoption fee is based on the cost of rescuing, transporting and vetting each dog; we do not try to compete on prices with municipal shelters whose funds are paid by the city.

Maggie may have spent time on her own, but sheâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s off to a great start getting to know all her new friends. Sheâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s met both big dogs and little dogs, and even when her curiosity gets the best of her, she takes a cue from her new friends. Cats will keep her amused, even if they are uninterested in her. She knows how to walk on her leash, sleep in her crate, and take care of business outside. Sheâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s played well with young children, but she can benefit from the loving guidance of adults to help her become more confident. Sheâ&#194&#128&#194&#153ll learn from a family who wants to help her become her best self. In her eyes, youâ&#194&#128&#194&#153re everything! Maggie has plenty of energy and will enjoy getting out for a run in addition to her walks. She loves toys, catching a ball, and playing tug. For a family with lots of love to offer to her, sheâ&#194&#128&#194&#153ll steal your heart, and youâ&#194&#128&#194&#153ll love her anyway!

Story
Mack is the kind of dog who makes life feel easy. With his calm, steady presence and friendly nature, he fits into just about any environment. He’s great with dogs, cats, and kids, taking everything in stride with a patient and easygoing attitude. While he enjoys playful moments, especially chasing around with other dogs, he’s just as happy relaxing nearby, perfectly content to do his own thing. He’s both crate and potty trained, making him a low-maintenance addition to the home. Mack thrives on a simple routine: a daily walk, some social time, and plenty of downtime to recharge. He doesn’t demand constant attention, but you’ll always find him close by, quietly keeping you company in his own laid-back way. If you’re looking for a dog who brings a peaceful, balanced energy into your home, one who’s friendly, adaptable, and effortlessly chill, Mack might just be your perfect match.
