Meet Jake! Jake is a 4-year-old Australian Shepherd/Labrador Retriever mix weighing approximately 67 pounds who is looking for a patient, loving forever home after his family was no longer able to keep him due to a move.

A well-mannered resident dog could help him adjust, and any current dogs should meet him prior to adoption. Jake's adoption fee is $125. He is neutered, microchipped, current on rabies vaccination, booster to date, and heartworm negative. An approved online adoption application is required prior to scheduling a meet and greet.

Story
Meet Nova! Nova is a beautiful 4-year-old Miniature American Shepherd weighing approximately 43 pounds who is ready for a fresh start with the right family. She was surrendered when her previous family was no longer able to care for her. This smart girl is house trained and crate trained and, according to her previous family, has done well with dogs and children. Nova is an active, intelligent girl who will thrive with an experienced owner who can provide structure, exercise, continued training, and plenty of mental stimulation. She does have some escape-artist tendencies, so a securely fenced yard, proper containment, and responsible supervision will be especially important in her new home. Nova is not recommended for homes with small dogs, cats, or chickens. Nova is looking for someone who understands her needs and is ready to give this bright girl the consistency and commitment she deserves. Her adoption fee is $125. Nova is spayed, microchipped, and current on her rabies vaccination and annual boosters. She did test heartworm positive, but thanks to our wonderful partnership with Rockwall PAWS, her heartworm treatment is sponsored.

Paisley is the Mom to 7 pups that came in with social problems. Most of the pups have been rehabilitated and Paisley has made lots of progress and is now social. We took them to save their lives.

Story
Meet Arrow: A Story of Courage, Trust, and Second Chances One year ago, Arrow’s future was uncertain. At just three months old, he and his brother, Arlo, found themselves in one of our local shelters facing euthanasia before they had even had the chance to experience what it meant to be loved. Thankfully, Sunshine Acres Animal Sanctuary, Inc. was able to step in. When Arrow first arrived, he was terrified. He didn’t understand that people could be kind. He kept his distance, avoided touch, and watched the world with fearful eyes. Trust wasn’t something that came naturally—it had to be earned. And earn it, we did. With patience, consistency, and lots of love (and plenty of treats!), Arrow slowly began to realize that people weren’t something to fear. Day by day, he grew more confident. The puppy who once wouldn’t let anyone near him now seeks out affection, leans in for pets, and happily welcomes the people he knows and loves. His transformation has been nothing short of incredible. Arrow and Arlo have become two of the most well-behaved puppies we’ve ever welcomed through our doors. They were housebroken within their first week at the sanctuary and quickly mastered crate training. Their eagerness to learn—and their love of snacks—made training both fun and rewarding. Arrow is incredibly intelligent, just what you’d expect from a Border Collie/Labrador Retriever mix, and he’s always excited to learn something new. Today, Arrow is a sweet, affectionate young dog with a heart that’s finally learned what safety feels like. He loves being close to his people and has blossomed into a loyal companion who simply wants to be loved in return. Before going to his forever home, Arrow will receive his upcoming veterinary care at the end of August and will be fully vetted and ready to begin his next chapter. Arrow has already overcome more in his first year of life than most dogs ever should. We’d love it if he can be adopted with his brother Arlo but it would be okay for them to be adopted separately as well. They’ve get along great, but they aren’t completely bonded. Now all Arlo needs is someone willing to give him what every dog deserves—a family to call his own. If you’re looking for a smart, loving, loyal companion who understands the true meaning of a second chance, Arrow may just be the missing piece of your family. Could you be the happy ending Arrow has been waiting for? To learn more about Arrow or to schedule a meet-and-greet, contact Sunshine Acres Animal Sanctuary, Inc. at 469-952-1192 via text. Every rescue deserves a forever home, and Arrow is more than ready for his.

Story
Meet Arlo – The Quiet Soul Who Learned to Trust ❤️ Some dogs make you fall in love the moment you meet them. Arlo is one of those dogs. Arlo is a one-year-old Border Collie/Labrador Retriever mix who, along with his brother Arrow, was rescued from a local shelter just days before they were scheduled to be euthanized. They were only three months old, scared, unsure of the world, and had never experienced the love every puppy deserves. When Arlo first arrived at Sunshine Acres Animal Sanctuary, Inc. he wanted nothing to do with people. He was terrified, kept his distance, and wouldn’t even allow anyone to touch him. His fear was heartbreaking, but we knew beneath it was a dog who simply needed patience, kindness, and someone willing to believe in him. Little by little, everything changed. Today, Arlo is one of the sweetest, most gentle dogs you’ll ever meet. He has learned that people can be trusted, that gentle hands bring comfort, and that love is something he never has to earn. Watching him transform has been one of the most rewarding journeys we’ve witnessed. He maintains the goofiest expression on his face especially since he has the funniest double chin! Like his brother, Arlo amazed us with how quickly he learned. Within a week he was house-trained and crate-trained. He’s incredibly intelligent, eager to learn, and very food motivated, making continued training a joy. He has wonderful manners and has grown into a calm, well-behaved companion who simply wants to be close to his people. Arlo has an upcoming veterinary appointment at the end of August and will be fully vetted before going to his forever home. Arlo doesn’t need a perfect family—he just needs one that will continue showing him the love and security he has finally discovered. In return, you’ll gain a loyal best friend whose quiet gratitude is felt every single day. His difficult beginning does not define him. It simply makes his story of resilience, hope, and unconditional love even more beautiful. Could your home be the happy ending Arlo has been waiting for? Text us at 469-952-1192 for more information.
