Story
Meet Skye – Your Smart, Sweet, Adventure Buddy Say hello to Skye, a 2½-year-old mimi Australian Shepherd/Beagle mix who’s as clever as she is loving! This beautiful girl is quick to learn—she figured out the doggie door at her foster home in just 20 minutes! Skye is both house and crate trained. Now that she’s settling into a more relaxed home life, she’s learning how wonderful it feels to nap out in the open, surrounded by comfort and love. She’s sweet, smart, and great with other dogs. Skye would thrive with a family who wants to include her in their everyday adventures—riding along to soccer practice, joining weekend outings, and being part of the fun. Even better if someone in the family enjoys running—Skye would love to be your jogging partner! If you’re looking for a loyal, active companion who’s ready to be a true member of the family, Skye is eager to meet you and share all the love she has to give. ##2566332##

His ears are pricked like a collie, but his coat has all kinds of beautiful, colorful flex, and merle that he gets from his Aussie side. Oakley is extremely gentle ; he’s never met a stranger whether it’s people or other dogs he’s always interested in getting to know somebody and having a chance to play. Oakley has moderate energy level somewhere between a 4 and a 7 on a scale of 1 to 10; he’s plenty active for taking on leisurely walks or for running around in a dog park and for doing fun outdoorsy activities. On the other side, Oakley can be very calm and gentle. He’s a true snuggle bug. He loves to cuddle. He loves to come over to his humans and hunker down whether it’s a storm or a TV binge-a-thon. Oakley is right there and wants to keep everybody company. Oakley is really low maintenance; he’s perfectly housebroken and trained but he is used to having other dogs around, so we’re looking for a home where he has a friendly playful, similar size and energy, sister dog, or another submissive, male like him. Oakley is great with children. He doesn’t have an aggressive bone in his body. He loves to lick. He loves to kiss he loves to get petted and get belly rubs and any other kind of attention. He’s been gentle around even babies and toddlers, (although we still want parents to keep an eye on them!) The only reason that Oakley has to be rehomed is that his owner has developed a very severe allergy to her dogs and cannot keep either of them since they’ve always been indoor family pets they’re still getting to live that way, but it’s important that we find homes for them that are good matches where they can really be all over their people again. Oakley will be a great companion for a human or a couple a great friend and playmate for hurting breed knowledgeable children, preferably over the age of 10, as well as the perfect canine companion for another dog or two that he can have as new siblings where he’ll never feel alone. If Oakley sounds like a great match for you or your family, please complete the application on our website below and then text me, Sara: 214-549-9905 So I can check your application and then get back to you! Thank you! www.dashdog.orgGeneral 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. Our philosophy is to rescue highly adoptable dogs, have them live kennel-free in private homes for temperament assessments and individual personalities. THERE WILL BE ZERO ACCEPTIONS MADE. We work hard to match EACH dog with the right family - kids or no kids, other dogs male or female and/or cats. With very rare exceptions all dogs over 6 months will be spayed or neutered PRIOR to adoption - dogs over 6 months will include a spay/neuter date AND referral info for lower-cost surgery if the adopter does not choose to use her or his personal vet. OUR VETS DO NOT RECOMMEND AND WILL NOT PERFORM SURGERY PRIOR TO 6 MONTHS.       January 13, 2026, 5:52 pm

Story
Meet Kody! A thoughtful eight-year-old Australian Shepherd currently in Haltom City, TX, whose tricolor coat and soulful eyes reflect the loyal heart of a pup ready for purpose and connection. Kody is the kind of companion who listens with his whole being and feels deeply, he’s more than just a pretty face with a herder’s instincts; he’s a steady, sensitive soul who longs to bond with his person. While he might not herd sheep, he’s always herding love, sticking close to the one he trusts most. And once you're his person? You're really his! Expect head nudges for butt scratches, quiet companionship, and the joy of being followed around like you're the most interesting thing in the world, because to Kody, you are. Raised in an environment that didn’t quite match his needs, Kody has come a long way. He’s conquered his fear of everyday noises (ice makers are no longer public enemy #1!) and while he still seeks a quiet space during thunderstorms or fireworks, he no longer panics. He’s never had an accident indoors, uses a dog door with ease, and hasn’t touched a trash can, but yes, he may sneak off with a pair of laundry-day undies if left unsupervised. A little mischief wrapped in a well-mannered package! Kody is dog-friendly, with a special connection to a Boxer/Pitbull mix he’s spent time with, and he’s shown calm curiosity around a baby. He has also been around a Dachshund mix, who comically took on the bossy role! Kody took it all in stride, never reacting with aggression. He doesn’t crave toys but will happily destroy a squeaky one in five minutes flat! He knows basic commands like sit, paw, and lay down, and thrives on routine and gentle connection. Car rides longer than a mile or two make him queasy, so he's happiest staying local. This clever boy needs a life filled with structure, activity, and a "job", be it hiking buddy, daily walking partner, or ranch hand in training. He’s known to be a bit of an escape artist, so a secure yard would be highly recommended, along with patient guidance to continue building confidence through positive reinforcement. Could your lifestyle offer Kody the purpose and partnership he's been waiting for? If so, email adopt@joyfulpets.com to meet this remarkable pup ready to start his next chapter with you!
