My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Frances “Frannie,” an amazingly adorable 3 1/2 year-old bundle of love, excitement, and adventure!
 
Frannie is best described as a big dog in a small dog package.  At 24 lbs, she is happy to lie across your lap or be picked up to put in the car, but she holds herself with the stature of larger pups.  She is strong, energetic, and protective of the ones she loves.  She enjoys getting attention and snuggling with her foster parents as well as wrestling with other pups.
 
She has unique brindle markings that make her look like she would be just as home running through the savannah as she is curling up on the couch! Her DNA test revealed Chihuahua, Beagle, and Springer Spaniel, but she has the athletic nature of a greyhound. A family who enjoys daily walks and taking their dogs on adventures would be an ideal fit for this active girl.
 
Frannie is housebroken, crate trained and knows basic commands and leash skills. She is spayed and up to date on her medicines.  Frannie needs a patient family who will use positive reinforcement training as she is easily frightened by yelling or physical discipline. She has some reactivity to dogs she doesn't know, but once she is comfortable, she loves her dog friends.
 
If you are looking for a loving, loyal companion to share your days with, contact us for your chance to meet this lovely girl!

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 home more than not.

  • Vet checks are required! All resident pets in the applicant's home MUST be spayed or neutered, core vaccines up to date and dogs on heartworm prevention to be considered! No exceptions. 

  • Must be 21 years or older with identification showing present address.

  • Must have the knowledge and consent of all adults living in the household.

  • Must receive proof of pet deposit and lease allowing pets if renting.

  • Willingness and capacity to spend the time and money necessary to provide training, medical treatment and responsible care for a pet.

  • All poisonous plants must be removed from the yard. 

  • DSDA is located in Dallas and requires a home visit on every adoption so only adopt to Dallas and surrounding areas.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

If you are interested in adopting one of our amazing dogs:​​​

1. Please fill out an adoption application. We will be in touch shortly after receiving your application to review it with you.

2. If the application is approved, the adoption team will work with you and the foster to schedule a meeting. You are also welcome to attend our adoption events to meet our dogs, however, it is encouraged to email us first to ensure a particular dog will be attending the event.

3. After meeting the dog, if all parties agree the process should continue, a home visit wil be scheduled and you will be asked to have a list of supplies ready for your dog to come home.

4. If the home visit is successful, the adoption contract is signed, the adoption donation is collected, and your dog stays with you that day. During the 10-day trial period, you and your dog will decide if it is the absolute perfect fit. If it's not, you will work with the adoption coordinator to return the dog.

Adoption Fee - The adoption fee helps cover your dog's basic health needs including spay/neuter and vaccinations. Because many of our dogs come straight from the street, their medical needs are extensive. We spend an average of $500 on each pet for medical needs, training, and rehabilitation. For this reason, we kindly ask for the following minimum donations: $300 for puppies 12 months and under & $250 for adult dogs.
