My name is Ida Wells!

Meet Ida Wells - Our Last Little Explorer!
I just saw Ida today for the first time since she was a baby, and wow — she's growing into the most adventurous, sweet, soft pup! At about 4 months old, this lab mix is full of curiosity, joy, and love.
She's the perfect match for a family with kids who love to climb, dig, explore, and play in the dirt.
Sand dunes? Trails? Beach days? Ida is so ready!
She's the last one left from her litter — and trust us, they've all had incredible temperaments.

Meet the “Trailblazer” Litter
Found abandoned in a box on a quiet country road, these tiny fighters were barely weeks old, their eyes just beginning to open to the world. With no mother in sight, they were cold, hungry, and in desperate need of care. But despite their rough start, they’ve already shown resilience, strength, and a spark of hope—just like the iconic Black women they’re named after in honor of Black History Month.

These pups have a long road ahead, but with love and care, they’ll soon be ready to find their forever homes. Each one carries the legacy of strength and perseverance, proving that even the smallest can make the biggest impact.

All Dallas Dog adoptable pets are spayed or neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines upon finalizing adoption. Puppies adopted under the age of five months require a spay/neuter contract, and all dogs are required to be spayed by six months unless otherwise medically noted. Our dogs are currently on heartworm preventative. Puppies receive 3 to 4 rounds of vaccinations depending on their age, and adults receive two rounds unless they've been with us longer than a year, in which case they receive the booster update. You can complete an application or view all the adoptable pets on our website at www.dallasdog.org/adopt. Upon receiving your application, please allow us 2-3 business days to review and process.
