Story

Olivia is a special and sweet girl. She adores her human, has a mind of her own, and does not hesitate to let you know when she thinks she is not getting the attention she expects :) Her favorite thing seems to be to curl up under the blanket with her human and take long naps. She lives with 5 other dogs and is getting along great with them. She isn't scared to tell her big 50lb sister who is boss! She is very curious and wants to know what is going on at all times. She wants to be where you are to make sure she can keep an eye on you. Olivia has a few special needs, and is looking for a special family that will given her the extra care she requires. She can't use her back legs due to what might be a spinal injury. She does have sensation in both back legs though, so we started with some mobility exercises for a few months. We have also fitted her with a set of fancy pink wheels and she took to them immediately. They give her freedom, and she has quickly mastered how to navigate corners. She gets to wear them in the house several hours a day, until she decides she needs her precious naps. Now she zips around the house and the yard like a pro! She hasn't been doing exercises for some time now, however she has gained a bit more strength in her back legs and is able to stand up and take a few wobbly steps at a time. She also went for a short walk outside where she met several neighborhood kids and pups. More walks to come once the weather improves. Olivia is also a little incontinent, and that has been very easy to manage with washable diapers and a little help. Olivia has an amazingly inspiring zest for life and doesn't let this slow her down one bit. She is looking for her special family that will be willing to give her the little extra care she needs with loads of love that she absolutely demands :)Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 2, 2024, 12:17 am

Story

Meet Rose IV! She is a 5-year-old, 8-pound chihuahua. She loves to cuddle and run. If she does play with her toys itâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s usually tug of war. She is the sweetest little pup, and instantly caves when you let her. Treats and cuddles are a way to her heart, especially belly rubs. She had a tooth extraction last year, so she ideally eats wet food, and is up to date on her vaccinations. She has been spayed and microchipped. I was entrusted with her and her brother, Bear, from my cousin who travels a lot for work during the pandemic. So she is a Louisiana girl at heart. Rose loves attention but doesnâ&#194&#128&#194&#153t need extreme physical activity, bundled in your lap or arms will do the trick for her. She does have a little anxiety, so running or walking helps her out. And boy can she run. She is pretty good with other dogs and has never been around cats. Despite her never being around cats, her personality resembles one sometimes. Her current home is with her brother Bear, who she loves to play with, so sheâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s great with other dogs. She has been both leash and crate-trained. She knows the sit, stay, place, and high five (although her high five is more like a down low), she knows jump, and my personal favorite 'sit proper.' Sheâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s a great dog but I simply canâ&#194&#128&#194&#153t travel with her and my current living conditions are not doing her the justice she deserves, so Iâ&#194&#128&#194&#153m looking for a home that does. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * If you have a specific question about Rose IV, then please email newdigs@dallaspetsalive.org.

Story

Meet Bear X! He is a 5-year-old, 10-pound chihuahua. He loves to play and has so much energy. He can play fetch all day. His favorite toy is his carrot squeaker, although any toy that squeaks he loves. He is a burst of energy. He loves food and simply sitting on or next to you. While he loves cuddles, he will tell you when heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s done. He had a cherry eye on his right eye, we got that repaired and he is just as handsome as ever. He is up to date on his vaccinations, heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s been microchipped and is neutered. I got him when he was almost two from my cousin, who was no longer able to care for him and his sister. Bear is full of energy, properly like a little kid. He loves to play and have your attention. While he loves going on walks, he loves to meet other dogs. He has never been around children or cats. He loves to eat, so I would recommend that if he is housed with another animal to make sure he doesnâ&#194&#128&#194&#153t eat their food too! Again he loves to be petted and patted, but heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153ll let you know when he doesnâ&#194&#128&#194&#153t want any more affection, heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153ll just go grab his toys. He has been crate trained, and while he responds to leash training, itâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s not a firm thing. He will sit and go down and stay and place. His best trait is his smile, so you can either tell him to cheese or smile. He is the best boy but I simply cannot keep him. My schedule and living situation is not ideal for him and his sister. And they deserve the world. Maybe you can give that to him! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * If you have a specific question about Bear X, then please email newdigs@dallaspetsalive.org.

Story

Do you have a dog bed in a warm, sunny spot that's missing a little white cuddle bug? Because we have one looking for a home! Rio is one handsome, sweet boy who loves a good soak in the sun as much as a cuddle on the couch. He's curious, fun, and social, though he doesn't mind being the center of your attention, either :) Rio was rescued from the streets of West Dallas by a good Samaritan just a few months ago when he was still a baby. Now, he's growing up quickly, but he'll always be your baby! November 19, 2024, 10:42 pm

Story

Cain is a 7 years old 14 pound chihuahua that thrives on attention. He's such a happy little guy especially when he's around children. He has never let the fact he's paralyzed from the waist down affect his demeanor or block his little ray of sunshine! He's also dog & cat friendly and loves people! Cain's favorite thing to do is burrow under a blanket as close to your body as he can but he doesnt mind sleeping in his own bed or play pen at night. In the mornings he is ready for some good neck scratches and attention from each child in his Foster Home. Food is the way to Cain's heart. He loves strawberries, apples, and egg with his medicine which he takes twice a day. He never appears to be in any pain and is so full of life and has so much love to give. He loves stroller rides, car rides and even days where he can just lay around with his favorite friend. Cain is learning to use the wheelchair but not yet a fan. He prefers the lifting harness to be carried. If you open the door to go outside, he will come flying down the hallway because he LOVES being outside!!!! The best part is how excited he gets, about food and people he loves. He does the "Cain Dance" where his ears go back, he smiles big while hopping around and spinning until you get on the floor and love on him. To meet Cain in person visit us at www.DSDA.org/adopt and submit our online application. * Adoption Fees: Puppies (12 months and under) - $325 Dogs (over 12 months) - $275 Qualifications for Adoption: No dog is alike and each dog has different requirements based on breed, age, energy level and life experiences.

Story

Woof! I'm a senior gentleman looking for my forever home. I may be a bit hard of hearing, but I'm still full of love and waggles! I'm a big softie who loves cuddles and belly rubs. I'm a pro at chilling out and going with the flow. I'm good with just about everyone – humans, cats, dogs, you name it! I'm also a master of the leash and love going for walks. Plus, I'm a total pro at patio dining. I've had a rough start, but I'm ready to trade in my past for a future filled with love and belly rubs. I promise to be the sweetest, most laid-back companion you could ask for. So, what do you say? Ready to give an old boy like me a chance? Here's how to adopt me: Meet the Adoption Criteria. Before you do anything else, make sure you meet our adoption criteria. You must be at least 21 years old. You must live within a 60-mile radius of Richardson, Texas. You must share veterinary records for all pets currently in your home and all pets owned in the last five years. All pets in the home must be spayed or neutered. If you rent your home, you must provide verification that pets are allowed on the property. You must be willing to be interviewed by an adoption counselor and you must undergo a home visit from an RHS representative. Apply. You can complete an application at an MTP event or complete it online by either clicking the button below or the “Adopt” button beneath the pet’s photo in the listings above. Phone Interview or Attend a Meet the Pets (MTP) event. This is a great opportunity to meet the pet you are interested in and see if you connect. We hold these events once a month on Saturday from 1:00-3:00 p.m. We post the pets who are expected to attend on Friday evening on our Facebook page. For exact details and locations, view our event calendar. If an event is over a week away, a counselor may contact you for a phone interview. Home Visit. If all the steps above are completed satisfactorily, we will set up a home visit where you can meet the pet you are interested in again and the pet can meet other pets in the family. We will try to send the foster parent so you can learn more about how the pet is in a home environment. Complete Adoption. If all feel it is a good match, we will schedule the adoption at MTP or an off-site location. The applicant will need to complete the adoption contract and pay the adoption fee. Our adoption fee is $250 for adult dogs, $300 for puppies (under 1 year) and $125 for cats. Discounts are available for senior-aged pets. APPLY HERE: www.richardsonhumanesociety.org ##2197443##
