Story
COURTESY POST: Diesel is a 5 year old, 25 pounds dog who is 1/2 Rat Terrier and 1/2 French Bulldog. Diesel was adopted a year ago. He was a neglected country dog covered in ticks, but he immediately took to having a family and a warm home. In fact, he often prefers to lounge in his crate instead of go outside. He is an excellent squirrel dog, likely from having lived outside for much of his life. Diesel is a very sweet, loving dog. He would do better in a home with children over 6. We are a RESCUE GROUP, not a shelter, and all of our animals are in foster homes. To start the adoption process, email us at adoptions@earstexas.org requesting an application. Submitting an application does not commit you in any way, but helps us make the best match between people and our available dogs. Your current or past dogs must be inside dogs who have been spayed/neutered and are on heartworm prevention. All of the dogs in our program are inside dogs and are completely vetted including all vaccinations, spayed/neutered, free of internal parasites, microchipped, heartworm negative and on prevention before adoption. Our adoption process includes an application, check of vet records or personal references, interview, neutral site meet & greet with the dog and your family, and a home visit.

Story
I present to you: Princess Buttercup! This precious four-year-old puppy mama shows all the best caring and nurturing qualities to her little ones. She's patient and affectionate with her small brood, nursing and tending to her four pups. She's equally lovable with people, too. Even while caring for her litter, Princess Buttercup still shows her energetic side. She's a high-energy lady and enjoys walks and jumping as she plays. She thrives on proteins (salmon, chicken, and steak) and dog treats and is definitely food motivated. Princess Buttercup is the perfect size to be a lap dog, and she enjoys cuddling up with the humans she's met. She'll stay close to your side as you navigate through her home. If you're searching for a dog to brighten your world, she's exactly as you wish. All Dallas Pets Alive adoptable pets are spayed or neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines upon adoption. The standard minimum donation for dogs over six months to seven years is $200, puppies under six months is $250, dogs eight years and over are $100 unless specified otherwise. You can view all adoptable pets and fill out an adoption application online on our website at http://dallaspetsalive.org/adopt/adoptable-dogs/.

Story
Energetic 3-year-old Luna spends long days alone, tolerantly resting in her crate while her humans are at work. But she yearns for a new home where she is more free to romp, run, chase critters, and play fetch, getting plenty of interaction with an active and engaging family. She's prepared to dazzle you with her repertoire of tricks, including sit, stay, paw, lie down, roll over, kissy, and spin. She'll even balance treats on her nose then toss them into the air to catch! Luna is a fun-loving, spunky girl, who is always in the mood to go on adventures, and she never fails to bring toys back to keep a game of fetch going.  After she has tired you out, Luna's content to relax on her bed or snuggle up beside you for a nap, particularly if you are offering belly rubs. She's fully crate trained and house-trained but needs continued work at walking more calmly on leash. She's eager to engage with other dogs who are similarly fun-loving and energetically playful; because she's a big girl for a rattie mix (35 lbs.), other dogs who are smaller, timid, or grumpy might be annoyed by her persistent liveliness. Luna is extremely smart and highly motivated by food. She has been trained to not take treats or food unless told 'take,' and if she gets possessive over high-value treats or things she shouldn't have, she'll listen to you when you say 'leave it.' Taking her guard dog responsibilities seriously, she'll alert her humans to suspicious noises or people outside and will greet newcomers to the home with barking and jumping. After a few treats and a little time, however, she'll accept the new friends and offer them her toys. Her excitable nature and inclination to resource guard food and treats makes her unsuitable for young children. But beautiful Luna will be the perfect companion for an active and attentive household whose members spend much time at home. See more photos of Luna at www.imageevent.com/Newrattitude/luna .Our adoption fee is $200 for adult dogs or $250 for puppies under 6 months old. If you are interested in adopting this dog, PLEASE READ THE DETAILED ADOPTION PROCESS information on our website at www. NewRattitude.org/adopt/  From there, you can access our adoption application or contact our Adoption Team for more info. December 25, 2024, 9:22 pm

Story
Diego is a sweet little man! He is 8 years old, and loves his daily morning bone (treat) after his walk. He is fully house trained, and does not need any crating when left alone at home. He doesnt chew or damage anything in the house, but he might try to sneak up on the couch to snuggle while youre gone :) The reason he needs to find a new loving owner is because my apartment complex is threatening eviction due to my neighbor complaining about Diego barking when I am not home. The barking only lasts 15-20 minutes when I leave, but they are hyper sensitive and continue to file complaints, leading to this situation. I will lay out all the difficulties about Diego to be fully transparent: hates getting his nails cut, doesnt like water (but willingly allows baths with warm water even though hes not happy about it), when he sees a squirrel or rabbit he will pull on the leash, and gets nervous at the vet. Otherwise, he is SUCH a good dog, truly. Ask me any questions you have!

Meet Catrina - The Perfect Family Pet. Meet Catrina - a 8-month-old, 20 lbs, solid black Labrador/Boston Terrier/Staffy mix (aka. adorable mutt). The vet estimates she won't get too big - max 25 to 30 lbs max. She is great with other dogs. She has a very open, playful, and curious personality. She will make an excellent new member of any family, especially for children, since her size is medium (not too big, not too small). Also, she is not a chewer. Her foster home is working on her basic training which is going very well (no accidents for a while), They call her a "sweetie lap dog." Catrina is current on all vetting, preventions, and microchipped. If you are interested in Catrina, please send in your apps early: https://cowtownpets.org/online-adoption-app/. Adoption fee $125 (reduced for the holidays) Adoption location - DFW, TX, and surrounding cities. Rescue Story: Catrina was abandoned on the street with a crate and a single bowl of food. A wonderful family found her and contacted our rescue for assistance. We were lucky enough to have a foster available.

Story
  Meet Evie, a vibrant and joyful Jack Russell terrier mix, who at just 1 ½ years old and weighing about 37 lbs, is already capturing hearts. Evie's journey with Duck Team 6 began thanks to the dedication of a kind-hearted Good Samaritan and several attentive neighbors in a Lewisville community. After a month of being cared for and watched over, Evie gracefully waltzed right into one of our Duck Team 6 traps, marking the beginning of her new life. Evie has since been thriving in a loving foster home, surrounded by a warm-hearted family, four canine companions, and a revolving door of visiting dogs and children. She adores kids and forms deep bonds with her fellow furry friends, particularly her best pal, Skylar, as seen in her photo. Her foster mom describes Evie as exceptionally intelligent and quick to learn. Full of energy, she exhibits an athletic prowess, reveling in running, jumping, and playful escapades in the backyard. Evie would make an excellent partner for anyone with an active lifestyle and is looking for an enthusiastic exercise buddy. She's crate-trained and is working to improve her leash manners. But it's not all about play for Evie; she's also a cuddle enthusiast, cherishing moments spent snuggled up on the couch with her human friends. This sweet girl is eagerly awaiting her forever home where she can share her boundless love and zest for life. If you're looking for a spirited, affectionate companion, Evie might just be your perfect match. To learn more about Evie, please reach out to placement@duckteam6.org. Evie can't wait to meet her new family!     January 29, 2025, 6:19 pm

Story
**Courtesy Post** Uno is 6 years old, and will turn 7 on December 26th. He is crate trained and potty trained. This handsome boy is very high energy and active. He walks well on a leash except when walking by other people and pets, he will try to lunge and growl/bark. He loves to play ball/fetch (he can go forever). He grew up with a cat and pitbull but is still very nervous around new people/pets. He will growl and bark and it seems aggressive but it's mainly out of fear. Uno has done well with family members/kids/friend’s pets, as well as when visitors come into the home. He takes some time to open up but will eventually be okay. He is very smart, knows how to sit, lay down, and spin. He can associate many noises with things such as a Ring doorbell sound, he will immediately go to the door. He understands a lot of words. You tell him to go to bed and he will go to his crate. He actually likes being in his crate. Uno loves to follow you around and be nosey about everything you are doing. He loves to sleep on the bed on the corner, but he will also sleep in the crate locked up at night if needed. He travels well in the car and has been on many vacations. He loves the beach. He is treat motivated and very quick to learn. He is such a great dog and needs someone with an active lifestyle and a big fenced backyard to run in. There is a small rehoming fee. His new owner must be able to drive to the Dallas, Texas area to get him. If you are interested in adopting Uno, please contact his owner at jackiepark1229@gmail.com

Meet Kiki.   She is an adorable Terrier mix.   She is great with people and children.  Her lil eye had to be removed earlier this year. If you have another dog it would need to be a stronger type as she is rather dominant with weaker pups.She is about 2 years old and weighs 10 lbs.  ##2121763##
