Oakley is more of an Aussie-Border Collie mix and Indy looks like an Aussie and a Collie We are considering them a “bonded pair”because they haven’t experienced life without each other. Indy is the male - he is goofball who always wants to play. He’s a perfect energy level ranging from 4-7 depending on what’s going on. If you want to play Indy will be there! He can get up and on the go at your discretion and enjoys walks, being off-leash, hiking and all outdoor adventures. Oakley is the female; she is a very loving, affectionate girl. She LOVES to cuddle and even more, belly rubs! Her overall energy is about a 4-5. Oakley can get the zoomies but she prefers to chill most of the day. Oakley likes to keep Indy in check; she’s a typical female personality in the female-male relationship. Oakley is a cautious girl; she growls a little at Indy if he’s getting too close or bothering her. When she’s getting attention and Indy “snuggle-bombs” the moment she’s very vocal about it! When it comes to humans Indy is more outgoing. But like his sister he will hunker down next to you to snuggle. Indy loves to play with all other dogs whereas Oakley is more independent. She decides for herself whether or not to play. They both get along with other dogs in general. The reason Oakley and Indy need a new home is because their beloved owner has developed severe allergies to dogs. She is heartbroken having to rehome them but she’s been on vaccine regimens, has tried several prescribed medications and has even had sinus surgery. Nothing is working. We are looking for a home with a yard where Oakley and Indy can continue to be the indoor-outdoor spirited and loyal dogs they’ve always been. If this darling duo sounds like the one you’ve been looking for please complete the application on our website below, THEN: Text Sara: 214-549-9905 so I can check you app and get back to you.

Zen got his nickname because he’s generally very chilled-out, relaxed and just wanting to hang out with his humans. He’s definitely a “Velcro-Dog” who will follow his humans wherever they go, wanting to be part of the action. However, as easily as Zen can be cool, calm and collected, he can also Pep Up and be ready for outdoor fun or playing with another dog or two! Zen is very sweet and snuggly. He will want to be close to you if you’ll let him cuddle on the sofa or bed, but he really likes to sleep on the floor closest to the door He’s taking that position as though he’s guarding his flock Zen knows a few basic commands but he will welcome the chance to learn more, especially if there are treats involved! He’s very food-motivated and will perform for both treats and lots of praise. Zen is good on leash-walks; he really doesn’t pull and instead looks to his human to lead the way. He’s not confrontational with other dogs and would really enjoy a supervised dog park or a canine companion to hang with at home. Zen is very quiet most of the time, however when he wants to communicate you’ll hear him talk to you very excitedly. He doesn’t like to be left behind but if he whines it is only for a very short time. Zen is crate-trained and housebroken. When we rescued him he had only known life in a crate. His owners were Seniors and for whatever reason they kept their dogs in crates indoors much of the time. We welcomed the chance to transition Zen from constant-crate time to life on the outside He has really loved spending time with all people and other dog pals. Zen has a very moderate energy level of 5-6 out of 10 most of the time. He will be as active as you want him to be but is also content with leisurely walks and play time. Zen would be fine as an only-dog as long as his human is not leaving him all day every day. We would love a home where someone works out of the house, has a backyard to explore and either another submissive male or female similar-sized companion. Zen needs a human or humans who have patience introducing him to the whole, wide world. He’s progressed beautifully since we got him and is ready for the right Aussie-Experienced forever home. If you’re interested in meeting Zen for adoption please complete our application on the website below, then please TEXT SARA: 214-549-9905 So I can check your app and get back to you!

JOLLY JINGLE JAMMIN’ MAN has arrived at DASH with perfect timing to find a home For the holidays and forever! He’s very well behaved for approximately one year-old puppy dog. He’s listed as an Australian Shepherd mix and he does have three colors, but he also has a curly coat and tail much like a flat coat or golden retriever. BUT HE IS MINI! Jingle isn’t expected much bigger than he is, which is 25 pounds. Jingle gets along great with all other dogs; He’s been playing nonstop with his best friend Comet Who came to us from the same local shelter (and who’s been adopted) . we got terrific photos of them meeting for the first time and absolutely no problem from there playing off leash hanging out together in the puppy pen sleeping next to each other on the big dog bed and no accidents overnight! Well, no accidents at all really. Jingle definitely Has demonstrated being crate, trained, and housebroken, although we wouldn’t leave them out there alone in the house because he is still a young dog and might find something interesting to chew. That said he definitely knows what tennis balls and tug toys are because he’s not chewing anything he shouldn’t and he’s managing to find all of the toys in the yard in the house to try and share with everybody! Not a barker not a whiner; Jingle is really A sweet, small dog who’s cool like a medium to large dog and who’s friendly to everyone with a very good disposition! While we all appreciate Holiday adoptions that brings so much to the holiday season, We are looking for these dogs to get into forever homes and hope to get applications to that effect! Jingle could be terrific in a lot of homes; First choice is always where there’s another dog, similar age and energy level to play with and for him it doesn’t matter if it’s a male or a female he gets along with everybody! We look for breed experienced applicants, People who are familiar with herding breeds That have the desire to continue working with them for more training and outdoor activities! Jingle could be a new best friend for a single active person or a couple; We love empty nests, who are still young and healthy enough to have an active puppy! And we do look for new homes or someone is at home at least part of the day because really why I get a puppy or a young dog if you’re not going to be there? We have no problem, finding homes like this, and hopefully yours can be the one for jingle if you fill out our application! Our application is on the website below and after you complete it please TEXT SARA: So I can check your app!

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!
