1. Roxy

Adult (8 years 11 months) · Female · Terrier / Mixed (medium coat) · 36 mi from Burleson

Meet this precious girl ROXY!! At 9 years young, she has so much love left to give. She’s a gentle, sweet soul who is a little afraid of the big world around her. In fact, she’s so timid that even her own shadow can be a little scary!

But here’s the beautiful thing about her… with a little patience, kindness, and love, she’s beginning to blossom!

She has been in foster care for about three weeks, and every day she’s showing a little more of her personality. She’s even starting to come out of her shell and initiate play with my dogs! Watching her confidence grow has been such a joy.

✨ A few things to love about her:

Potty trained

Crate trained

Cat friendly

Very sweet and gentle

Starting to enjoy playtime with other dogs

She will need a patient, loving home that understands she may take a little time to feel comfortable. She isn’t the dog who will run up and greet everyone right away. She’s the girl who needs someone to earn her trust, give her reassurance, and let her blossom at her own pace.

But imagine being the person who finally shows her that she’s safe, loved, and HOME. ❤️

Roxy just needs someone willing to give her that chance.

Could you be her happily ever after?

2. Delaney

Adult (2 years) · Female · Great Pyrenees (long coat) · 39 mi from Burleson

Adopt Delaney! She is a very sweet Great Pyrenees with a tragic backstory. We believe she is around 2 yrs old, and is currently underweight at 65lbs, we are working on getting some weight on her.

Delaney was found stuck in a dumpster where she couldn't get out, we believe she went in looking for food. Her female Pyrenees companion (Lilly, also available for adoption with SPIN Rescue) was waiting outside the dumpster staying by Delaneys side. They were both covered in fleas and had clearly spent a lot of time on the streets together.

Read more about Delaney

Despite her history, Delaney is a happy affectionate dog that loves people, sometimes more than food! She is great with kids too. She lovings giving and getting love. She greets strangers with enthusiasm.

She takes treats gently and knows how to 'Sit'.

She is good with dogs of all sizes and even cats.

Sometimes Delaney needs some encouragement to come inside, but once you give her a little sweet talking she comes in with a tail wag and smile. When she gets overwhelmed she finds a little corner to tuck into but won't stay there for long.

She is great on a leash, does well with new people, kids and dogs she meets while out. She did really well at a brewery for our adoption event.

Delaney needs a little encouragement to load up into a car but then rides well, after realizing you don't need her help driving.

She is house trained and has a medium energy level.

Delaney is spayed. Her adoption fee is $250. She is currently in a foster home in Dallas / Ft Worth area of Texas. We do adopt out of state and can help arrange transport, adopters will be responsible for transportation costs.

3. Winky

Adult · Female · Terrier · 46 mi from Burleson

Meet Winky, a playful, loving 1-year-old girl with striking two-colored eyes, beautiful dappled markings, and a wonderfully silly personality.

Winky is a social butterfly who does well with dogs of all sizes, cats with a proper introduction, and children. She loves long walks, running, sniffing around the yard, playing chase, tug, and carrying around stuffed toys. She is potty trained, leash trained, treat motivated, and still working on keeping her excitement in check during play.

Read more about Winky

After the fun is over, Winky is more than happy to curl up on the couch with her people. She is equal parts cuddler and loyal shadow, and she has even been known to sleep so deeply that she rolls right off the couch!

Winky can be a little nervous in unfamiliar or overwhelming environments, so she'll do best with a family willing to give her time to settle in and build confidence. In return, you'll get a goofy, affectionate adventure buddy who is always ready to play, explore, and snuggle.

All Dallas Pets Alive adoptable pets are spayed or neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines upon adoption.

4. Livvy Lulu Coming Soon

Young (9 months) · Female · Siberian Husky (medium coat) · 39 mi from Burleson

Livvy Lulu is an adorable 8–9-month-old husky girl weighing around 28–32 pounds, and she’s ready to show the world just how much love and personality she has to give. Livvy came into rescue in an emaciated condition, so her foster family is helping her safely gain weight and get stronger. Even after a difficult start, this silly puppy is full of joy, curiosity, and affection.

Livvy is wonderfully dog-friendly and loves all dogs. She also does well with cats and could happily be an only dog, making her a flexible fit for many different families. She’s best suited for a home with older children.

Read more about Livvy Lulu Coming Soon

This clever girl is house trained and crate trained. She’s surprisingly calm for a puppy, but she still loves to play, whether she’s entertaining herself, romping with another dog, or engaging with her people. Livvy is adventurous, athletic, playful, talkative, and wonderfully goofy. She’s also very smart and food-motivated, which should make training lots of fun.

Livvy absolutely loves to snuggle and will happily curl up with her favorite people after playtime. She has a sweet, affectionate nature with an independent little streak that gives her plenty of personality.

Livvy is currently working on feeling comfortable around her food bowl. She may growl when someone approaches while she’s eating, but she allows her foster family to touch the bowl and has not tried to bite. Her foster is working with her on this behavior, and she has no issues with treats or toys. Her future family should continue using patient, positive training and give her space while she eats.

Livvy Lulu hasn’t shown any interest in escaping the yard, but she’ll still need normal supervision and a secure outdoor area. With her loving personality, puppy silliness, and cuddly nature, Livvy is ready to find a family who will help her continue to thrive.

If you’re looking for a sweet, smart, snuggly puppy with a goofy side and lots of love to give, Livvy Lulu may be your perfect match.

6. Bailey

Adult (5 years) · Male · Great Pyrenees / Mixed (long coat) · 39 mi from Burleson

Adopt Bailey! He is a male Great Pyrenees, around 4-6 years old and 90lbs. Found dumped in a rural neighborhood, his foster family took him in and got him healthy. Now he is looking for a forever home.

Bailey is very people friendly. He loves attention and belly rubs. He does well with kids and babies. With strangers he can be cautious or bark at first but quickly accepts love once he realizes they are kind.

Read more about Bailey

Bailey tolerates female dogs and will play well but he takes some time to warm up. Slow introductions are best. He has not done well with male dogs in the past, especially if they are not neutered. He has some leash reactivity to dogs while on walks.

He is indifferent to the neighborhood cats.

Overall he is a calm and lazy guy. Enjoys the occasional tug of war game with a rope toy. He is great about reading the room and matching your mood.

Bailey LOVES car rides and getting a pup cup at Starbucks. He even did great on a boat outing! He also does well at the groomers.

He is smart and has quickly picked up commands such as 'Sit', 'Stay', and 'Lay Down'. He's mastered the Pyr Paw and if that doesn't work, he will use his nose to lift your hand.

Like a typical Pyrenees, he does bark when people or dogs walk by the house. He is house trained, but has marked the house when anxious in the past.

Bailey is a loveable dog that just wants to be loved in return.

He is neutered and up to date on vaccines. His adoption fee is $250. Currently he is in a foster home in DFW area of Texas. We are happy to work with out of state adopters if they arrange their own transport.

Phoenix is around 14 to 15 weeks old. He’s had two rounds of shots dewormed several times has been being kept in Foster as an indoor family pet where he’s also become crate trained and 90% housebroken.

Phoenix is really playful. He has an above average energy level - it’s normal for a puppy. It’s just seven or eight out of 10. Phoenix absolutely loves playing with his little brother and the big Foster dogs that he’s been staying with!

Phoenix is smart and eager to please; he’s just learning some commands and all about fetch and retrieve.

Phoenix is also a cuddler; he’s still young enough of a puppy where he runs around for 15 or 20 minutes then he’s wiped out for a few hours for a good nap and there’s nothing he loves more than hanging with his humans!

8. Petey

Senior · Male · Terrier · 46 mi from Burleson

Meet Petey, a 5-year-old gentle giant who is happiest simply being close to his people. Petey is loving, affectionate, and incredibly easy to bond with. His love language is absolutely "your shadow," and if you are nearby, that is exactly where he wants to be. He is potty trained, crate trained, leash trained, and currently lives with two small dogs who he loves to play with. In his previous home, he also lived successfully with five cats, and he does well with kids too.

Read more about Petey

Petey has a nice balance of playful energy and calm downtime. He enjoys gentle wrestling, chasing around the yard, going for walks, chewing on bones or toys, and joining in whenever another dog wants to play. Once the fun is over, he settles easily and is perfectly happy lounging on his mat as long as his family is nearby. He is inquisitive, loves a new adventure, and seems to feel most secure when he knows he is part of the action.

Petey's story has had some unexpected turns. He was once scheduled for euthanasia at Dallas Animal Services before being adopted, but when his previous owner later lost his housing and could no longer care for him, Petey once again found himself needing a safe place to land. Through it all, he has remained an incredibly gentle, loving dog who bonds easily with both people and other pets.

His ideal home would include plenty of companionship, room to play, regular walks, lots of snuggle time, and possibly another dog or two to share life with. If you are looking for a sweet, social dog who wants nothing more than to love his family and be included in everything, Petey may be your perfect match.

All Dallas Pets Alive adoptable pets are spayed or neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines upon adoption.

Onyx originally came to Dallas Pets Alive through our Dogs Matter program while his owner focused on recovery. Ultimately, his owner made the loving decision to surrender him so he could have the stability and future he deserves.

Read more about Onyx

Onyx is crate trained, potty trained, leash trained, and does well with kids, cats, and other dogs. He enjoys playing ball, running outside, and chasing around with canine friends, but he also appreciates plenty of downtime. He is very intelligent, curious, and deeply connected to his people. His foster describes him as a gentle giant who loves to keep watch over the home and will happily alert you when someone comes to the door.

More than anything, Onyx is a devoted companion. He loves being near his humans, has stayed close during difficult moments, and truly seems to take his role as protector seriously. He is also quite the talker and is not shy about joining the conversation. If you are looking for a loyal, playful, affectionate dog who will stick close by your side, Onyx may be your guy.

MEET KATIE A Loving Australian Shepherd and Cattle Dog Mix
Katie is a 4-year-old Australian Shepherd–Australian Cattle Dog mix who has been patiently waiting for her person, couple, or family to find her. She has watched so many of the dogs in her shelter-foster home come and go, and EVERYONE on staff—from volunteers to animal control officers, vet techs, and fosters—agrees. It’s absolutely time for Katie to have a family to love her!
Katie is the perfect medium-sized combination of two wonderful breeds, weighing just 45 pounds fully grown.
Katie is very mellow once she settles in. When she first comes out of her kennel, she may run off a few initial zoomies, but after that, she is content to relax and play with her toys. And Katie absolutely LOVES toys! Stuffed toys, hard chews, squeaky toys, crinkle toys—she enjoys them all!
More About Katie
* Mellow and affectionate: Katie settles in nicely and enjoys spending time with her people.* A toy lover: She is happy to play with just about any kind of toy.* Great with dogs: Katie enjoys having canine friends.* Respectful of cats: She has lived appropriately around cats.* Wonderful on leash: Volunteers say she walks beautifully.* Gentle with treats: Katie takes treats politely.* Excellent kennel manners: She rarely has an accident in her kennel.* Communicative: When she is in the office, she vocalizes to let staff know when she needs to go outside.
The Animal Control Officers say Katie is one of their favorites and that she is the whole package! She is a special girl with so much love and companionship to offer.
Katie will need a thoughtful and patient adopter who understands the importance of decompression, including the 3-3-3 rule. She is very responsive to the energy level of her people and often uses body language to communicate.
Katie has shown herself to be great with dogs, respectful of cats, and a wonderful companion once she has settled in and become comfortable in her new environment.
Could Katie Be Your Girl?
Katie has spent far too long waiting for someone to see what a wonderful dog she is. She would love a home where she can enjoy her toys, relax with her people, go for walks, and continue building confidence at her own pace.
If you are looking for a mellow, playful, dog-friendly companion with excellent manners and a HUGE love of toys, Katie may be the perfect match for you!

Young (8 months) · Male · Great Pyrenees (medium coat) · 29 mi from Burleson

Jason is kind of a special case.

He's been living in a cramped back yard with SIX other great pyrs.

As you can imagine, quarters are tight and these dogs don't get much individual attention. It's not a healthy situation for these dogs. But, Jason is young and while he's very shy and in need of a kind soul to help build his confidence, he's also super sweet and gentle.

Jason is getting accustomed to some of the regulars of being a dog, like learning how to walk on a leash, so he has a lot to learn, but he likes to please

All he needs is a little investment from you - he'll pay you back in spades!

At just 2 weeks old, this sweet German Shepherd mix puppy was dumped in a box in rural South Texas in August, when temperatures are absolutely scorching. These tiny babies were helpless and far too young to survive on their own, but thankfully, someone found them just in time and took them home to foster until our rescue could step in.

21. Bree

Puppy (5 months 18 days) · Female · Siberian Husky (medium coat) · 39 mi from Burleson

Bree is a sweet 20-week-old puppy who weighs about 28 pounds and has a gentle, curious spirit. With a lower energy level, she enjoys exploring and playing, but she’s also happy to take things at her own pace and relax with her people.

Bree is adventurous, playful, and smart, though she can be shy when she encounters new people or situations. She will need a family who is patient and committed to helping her build confidence through plenty of positive socialization and new experiences. Her personality is still developing, and with the right guidance, she has so much potential to blossom.

Read more about Bree

Bree is cat-friendly and loves all dogs. She could also be happy as an only dog, as long as she receives regular opportunities for safe socialization and canine companionship. She hasn’t been around children yet, so any introductions should be thoughtful and supervised.

Bree is potty trained but is not yet crate trained. She hasn’t shown any interest in escaping the yard and is ready to keep learning the routines and skills that will help her grow into a confident companion.

If you’re looking for a smart, playful puppy and are ready to help a shy little girl discover how wonderful the world can be, Bree may be the perfect match.

23. Dorothy

Female · Boston Terrier · 32 mi from Burleson

Dorothy, our Golden Girl, is a complete sweetheart! She was originally found in a drainage ditch in Ft. Smith, AR, and when no owner came forward to claim her, she joined our Foster Gang in Texas.

Dorothy is an older lady, and as such, her sight and hearing are not 100%, but she is full of life and has a terrific attitude - unless you try to wipe her face, which is NOT her favorite thing, and she'll let you know it.

Read more about Dorothy

Her initial vetting has been taken care of, but she's still got some things that need to be taken care of, so she isn't available for adoption right this minute. We will, however, be accepting applications so she will hopefully have a home ready and waiting for her after she's completely cleared by the vet for adoption.

Dorothy is available for our Seniors for Seniors adoption program.

Blaze came from the tiny town of Tulia, Texas Where he had been at their impound and shelter a few weeks.

Read more about Blaze

He’s so gentle and quiet he was prioritized to be kept alive to wait for the right Rescue group; They don’t do adoptions directly.
As soon as I saw him I fell in love with his extremely unique markings and gentle looking face.
He rarely barks And he gets along with all of the dogs, both of mine and Foster dogs that have come in and out for a night or two.
Blaze is really ready for a forever home with someone, compassionate and patient. He’s just been living indoors for the past month and will need time for a lease training and other group activities.
Right now he’d be the ideal Companion for a home with or without another dog and he shows no prey drive as far as cats. Blaze is very gentle, but doesn’t seem like he would be very fun for children.
Blaze is housebroken, he does not need a crate, is very affectionate with people he knows and just calm and quiet with new faces.

Meet Enzo!
❤️

Enzo is a 2-year-old, big-hearted, goofy, and incredibly sweet boy who brings laughter and love wherever he goes!

With an energy level of
8/10
, Enzo is always ready for an adventure, a game of chase, or some good old-fashioned fun. He especially loves high-energy dogs who enjoy running, playing, and roughhousing. His favorite companions are often Whippets and other playful pups who can keep up with his energetic spirit.

Enzo is part yoga master, part little fox, part seal—and maybe even half cat! He loves curling himself into a tiny ball, performing surprise barrel rolls, giving gentle little love nibbles, and sleeping with his back feet in the air. His silly quirks will keep you smiling, while his affectionate nature will quickly steal your heart.

Enzo is smart, eager to learn, and already knows several commands. He’s also a wonderful travel companion and does beautifully on car rides—even those lasting 10 hours!

Enzo is looking for a loving home with someone who understands and appreciates his energy. He’ll thrive with plenty of exercise, playtime, companionship, and mental stimulation. He can experience separation anxiety, especially when he hasn’t had an outlet for his energy, so he needs a family willing to support him with patience, structure, and understanding.

Enzo generally does well with other dogs and enjoys doggy daycare and dog parks. He does best with larger, energetic dogs who enjoy rough play, though he also has experience with smaller, calmer dogs. On walks, he may become leash-reactive if another dog lunges at him, and he needs a thoughtful handler who can help him navigate those encounters. He typically prefers to avoid conflict and will walk away when possible, but he has shown aggression toward dogs that bully or challenge him.

Enzo has so much love, laughter, and adventure to give. He’s ready to find his forever family!
❤️

Could you be the person Enzo has been waiting for?

26. Greta

Senior · Female · Terrier · 46 mi from Burleson

Greta's a grand ol' gal who enjoys a calm day today, tomorrow, and for years to come. This ten-year-old lady enjoys dogs, cats, and kids who are equally relaxed. She'll play with her ball in the yard, which will be followed by a fabulous nap.

In her history, Greta developed a taste for food - any food, every food - and is notorious for sneaking into cabinets and cans to get her paws on some. She's good in her crate and it's a smart place to keep Greta out of her mischievous ways when she's home alone. Softer foods may be best for her senior teeth.

Read more about Greta

Greta's vision is limited so being close to her family keeps her calm and feeling safe. Her bright smile every morning brightens her home as much as the rising sun. During her sunset years, having a cozy, calm, and caring home will bring her as much joy as she'll bring you.

27. Janet

Senior · Female · Black Labrador Retriever / Mixed · 46 mi from Burleson

At 12 years young, Janet has perfected the art of the good life: slow sniffy walks, cozy beds, and staying as close to her favorite human as physically possible.

Janet is a calm, gentle senior girl who loves everyone she meets. She's good with dogs, pretty much ignores cats, and is great with kids. She's potty trained, crate trained, walks beautifully on leash, and has absolutely no interest in making life complicated. Toys? Eh. A cheeseburger? Maybe. Curling up in bed with you and following you from room to room? Now we're talking.

Read more about Janet

Janet was once sitting in a shelter with no interest and at the top of the euthanasia list. Thankfully, her foster saw that sweet face and knew she still had so much life and love left to give. She arrived nervous and unsure, but watching her learn to trust again has been pretty special. Now she sleeps in her foster's bed, curls up in their lap, and happily follows them everywhere.

Janet doesn't need much from her forever home. Give her a comfy place to sleep, a leisurely sniff walk, plenty of cuddles, and a human to call her own. She'll take care of the rest by being your sweetest little shadow.

Meet Dobby!1 yes old

Dobby is a young Terrier mix with an incredible story of resilience. At just four months old, he was thrown from a moving car on an Oklahoma highway. It was uncertain whether he would survive, but Dobby proved just how strong and determined he is. Today, he’s healthy, happy, and ready to find the forever family he deserves.

This fun-loving boy has plenty of energy and would thrive in a home with a yard and a family that will keep both his body and mind engaged. Whether it’s hiking, playing fetch, learning new tricks, or going on adventures, Dobby is always ready to join in.

Read more about Dobby

Dobby is wonderfully social and gets along well with other dogs—and even cats! He’s playful, affectionate, and always up for a game, but when the excitement winds down, he’s just as happy to curl up next to his favorite people for cuddles.

Dobby is a happy, loving companion who is eager to please and full of personality.

After everything he’s overcome, Dobby is ready for the happy ending he’s been waiting for. Could your home be the one he’s been dreaming of?

29. Rosie

Senior · Female · Shepherd / Mixed (short coat) · 28 mi from Burleson

❤️ MEET ROSIE — 14 MONTHS OF WAITING… NOW SHE NEEDS HER FOREVER HOME ❤️
Rosie’s life has not been easy.
Her family left her at a shelter, and for 14 long months, Rosie waited behind those kennel doors. Day after day, people walked past her. More than a year went by, and nobody gave her a chance.
Finally, Trinity Gap Rescue said, “Enough.” Rosie was pulled from the shelter and is now safe in a foster home. ❤️
But foster care is only the beginning of her new life. Rosie still needs a family of her very own.
Rosie is 7 years old, about 50 pounds, fully vetted, spayed and a Shepherd mix.
She is an incredibly sweet girl who craves human love and attention.

Read more about Rosie

After spending so much time alone in a kennel, she just wants to be close to her people. ❤️
And guess what? Rosie LOVES CATS!
For now, we believe Rosie would be happiest as the only dog in the home, giving her the time and space she needs to fully decompress and finally understand that she is safe.
Rosie has a wonderfully calm, chill demeanor and can be left alone in the house. She could be a great fit for either a house or an apartment.
Rosie has already lost more than a year of her life waiting behind bars. We cannot let her spend the rest of her life waiting for someone to choose her.
Could you be Rosie’s second chance?
If you are interested in adopting Rosie or would like to learn more about her, please email:

Bringing a dog home to your cat

Tell the rescue about your cat: their age and how they react to dogs. A dog who has lived calmly with one cat may still want to chase a cat that runs.

Introduce them slowly. Keep them apart for the first few days and swap bedding so they get used to each other's scent, then let them meet with the dog on a leash, rewarding calm behavior.

Make sure the cat can always get somewhere the dog can't reach, like a high shelf or a room behind a baby gate, and keep the litter box and cat food out of the dog's way.
