3. Nya
Adult · Female · Shepherd / Mixed · 11 mi from Frisco




Meet Nya, a 2.5-year-old sweetheart who is goofy, gentle, and happiest when she gets to be part of whatever her people are doing. She was found as a stray and landed at Dallas Animal Services before being given a second chance in foster care. Since then, Nya has shown just how adaptable and affectionate she is. She does well with kids and other dogs, though she tends to prefer hanging out with her humans or doing her own thing rather than constantly playing.
Read more about Nya
Nya has a great balance of energy and downtime. She enjoys daily walks, sniffing around the neighborhood, chasing balls, and working on training, but she is also perfectly happy to nap while you work and curl up on the couch afterward. She is potty trained, has done well loose in the home, and knows several commands including sit, stay, down, shake, and place.
At home, Nya is an affectionate shadow with a silly streak. She loves treats, squeaky toys, cuddling, and keeping watch out the window for anything worth reporting. She is also an adventurous explorer, so a securely fenced yard is important, and small critters like squirrels, rabbits, and cats are definitely tempting. If you are looking for a sweet, playful dog who can join you for adventures and then happily settle in for a lazy evening, Nya may be your perfect match.

6. Delaney
Adult (2 years) · Female · Great Pyrenees (long coat) · 23 mi from Frisco






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.

17. Lilly
Adult (4 years 11 months) · Female · Great Pyrenees (long coat) · 23 mi from Frisco






Meet Lilly! She is an incredibly sweet dog with a heartbreaking backstory. Estimated to be around 4-6 yrs old, she came into SPIN rescue clearly starving, very underweight at 70lbs, we think a healthy weight would be around 90-100lbs.
Lilly was found on the street near a dumpster. Her female Great Pyrenees companion (Delaney, also now with SPIN Rescue) had gotten stuck inside the dumpster and Lilly was loyal, staying nearby, waiting for her friend to be rescued.
Read more about Lilly
A vet has confirmed Lilly has had multiple litters of puppies in the past. We also believe she was abused at some point as she is very sensitive to pressure on her neck/collar and starts to panic. She has some scarring on her nose and legs, either from abuse or her time on the streets.
Now safe in her foster home, she has been the sweetest, calmest, most amazing dog.
She absolutely adores children and follows the 8yr boy around the house, he is her favorite. She has a very calm relaxed demeanor, low energy. She can be shy with adult strangers but once she realizes they are kind, she has loved everyone she's met. She does enjoy snuggling and will rest in your lap.
Lilly was reserved at first, but now thats she's getting more comfortable she has been more playful and even got the zoomies. She enjoys putting her feet in the pool.
She has been great with all dogs. Lilly will need another dog in her forever home, as she bonds strongly with dogs. (If you don't have one, you can also adopt Delaney, who she was found with)
Regarding cats, she has gotten better and now gets along well with cats on her foster home's property but is not a fan of strange cats. She does well with livestock too but is ready for the inside life.
She is mostly house trained, we think she will have it down by time she is adopted. We do not walk her on leash, as she is sensitive to pressure on the collar - she becomes scared and wants to get away. Fencing in her home will need to be secure as she can be a runner. She overall doesn't bark but when she does its justified.
Lilly has been through a lot in her life, she deserves the best. Her adopters will need to have some patience at first but she warms up quickly and will love you with all her heart.
Lilly is now spayed. Her adoption fee is $250. She is in a foster home in DFW area of Texas. We do adopt out of state and can recommend transport organizations.

23. Billie Jean
Young · Female · Bluetick Coonhound · 11 mi from Frisco




Meet Billie Jean, a 1-year-old Blue Tick Coonhound mix who is playful, goofy, and always ready to be part of the action. She loves walks, treats, toys, and making the rounds to check in on all of her neighborhood friends. Billie does well with kids, cats, and other dogs, and especially enjoys having a playful canine buddy who can match her energy. She can be a little shy with new people or unfamiliar places, but once she warms up, she is incredibly sweet and affectionate.
Read more about Billie Jean
Billie is high-energy, treat-motivated, leash trained, and potty trained. She would happily walk the same two blocks all day if you let her, and she loves playing with other dogs. She does best with dogs who enjoy her lanky, enthusiastic play style and is very respectful when another animal gives her a correction. Billie would likely thrive in a home with another larger dog to help show her the ropes. She does have separation anxiety and can be quite vocal when left alone, so a home without shared walls would be ideal.
Billie came into care underweight and scared, and while she has made great progress, she will need a patient family willing to help her continue building confidence and security. She is also heartworm positive and has already completed the first half of treatment. Her future family will need to help her finish treatment with veterinary guidance, which is included in her adoption fee. If you are looking for a loyal shadow with velvet ears, a big personality, and a whole lot of love to give, Billie Jean may be your girl.

Hi, I'm Pedro, and yes, the smile is real. I know, it's pretty adorable. I'm a 3-year-old Boston Terrier boy weighing in at a perfectly portable 30 pounds, and my favorite hobby is being wherever you are. Going to the kitchen? I'll supervise. Watching TV? I'll be your cuddle buddy. Taking a car ride? Call me your co-pilot. I love absolutely everyone I meet and make friends faster than you can say, "good boy." Dogs? Love them. Cats? Love them too. Kids? Yep, they're great! My foster cat sibling and foster doggy brother are some of my favorite pals, especially when it's time to play outside.Speaking of playtime, I love running around the yard, hanging out with my doggy friends, and showing off my excellent recall. But don't let that fool you into thinking I'm some wild party animal. I'm actually a pretty relaxed dude who believes life is all about balance: a little play, a little adventure, and a whole lot of snuggling. I've got all the important grown-up skills, too. I'm house trained, crate trained, leash trained, and even know how to use a doggy door. Basically, I'm the total package. My dream home? One where I'm loved, included in the fun, and maybe have a furry sibling or two to hang out with. In return, I'll provide companionship, cuddles, smiles, and expert-level shadowing services. So, what do you think? Ready to have the cutest sidekick you've ever met? I know I can't wait to meet my forever family. My adoption fee is $400.

28. Wilson
Adult · Male · Yellow Labrador Retriever / Great Pyrenees / Mixed · 11 mi from Frisco



Meet Wilson: a sweet soul looking for a little patience and a whole lot of love!
Wilson is an adult lab mix with a gentle heart. He's sharing his foster home with four other dogs and a 5-year-old boy, and he gets along wonderfully with everyone. His sweet, submissive nature makes him easy to root for, and even easier to love.
Wilson is still learning that a leash doesn't have to be scary. With support from his foster family and a trainer, he's working through that fear and building confidence. He's looking for a patient family who will continue that work, celebrate his progress, and let him learn at his own pace.

A home with a securely fenced yard would be the best fit, giving Wilson room to enjoy being a dog while keeping everyday leash pressure low as he learns.
Wilson is neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and heart worm negative. All he's missing is a family to call his own.
If you have a little patience, a yard, and room in your heart for a sweet boy finding his courage, Wilson would love to meet you.

29. Livvy Lulu Coming Soon
Young (9 months) · Female · Siberian Husky (medium coat) · 15 mi from Frisco


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.

Read more about Peter
He was born with both male and female reproductive anatomy, a condition sometimes called intersex or hermaphroditism. He has been neutered, and although his anatomy may look a little different, it is nonfunctioning and does not stop him from living a full, joyful life.
Peter does not know that he is different—he only knows that he has affection, loyalty, and plenty of playful energy to share. He is ready for a family who will see the wonderful dog he is and give him the safe, loving home he deserves. In return, Peter will be a devoted companion and a cherished best friend.

Why adopt an adult dog in Frisco
An adult dog's personality is fully formed, so the rescue can tell you how they are with people, other pets and busy households. Many have lived in foster homes and are already house-trained.
Grown dogs need less supervision than puppies and often know the basics, like sitting and walking on a leash, which suits people who work or have young children.
