1. Zeus

Adult · Male · Rottweiler / Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat) · 13 mi from Grand Prairie

URGENT! FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME NEEDED! ❤️

Meet Zeus, a handsome 18-month-old Labrador/Rottweiler mix who is desperately hoping for a second chance.

Zeus ended up at the shelter because his young owner was unable to care for him. Now, this sweet boy is heartbroken. @

Zeus cries nonstop in his kennel, confused about why he is there and longing for someone to love him again.

But outside his kennel, Zeus shows what a wonderful dog he truly is!

Very dog-friendly! He loves playing with other dogs.

Loves to play fetch! He’s always ready for some fun.

3. Roxy

Adult (8 years 11 months) · Female · Terrier / Mixed (medium coat) · 15 mi from Grand Prairie

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

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?

9. Delaney

Adult (2 years) · Female · Great Pyrenees (long coat) · 18 mi from Grand Prairie

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.

14. Lilly

Adult (4 years 11 months) · Female · Great Pyrenees (long coat) · 18 mi from Grand Prairie

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.

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.

27. Bailey

Adult (5 years) · Male · Great Pyrenees / Mixed (long coat) · 18 mi from Grand Prairie

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
This beautiful puppy Phoenix and his brother were brought into an East Texas Shelter that we work with; as soon as we got the call and the photos he got vetted and quarantined and is ready for a FOREVER home!

Read more about Phoenix

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!

Beautiful Phoenix will be at DASH in Dallas this weekend. We are hoping to find the right family for him for this Halloween and daylight savings weekend!
It will be darker. It will be colder. What could be better than a puppy to warm up you and your family!

Ideally, he would go to a home with another young, active playful dog he, he’s a great playmate and Canine Companion

Why adopt an adult dog in Grand Prairie

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.
