Adult (4 years) · Male · Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat) · 43 mi from Itasca



Butters

He is neutered, current on his shots, heartworm negative, crate trained and housetrained. He is kind hearted, incredibly obedient and loves spending time with people. Enjoys playing with other dogs and seems friendly with children. Let's give

8. Jason
Young (8 months) · Male · Great Pyrenees (medium coat) · 43 mi from Itasca



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!

9. Willow
Young (8 months) · Female · Boxer (short coat) · 43 mi from Itasca





Introducing Willow - a sweet little boxer mix from West Dallas. Willow had been observed chained in the yard with no shade or water several times and we wanted to intervene, but couldn't, other than to call the authorities. A short time later, Willow's owner lost their home and surrendered Willow to Angie's Friends, after all! What a lucky day for Willow . . . This sweet pup looks like she's a Boxer mix and she has a lot of boxer mannerisms. She's all puppy - full of energy and ready to play! Let us know if you'd like to meet Willow in person!

12. Roxy
Adult (8 years 11 months) · Female · Terrier / Mixed (medium coat) · 48 mi from Itasca



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
Read more about Roxy
Dog friendly
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?
Application available at https://www.pawsofloverescue.com/adoption-application. Adoption fee of $295 includes neuter/spay, microchip, heartworm testing, deworming, vaccinations, and other necessary procedures. Applications without a phone number will not be processed.

Adopting a dog in Itasca
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
