1. Zorro
Puppy (6 months) · Male · German Shepherd Dog / Mixed (short coat)




Hi. My name is Zorro and I am a handsome German Shepherd mix. I was found abandoned in a culvert in the country with my brother, Batman. We were being fed by the Good Samaritans who found us. We got along with all of their children and animals but we were too much for them to care for in addition to their dogs, cats, and horses. Straydog came to our rescue and we are now getting our puppy vaccinations. I am very playful and like to swim and play fetch. I never meet a stranger and would love to find my forever home. Come meet me at Straydog.

4. Messi
Puppy (5 months 24 days) · Male · Black Labrador Retriever (short coat)




Messi was abandoned at the vet when he was diagnosed with Addison's Disease. Straydog rescued him and believe that he deserves a chance for a good life just like his name sake, the famous Argentine soccer player, Lionel Messi. His disease is easily controlled with a daily steroid pill. He can live a long and happy life.
He is a typical loving little puppy. He loves to play with his toys, is affectionate, loving, and like to sit in your lap. He is leash trained and is in the process of getting all of his puppy vaccinations and will be neutered and microchipped soon.
Messi is waiting for you to come and meet him. He will melt your heart.

6. May
Young (1 year 5 months) · Female · Border Collie (medium coat)



Hi, my name is May. I was rescued with my puppies by a nice sameritian who found homes for all of them but sadly couldn't keep me so Straydog came to my rescue. I had a bad leg and needed to get it amputated, so now I am a 3-legged happy ball of joy. That doesn't stop me from running around and giving all the love I have. I am going through heartworm treatment right now, but will soon be clear to go to my fur-ever home. If you would like to meet me, contact Straydog.org.

Adopting a dog in Kaufman County
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.
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.
