Hi, I'm Brittany Ears. I'm a super sweet, adorable, cuddly and playful young dog! My fur is white and I'm believed to be a Great Pyrenees mix. I'm already taking to my training with my awesome foster family. I'm crate trained, already learning some basic commands and I'm getting pretty good at walking on a leash. I'm good with other dogs, cats and children that are friendly with me, too. I have had all of my primary vetting including being spayed, HW tested and I'm on prevention, vaccinations, and I'm microchipped. If you're looking for a great pup, fill out an application at FriscoHumaneSociety.com. There is no obligation, it just starts the conversation.

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.

14. Billie Jean
Young · Female · Bluetick Coonhound · 9 mi from The Colony




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.

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.

17. Wilson
Adult · Male · Yellow Labrador Retriever / Great Pyrenees / Mixed · 9 mi from The Colony



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.
Read more about Wilson
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.

18. Petey
Senior · Male · Terrier · 9 mi from The Colony




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.

19. Fletcher
Adult · Male · Doberman Pinscher / Mixed · 9 mi from The Colony


Meet Fletcher, a 3-year-old big goofy lovebug who is equal parts playful, loyal, and snuggly. Fletcher was found abandoned at Lake Cliff Park, where he walked right up to his finder and her Labradors, started playing, and then happily followed them home. He has been charming everyone ever since.
Read more about Fletcher
Fletcher is potty trained, crate trained, leash trained, and great with both dogs and kids. He loves people and wants to be wherever his family is. He is always up for a walk, a game of ball, or some backyard zoomies, but he also knows how to settle down and enjoy a good nap or cuddle session. His favorite things include treats, chew toys, antlers, and especially stuffed toys, which he loves to carry around and snuggle with.
His perfect day starts with a morning walk and breakfast, followed by some serious nap time. He is happy to head outside around lunch, enjoys a bigger afternoon walk, and then settles in for dinner and more snuggles before sleeping in his crate at night. Fletcher is not over-the-top high energy, but he definitely has a silly side and can get wonderfully goofy when playtime starts.
More than anything, Fletcher is just a genuinely sweet dog. He has done beautifully with every person and dog he has met and bonds closely with his people. If you are looking for a loyal companion who can make you laugh, join you on adventures, and then curl up beside you at the end of the day, Fletcher may be your guy.

20. Yuki
Puppy · Female · Hound / Mixed · 9 mi from The Colony




Still a youngster, Yuki has a mix of basic skills she's tackled, and a few more she will learn with the support of a loving and dedicated family. She's been with both adults and kids, and she's adapted well to the routine of having to take care of business on a schedule.
Partly due to her young age, she gets excited while on walks and when around other dogs. She's getting better with a guiding hand on the other end of her leash who wants to help her become her best self. Yuki wants to be a wonderful companion for a family who enjoys daily walks, whether around her neighborhood or out in the big, beautiful world.
Read more about Yuki
Playtime also matters to her. Squeaky toys and bouncy balls are Yuki favorites and she'll even play by herself for a while. But when her people walk in the door, she's there to welcome them home. It's like she's already a member of the family.

Adopting a dog in The Colony
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.
