1 of 8 Meet Apollo - SPCA of Texas
Meet Apollo, a 2½-year-old, male Mixed Breed dog weighing 43-pounds. He’s a sweet, shy guy looking for a home of his very own. He came to the SPCA of Texas from a cruelty case in 2019. Due to his past, he can be fearful and shy in new situations but warms up quickly. Once he gets to know you, he is just SO excited to see you! In his foster home, he was friendly and well behaved around visitors- everyone loved his hilarious facial expressions! He seems to be completely house trained, and left alone uncrated, he didn't make any messes or tear anything up. He does really well on walks and rides well in the car, too. He would do best in a home as the only dog. If you’re looking for a loving boy to spend time with, he’s the one for you! Apollo has been neutered, microchipped and has received all age-appropriate vaccinations. In an effort to reduce the potential for COVID-19 to spread to more people via gatherings of people and protect the health and well-being of the animals in our care, our staff and volunteers, as well as our community, the SPCA of Texas is closing our shelters to the public through at least Sunday, April 5. We will continue to offer adoptions on an appointment basis, as we continue to have many wonderful animals in need of new homes. Customers are allowed to meet up to three animals per appointment. Please visit spca.org/dogadopt to make an appointment to meet a dog or spca.org/catadopt to make an appointment to meet a cat. Appointment hours are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m daily. Regular adoption fees are $150 for puppies and kittens aged 0-6 months and $75 for adult dogs and cats aged 6 months or older. Fee includes spay/neuter surgery, age-appropriate vaccinations, a heartworm test for dogs six months and older and a FIV/FeLV test for cats 4 months and older, initial flea/tick preventative and heartworm preventative, a microchip, 30 days of PetHealth Insurance provided by PetHealth, a free 14-day wellness exam with VCA Animal Hospitals, a rabies tag and a free leash.

2 of 8 Meet Freckles-SPCA of TEXAS
Meet Freckles, an 11-year-old, female Shepherd mix weighing 53-pounds. She has a short, smooth coat that is mostly white with touches of charcoal on her eyes and little grey freckles on her face – hence her name! With perky triangle ears, brown eyes and a curled tail, she’s quite the cute little lady. She can be shy around new people, but has gained a lot of confidence since coming to the SPCA of Texas. She’s working on learning to walk on a leash, trusting people and making friends with other dogs. She would love a calm, quiet home where she can continue building her trust with people and take it easy. She’s sweet, gentle and affectionate once she gets to know you, and will be a loyal and loving girl to anyone who gives her time to settle in. If you’re looking for an older lady to enjoy quiet time with, she’s the one for you! Freckles is waiting to meet you at the SPCA of Texas’ Jan Rees-Jones Animal Care Center in Dallas. Please visit spca.org/dogadopt to make an appointment to meet her.
3 of 8 Meet Scooter - SPCA of TEXAS
4 of 8 Meet Lane - SPCA of Texas
Meet Lane, a 2 year old black and white Boxer mix. He has a beautiful short, silky coat with the sweetest, beckoning eyes. Lane is a very active dog and needs an adopter who is just as active. He needs a home with a securely fenced back yard where he can run and play until his heart is content. He can sometimes be protective of his food, so it is best not to have other pets in the home. He will do well in a home with no children under age 16 as he wants to share his love with humans with no distractions from other pets. If you’re looking for an energetic guy to love and play with, Lane is the one for you! He’s waiting to meet you at the SPCA of Texas’ Russell H. Perry Animal Care Center in McKinney. Please visit spca.org/dogadopt to make an appointment to meet her.
5 of 8 MEET January - SPCA of Texas
Meet January. January is a female Retriever/Labrador mix and is 2½ years old. She is a medium-sized dog with the most beautiful shiny brown coat with white on her chest and chin and weighs 32 pounds. January has had a rough life; she was one of 20 dogs seized from a hoarding situation. X-rays revealed metal fragments on various parts of her body from gunshot which caused blindness in one eye. She is heartworm positive and is currently on activity restrictions. January will need special attention as she is very timid, but is learning to trust people. She may flinch when you touch her and she is sensitive to noise. She needs a home that is quiet and calm and has a fenced back yard. She also needs to live with adults only. She is on medication, so her adopter will need to administer her meds. If you’re looking for a sweet little gal to be your couch companion, January is the one for you! She is waiting to meet you at the SPCA of Texas’ Russell H. Perry Animal Care Center in McKinney.
6 of 8 Meet Mooney - SPCA of Texas
Meet Mooney, an almost 4-year-old, large mixed-breed dog. He has a short, smooth white coat with black floppy ears, black around his eyes, and black spots throughout the body. He’s a sweet, handsome boy and needs a home that is super quiet. He needs an adopter that is very patient as he came from a puppy mill/hoarding situation and is still shy and fearful. His is on daily medication that he will take indefinitely. Mooney is a special boy and will have to be fostered for 30 days before you officially adopt him. This will give him and his adopter time to see if they’re the right fit. If you have kids, they need to be over 12 years old and understand that they must be patient with Mooney, but he may be better suited for a home with adults only. If you’re looking for a big guy to show love to and to help him overcome his fears, he is the one for you! Mooney is waiting to meet you at the SPCA of Texas’ Russell H. Perry Animal Care Center in McKinney.
7 of 8 Meet Chunk - SPCA of Texas
Meet Chunk, a 2 ½-year-old, male Pit Bull mix. He’s a lovable and loyal guy looking for some humans to be best buddies with. His previous owner said he knows several commands (if you pay him in treats), rides well in the car, and is house trained. He is pretty spoiled by the staff at the shelter and they usually let him hang out with them in their office! He loves tennis balls! Chasing them, chewing them- they're just so much fun. If getting attention is considered a hobby, it’s definitely his! Because he LOVES people, hanging out with the humans is how he likes to spend most of his time. He’ll need a home with a private, securely fenced yard and adults only please! He would also do best as the only pet in the home, but he promises he’ll bring all the love you’ll need! Potential adopters are able to take him on a test drive through a trial adoption! Meet and greets are by appointment only, so contact Foster@spca.org to schedule.
8 of 8 Meet Gloria - SPCA of Texas
Meet Gloria, a 2½ year old beautiful Blue Domestic Shorthair kitty cat. She has mesmerizing yellow eyes that will have you swooning over her. Gloria came to the SPCA of Texas from another shelter so we don’t have much background information on her. She is shy when you first meet her, but give her some food and brush her pretty coat and she comes alive! She loves this and will be purring in no time. Despite her shyness, she’s very talkative and needs a human who will let her express herself. She needs a calm environment with a bed that she can hide out in and will need some calming mist sprayed on her bed and blankets. She would do well with another cat in the home, but prefers no kids under age 12. If you’re looking for a beautiful kitty cat to show love to and to help her overcome her shyness, then Gloria is the one for you! She is waiting to meet you at the SPCA of Texas’ Jan Rees-Jones Animal Care Center in Dallas.
