1 of 13 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.

2 of 13 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.

3 of 13 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.
4 of 13 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.
5 of 13 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.
6 of 13 Meet Kody - SPCA of Texas
7 of 13 SPCA of Texas - Meet Auggie
Meet Auggie, a male, 1½-year-old Labrador Retriever/Catahoula mix. He has a short, smooth rusty red coat, floppy ears, expressive brown eyes and a huge smile! He takes a minute to warm up to new people, but with a little patience and some treats, he warms up quickly. He’s a super fun pup with lots of energy, so he loves showing off his running skills in the yard. Sometimes, he gets a little too excited and can't help but jump on people, so his owners will need to continue working with him on that. Overall, he is a young, goofy boy! He'll require an adult only household with a securely fenced backyard. His home will need to be a calm, quiet environment while he gets acclimated, since he can be timid in new situations. His ideal family will be active, loving, and willing to continue working with him on his confidence as well obedience training. He is his best self when he has the ability to play and socialize with other dogs, so it would awesome if he had dog sibling in the home. If not, play dates with friends' dogs are a must! He also loves sticks! Chasing after them, chewing them... he loves ‘em. He also REALLY likes chasing the water hose! Auggie’s potential adopters even get to take him on a test drive through a trial adoption to make sure it’s a great fit! Auggie is waiting to meet you at the SPCA of Texas’ Jan-Rees Jones Animal Care Center in Dallas.
8 of 13 Meet Georgia - SPCA of Texas
Meet Georgie, a male, 8½-year-old Shepherd mix. He has the BIGGEST ears you will ever see! In fact, he looks quite like a dingo! He came to SPCA of Texas as part of a cruelty case back in February. He lacked the care and socialization he needed to take on the world with confidence, but the staff at the SPCA of Texas have been teaching him all about human kindness and he’s getting braver every day! He’s looking for a calm, quiet home with adults only. He doesn’t know how to walk on leash yet, so his home should have a private, securely fenced backyard while he works on learning that! He enjoys being around other dogs, and would do great with another pup who can help him build his confidence. His adoption fee is currently $30 as part of the "Super Senior September" adoption special! Promotion ends September 30th. Georgie is waiting to meet you at the SPCA of Texas’ Jan-Rees Jones Animal Care Center in Dallas.

He came to the SPCA of Texas through a hoarding case in August, where he had to share his space with a large number of other dogs. He’s a sweet, wiggly boy looking for a home of his very own.

10 of 13 Meet Cinco - SPCA of Texas
Meet Cinco, a 3-year-old, American Pit Bull Terrier mix. He came the SPCA of Texas as a stray in July, so the staff doesn't know much about his history, just that he’s a handsome sweet boy! He’s spent some time in the staff offices and he was such a happy dog. He liked playing with toys, meeting new people, and getting lots of love and cuddles. If you want a snuggle pup, he’s your guy! He would love a house with a backyard, but he’d be okay with a low traffic apartment where he doesn’t have to walk by too many other dogs. They make him nervous, so he'll need to be the only pup in the home. He’s a friendly, fun-loving guy who will be sure to put a smile on your face and be the best buddy ever! Cinco is waiting to meet you at the SPCA of Texas’ Jan-Rees Jones Animal Care Center in Dallas.
11 of 13 Meet Cooper - SCPA Of Texas
Meet Cooper, a male, 7-year-old Shepherd mix weighing 55-pounds. He came to the SPCA of Texas almost a year ago. He and his rescue mates were living on an abandoned property in the middle of nowhere, so he was not familiar with people at all. It has been an extremely long road for him to get to trust humans, as he used to only lay on his bed, wanting nothing to do with people. Though still fearful, he is now quite the social butterfly, and as you can imagine, has stolen most of the staff's heart. He would love a calm, quiet home where he can settle in and learn what being a family pet is all about. He would do best with older children since he can still be a little unsure around lots of activity. He loves other dogs, and would do best if there is another dog with him in his new home to show him the ropes. Cooper is waiting to meet you at the SPCA of Texas’ Jan-Rees Jones Animal Care Center in Dallas.
12 of 13 Meet JJ - SPCA of Texas
Meet JJ, a male, 1-year-old Shepherd mix weighing 22-pounds. He came to the SPCA of Texas through a cruelty case and was so frightened when he arrived! Thankfully, he found an awesome foster mom who helped him learn how to be a dog. He still has some progress to make, but he’s now on the hunt for a forever home. Once he opens up, he’s a ball of fun! He loves playing in water- the water hose is his favorite thing ever. He also met a turtle in his foster home and they were best friends! He is incredibly silly, so he’s sure to put a smile on your face. Thankfully, he doesn't need anyone to entertain him- he can do that all on his own. Either with toys, or his four-legged friends. He would do best in a home with a securely fenced yard, adults only and at least one other canine friend. JJ is waiting to meet you at the SPCA of Texas’ Jan-Rees Jones Animal Care Center in Dallas.
13 of 13 SPCA of Texas - Meet Gertrude & Stefan
Meet Gertrude, a female, 2-year-old, Doberman Pinscher mix and Stefan, a male, 2-year-old, Doberman Pinscher mix. These two big, beautiful pups have sleek black coats, floppy ears and the characteristic narrow Doberman snout. That’s not all they share – Gertrude and Stefan share a whole lot of love for each other! They’re the best of friends, and the SPCA of Texas has pair bonded them so that they must find a home together. They can be a bit timid around new folks, but once they get to know you, they are huge sweethearts! They love to play together, cuddle and spend time outdoors. They are searching for a home with a large, fenced backyard where they’ll have plenty of room to run and romp around together. They’d do best as the only dogs and would prefer to share their home with teen and adult humans only. Gertrude and Stefan are waiting to meet you at the SPCA of Texas’ Jan Rees-Jones Animal Care Center in Dallas.
