SPCA Pet Adoption, February 2, 2025


 


The SPCA of Texas Dallas Animal Care Center is open for adoptions every day from noon to 6:00 PM. Animals are available by walk-in on a first-come, first-served basis. Appointments are also available for select animals. Animals at the Jan Rees-Jones building don't need an appointment. Some of the SPCA dogs up for adoption are temporarily housed in the Russell E. Dealey Rescue Center. This overflow area for adoptable animals is nearby but is accessible by appointment only. Please browse available animals at spca.org/findapet and visit spca.org/dogadopt to inquire about a dog or spca.org/catadopt to inquire about a cat.

 

These adult dogs and adult cats are at the SPCA of Texas' Dallas Animal Care Center and our Ellis County Animal Care Center (2570 FM Road 878, Waxahachie, TX).  Adoptions are sponsored by the Russell E. Dealey Animal Rescue Center. There's one exception—when a senior adopts a senior pet, age seven or older the adoption fee is waived. Puppies and kittens under the age of six months are $150. 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 MetLife Insurance, a free 14-day wellness exam with VCA Animal Hospitals, a rabies tag and a free leash.

 

Senior citizens (over 65) can adopt any senior animal (over age 7) for free!

 

Looking for a new home: Caroline

 

 

Meet Caroline, a seven-year-old mixed hound and beagle who tips the scales at 69 pounds. This friendly girl has a beautiful black and white dappled short coat, with dark mask and ears and a lovely smile. Caroline is mellow, friendly, gentle, and cuddly. She's good with kids under 12-years of age and with other dogs, and is at the Dallas Animal Care Center, so you can meet her any day from noon till 6pm. Her adoption fee is $75 (but if you are over 65 you can adopt this senior dog for free) and you can see her profile at https://spca.org/adoptable/caroline/.

 

Sammie, Galvin, Patrick, and Oompa are still waiting for their forever homes.

 

Still looking for a new home: Sammie

 

 

Meet Sammie, a lovely pure-white Siberian husky with stunning blue eyes. At 18 months she's a big pup and may grow a bit more. Now she is 55 pounds. This dog is intelligent, eager to learn, is energetic and playful but gentle, and is good with children under 12 and with other dogs. She's a cuddler when the occasion arises. Sammie is one of the dogs available for the "foster-to-adopt" program, to take her home and see how she fits with other dogs and the family. Email foster@spca.org to learn about that possibility. It's always a good idea to bring down other dogs and children to meet any animal you plan to foster or adopt. Sammie is at the Dallas Animal Care Center (2400 Lone Star Drive, 75212) so no appointment is needed to meet her. See her profile here: https://spca.org/adoptable/sammie/.

 

Still looking for a new home: Galvin

 

 

Meet Galvin, an American Blue Heeler mix who is almost two years old and 49 pounds. He has a merle or marbled coat with tan and white accents and the classic blue heeler face mask (dark over his eyes). Galvin is friendly, gentle, and loving with people, is good with kids under 12 and other dogs, and is in need of a foster or foster-to-adopt situation. It's always a good idea to bring the family and dogs down to meet any dog you're considering adopting. His adoption fee is $75 and he is at the Dallas Animal Care Center, so come by any day of the week between Noon and 6 p.m. to meet him. Here is his profile at the SPCA.

 

Still looking for a new home: Luca

 

 

Meet Luca, a 35-pound seven-month-old boxer-terrier pup. He is a typical pup: energetic, affectionate, curious, sweet, and a fast-learner. He apparently is a very good snuggler who gives good kisses. Luca is well-mannered and good with kids under 12-years and with other dogs. He is housed at the Russell E. Dealey Animal Rescue Center, so you’ll need an appointment to meet him, and you can find a link for an appointment on his profile at https://spca.org/adoptable/lexter/.

 

Still looking for a new home: Patrick

 

 

Meet Patrick, a big pup with a striking short red coat with white highlights. At 1 1/2 years Patrick is a survivor; he is a tripod (one leg amputated) who gets around super well and is always ready to explore the world on leashed walks (he is very good at walks!) and is good with children under 12 years and other dogs. Patrick is 57 pounds and may be growing a bit more. He loves spending times outdoor and when he's around people he loves to be the center of attention. Bring the kids and other dogs down to meet him at the Dallas Animal Care Center (always a good idea when considering adopting a new pet). Find his profile at the SPCA of Texas here.

 

Still looking for a new home: Oompa

 

 

Meet Oompa, a lovable and goofy two-year-old mixed breed dog, searching for his perfect forever home! This charming 68-pound boy is a bundle of joy and silliness, guaranteed to fill your life with laughter and happiness. Oompa's unique journey began when he was found as a stray, seeking refuge under a house alongside 12 other dogs. Despite his rough start, Oompa's resilient spirit shines through, and he's now ready to embark on a new chapter of his life with a loving family by his side. He is in a foster home, so an appointment is needed to meet him. Despite his previous hardships, Oompa is great with other dogs, showcasing his ability to be a wonderful companion to furry siblings. He will be good with human siblings, too! With a little patience and love, Oompa's potential knows no bounds. Visit Oompa’s profile at https://spca.org/adoptable/oompa/ and click on the "Make an Appointment" button. Oompa's team will set everything up from there.

 

Thank you for your support
