Story
LOOKING FOR LOVE & UNDERSTANDING. I was saved from euthanasia on the last day of my deadline. I had been picked up as a stray and labeled feral by the shelter. You see, I had never known kindness from humans, and I was terrified of EVERYTHING. I had NEVER received love, affection, or been part of a family. Fast forward to today: I am a 2-year old energetic guy who gets along well with dogs of all sizes, and I am looking for my own family! My foster family says that I have come a long way, but I will still need a family with a dog-sibling to help me continue to figure this all out. My foster family has integrated me into their family, but it is time for me to find my own furever home! I am kennel-trained and potty-trained and take treats ever so gently. I am learning to walk on a leash and appreciate the new sights and smells. I crave structure and am a creature of habit. My people will need to continue my acclimation into being a family pet with consistency and positive reinforcement while I continue to experience new things and events. I am still cautious with new people and have learned to observe from a distance until comfortable, and I'd appreciate patience as I navigate. Please give me a chance to be your loyal family member and feel safe with humans. I am current on my vaccines, microchipped, and neutered.

I am looking to find a new home for my black lab. He is very sweet and playful, but I am 9 months pregnant and haven't been able to give him the attention they deserve. He loves to play fetch, be outside and chase the kids around the backdoor.

Story
Hello, I'm Elvira. You might think my name is a bit spooky, but don't be fooled. I'm the sweetest dog you'll ever meet. My days are filled with chasing my tail, playing with my favorite squeaky toy, and napping in the sunniest spot I can find. But at night, I love to curl up with a good bone and listen to the soft whispers of the shelter. It's a peaceful life, but I dream of something more. A home where I can share my sweetness and bring joy to my forever family. Adopt me and let's start our happily ever after! Please call 972-524-4709 with any other questions or if you would like more information. Our adoption fee for our animals includes: All vaccinations, microchip, spay/neuter, deworming, and tick/flea treatment.

Story
Hi there, I'm Nova. In this big world, I'm just a simple dog with a heart full of loyalty. My days are spent in anticipation, waiting for someone to walk through that door, for a kind voice to call my name. I'm not just looking for an owner, but a companion, a friend. I've got a lot of love to give, and I promise to be there for you, through thick and thin. I may not be the youngest pup in the shelter, but my spirit is ageless. I'm not asking for much, just a chance. Adopt me and let me show you what unwavering loyalty feels like. Please call 972-524-4709 with any other questions or if you would like more information. Our adoption fee for our animals includes: All vaccinations, microchip, spay/neuter, deworming, and tick/flea treatment

Story
Meet Boss! This Canine CEO of Cuddles and Fun is 60 pounds of pure, unapologetic awesomeness! He is a top-tier blend of German Shepherd, Rhodesian Ridgeback, and Labrador—essentially, he’s got the leadership skills of a shepherd, the athleticism of a ridgeback, and the charm of a Labrador. Don’t let his name fool you—Boss isn’t here to run the show; he’s here to be the most loyal, loving sidekick you could ask for. At just one year old, Boss has mastered the art of fun without sacrificing good manners. Boss is the ultimate team player. He’s dog-friendly, cat-friendly, and kid-friendly—basically, if it moves, he’s down to make a new friend. Whether you’ve got a chaotic household or one that enjoys quiet afternoons, Boss will fit in seamlessly. He’s potty-trained, so no embarrassing moments on the rug, and crate-trained, which means he’ll happily chill in his personal space when you need some peace and quiet. But don’t be surprised if you find him trying to sneak his way into your bed for a snuggle session. He’s just that lovable. Boss is all about rewards. He’s treat-motivated, so a simple snack could turn him into your personal trick-performing machine. He’s got the intelligence of a German Shepherd and the energy of a Labrador, so he’s always up for a challenge, especially if there’s a tasty treat involved. Boss is in peak condition. He’s neutered, up-to-date on shots, microchipped, and ready to conquer whatever life throws his way—whether that’s hiking, fetch, or just relaxing on the couch with his favorite human. Let’s be clear—Boss isn’t just a name; it’s a lifestyle. This guy knows how to take charge when it’s playtime, but he’s also the first to settle down for a Netflix binge after a good walk. If you’re looking for a dog who will be loyal, energetic, and love you unconditionally, Boss is ready to sign a lifetime contract with you. So, are you ready to have your very own four-legged boss? Because Boss is ready to take over your heart. Contact info@rockwallpets.com for more info or to arrange a meet and greet!January 12, 2025, 4:03 am
