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.
!!! A change in the fees/offerings at the SPCA: We have changed our Senior program. “Senior Sweethearts” allows anyone, no matter their age, to adopt any pets age 6 and older for free. Humans age 60 and older, can adopt any shelter pet, no matter their age, for free. There are also specials for dogs that have been in the shelter for a very long time.
Looking for a new home: Zoey
Meet Zoey, an 8-year-old Yorkie/Poodle mix who weighs in at 12 pounds. This little girl is affectionate (though may be shy at first) and a cuddler. She is also energetic but plays gently. Zoey is offered through the foster-to-adopt program because she has a couple of surgeries coming up (spay and enucleation eye surgery) to make her more comfortable and healthy.The surgery and care are covered by the SPCA and what she needs is a loving, supportive home to help her heal and thrive. Because of her age, her adoption fee, when the time comes, will be free as a Senior Sweetheart. The SPCA will provide everything you need including food, bowls, leash, collar, treats, and more.
Meet Zoey at the Texas Dallas Animal Care Center (2400 Lone Star Dr, 75212) any day of the week between Noon and 6 p.m. Zoey will be spayed, microchipped and she is up to date on vaccines. See her profile at https://spca.org/adoptable/zoey/
Jesse, Butters, Lazuli, Alexa, Tater, and Betty are still waiting for their forever homes.
Still looking for a new home: Butters
Meet Butters, a one-year-old mixed breed (looks like some Lab in there) male who is your typical happy big pup—friendly, playful, eager to learn. He’s great on a leash, loves going for walks, and is great with people and other dogs, and you’ll see evidence of his joy with a big smile and wagging tail. Butters is 65 pounds and has a smooth blond coat, floppy soft ears and a black nose and muzzle. Meet him today at the SPCA of Texas Dallas Animal Care Center (2400 Lone Star Dr, Dallas, 75212), which is open from Noon to 6 p.m., daily. Butters is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all his vaccines. See his profile at the SPCA site.
Still looking for a new home: Lazuli
Meet Lazuli, a silver-gray and white big pup who is a 32 pound Weimaraner-mix. At a year and a half old she may still have some growing to do, but is already potty trained and walks well on a leash. Lazuli is currently healing from a mass removal surgery and is looking for a quiet, caring space where she can finish healing. This dog is bright, affectionate, friendly, good with other dogs, and a great cuddler. She is available for foster while she heals, and soon will be ready for adoption, and it can be that the foster home is the one that adopts. Fostering an SPCA of Texas shelter pet doesn’t cost a thing except love and time. Everything is provided—bowls, food, bedding, collar, medications. She has been spayed, microchipped, and is current on all her vaccines. Come meet this sweet girl any day from Noon to 6 p.m., at the Dallas Animal Care Center (2400 Lone Star Dr, 75212). Walk-ins are welcome. Email foster@spca.org to learn more about fostering her, and visit her profile at the SPCA site.
Still looking for a new home: Alexa
Meet Alexa, a chocolate-brown mixed breed soulful senior who is almost 12-years old. We don’t know why this older sweetheart has ended up in a shelter at this advanced age, but this well-behaved smart girl deserves a family for the rest of her life. At 59-pounds she loves people and is a good-sized snuggler, is friendly and gentle and walks well on a leash. She gets long well with other dogs and loves car rides and is fond of water. Like all shelter pets at the SPCA of Texas, Alexa has been spayed, microchipped and is up to date on her vaccinations. See her any day of the week at the SPCA of Texas Dallas Animal Care Center (2400 Lone Star Dr, 75212), every day of the week from Noon to 6 p.m. She qualifies for the Seniors for Seniors program (any adult age 60 and older can adopt a shelter pet age 6 and older for free!) Her profile can be seen at the SPCA website.
Still looking for a new home: Tater
Meet Tater, a Great Pyrenees mix who is two-years-old and 55 pounds of mellow, goofy love. He loves balls and squeaky toys, is good on a leash, is friendly and a quick learner. There isn’t information about other animals or kids under 12, so be sure to ask, and it’s always a good idea to take the family and dogs down to meet any dog you are considering adopting. Meet Tator at the Dallas Animal Care Center (2400 Lone Star Drive, 75212), which is open from noon to 6 p.m., seven days a week! Like all pets from the SPCA of Texas, Tator has been neutered, microchipped and is up to date on all his necessary vaccinations. See his profile at the SPCA.
Still looking for a new home: Sugar
Meet Sugar, a mixed breed (looks like a lot of blue heeler) pooch who is a 45 pound one-year old. She’s energetic, smart, curious, and loves kids under 12 and other dogs. The SPCA suggests she would be great as a running buddy or a hiking partner. Meet Sugar today at our Dallas Animal Care Center (2400 Lone Star Drive, 75212), which is open from noon to 6 p.m. seven days a week! Like all pets from the SPCA of Texas, Sugar has been spayed, microchipped and is up to date on all her necessary vaccinations. See her profile at the SPCA.
Still looking for a new home: Betty
Meet Betty, a 5-year-old 62-pound German Shepherd dog mix who has lots of great things going for her. She’s great on a leash, good with kids under 12 and other dogs, easygoing, and a great cuddler. This graceful pooch apparently takes things slow and is quite loveable. She is at the Dallas Animal Care Center (2400 Lone Star Drive, 75212), which is open from noon to 6 p.m. seven days a week! Like all pets from the SPCA of Texas, Betty has been spayed, microchipped and is up to date on all her necessary vaccinations. See Betty’s profile at the SPCA.
