Dallas Adoptable Pets: Meet Han Solo, Tinkerbelle, Sugar Pie & More

Looking to add to your family and make a positive impact on the world at the same time? Adopt a pet from a local shelter or organization! Despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, many animal shelters in Dallas and environs are still working to fulfill adoptions and place pets in forever homes.

There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages and sizes without a home across Texas — and many of them are located within driving distance. For those looking to adopt, a great place to start your search for your new fur child is at Cane Rosso Rescue, where Sugar Pie the dog is waiting patiently, or another local facility. If you aren't sure if you have time to take care of a pet year round, many shelters also offer opportunities to foster pets until they are placed in appropriate homes.

Here at Patch, with a little help from our friends at Petfinder, we round up a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. If you're a dog person, you might like Han Solo, an English Setter up for adoption. Or if cats are more your thing, there are several great cats available, too. Click on any listing for more information, or to start the adoption process.
