Interested in adopting a pet — or just gazing at some cuddly canines? There are dozens of darling dogs up for adoption at animal shelters in and around Dallas.
Animal shelters and pet rescue groups work hard to care for unhoused pets and connect them to loving homes. Hoodline used data from Petfinder to power this roundup of dogs currently available for adoption.
(Details like pet availability, training, vaccinations and other features are based on data provided by Petfinder and may be subject to change; contact the shelter for the latest information.)

Blossom is very sweet, but a bundle of energy! She is initially very cautious and wary with strangers, but once she gets to know you, she will run up to greet you and flip over for a belly rub. She is food-motivated and eager to do whatever you want for a treat. She also loves to run! At the dog park, she runs and runs and runs in circles at break-neck speed, and then when exhausted, will find you to lay at your feet.
