In partnership with the SPCA of Texas, NewsRadio 1080 KRLD brings you 'Adoptable Pet Pals,' a weekly feature to introduce you to animals that are ready for adoption.
KRLD's Kristin Diaz along with Maura Davies from the SPCA highlights the critical need for adopting families at local animal shelters by showcasing an "Adoptable Pet Pal" that has stayed at the shelter too long.
Meet this week's featured Pet Pal, Dil!
Meet Dil, a happy and calm 3-year-old mixed breed boy looking for his forever home! He's a treat-loving, cuddle enthusiast who adores being around people. Dil is well-mannered and excellent on a leash. Having experienced the comfort of a home environment in a foster setting, he's now eager to find a loving family to call his own. Dil is open to meeting other dogs in the household to ensure a perfect match, and he's excited to be your loyal companion! You can meet Dil any day between noon and 6 p.m. at the SPCA of Texas' Dallas Animal Care Center located at 2400 Lone Star Dr.
Meet Pyle!
Meet Pyle, a 2-year-old male Shepherd mix with a heart as big as his personality! Pyle is on a mission to find his forever home, and he's looking for a special family who can keep up with his exuberance. To match Pyle's zest for life, it's best if he's in a home with kids who are 12 years or older, just the right age to handle his flamboyance.
Pyle's dream is to have a big, secure yard where he can run, play, and let out all of his boundless energy. Can you help him find the place where he truly belongs? And that's not all! Pyle is learning that dogs can be great pals, so if you have other furry friends, he'd be delighted to meet them.
Like all pets from the SPCA of Texas, Pyle has been neutered, microchipped and is up to date on all his necessary vaccinations. He is housed at the Russell E. Dealey Animal Rescue Center, so you’ll need an appointment to meet him. To do that, just find his profile at spca.org/dogs and click on that make an appointment button. Pyle’s team will take it from there.
The SPCA of Texas invites you to celebrate the season at Home for the Holidays at NorthPark Center, presented by the Russell E. Dealey Animal Rescue Center. Don’t miss our 33rd annual Adoption Pavilion, open through Saturday, December 23rd, from noon to 6 p.m., featuring festive merchandise and adorable, adoptable pets!
Meet Candy!
Introducing Candy, the delightful 5-year-old, 53 pound Retriever mix, on a quest to find her forever home! And she’s eagerly waiting to meet you at the SPCA of Texas.
Candy may be a bit shy at first, taking a little time to ensure everything is A-OK in her surroundings, but once she realizes she's in good hands, get ready, because Candy wants to be wherever her people are! While she'd prefer a house with a yard, Candy is open to apartment living if there's easy access to designated walking areas.
For families with children under 10, a friendly Meet and Greet is in order to make sure everyone gets along famously.
Candy thinks she might prefer being the only dog, but she's willing to give friendship a try. A calmer doggy companion who understands she needs some space would be ideal as she adjusts to her new home.
Like all pets from the SPCA of Texas, Candy has been spayed, microchipped and is up to date on all her necessary vaccinations. She is housed at the Russell E. Dealey Animal Rescue Center, so you’ll need an appointment to meet her. To do that, just find her profile at spca.org/dogs and click on that make an appointment button. Candy’s team will take it from there.

Meet Kiki!
Introducing Kiki, the charming 4-year-old Pittie mix weighing just under 50 pounds. She has a heart full of love and a tail that won't stop wagging! Plus, she is playful, fun loving, and is patiently waiting to meet you at the SPCA of Texas.
Kiki started her journey at the SPCA of Texas as a stray, but after going through heartworm treatment, she's now ready for her fresh start in life! This sweet girl is highly treat-motivated, ready to shower her new family with affection and loyalty.
Kiki would love to meet any canine pals she'll be sharing her new home with. While making new friends makes her a bit nervous, a friendly introduction before heading home would help her feel more at ease.
