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.
Lucy
Meet Lucy, a calm and precious 10-year-old female Shepherd mix who's on the hunt for a forever home! Get ready to be wowed by this affectionate and stunning lady with a heart of gold.
Lucy's got confidence in spades, and she's itching to show off her skills! As a seasoned gal, she's all about the calm life and would love a secure backyard for her outdoor adventures.
Sure, she might be a touch reserved with new faces, but here's the secret sauce: a dash of patience, a sprinkle of treats, and a loving family and—voilà, her true colors shine!
And here's the scoop: Lucy's super excited to meet any kids over 10. That way, we're sure to find the perfect match!
But wait, there's more! Lucy went on a weekend field trip and rocked it! Cars? No sweat. Thunderstorms? A snooze fest. She's as cool as a cucumber. Playtime? You bet! And showers? She's a fan, ready to jump in and share the shampoo love!
Heidi
Meet Heidi, a gorgeous and fun-loving 3-year-old female Shepherd mix who's ready to light up your life! We can't stop raving about her friendly and energetic personality. And boy does this girl love a little zoomie action – gotta work off that energy, right?
And here's the scoop – Heidi's got that precious nature that'll melt your heart. Laughs and love are her specialties, and she's absolutely raring for some long walks and heart-to-heart talks. How about you?
Weighing in at 58 pounds, Heidi’s ready for you, any human kiddos, and any canine companions to swing by and make a magical connection, as she gets along quite well with two- and four-legged friends
Now, a little heads-up. Heidi's got the zest for life, but those zoomies might have to be on the shorter side because she’s heartworms positive. But guess what? The treatment is covered 100% by the SPCA of Texas.
So, what's the plan? Heidi's ready to dive into your heart and home. Let's make this joyful match happen!
Lionel
Meet Lionel—a true embodiment of friendliness and charm. He’s waiting for his forever family at the SPCA of Texas, just yearning for a place he can finally call home!
At a youthful two years old, Lionel is a striking mixed breed with a heart of gold. His silvery coat is as soft as a cloud, and his deep, chocolate brown eyes radiate pure affection.
Lionel's zest for life shines brightest when he's sprinting through ball pits, a mischievous glint in his eyes as he searches for hidden treats. His love for play is boundless, a joy to behold.
But here's the scoop – Lionel's passion for life isn't just confined to toys. He's a social butterfly, eagerly greeting everyone he meets with open paws. Lionel thrives on human companionship and lives for making new friends.
To unlock Lionel's full potential, a yard would be his dream come true – a space where he can let his energy run wild.
And guess what? Lionel's got a soft spot for human kiddos too! So, don't forget to bring them along for a meet and greet, along with your current pupper, to ensure everyone's on board for this exciting new chapter.
Pascal
Meet Pascal! He’s a handsome fella who is up for adoption and waiting for just the right person or family to find him at the SPCA of Texas.
Pascal is a 7-year-old male Lab/Hound mix who weighs just over 60 pounds and has a striking and glossy coat of mostly black with white blazes, as well as a bit of distinguished salt and pepper fur around his chest and muzzle.
He is as sweet as the day is long with equal parts gentle and loving. While Pascal can be a little shy with strangers sometimes, he warms up quickly. He is patient, curious and even knows how to sit! Pascal adores treats, so there’s no limit to what you can teach him with patience of your own and a little time.
Like all pets from the SPCA of Texas, Pascal has been neutered, microchipped and is current on all his necessary vaccines. He is housed at the Russell E. Dealey Animal Rescue Center, so a prior appointment is necessary to meet him. The easiest way to do this is to find her profile, and click on the “Make an Appointment” button.
Please browse our available animals here and click here to inquire about a dog or here to inquire about a cat.
Throughout September, all adult dog and cat adoptions are only $25 at the SPCA Dallas Animal Care Center (2400 Lone Star Drive, 75212) and the Ellis County Animal Care Center (2570 FM Road 878 Waxahachie, TX 75165). There’s one exception—when a senior adopts a senior pet, age seven or older, such as Daisy, the adoption fee is waived.
