Meet Shadow, a seven-year-old Beagle mix with a heart as big as his smile!

With his handsome black, brown, tan, and white coat, Shadow is as striking as he is sweet. At 32 pounds, he’s the perfect medium size—not too big, not too small, but just right for walks, snuggles, and everything in between.

Shadow’s name couldn’t be more fitting. Why? Because he loves nothing more than sticking close to his people! Whether you’re heading outside for some fresh air, relaxing on the couch with a good book, or simply moving from room to room, Shadow will be right there, tail wagging and eyes shining. He’s funny, affectionate, and full of personality—the kind of dog who makes every day brighter with his silly antics and loving nature.

At 7 years old, Shadow has the perfect balance of playful energy and laid-back charm. He enjoys outdoor adventures, but he’s equally happy to curl up at your side and keep you company. His big smile says it all—he’s just thrilled to be with you, no matter what you’re doing. Shadow isn’t just a pet; he’s a loyal friend who will stand by your side through thick and thin, always ready to bring comfort, laughter, and love into your life.

If you’re looking for a companion who’s devoted, funny, and full of heart, Shadow is the one. He’s ready to trade in shelter life for a forever home where he can be the loyal sidekick he was born to be. Like all pets at the SPCA of Texas, Shadow has been neutered, microchipped and is up-to-date on all his vaccines.

Come meet Shadow any day of the week at our Dallas Animal Care Center (2400 Lone Star Dr, 75212) between 12 and 5 p.m. Walk-ins are welcome. His adoption fee is just $75, but the happiness he’ll bring is truly priceless.

Shadow qualifies for our Seniors for Seniors program—individuals age 60 and older can adopt a shelter pet age 6 and older for free!

Don’t wait—Shadow is ready to step out of the shelter and into your heart.

*This Saturday, August 23rd, will be our “Clear the Shelters Adoption Fest!” All adoptions will be FREE at the SPCA of Texas Dallas Animal Care Center from Noon to 6 p.m.*

Here comes Bubba, a 72-pound hunk of love with a heart as big as his tongue-out grin! At 3 years old, this Mixed Breed sweetheart is the perfect blend of mellow and playful, loyal and goofy. With his beautiful tan and white coat, floppy ears, and soulful dark eyes, Bubba is the kind of dog who can melt your heart in seconds, and then have you laughing just as quickly with his silly charm.

Bubba came to us from the Texas Hill Country as part of our effort to help shelters impacted by the tragic flooding. Despite the challenges he’s faced, Bubba has kept his big-hearted spirit intact. In fact, he’s the kind of dog who seems to know he’s been given a second chance, and he’s determined to make the most of it.

This big boy is all about the simple joys in life. A good belly rub? Absolute heaven. A nice, easy leash walk? He’s right there with you, trotting happily by your side. Meeting new people? Bubba’s wagging tail and goofy grin say it all: “Hi, new best friend!” His friendly, easygoing nature makes him a joy to be around, whether you’re going for a stroll, lounging on the couch, or enjoying a lazy Sunday afternoon.

While he may be a big guy, Bubba has a gentle, mellow side that shines through in everything he does. He’s loyal to the core, the kind of companion who’s just as happy hanging out quietly with you as he is soaking up all the attention and belly rubs you’re willing to give.

Bubba’s journey brought him here for a reason and he’s ready to find the wonderful family who will love him as much as he’s ready to love them. If you’re searching for a goofy, loyal, big-hearted companion who will brighten your days with laughter and love, Bubba is your guy.

Come meet Bubba and let him show you how wonderful life can be when shared with a true best friend.

Get to know Bubba 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, Bubba has been neutered, microchipped and is up to date on all his necessary vaccinations.

Introducing Spud, a 10-year-old Bull Terrier with a pink nose, a black spot on his noggin, and enough personality to power a small city. At 43 pounds, he’s compact, charming, and absolutely convinced he’s the perfect size for your lap. One look at those big, pointy ears and his mile-wide grin, and you’ll know this guy’s a whole mood.

Spud is the kind of dog who makes every day better. He’s got a delightful mix of silly and sweet. One minute he’s launching into surprise zoomies across the living room, the next he’s plopping down next to you with a contented sigh and a soft ball in his mouth like, “Okay, I’m done. Let’s cuddle.” He’s got pep in his step and a twinkle in his eye, especially when squeaky toys are involved.

Crafty? You bet. Spud is the kind of guy who knows exactly where you keep the treats and will stare at the cabinet until you "accidentally" open it. Curious? Absolutely. He wants to investigate the world.

This handsome, white-coated gentleman may be 10, but no one told him that. Spud’s youthful spirit and giant heart are ready to bring love, laughter, and a little bit of joyful chaos to your life. He’s a pro at chilling beside his human, leaning into pets, and reminding you that happiness can be as simple as a belly rub and a squishy toy.

Spud has lots of love left to give and he’s ready to share it with someone who appreciates a goofy, loyal, snuggly best friend. If your idea of perfect includes a pink nose, a happy heart, and an endless supply of joy, Spud’s ready to be yours!

Meet Spud 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, Spud has been neutered, microchipped and is up-to-date on all his necessary vaccinations.
