In the shelter’s words

APPLICATION REQUIRED from www.dashdog.org Adoption Fee $450 - the fee is NON-NEGOTIABLE and is not specific for any dog or puppy; it goes to the expenses of the organization as a whole* OUR APPLICATION IS ON www.dashdog.org and must be completed in order to set up a meeting. Our listed dogs ARE READY IMMEDIATELY; we only meet with families WHO ARE READY TO ADOPT! IF YOU APPLY and if WE APPROVE YOU it means we are assuming when you meet any of our dogs and fall in love you're ready to ADOPT AND HIM OR HER HOME! PHOENIX This beautiful puppy Phoenix and his brother were brought into an East Texas Shelter that we work with; as soon as we got the call and the photos he got vetted and quarantined and is ready for a FOREVER home! Phoenix is around 14 to 15 weeks old. He’s had two rounds of shots dewormed several times has been being kept in Foster as an indoor family pet where he’s also become crate trained and 90% housebroken. Phoenix is really playful. He has an above average energy level - it’s normal for a puppy. It’s just seven or eight out of 10. Phoenix absolutely loves playing with his little brother and the big Foster dogs that he’s been staying with! Phoenix is smart and eager to please; he’s just learning some commands and all about fetch and retrieve. Phoenix is also a cuddler; he’s still young enough of a puppy where he runs around for 15 or 20 minutes then he’s wiped out for a few hours for a good nap and there’s nothing he loves more than hanging with his humans! Beautiful Phoenix will be at DASH in Dallas this weekend. We are hoping to find the right family for him for this Halloween and daylight savings weekend! It will be darker. It will be colder. What could be better than a puppy to warm up you and your family! Ideally, he would go to a home with another young, active playful dog he, he’s a great playmate and Canine Companion If you’d like to arrange a meeting to adopt Phoenix, please complete our application on the website below: www.dashdog.org Then Text Sara: 214-549-9905 So I can check your application and get back to you! JASPER & PHOENIX: LITTERMATES, BUT DEFINITELY NOT TWINS! Can you believe these two gorgeous puppies are littermates? ❤️ These Aussie/Border Collie mix puppies were born to an Aussie/Border Collie mom, but they’ve developed their own unique looks and personalities! Jasper is your classic social butterfly — the first one in and the last one to leave! If there’s a party happening, he’s ready to be the guest of honor! Phoenix is a little more reserved and takes a moment to warm up, but he has plenty of love to give once he’s comfortable. Both boys are:✨ Super smart and eager to please✨ Friendly and ready to make new friends✨ Crate-trained and almost completely housebroken!✨ Young enough to learn to live with cats✨ Full of puppy energy and ready for fun! These boys LOVE running around the backyard, romping, wrestling, and playing together. And with their likely water-loving heritage, don’t be surprised if they turn into your future swimming buddies! They’ve spent time in quarantine while completing their vaccinations, and now they’re READY to trade that waiting time for a forever family! Aussies and Border Collies are known for their intelligence, loyalty, and love of having a job to do. These boys will thrive with families who can give them plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and affection. ❤️ Two adorable boys, two unique personalities, and a lifetime of love waiting to happen!

General Info - PLEASE READ! *Our $450 adoption fee is based on the cost of rescuing, transporting and vetting each dog; we do not try to compete on prices with municipal shelters whose funds are paid by the city. Our philosophy is to rescue highly adoptable dogs, have them live kennel-free in private homes for temperament assessments and individual personalities. We work hard to match EACH dog with the right family - kids or no kids, other dogs male or female and/or cats. With very rare exceptions all dogs over 6 months will be spayed or neutered PRIOR to adoption - dogs under 6 months will include a spay/neuter date AND referral info for lower-cost surgery if the adopter does not choose to use her or his personal vet. OUR VETS WILL NOT PERFORM SPAY NEUTER SURGERIES UNTIL DOG IS 6 MONTHS OLD.
