Thank you, and God bless you for adopting!

HAPPY TAILS, CRICKET AND LADYBUG!

Today was an extra special day at Rockwall Adoption Center because Cricket and Ladybug found their forever home together!

These two sweet puppies are officially starting their next chapter side by side with a family of their very own, and we could not be happier for them. There is something especially wonderful about seeing two little ones leave the shelter together knowing they will continue growing up with each other and with a family who chose to give them both a home.

Congratulations to Cricket and Ladybug, and a huge thank you to their adopters for choosing adoption and welcoming both girls into their family.

Happy Tails, sweet girls! We wish you a lifetime of love, adventures, and wonderful memories together in your new home.

**🚨 TORA HAS A SPECIAL REQUEST! 🐾❤️**
Our sweet Tora has a specific diet that works best for him, and we are running very low on his food!
Tora eats 2 cans every day of Purina Pro Plan Prime Plus Adult 7+ Pâté Wet Cat Food. Tora isn’t picky about the protein! Chicken, beef, salmon, tuna, whitefish—he’s happy with any of the Prime Plus 7+ pâté varieties. Purina offers several flavors within the Prime Plus Adult 7+ wet food line.

With Tora eating two cans every single day, our supply disappears quickly. If you would like to send this handsome senior gentleman a little care package, we would be incredibly grateful! ❤️

Link here for Amazon: https://a.co/d/0fhBJOAN

Shipping Address: 1825 Airport Rd. Rockwall, TX, 75087

Every case and every can helps us keep Tora’s belly full while he waits for his forever family! He is still currently available for adoption, please reach out if you might be interested in making Tora part of your family!

Thank you for always stepping up when one of our shelter pets has a special need. Tora appreciates you! 🐾❤️

Come ask your questions and I’ll walk through some of the budget amendments I plan to propose. Many people are attempting to make this an emotional issue—come hear the facts!

🐾 ATLAS ISN’T LOOKING FOR A CROWD. HE’S LOOKING FOR HIS PLACE. 🧡

Meet Atlas, a handsome approximately 5 year old Domestic Shorthair weighing around 15 pounds who knows what he likes: his people, a little independence, and preferably no other cats competing for his space!

Atlas came to Rockwall Adoption Center after having difficulty getting along with the other cats in his previous home, so this confident guy may be happiest as the only cat. He enjoys spending time indoors with his people but also appreciates opportunities to safely explore outside. Atlas has a natural hunting instinct and enjoys putting those skills to work, making supervised outdoor time something he may enjoy in his future home.

📍 Rockwall Adoption Center | Rockwall, TX
🐱 Domestic Shorthair
🎂 Approximately 5 years old
⚖️ Around 15 pounds
💙 Neutered Male
💰 Adoption Fee: $30

🩺 Atlas is neutered and current on his rabies vaccination.

Atlas may not want to share his kingdom with other cats, but for the family looking for a smart, independent companion, he just might be exactly who they’ve been searching for. 🐱❤️

Apply to adopt Atlas:

💎🐾 111 DAYS. OUTLAW IS STILL WAITING. 🐾💎

Behind that handsome Heeler face is a loyal boy who just wants to belong to someone. ❤️

Outlaw is a 3 year old Australian Cattle Dog, also known as a Blue Heeler, mix weighing approximately 44 pounds. He can be a little shy when you first meet him, but give him time and his affectionate, devoted personality begins to shine. Once Outlaw chooses his people, he wants to be part of their everyday life.

Outlaw would thrive in a home where someone is around most of the time. He loves companionship and is looking for a family who wants a true four legged sidekick. He is learning to walk on a leash and is catching on quickly.

🐾 Outlaw appears to do best with female dogs who complement his energy and play style. A meet and greet is recommended with resident dogs.

💎 DIAMOND DOG: 111 DAYS WAITING
❤️ 3 years old
🐾 Australian Cattle Dog and Blue Heeler mix
⚖️ Approximately 44 pounds
💙 Male
📍 Rockwall, TX
💲 Reduced adoption fee: $75
🩺 Neutered, microchipped, current on rabies and basic boosters
❤️ Heartworm positive with treatment sponsored by Rockwall PAWS

111 days is far too long to wait for someone to choose you. Outlaw does not need everyone. He just needs one family willing to give him the chance to become the loyal companion we know he can be. 🏡❤️

📲 Apply to adopt Outlaw:
https://rockwalladoptions.com/adoptfoster/adoption-application/

Approved applicants will be contacted regarding the next steps in the adoption process.

🐾 Can’t adopt? LIKE, SHARE, and FOLLOW! One share could put Outlaw in front of the person he has been waiting 111 days to find.
