Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Elanor, an 8-week-old puppy who should be spending her days playing, exploring, and soaking up all the love in the world—but instead, she’s found herself in a shelter facing some concerning medical challenges.

Elanor is showing signs of cervical ventroflexion, tremors, and difficulty walking. She will need further veterinary workup to understand what’s causing these symptoms and how best to help her.

But here’s the thing—despite everything she’s going through, Elanor’s spirit is unshaken. ?? She’s still a lively, bright little puppy who wants nothing more than to play, love, and be loved. Her tail still wags. Her eyes still light up. This animal is at risk for euthanasia. If you are interested in helping, please email dasadopt@dallas.gov with your contact information so we can call you back.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
