We have identified a few special pets who are in urgent need of foster or adoptive homes. Life in the shelter can be overwhelming for sensitive pets. While we do our best to provide all the love and care the need, some pets show signs of extreme stress like pacing, trembling, and shutting down completely. A few are even trying to escape their kennels out of pure panic, putting themselves at risk of injury.
These dogs need out, and they need YOU. Whether you’re able to foster for a day, a week, or indefinitely, you can make a measurable difference in these pets’ lives. We’ll provide everything you need — you just provide the love.
💛 Become a hero to a shelter pet today. Foster. Adopt. Save a life.

Short-term transport animals have been selected by a rescue partner organization and need a foster home while they await their travel date. These animals are NOT eligible for local adoption. Fosters get to be “pet sitters” for these animals, meaning you do not have to worry about taking them to adoption events or communicating with adoption applicants. While you hang out with them prior to travel, we can keep them from getting exposed to any diseases in the shelter that would hold up their journey. And, animals remaining in the shelter have a little bit of extra space and volunteer/staff time for TLC. It’s a win-win!
Animals needing a Foster Sitter are already in a foster home, but their foster human needs to be out of town for a short period. Rather than the animal returning to the shelter for that short time, we prefer to place these animals with a Foster Sitter. Each post will show the time frame needed.
These animals are awaiting or have recently undergone a veterinary procedure and we think they’d heal and recover best in a foster home. Click on each animal to see what their specific needs are. Our team is happy to help describe each animal’s needs in detail – oftentimes it’s just a cozy, quiet place to rest for a 2-4 weeks.
Hi, I'm Soph! I'm a sweet girl with a smile that's sure to brighten your day. I love basking in the sun and hanging out with my favorite people, just soaking up all the love and good vibes. If you're looking for a gentle, affectionate companion to enjoy the simple moments with, I'm your girl!FOSTER REASON: I need my lower canine tooth extracted since it's pressing into the roof of my mouth and causing me some discomfort. After that, I'll be feeling much better and ready for adoption!While I'm not available for adoption yet, I am available for foster-to-adopt! Please email foster@spca.org to schedule an appointment to meet me.
Meet Baron - A Royal Beagle Ready to Retire in Style! All rise for Baron, a 7-year-old beagle with a noble spirit and a nose for adventure! This royal hound is searching for a castle (okay, a loving home) where he can enjoy his well-earned retirement. Baron may be a bit older and carries himself with a touch of quiet dignity, but don't forget-he's still a beagle! That means you'll hear the occasional bay as he reports the day's findings or makes sure you're aware it's dinner time. He enjoys a good sniff around the yard, keeps a watchful eye on his surroundings, and takes pride in his role as resident announcer. Ready to welcome this distinguished gentleman into your kingdom?FOSTER REASON: Yeah, I've got this thing called CIRD - kennel cough, basically. Been to the vet, they've got me on meds and stuff. Not feeling 100%, but I'll be back to zoomies in no time.Come meet Baron at 2400 Lonestar Dr. any day between 12 noon and 5 PM!Your castle isn't complete without him!
Hi, I'm Finn - your gentle, loyal companion-in-waitingI'm a 9-year-old beagle with a heart full of love and a nose for all the best sniffs. People say I'm "super sweet" and "friendly with everyone," and I'd have to agree - I've never met a stranger, just friends I haven't sniffed yet! I may be a little older, but that just means I've had time to learn how to be the best boy. I'm calm, kind, and really just want a cozy spot by your side (or on your lap, if you'll let me!). I love short strolls, soft beds, and quiet moments with my favorite humans. My tail wags for belly rubs, gentle ear scratches, and the occasional tasty treat. If you're looking for a sweet soul who'll greet you with soft eyes and a wagging tail every single day, I think we might just be made for each other.FOSTER REASON: I'm being treated for possible bronchitis and will need a dental procedure once I'm feeling better. After that, I'll be ready for adoption. Until then, I can be foster-to-adopt!Come meet me from 12 PM to 6 PM, open every day. No application or appointment required - walk-ins welcome. SPCA of Texas, 2400 Lone Star Drive, Dallas, TX 75212
Hiya! I'm Benson! Happy to be here! I'm just hanging out waiting on my dental procedure and mass removal appointment, but I'm sure your house would be more comfortable.

Hello! I'm Charles! I may look ancient, but I'm really only 8 years old. I'm just smart and so I have white fur on my wise head. I'm friendly and looking for a place to rest and enjoy life while I wait on my teefs to get cleaned. Think I can hang out with you and we can discuss interesting things? They say I have a heart murmur, but short walks on a leash are probably ok. Let me know and I'll get my books packed up!FOSTER REASON: Waiting on dental cleaning and monitoring heart murmur.Please email Foster@spca.org if you would like to spend time with Charles!

Hi, I'm Vivian! I'm 2 years old, house trained, and a total snuggle bug.I may be young, but I've already mastered the art of leash walking (if I do say so myself!). I love going on walks, but honestly? My favorite thing in the world is just being close to my people. Pets, belly rubs, couch cuddles - I'm all about it.I've been told I'm very well-mannered in the house, and I always do my business outside like a good girl. I'm just looking for someone who wants a loyal, loving best friend to share their days with. If you like long walks and longer snuggles, we might be a perfect match!I'm currently in a foster home, so please email foster@spca.org to schedule an appointment to meet me.
Hi, I'm Alba - a mellow older gal who enjoys peace, quiet, and taking it easy. I like pets when I'm in the mood and absolutely love a good treat. Win me over with snacks, and you'll see my warm, gentle side shine through. It would really be great if I could relax and rest in a home while all my medical issues are being sorted out. Can I take up just a little space at your house?FOSTER REASON: I'm awaiting a dental procedure, getting my hypothyroidism stabilized, and recovering from an FHO surgery - but don't worry, the medical team is taking good care of me! I'll just need to attend a few scheduled vet appointments at the SPCA before I'm ready to shine! I'm not available for adoption yet, I am available for foster or foster-to-adopt!Please email Foster@spca.org to schedule an appointment to meet me.
Hi there! My name is Cleo! I'm a young girl with a heart for exploration and adventure. Unfortunately, I seem to have hurt my back leg during one of my fun outings and the doctors here are helping me heal. It would be a lot nicer if I could recover at your house though! I have to have leash walks until I'm cleared medically, but we can still have a lot of fun sniffing the neighborhood. What do you say? FOSTER REASON: Recovery of right rear leg injury with leash walks until healed.My Foster says: She is adorable, respectful, and incredibly lovable. She approaches everyone (people and other animals) with a gentle, playful energy that instantly puts you at ease. Two of the cutest things about her is how her ears fold and her paws look like socks. She loves nothing more than to cuddle up next to you (or right on top of you) and just be close! She'll absolutely melt your heart. She's playful, too (fetch with tennis balls and tug of war with her stuffed toys are her favorite games). She's the perfect balance of fun and snuggly, and she'll make an amazing companion for someone lucky enough to bring her home.Email Foster@spca.org if you would like to meet up and see if we are a match for adventure! She is also eligible for foster to adopt and you are welcome to come in any day 12noon to 6pm to visit with her.
Hi, I'm Ziggy! I'm a sweet, goofy, and playful pup looking for my forever family! I'm crate trained, housebroken, and I love being close to my people-snuggling on the couch is one of my favorite things.I'm a big fan of tug-of-war, fetch, and chewing on tough toys (the stronger, the better!). Walks are super exciting for me-I just can't wait to see everything around me! My favorite treat is a Kong stuffed with peanut butter and kibble, and I always collect my "ice tax" when you fill your glass from the fridge. I get along great with the cat in my foster home and I really just want to be included in whatever you're doing. If you're looking for a loyal, cuddly, and fun companion, I think we'd be a perfect match!FOSTER REASON: Ziggy needs to work on some physical therapy for his back legs and spine. We're just taking it easy and helping him get stronger!Come meet me from 12 PM to 6 PM, open every day.No application or appointment required - walk-ins welcome.SPCA of Texas, 2400 Lone Star Drive, Dallas, TX 75212
Just like the lively city he's named after, Kingston is vibrant, full of life, and overflowing with love. This handsome boy is ready to bring a little island joy and loyal companionship straight into your home!Borrow a Buddy Notes:"Kingston is a total sweetheart! He recently visited a nursing home and stole every heart there - tail wagging the whole time, soaking up love, and melting for back scratches. He's social, gentle, and friendly with everyone he meets. Plus, he hopped in and out of the car all on his own and waited patiently to potty outside - what a good boy! Whether it's lounging on the couch, going for mellow walks, or simply spreading good vibes with every tail wag, Kingston is all about love and positivity. With him by your side, you can bet "every little thing is gonna be alright."FOSTER REASON: I am being treated for heartworms and awaiting a dental procedure, so I will need a calm home to relax in due to being under exercise restriction while undergoing treatment. This means I will need to be a couch potato and go for leash walks only! My foster family should be comfortable bringing me to the SPCA of Texas periodically for vet visits.Come meet me from 12 PM to 6 PM, open every day.No application or appointment required - walk-ins welcome.SPCA of Texas, 2400 Lone Star Drive, Dallas, TX 75212
Hey I'm Stoney! If you're looking for and older guy who is all about snuggling and having fun... then I'm definitely your pal! I'm all about enjoying the small things in life and having a blast while doing so. I am more than ready to have a home of my own, with a comfy bed and lots of toys! FOSTER REASON: I'm a special kind of foster we call "fospice". I had a mass removed that turned out to be the bad kind. They say more will probably grow and have to be removed, so the SPCA of Texas will take care of my medical care for the rest of my life. All I need from you is love and comfort.Please email foster@spca.org if you would like for me to spend my golden years with you!

Hi, I'm Raora! I may be small, but I've got a big personality! I'm a sleek, shorthaired kitten who loves to play, explore, and make everyone around me smile. I'm quick on my feet, curious about everything, and always ready for my next adventure.FOSTER REASON: I'm being treated for ringworm-a curable fungal infection that just needs some topical and oral medication. I'll heal much faster in a foster home than in the shelter!

The shelter will provide everything-medication, cleaning supplies, extra bedding, and plenty of guidance. All I need is a little patience, some foster love, and someone willing to help me heal!

These animals are young moms with babies, and sometimes babies without moms. Because these infants don’t have the immune systems of fully vaccinated animals, we want them to be able to grow and socialize outside of the shelter environment. Our Foster team is here to support you every step of the way!
