Lady Bug
Lady Bug

Available Since: October 6, 2025

Breed: Mixed Breed

Age: Adult

Description: Lady Bug is a sweet dog who needs a little time to feel comfortable with new people. She can be shy during her first meet-and-greets, but once she learns you come with kindness and treats, then her loyal, affectionate personality shines through. She enjoys the simple comforts in life such as soft dog beds, delicious yummy bones, and relaxing time by your side. She also loves going for walkies and exploring the world. Lady Bug came to Pawsitive Place Rescue after Smith County Animal Control & Shelter reached out to rescues with an urgent plea to help make space in their shelter. She is also a brave cancer survivor and is now healthy, and ready to find her forever home.

Lime
Lime

Available Since: May 18, 2026

Breed: Terrier Mix

Age: Adult

Description: On Saturday, May 16th, Lime was scheduled to be euthanized at Dallas Animal Services at 11:30 AM. His foster had to return him, the shelter was full, and suddenly his life was on the line again. Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time Lime has ended up back in the shelter system. He has been adopted/fostered and placed in homes that weren’t the right fit, gone through living situation changes, and experienced people realizing they weren’t fully ready for the commitment of a dog. None of this is because of anything Lime has done wrong. Just a series of repeated human failure, and each time, Lime was the one left to start over. Lime can be a little shy and overwhelmed when meeting new people or adjusting to new environments, but after everything he’s been through, we completely understand why. Once he feels comfortable, you start to see the real Lime. He gets the zoomies in the grass. He rolls onto his back when he’s happy. He proudly carries around fuzzy toys and loves curling up next to his people for couch naps. He rides great in the car, enjoys running trails, sits politely at doors, and thrives when he starts learning a routine. There is a really sweet dog hiding underneath all the stress and heartbreak shelter life has put on him. Lime needs someone kind, patient, reassuring and willing to understand that his world has been confusing and heartbreaking for a VERY long time.

Maple
Maple

Available Since: June 7, 2026

Breed: Mixed Breed

Age: Adult

Description: Maple is a 1-year-old Terrier mix who weighs only 40 lbs — the perfect size for cuddles, adventures, and couch naps. She loves exploring the yard, rolling around in the grass, carrying around her favorite tennis balls and sticks, and snuggling up in soft blankies after a long day. She also happens to be extremely photogenic and always ready for her close-up. Maple is a fun, goofy girl who will absolutely keep you smiling and protect you from negativity and bad days. She has so much personality and loves being part of the action while still being happy to curl up and relax with her people. After spending a long time in the shelter environment, Maple can be protective of her belongings, so she would do best as the only pet in the home or with an experienced handler who understands her needs and boundaries. To learn more or schedule a meet and greet with Maple, please call Pawsitive Place Rescue at 903-871-7092

Mary
Mary

Available Since: March 17, 2026

Breed: Mixed Breed

Age: Young

Description: Mary is a 25 lb sweetheart (fully grown) who came to us from Smith County Animal Control & Shelter after they put out a plea for space. She is completely deaf; however, that simply means she experiences the world a little differently and it makes her even more special. Mary thrives on companionship and would do best in a home where someone is around most of the time. Whether it’s a family with a stay at home routine or a retired individual looking for a loyal shadow, Mary is ready to fill that role perfectly. She isn’t a fan of being alone, but give her a cozy spot near her favorite person (or a comfy couch), and she’s completely content. When it’s time to rest, Mary curls up into the tiniest little ball, it’s impossible not to smile when you see her like that. Because she is deaf, Mary will need a patient adopter who is willing to communicate with her in ways she understands.

She is so ready to find a forever family to run around and enjoy life with! Snow is house, kennel and potty trained. Up to date on her shots and already spayed.
