Ruff Life: Now NOLA can let the good times roll!
NOLA is a special pup and, much like her namesake city New Orleans, has overcome obstacles and risen high on the other side.
After being hit by a car and being taken to our partners at Vet Ranch for surgery, NOLA became an honorary member of the Dallas Pets Alive! tripod club. A few days later she went home to her foster family who quickly fell in love and adopted her.

Due to her happy-go-lucky nature outside her kennel, DPA was able to find her a foster home, but that’s only the beginning of Holly’s story.

Ruff Life: Help Emmitt Smith join the Hall of Fame
Emmitt Smith, the dog, started his career on the injured reserve.
This is Emmitt.
This is Emmitt, Emmitt Smith. He’s a youngish, black-and-white lab mix with his own gorgeous eye mask who’s in the market for a forever home of his own. We thought we’d found that home for him – not once, but three times – and through no fault of his own, it didn’t work out. He […]
