ID #A2083553
6-year-old Male German Shepherd Mix, Black / White
Weight: 56.4 lbs
Intake Date: 6/30/2026
Banjo came in with another dog, who is not currently on the euthanasia list (ID #A2083552, picture in comments).

Medical Notes:
Banjo is heartworm positive and has mild dermatitis affecting his ears, head, chest, shoulders, and legs. A skin scrape was negative for mites, and no secondary skin infection was found. He has been treated with Advantage Multi and pyrantel dewormer, and has received his DA2PP, Bordetella, and Rabies vaccines. His skin condition is considered mild and manageable with continued care.

Behavior Notes:
Banjo is a gentle but frightened dog who appears shut down by the shelter environment. He will slowly approach when spoken to kindly and allowed time to build trust, but becomes fearful when asked to leave the kennel. He often prefers to remain curled up on his blanket and has needed gentle handling due to his fear.

Hallie needs a Super Hero Today!

EXTENDED TO 7/5 AT 2pm.

🚨 SCHEDULED FOR EUTHANASIA 7/2 @ 2PM 🚨
Repost from iloverescue

When I walked past Hallie’s kennel, she was asleep in a way that only comes when a dog finally feels still enough to rest. Curled up, quiet, and briefly at ease inside a place that is anything but permanent for her. It was one of those moments where everything looks peaceful on the surface, but the reality behind it sits heavy.

She has been at the shelter since 4/20/26 after being confiscated from a situation she could not stay in anymore. Whatever her life looked like before that point isn’t something we fully see here, but what has been seen since is consistent: a steady, social young dog with no negative notes since intake.

There is something very grounding about her presence. She has gotten along with other dogs she’s been kenneled with, and she has remained friendly with people throughout her stay. No sharp edges from her time here, just a dog trying to exist in a place that was never meant to be home.

Watching her sleep, it’s hard not to think about how many nights she has already spent waiting in that same space. Each one passing without her understanding why the waiting keeps going on.

Now she is out of time, not because of behavior or anything she has done, but because she has simply been there too long without placement. She is scheduled for euthanasia on June 30 at 2:00 PM.

Hallie needs someone to step in before that moment comes a foster, adopter, or rescue who can give her what the shelter cannot: stability, consistency, and a place that doesn’t feel temporary.

She has already shown who she is in every interaction available to her there. A gentle, social dog who settles in and gets along. She just needs the chance to do it somewhere she can finally stay.

Emerson is one of our longest residents, and he’s had zero interest. The chance of him making it out before his euthanasia date is so slim and it’s making me so sad. Emerson is a senior dog that clearly had a family and then was dumped. He’s in rough shape, has some lumps and bumps around his body, but he is so extremely resilient. Emerson doesn’t hold a grudge against people, he just loves everyone. Emerson is a big “scary” looking dog, but in reality he’s got a just as big heart. He’s never once been mean or scary. He literally just wants to be cuddled.

At 8 years old, he’d rather wear pajamas than act tough. SOCIAL w/ CALM DOGS in playgroup. He Didn’t engage when a dog went after him. With humans he is the softest, most affectionate giant lap baby. All he wants is cuddle time and he’s so happy just to get a few moments of love . Then the yard time is over, and he goes right back to waiting. He knows basic commands; Knows sit & gives

💙 Dozer A544391 (ADOPTABLE): male, 5 years old and 48 lbs. (Needs ADOPTER or FOSTER & RESCUE).

Shelter link: https://www.ocnetpets.com/Adopt/AnimalsinShelter.aspx?types=D&animalid=A544391

Dozer had been previously adopted from the shelter and returned as a stray. He looks very skinny! He needs a wonderful home where he can get lots of care and love. He is very friendly, easily leashed and easily paired with other dogs. He is currently sharing kennel 05 with Frankie (an intact male dog).

🩷 Marshmallow A554772 (ADOPTABLE): female, 6 years old and 83 lbs. (Needs ADOPTER or FOSTER & RESCUE).

Marshmallow is a sweet senior dog! She loves children and is very gentle with them! She has been easily paired multiple times. The shelter says she seems to prefer male dogs over female dogs, but Marshmallow is currently sharing kennel 36 with Teetee (intact female dog).

Shelter link: https://www.ocnetpets.com/Adopt/AnimalsinShelter.aspx?types=D&animalid=A554772

💙 Conrad A593755 (ADOPTABLE): male, 7 years old and 64 lbs. (Needs ADOPTER or FOSTER & RESCUE).

Conrad is a friendly boy who has been easily paired with other dogs (he is currently sharing kennel 01 with Apollo - neutered male dog). He is getting stressed out in the kennel and is much happier once he is out in the play yard.

Shelter link: https://www.ocnetpets.com/Adopt/AnimalsinShelter.aspx?types=D&animalid=A593755

🩷 Rosalee A596914 (ADOPTABLE): female, 3 years old and 44 lbs. (Needs ADOPTER or FOSTER & RESCUE).

Rosalee is a very sweet girl who keeps getting overlooked because she is housed in the isolation building due to her brachycephalic breed (short-nosed) as the regular kennels are too hot for her. She has previously shared her kennel with another dog but has shown that she prefers to have her people all to herself.

Shelter link: https://www.ocnetpets.com/Adopt/AnimalsinShelter.aspx?types=D&animalid=A596914

💙 Elfie A599219 (ADOPTABLE): male, 3 years old and 46 lbs. (Needs ADOPTER or FOSTER & RESCUE).

Elfie was brought into the shelter as a stray. Elfie’s finder stated that it took some time for Elfie to warm up to the family but he did very well with their young child. At the shelter, Elfie has been timid. He needs a patient family to show him the way and boost his confidence.

Shelter link: https://www.ocnetpets.com/Adopt/AnimalsinShelter.aspx?types=D&animalid=A599219

🩷 Trixie A599260 (ADOPTABLE): female, 4 years old and 89 lbs. (Needs ADOPTER or FOSTER & RESCUE).

This beautiful and sweet girl was found abandoned in a park by a citizen and she has some medical issues. She is a little fearful and needs a patient family who can provide the care and love she needs and deserves.

Shelter link: https://www.ocnetpets.com/Adopt/AnimalsinShelter.aspx?types=D&animalid=A599260

🩷 Almond Joy A599427 (ADOPTABLE): female, 2 years old and 39 lbs. (Needs ADOPTER or FOSTER & RESCUE).

This sweet girl arrived at the shelter after being found as a stray by Kirkman Rd and Raleigh St. She is friendly and easily paired. She is currently sharing kennel  16 with Eria (intact female dog). Beautiful Almond Joy is blind and she needs a wonderful and loving home!

Shelter link: https://www.ocnetpets.com/Adopt/AnimalsinShelter.aspx?types=D&animalid=A599427

🩷 Luna A525710 (RESCUE ONLY): female, 5 years old and 93 lbs. (Needs FOSTER & RESCUE).

Beautiful Luna was surrendered by her caretaker after her owner went out of state and had trouble returning. She is very timid and insecure at first but walks very nicely on leash without pulling. She is an affection seeker, once she warms up to you and seemed neutral when another spayed female dog was introduced.

10month old Blaze is on 7/7 euthanasia deadline ‼️ NYC Shelter 🚨

Please comment share pledge foster adopt rescue

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1NqaxvSmdY/?mibextid=wwXIfr

TO BE EUTHANIZED 7/7/26 IN NYC

BLAZE is a sweet, friendly, playful PUPPY who has spent his time at the ACC hanging out in the staff’s office. Quite frankly, we are shocked to see him on the dreaded list to be euthanized but here we are. Please watch his movie and read his staff notes. Blaze needs you now! Please message our page ASAP to foster or adopt this stellar boy.

MY MOVIE:
BLAZE, ID 253264❤️FRIENDLY BOY
https://youtu.be/JT32lQQpfAk

A staff member writes:

Meet Blaze! This handsome 10-month-old boy is full of potential and ready to find a family to call his own. Blaze is an alert, intelligent dog who enjoys learning and already knows several basic cues, including sit, stay, wait, slow, and no. His previous owner described him as eager to learn and ready for training, making him a great candidate for someone interested in continuing his education and helping him reach his full potential.

As a young dog, Blaze loves staying active and enjoys running, playing with rope toys, and relaxing with his favorite people after a day of fun. He is looking for an adopter who can provide him with regular exercise, enrichment, and consistent guidance.

Blaze's previous owner reported some resource guarding around food and toys. Because of this, we recommend a home with no children under the age of 13 and adopters who are committed to using positive reinforcement training and appropriate management techniques. With structure, patience, and understanding, Blaze has the potential to be a wonderful companion.

If you're looking for a smart, energetic young dog who is eager to learn and grow alongside you, Blaze may be the perfect match!

PLAYGROUP SUMMARIES: DOG TO DOG:

6/30: Blaze greets a F LMB dog at the gate offering bouncy play behavior. He paws at her face and is walked away.

ENRICHMENT NOTES:

Blaze is a very active, playful dog who loves being around people and enjoys plenty of attention and affection. He can be quite vocal and is highly social, preferring to spend most of his time either near his family or in his crate, though he experiences high anxiety and does not do well when crated for extended periods. Blaze allows his family to bathe and brush him without issue, but he is fearful and uncomfortable with nail trims. On walks, he is a strong puller and can be somewhat difficult to manage on leash, typically enjoying walks that last 20–30 minutes without a set schedule. During car rides, Blaze may have occasional accidents, including both urinating and defecating in the vehicle. He knows several basic cues, including sit, stay, wait, slow, and no. His previous owner’s favorite thing about him was that he is alert, eager, and ready to learn through training. Blaze’s favorite activities include running, relaxing, and playing with rope toys.

7/2: Blaze was given frozen enrichment. Blaze sniffed the enrichment, then looked at staff. Staff reached out a finger to pet Blaze. Blaze quickly went to bite the staff's finger, with a snapping biting motion. It was very quick and when staff pulled away, he began to eat.

7.1: Blaze was at the front of the pop-up crate with a wiggly body. He was let out into the secured room and immediately began jumping up and down on staff. When staff attempted to leash him, Blaze began biting the leash and engaging in a game of tug-of-war. Staff released the leash and began calling his name to redirect his attention. Once his name was called, Blaze would immediately release and continue walking. Staff were eventually able to leash Blaze, and once leashed, he turned his head and applied slight pressure to a staff member’s leg with his mouth before slipping out of the leash. During the process of re-leashing him, Blaze nipped at the staff member’s hand but did not break skin or leave any marks. Blaze was then taken outside for a walk, where he grabbed the leash a few times. Once his name was called, he would release the leash and continue walking. Once the walk was over, Blaze returned to his kennel without any issues.

6.30 Blaze is exuberant in his pop up when staff approaches, loose body and wiggly, jumping up as staff leash him. Blaze remains high energy with a soft body on his walk. During his walk blaze grabs items her finds on the sidewalk and holds them, needing to be distracted with treats and a squeaker for staff to reclaim the items. Blaze's leash is easily clipped and he is returned to his pop-up

6.26: When staff approached Blaze’s kennel, he was jumping up and down with a loose and wiggly body. Staff made multiple attempts to leash him due to him wearing a cone following his neuter surgery. Once leashed, Blaze was taken outside for a walk where he walked side to side while exploring his surroundings. On the way back to his kennel, he pulled moderately on the leash. Staff was able to remove his leash without issue and provide him with a treat.

6.21 Blaze is at the front of his kennel. he has a soft and wiggly body when approached, and is exuberant jumping and pushing out of his pop up when approached. Once leashed Blaze is taken for a walk.
Blaze has a soft body and pulls a mild amount while on the walk. He ignores people passed and is easily returned to his kennel.

6.19 Blaze is at the front of his popup crate barking as staff approaches. He has stepped or jumped in his feces and gotten them everywhere. Staff attempts to leash him but he keeps jumping and they can't get the leash over his head. Staff closes off the meet and greet room and opens the popup; when he heads for the door, they slip the loop over his head easily and take him for a walk. He walks with loose body and minimal pulling, but does veer back and forth quite a bit. Staff attempts to encourage him to walk through the grass to help clean his hind feet of feces, but he shies away from it. He walks eagerly, sniffing occasionally. He is very interested by a small box truck, and keeps trying to look up into the cab. He pulls towards several members of the public with high wagging tail and soft face: a group of young adults, a young man, and a middle-aged woman. He ignores offered treats but is easily redirected verbally and with a gentle tug. He returns to his crate without incident and eagerly investigates his toys. He barks for several minutes after his crate is covered but then settles.

6.18 PM Blaze is at the front of his kennel as staff approaches. He is wiggly and bouncy as the staff attempts to leash him, and keeps tangling his legs in the leash. After several tries, staff is able to slip the loop over his head and take him out to the yard, where they attach a drag lead. He explores the yard some, playing with a tennis ball. He tucks his ears back each time he approaches the bench where staff is sitting and shows little interest in treats. He relaxes on a snuffle mat and chews on the tennis ball, although he keeps flinching at loud noises or when the strong winds shake the tarps along the sides of the yard. When staff approach to leash him again, he evades them with a loose and wiggly body. Staff grabs his drag leash and re-leashes him eagerly, then returns him to the building, taking him to a pop-up crate instead of his previous kennel. He needs coaxing to enter the crate but does go in to investigate the toys and treats. For the rest of the evening, he keeps barking and crying when his crate is not covered (and even sometimes when it is).

6.18 Blaze is at the front of his kennel. He is exuberant with a soft and wiggly body as staff attempts to leash him. He allows staff to adjust the leash in a different room before, still keeping his exuberant and soft body, while being taken on a walk. Blaze walks with a soft body with mild to moderate pulling and is responsive to the handler.

INTAKE BEHAVIOR
Date of Intake: 17-Jun-2026
Summary: very energetic, friendly

MEDICAL BEHAVIOR
Date of Initial:18-Jun-2026
Summary: Friendly, high energy, sits for treats, allowed handling with gentle restraint

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION: Level 4

Recommendations:
No children under 13

Recommendations comments:
No children (under 13): Due to potential challenges, we recommend a home with no children. Blaze lived with an older small dog and was reported to alert bark, lunges, hard barks and/or growls, and snaps. Blaze has done well greeting other large dogs at the gate. We recommend slow introductions and keeping resources separated should he go to a home with another dog.

Potential challenges:
House soiling
Resource guarding
Basic manners/poor impulse control
Mouthiness/poor bite inhibition
Anxiety
Leash-biting

Potential challenges comments:
House Soiling: Blaze is reported to have accidents in the previous home. He will need guidance and consistency to learn to eliminate outside. We recommend crate training (the crate must be made positive and never used as a punishment), frequent walks, rewards for eliminating outside, consistent feeding schedule and careful monitoring when inside. Accidents should never be punished as it will likely make the problem worse. Please see the handout on House Soiling.

Resource guarding: Blaze finds food & toys of a high value. He has a tense body or hovers over them, snaps or attempts to bite, growls or hard barks. We recommend Blaze be left alone when eating. Nothing should ever be taken directly out of his mouth. Should you have to remove something from Blaze, we recommend always trading for something of an equal or higher value. He should be taught the “drop” cue and trade-up games. Please see handout on Resource Guarding.

Basic Manner/Impulse Control: Blaze lacks basic manners and impulse control. It is recommended that default behaviors such as "Leave it", "Sit/Stay", "Down" are reinforced to substitute any frustration and teach him to control his impulses instead of simply reacting; proper management is also advised. Force-free, reward-based training only is recommended. Please see the handout on Basic Manners and Impulse Control.

Mouthiness/Poor Bite Inhibition: Blaze is quick to put their teeth on skin. This is likely an attention-seeking behavior, but it should be replaced with an alternative behavior as it can frighten people. We recommend never playing with bare hands – always with a toy - and ending play or attention whenever Blaze puts teeth on skin. He should be rewarded with attention and treats when he stops and/or when he is seeking attention in alternate ways. Please see handout on Mouthiness and Poor Bite Inhibition.

Anxiety: Blaze is reported to have anxiety in his previous home. If Blaze displays anxious behavior in his future home, we recommend puzzle toys, long walks, and giving him other things to focus on to alleviate his anxiety. Positive reinforcement, force-free training only should be used. Please see the handout on Generalized Anxiety.

Leash Biting: Blaze is quick to grab the leash in his mouth. We recommend walking him with treats or a toy to dissuade him from grabbing the leash. Positive reinforcement, force-free training is advised to teach him to focus on you rather than grabbing the leash. Please see the handout on Leash Manners.

Bio

Julian is looking for a patient adopter who can help him settle in at his own pace. The shelter has been a scary place for him, and he has been observed feeling overwhelmed in his kennel while preferring the comfort of his bed. With time, patience, and gentle encouragement, Julian may begin to build confidence as he adjusts to a new environment. He is waiting for someone willing to give him the chance to decompress and show his personality in a quieter setting.

Due to capacity at the shelter, this pet is currently at risk for euthanasia. We are urgently seeking placement through adoption, foster, or approved rescue.

If you are interested in adopting, fostering, or rescuing this dog, please email dasadopt@dallas.gov as soon as possible. When emailing, be sure to include a callback phone number so our team can contact you promptly.
