Meet Barqs, the 8-year-old beagle who has earned his title as the Retired Cowboy and our @cbsnewstexas Pet of the Week! Though he looks ready to ride the dusty trails in his bandana and hat, this distinguished gentleman has one current priority: finding the perfect sunbeam for a quiet snooze.

Barqs brings a calming, predictable disposition to any home. He’s past the puppy chaos, and his simple pleasures include a leisurely morning walk, soaking up the sun’s “Solar Power,” and, above all, receiving a proper belly rub. If you’re looking for a loyal, easygoing companion ready to hang up his spurs and settle onto your sofa, Barqs is your guy.

Come adopt Braqs TODAY at our @petsmart Montgomery Plaza adoption event happening from 10am to 3pm.

We had an incredible day at TCU thanks to the amazing students who turned out in a big way—must’ve been the puppy love! 🐶💜

From @tcuzeta’s Think Pink event, raising awareness and funds for breast cancer education, to the Volunteer Fair where students learned how to get involved with HSNT—this is what powerful partnerships look like.

Whether it’s a Doggy Day Out, helping at the shelter, or taking on a service project from home, these students are stepping up for pets and their community. We’re proud to work alongside future changemakers who prove just how much good we can do when we come together.

It’s #NationalAdoptionWeek— this is YOUR chance to save a life…

Witnesses report a golden blur zipping through the aisles, leaving a trail of happiness, crumbs, and pure chaos. After careful investigation, the culprit has been identified as Toast, our CBS News Texas Pet of the Week!

This 2-year-old Welsh Corgi (Pembroke variety, certified cutie) has been charming unsuspecting shoppers with her signature Corgi wiggle and award-winning grin. Experts warn: once you pet her, you may experience side effects such as spontaneous laughter, sudden urges to go for walks, and the uncontrollable need to say “Who’s a good girl?” every five minutes.

Toast is a perfect blend of silly and smart—part snack enthusiast, part shadow, and 100% heart-melter. Whether she’s prancing proudly by your side or supervising from the couch, she’s happiest when she’s in the middle of the action.

So if you’re looking for a loyal little ghostbuster of gloom and boredom, come meet Toast TODAY at PetSmart Montgomery Plaza (10am–3pm)!

Find even more boo-tacular pets at our PetSmart's National Adoption Week locations:

Unexplained cuteness chaos at PetSmart! 👀

Authorities (PetSmart Charities) confirm reports of mysterious furry entities roaming the aisles during #NationalAdoptionWeek. Eyewitnesses describe them as “too cute to resist” and “suspiciously soft.” 🐾

Victims claim they were ambushed by wagging tails, bewitched by puppy eyes, and found themselves signing adoption papers before they even knew what happened. 😱💞 Experts now classify the phenomenon as Level 10 Adorabnormal Activity.

⚠️ Side effects may include: uncontrollable giggling, baby talk in public, and a sudden need to buy matching Halloween costumes for you and your new sidekick. 👻🐶🐱

Meet Atticus – Our @cbsnewstexas Pet of the Week

Can you imagine spending two years in a shelter with no families walking by, no laughter in the halls, and almost no adoptions? That was life for Atticus, a 6-year-old Catahoula Leopard Dog who waited patiently in a small rural Texas shelter with little to no foot traffic.

Despite the quiet days and long nights, Atticus never gave up. He learned his commands, perfected his handshake, and found joy in every squeaky toy he could find. When HSNT stepped in to support the shelter, Atticus finally got his second chance—one filled with love, care, and hope.

Now, during PetSmart’s National Adoption Week, Atticus represents one of the many stories that remind us why adoption matters. There are countless pets just like him waiting for families to see them, love them, and bring them home.

Atticus is gentle, social, and ready to share his heart. He’s Heartworm+, but his treatment is fully covered for life through HSNT, so you can adopt this sweet boy worry-free.

Meet Atticus today from 10 a.m.–3 p.m. at our @PetSmart Montgomery Plaza adoption event—and let him show you what adopting joy truly means.

Congratulations Padme!! 👑✨🎉

We rescued darling Padme from a cruelty case along with three other horses. She arrived at the ranch underweight and in very poor condition. During her intake exam, it was determined that Padme needed to be on a soaked diet due to the condition of her teeth.

After five months of regaining her strength, Queen Padme was ready to find her new forever home! Padme’s adopter came to the ranch seeking a smaller horse to be a companion for her other mare. Sweet Padme was the perfect match ❤️

We are so happy for all! Happy Trails, Padme!

❣️NATIONAL ADOPTION WEEK ADOPTION SUCCESS STORY❣️

I found Vera at an HSNT @PetSmart Ridgmar National Adoption event when I was looking for another dog after my beloved German Shepherd mix, Max, passed away at the age of fifteen. My remaining dog, Oakley, a miniature Australian Shepherd, was lonely without a companion. I was used to having multiple dogs, so I went to the event hoping to find just the right dog to share a home with Oakley and me.
Vera was the second dog brought in from the van, and I was immediately drawn to her. She was about the same size and age as Oakley, calm yet inquisitive, and so good-natured. She let me walk her around the store and was friendly with both people and other dogs. After much consideration, I knew she would be a wonderful fit—and she was so deserving of a loving home.

I haven’t regretted my decision for a single moment! Vera and Oakley get along beautifully, and Vera has been a delight from the start. She’s smart, adaptable, playful, and very sweet. She settled into her new home almost immediately, and since I work from home, my two girls are with me all the time.

Thank you all for the incredible work you do for dogs and cats. 💚

PetSmart's National Adoption Week starts THIS Monday, October 20th - check out our events pages and social media pages to see which locations HSNT will be at so YOU can find your very own Vera!

He’s got “sit” down to a T (and maybe “spookily handsome” too), and he’ll do absolutely anything for a treat — we’re talking tricks, tail wags, maybe even a full moon howl if you ask nicely.

He’s down for any adventure — from moonlit walks to midnight snacks — and he always answers to “Who’s a good boy?” (Spoiler: it’s him. Always him.)

He’s heartworm positive, but HSNT covers his treatment!

So don’t ghost this good boy. Adopt Travis TODAY at @PetSmart Montgomery Plaza from 10am–3pm. Learn more at hsnt.org.

❣️ CENTRAL TEXAS ADOPTION SUCCESS STORY ❣️

From floodwaters in Central Texas to forever homes — Katy and Karter’s journey is one of resilience, hope, and love.

These two were among more than 100 pets that the Humane Society of North Texas welcomed into our adoption program after devastating floods struck Central Texas. From sitting in a shelter with an uncertain future, to being flown to North Texas, to finding one another again at an HSNT adoption event at @PetSmart — their story came full circle when they were adopted together.

Their adopters shared:

“We’re adapting to having them in our laps all day and our bed at night. This is new territory for us, but we’re really enjoying their cuddly and affectionate natures. We’ve been lucky with all our dogs over the years, but these two have slid right into our routines. With doggie door training only taking a couple of days, there have been very few accidents. They are both so happy to be here!

Katy was a little reserved at first, but she came around within the first week—offering kisses and cuddles as soon as she felt safe. We love how bonded they are to each other and have had zero issues with separation anxiety. Overall, it has blessed us immensely, filling the holes left by losing our previous pets so close to each other.”

From surviving the flood to being flooded with love, Katy and Karter remind us that every act of rescue changes two lives — theirs and yours. 💚

Adopt. Foster. Support.
Because every pet deserves a home.

🐾 @nbcdfw Pet of the Week: Monty 🐾

Monty is a 3 month old gray tabby kitten with a heart full of love and just a slight case of clumsy charm. 😸

Monty may not have the best depth perception, but that doesn’t stop him from trying his hardest! When he plays with his feather toy, he’ll try to catch it and somehow is always just a second too late and proudly think he’s conquered the world. It’s impossible not to smile watching this determined little guy in action.

Sweet, gentle, and endlessly endearing, Monty is ready to find his forever home with someone who will love him for his quirks and cheer him on every step (and stumble) of the way.

📍 Available for adoption TODAY

🕙 10 AM – 3 PM

📍 @petsmart – Grand Prairie

Come meet Monty today. He may not catch every feather, but he’s guaranteed to catch your heart! ❤️

Tomorrow’s the big day! Stop by @PetSmart Montgomery Plaza or Grand Prairie from 10am–3pm to meet your new cuddle buddy, pumpkin spice snuggle partner, and leaf-crunching bestie. 🍂 Whether you’re looking for a playful pup to join your autumn adventures or a cozy cat to curl up with during movie nights, we’ve got the perfect match waiting just for you.

These adorable adoptables are ready to fill your home with unconditional love, tail wags, and paw prints on your heart (and maybe your favorite sweater). 😉🐶🐱

So grab your leash, sip your latte, and come meet your furever friend — because this fall love story starts with adoption. 🍂❤️

Meet Daisy — the 8-month-old German Shepherd and our @cbsnewstexas Pet of the Week!

She’s got nightlife zoomies and daytime snoozies down to an art form. With those radar-dish ears and puppy-dog eyes, she’s basically one gentle head tilt away from stealing your heart (and your spot on the couch).

Daisy is calm, timid, and oh-so-sweet — the kind of pup who just needs a little love and reassurance to bloom into her full majestic shepherd glory. She also loves the water, so if your weekends involve lakes, sprinklers, or kiddie pools, she’s already packing her floaties.

At this perfect in-between age, she’s ready to grow up alongside your family, learn all the good-dog skills, and maybe even teach you the fine art of the mid-day nap.

If you’re looking for a tenderhearted sidekick with gentle energy, a splash of playfulness, and world-class ears, Daisy’s waiting to meet you TODAY at our @PetSmart Montgomery Plaza Adoption Event happening from 10am to 3pm! Learn more at hsnt.org.

Meet Frank & Esme — 3-month-old sibling bunnies and our @cbsnewstexas Pets of the Week!

If you think their names sound familiar, you’re not wrong — they’re basically the Twilight version of the bunny world. 🌙💫 Except instead of brooding in the forest, these two are hopping through hay piles and stealing hearts faster than Edward runs up a mountain. 🧛‍♂️💨

Frank’s the curious one — always the first to explore new territory — while Esme is the gentle, wise soul who keeps her brother in line (most of the time). Together, they’re the ultimate dynamic duo of cuteness and chaos.

They’re looking for a forever home that appreciates their sparkle — preferably one without vampires, but we’re flexible. Come meet these siblings TODAY at our @PetSmart Montgomery Plaza Adoption Event from 10am to 3pm. Learn more at hsnt.org.

Celebrating another very special adoption this week! 🎉

Congratulations to the one and only Han Solo!!

We rescued this sweet mustang from an extreme cruelty case. Upon arrival at the ranch, he was in very poor condition and was depressed.

He went through a lot to get healthy, but recently the beautiful light came back to his eyes and he started to canter around his pasture showing off and bonding with everyone he met! 🥰

Thank you to the amazing vet team at Reata Equine Hospital for all of your loving care of Han during his stays with you!

Han has settled in wonderfully at his new forever home and we couldn’t be happier for this resilient guy and his new owner!!

Happy Trails, Han Solo! May the Force be with you! ✨
