Editor’s note: Featured pets may be adopted quickly, but there are always others ready for their forever home.

At the Humane Society of North Texas, adoption is about changing lives, one match at a time. Learn more about adoptions at HSNT’s Fort Worth and Keller locations, or at off-site adoption events held six days a week at HSNT.org.

February adoptions at the Humane Society of North Texas bring home the kind of love that changes family life long after the calendar moves on.

This Fur Friday features two pets who represent very different expressions of connection.

Ollie Jones is a 4-year-old jumbo rabbit whose size makes a statement. As calm as he is massive, the ever observant Ollie has a grounded presence that fills a room without demanding attention. He enjoys space to stretch out, time to take in his surroundings and steady interaction with the people he trusts. Intelligent and social by nature, Ollie is a companion for someone who values patience and presence over constant motion.

Sophie, a 3-year-old German Shepherd, brings her devotion into motion. High-energy and focused, she thrives on activity and purpose. Sophie would make an excellent running partner and is happiest when she is learning, moving and working alongside her person. Her loyalty is unmistakable and, for the right adopter, she offers a partnership built on trust, structure and shared momentum.

Ollie Jones and Sophie remind us that love does not look the same for everyone. Sometimes it asks you to slow down. Sometimes it asks you to keep up. What matters is choosing it and showing up every day after the choice is made.

The details: Where compassion meets action 

To set adopters and their new best friend up for success, every Humane Society of North Texas adoption includes:

spay/neuter surgery. 
up-to-date vaccines. 
a microchip. 
a free first exam at a participating veterinarian. 
one month of complimentary pet insurance. 

Adoption fees are based on a variety of factors, such as age, size, length of stay and public demand. Visit HSNT.org for more details and follow along on Facebook, Instagram, Threads and TikTok for stories about other friends looking for a furever home.

Cassie Davidson is the senior director of marketing, communications and public relations for the Humane Society of North Texas.
