Meet Tera, an attractive little 5-year-old shepherd mix available for adoption from the SPCA of Texas. She is very friendly and does her best to be a well-behaved young lady. Normally it doesn’t take much to get Tera up and playful, but she has recently received treatment for heartworms, so she will need to be on exercise restrictions for a little bit, then she’ll be back to her perky self. Tera will be waiting at the SPCA of Texas Dallas Animal Care Center so no appointment is necessary; she can be visited any day between noon and 6 p.m.
Adult dogs and cats are normally a $75 adoption fee from the SPCA of Texas. Puppies and kittens under the age of six months are $150. Adoption fees vary for small mammals, equestrian and livestock.
