Adopt a Shelter Pet: Texas data reveals breed preferences

DALLAS (KDAF) — As October marks Adopt a Shelter Pet month, many Texans are considering adding a dog to their families, making it an ideal time to research the best breed for their lifestyle.

Adopt a Pet has collected annual dog adoption data to help prospective pet parents find the best match for their preferences and lifestyle.

The data revealed that the most-desired dog breeds to adopt in Texas are Chihuahuas, Dachshunds, Yorkshire Terriers, Miniature Poodles, and Shih Tzus. Among the most available breeds, only the Chihuahua appears on both the most-desired and most-available lists.

Each of the most-desired breeds is noted for being affectionate, playful, and snuggly, indicating that Texans value emotional connection with their pets.
