I have a pit bull cocker spaniel & chihuahua mixed with terrier
I believe the dallas animal shelter which is about a half mile away from the spca is a no kill shelter. They will put down animals that are too sick to recover and also put down animals whose behavior is not acceptable for adoption.
If you haven't heard from the SPCA within 30 days, it means the intake is full. I would recommend Google search of your specific pets breed for a rescue organization. There are a great many that take animal surrenders and will foster to adopt.
