Meet Cinnamon

Meet Cinnamon, a resilient and loving dog with a heart full of adventure and a spirit that shines brighter every day. Cinnamon has been through quite a journey in his young life, arriving at DAS in the fall of 2022, where he was first fostered before being adopted in December. Unfortunately, he returned to DAS in February 2024 due to his adoptive family's housing struggles. Despite these setbacks, Cinnamon's spirit remains unbroken, blossoming with each passing day in his foster home. Cinnamon is a gentle soul who gets along wonderfully with children and all types of dogs. Though initially shy when meeting new friends, both furry and human, Cinnamon quickly warms up, revealing his happy and courageous personality. This well-mannered boy is fully leash trained, crate trained, and house trained. He has a moderate energy level, loving both, his daily outdoor adventures or a leisurely walk-and quiet downtime. He adores car rides, always eager to stick his head out the window and enjoy the breeze, making him the perfect companion for road trips and everyday errands alike. Cinnamon is a quick learner and he continues to build his confidence daily, making him a perfect fit for a loving home that can offer him stability, affection, and a dash of adventure. If you're looking for a companion who will stand by your side through thick and thin, Cinnamon is ready to fill your home with love and joy.

Adopting Cinnamon — FAQ

How do I adopt Cinnamon?

Use the adoption link or contact details on this page to apply directly with Dallas Pets Alive in Dallas, Texas. Lily's Second Chance lists Cinnamon to help them get seen — the adoption is handled by that organization.

Is Cinnamon still available for adoption?

Cinnamon's listing is refreshed regularly, but availability can change quickly as dogs are adopted. Always confirm Cinnamon is still available directly with Dallas Pets Alive before making plans.

Is Cinnamon a senior dog?

Yes. Every dog listed on Lily's Second Chance, including Cinnamon, is a senior — generally age 7 or older. Senior dogs are often already house-trained and calm, and they wait the longest for a home.

Can I foster Cinnamon instead of adopting?

Some shelters and rescues offer a foster-to-adopt path — you foster first, then complete the adoption if the match feels right. Check Cinnamon's profile for the organization's contact details and ask them directly whether a fostering option is available.

What should I expect in the first weeks after adopting Cinnamon?

Senior dogs typically have a brief adjustment period of a few days to a couple of weeks as they settle into a new home. They may be quiet or shy at first, then relax once they feel safe. A calm routine, a comfortable place to sleep, and patience usually make the transition smooth. Most senior dogs settle in faster than puppies because they are already past the demanding early stage.

Is Cinnamon good with children or other pets?

Compatibility depends on the individual dog's history and personality more than age or breed alone. Dallas Pets Alive can tell you about Cinnamon's known behavior around children, cats, and other dogs. Many organizations offer a meet-and-greet before finalizing an adoption to make sure the match is right for everyone.
