My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

COURTESY POST: On Good Friday, April 18th, 2025, a little miracle wandered into the lives of a kind-hearted family. Dusty-pawed and wide-eyed, an 8-month-old shepherd mix pup—now lovingly called Buddy—was found roaming the streets, unsure of where to go next. Weighing about 45 pounds, Buddy is still growing into those big paws of his, destined to be a good-sized dog with an even bigger heart. When he was found, he had no tags, no microchip, and no clues to help bring him back to his original owners. The family that found him did everything they could—posting flyers, making calls, searching online—but weeks passed, and no one came forward. It broke their hearts to realize that Buddy may have been left behind. But that didn’t break Buddy’s spirit. Though a bit shy at first, Buddy is a total sweetheart once he gives you a sniff and decides you pass his “trust test.” After that he is all love. Buddy is wonderful with kids and gets along beautifully with other dogs. Loves giving chase, gnawing on bone or rope tug. He is ready for his forever home. Buddy even has his own Facebook page so you can keep up with him @Buddy Philip. If you want a fun, young dog to complete your family, please let us know.

We are a RESCUE GROUP, not a shelter, and all of our animals are in foster homes. To start the adoption process, email us at adoptions@earstexas.org requesting an application. Submitting an application does not commit you in any way, but helps us make the best match between people and our available dogs. Your current or past dogs must be inside dogs who have been spayed/neutered and are on heartworm prevention.

All of the dogs in our program are inside dogs and are completely vetted including all vaccinations, spayed/neutered, free of internal parasites, microchipped, heartworm negative and on prevention before adoption. Our adoption process includes an application, check of vet records or personal references, interview, neutral site meet & greet with the dog and your family, and a home visit.
