Story
Meet Titus — the sweetest little shadow you could ask for! This boy is the definition of a velcro puppy. Wherever you are, that’s exactly where Titus wants to be. Doing chores? He’s your helper. Watching TV on the couch? He’s curled up beside you showering you with kisses. Bathroom trip? Yep… he’ll probably volunteer as your emotional support puppy there too. Titus is a happy, high-energy boy that loves zoomies and gets so excited he’ll bounce around on his back legs like a tiny kangaroo. He’s playful, goofy, and full of personality. Crinkly toys are a favorite, and chewing on his Benebone is serious business. He’s great with other dogs and kids and would love a family ready for adventures, playtime, and lots of cuddles. Titus is currently working on potty training and does really well as long as his people go outside with him — he just likes having his buddy nearby. If you’re looking for a loyal best friend that will love you with his whole heart, Titus is your boy. Local adoption fee is $250(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Meet Faith! Faith is an approximately 7 month old Chihuahua/Terrier mix (best guess) with a sweet and gentle personality. She is expected to stay on the smaller side, likely under 25 pounds fully grown based on her current age and weight. Faith is friendly with kids and other dogs and is already house trained using a doggy door. She can be a little shy when meeting new people and may take a little extra time to warm up, especially in busy environments, but once she feels safe, she is the sweetest little companion. Faith is more reserved in nature and happiest simply sitting quietly near you on the couch rather than being in your lap. She has a calm, gentle presence and would thrive in a loving home that will give her patience, reassurance, and time to build confidence. Faith will be spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines and preventions prior to adoption. $250 Local Adoption Fee (in Texas) $550 Out of State Fee (includes transport to your area)

These pups are in Newark, Delaware too!

We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit that rescues and places homeless, neglected or abused dogs from high-kill shelters in the south into loving, responsible committed and permanent homes. We feel our comprehensive adoption process which includes not only taking the time to match the dog to the prospective new owner but helping to educate that owner in responsible dog care, allows us to find the best homes for our little buddies and the best companions for you! Each week we use USDA certified transports to bring dogs from high-kill shelters in the south to our fosters where they all receive the appropriate medical care and are placed in nurturing loving homes while they await placement in their forever homes. Interested in one of our dogs? Great! Now that you've seen them here you'll need to go to our website where you'll find our list of adoptable dogs (updated every week).

If everything works out, they will set an appointment with you so come out and "visit" with the dog you're interested in (we want to make sure that not only are you a good fit for the dog but that the dog will fit with you). If everything works out, you'll be able to take rover (or spot, or jax) home with you that very day. A couple of things you should know: We can't hold dogs over the phone or via email.
