Story
Meet Mary Ann and Ginger, an adorable bonded pair of medium-sized rescue dogs who are searching for their forever home. These super cute girls have spent their entire lives on their own until they were recently rescued. Despite their rough beginnings, Mary Ann and Ginger are incredibly sweet and are now learning to enjoy the comforts of a loving home. Both Mary Ann and Ginger get along wonderfully with other dogs, though they haven't had the chance to meet any cats yet. They need a patient adopter who will give them the time and space they need to adjust to their new surroundings and discover the joys of being cherished pets. Ginger, who bravely underwent heartworm treatment, is now healthy and heartworm negative. Both dogs are fully vetted, spayed, microchipped, and on preventatives. They even tolerate baths and absolutely love being petted. Currently, Mary Ann and Ginger are being fostered in Seguin, TX, where they are receiving the care and love they deserve. If you have a kind heart and a gentle hand, these two sweethearts will surely reward you with endless affection and loyalty. Adopt Mary Ann and Ginger and give them the loving home they've always dreamed of.

Story
Hi, I’m Dingo! I’m a 2-year-old Basenji mix with a sweet heart and gentle personality. I’m an affectionate pup who will happily jump into your arms for cuddles and kisses.I can be a sensitive guy and I’m very wary of men or new experiences, so I do best with patience, kindness, and gentle encouragement while I learn that the world is a safe place. Once I feel comfortable, my loving personality really shines! I would do best with someone who understands that I am not comfortable meeting strangers and willing to handle my reactions. I walk nicely on a leash, get along great with other dogs, and I’m ready to brighten someone’s life with my loyal companionship.If you’re looking for a tender-hearted best friend who will bond closely with you and reward your kindness with endless love, I might be your perfect match.

Story
Meet Nala – Ready for Her Fresh Start Nala is a 3 ½-year-old Black Mouth Cur/Basenji mix with a heart as sweet as her gentle spirit. Her journey hasn’t been an easy one—she was found as a pregnant stray, and despite the challenges, she devoted herself to raising her puppies with love and care. Now that her little ones are grown, it’s finally Nala’s turn to shine and experience what it means to be the one who’s cherished. This beautiful girl is fully vetted—spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and kept on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention—so she’s ready to step into her forever home. She is both kennel trained and potty trained, which makes her an easy fit into a new routine. Nala also walks nicely on a leash and rides well in the car when kenneled, making outings and adventures with her a pleasure. Nala’s personality is a mix of sweetness and playfulness. She loves to play, enjoys attention, and thrives when she’s at the center of her family’s world. With her soulful eyes and quiet charm, she’s the kind of companion who will be devoted and loyal once trust is built. Her perfect home would not have small children, as her enthusiasm and playful energy could easily knock them over. She blossoms in a calm and structured environment and is ready to pour her love into the people who open their hearts to her. Nala has been through so much, but her resilient spirit shines. She’s more than ready for her new beginning—a safe, loving home where she can finally rest, play, and be adored. Could Nala be your perfect match?

Story
Spirit may be a little shy when you first meet her, but give her a little time and you’ll quickly see her sweet personality shine through. Once she warms up, she’s full of love, playful energy, and puppy curiosity. She absolutely loves toys and has a great time playing with other dogs! Still just a puppy, Spirit is learning the ropes of living in a home. She’s already crate trained and doing her best with potty training—she’s a smart girl and catching on more every day. With a little patience and consistency, she’s going to make an amazing companion. Spirit has such a gentle, loving soul. One of her favorite things to do is stretch out and soak up the sunshine, enjoying the simple comforts of feeling safe and cared for. Her story started off a little rough—she was found in a ditch with her siblings and wasn’t being properly cared for. By the time she was rescued, she had a severe worm infestation that nearly cost her life. Thankfully, she was brought to the vet just in time and given the care she needed to pull through. Now, Spirit is healthy, happy, and ready for her second chance. All she needs is a loving home to continue growing, learning, and sharing all the sweetness she has to give Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 26, 2026, 3:07 pm
