Story
These sweet boys have quite the story—but they’re ready to leave the past behind and start their next chapter. They were found wandering a neighborhood, hungry and just trying to survive. Now safe and cared for, they’re learning that meals will always be there—no more rushing or going without. Despite everything, their gentle, loving personalities shine through. They absolutely adore attention and will happily follow you around, soaking up every bit of affection they can get. Watching them discover toys for the first time is pure joy—especially when they pounce on a crinkly one like it’s the best thing ever! These boys are full of love, curiosity, and resilience. Now all they need is a forever family to show them just how good life can be. Local adoption fee is $250(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
We adopted Jack from our local shelter in late 2025. He is 1.5 years old. Jack is an active, energetic, working dog who needs lots of physical activity and mental stimulation. He would thrive in a household where his owners also live an active lifestyle and can give him the time/attention that he deserves.Jack loves Tug-of-War, chasing lures, and sniffing! He's very affectionate and loves treats. He also loves belly rubs and will literally jump for joy for you!He has successfully completed six weeks of basic obedience training. He knows basic commands: sit, stay, come, place, heel, down, and recall (name). He is crate trained and leash trained. We would recommend continued training to overcome distractions and strengthen his focus. Because of his breed, we do not recommend adopting Jack if you also have cats/other small animals.We really want his next home to be his forever home. Jack is a sweet boy who just needs the right environment to thrive!
