Story
Adopted Zephyr on 10/23/26 from the Montgomery County animal shelter. He was taken in about a week to two weeks before that. He was found with four of his brothers and sisters, it is unknown if he has had a home prior to being taken in. He is about one years old. The reason for putting several up for adoption is due to the time needed to house train him and also pay attention to him given that he is a puppy. He is a loving dog with a bright personality and with thrive better in an active home!

Story
I am pretty sure my rescuers were HUNGRY when they named us. Cashew is my name and I am as delightful as a sweet n nutty n salty treat. My babies were named after food too! Who names puppies Chicken, Banana and Raisin?? Hungry rescuers! When we were found, we were HUNGRY TOO! We were "living" at a gas station in the 90 to 100 degree temperatures and unbelievable flooding. 🌧 We are SURVIVORS! As mama to this crew I was so very scared for our safety but was also scared of the people helping us... fast forward to today! I love my people and my babies are growing and finding their own homes. It's my turn now! I am a good girl, great size of 30# and a heart full of love and adventure! Adopt me soon!! Local adoption fee is $300 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)
