Meet Kirby, a striking 10-month-old Basenji mix whose handsome brindle and white coat, soulful brown eyes, and happy personality are sure to steal your heart. This sweet boy is full of life and ready to find a forever family to share a lifetime of adventures.Kirby wakes up every day excited to see what fun is in store. Whether he is chasing toys, zooming around the yard with his canine buddies, or discovering something new on a walk, his playful spirit and goofy antics are guaranteed to make you smile. He has a way of turning even ordinary moments into something entertaining.At 45 pounds, Kirby is a wonderful medium size with just a little growing left to do but will remain a medium sized dog which ranges from 30 to 60 pounds. He loves playing with other dogs and enjoys the company of children, making him a great fit for an active family. He has not yet had the opportunity to meet cats since coming into rescue, so his compatibility with feline friends is currently unknown.Like any young dog, Kirby is still learning all the skills he needs to become the very best companion. He is working on crate training, house training, and walking politely on a leash. He is a smart, eager pup who responds well to positive guidance and will continue to thrive with patience, consistency, and plenty of praise. Investing time in his training now will create an incredible lifelong companion.Kirby would love a family that enjoys getting outside and including their dog in everyday activities. Whether it is a hike through the woods, a game of fetch in the backyard, a neighborhood stroll, or simply relaxing together after a day of fun, Kirby will be happiest right by your side.With his affectionate nature, playful energy, and loving heart, Kirby is ready to bring endless laughter, companionship, and unconditional love into the lucky home that chooses him. All he needs is someone willing to give him a chance.Kirby could just be the missing piece your family has been searching for. Apply today and let this wonderful boy show you just how special he is.* When considering adoption, keep in mind that dogs thrive on structure and routine. They adjust much better when their owners are committed to providing consistency and stability.The adoption fee for Kirby is $500. That includes the cost of spaying/neutering, up to date vaccinations, foster care, rescue and transportation fees.

Who names puppies Chicken, Banana and Raisin?? Hungry rescuers, thats who!!!! Now , 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 🌧.... so yep, we r 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 r grown and finding their own homes... its my turn now! I am a good girl, great size of 30# and a heart full of love and adventure! Adopt me soon!!

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
This super loving, fun, gorgeous, unique boy is Togo!! He’s a wonderfully happy, good pup and from the moment he came into the pound, everyone knew he was so so special! He made fast friends with every person and animal he met, and everyone knew he has unlimited potential to be the best dog ever! Thankfully a wonderful volunteer agreed to take him home to foster until he finds his dream home! Togo is just 8 months old, and his weight full grown is estimated to be a perfectly petite 40 lbs. He’s been to the vets, and he does absolutely wonderful there. He’s now had all of his vaccines and deworming completed! He has heartworm tested negative and he is current on preventative. He has also been microchipped and neutered! He’s a healthy, happy baby and he can’t wait to find love! In his foster home Togo has shown what a truly incredible dog he is with everyone. He makes friends with every single dog he meets. He’s always happy with a wagging tail, looking to play and socialize with any pup regardless of size, age, breed, etc. He is living with a cat and he does great with her too! He may on occasion try to puppy play with her, and is just so loving with all animals. When this guy meets new people of all ages, he’s looking to give kisses, maybe play some catch, and snuggle! He’s a lover of toys, fetching balls and sticks, hiking, car rides, and cuddle sessions on movie nights. He’s been very good on leash and he’s doing great at reliably going potty outside! Togo is definitely a handsome boy, but his greatest asset is truly is loving, outgoing, social butterfly temperament. He’s great with everyone and is just looking to find a warm loving home to build a beautiful future with. If you have fallen for this gorgeous, sweet baby’s blue eyes, incredible ears, and heart of gold, please visit www.greatdivideanimalrescue.org/applicationdogs and submit an application for adoption today!! **NOTE** to ensure prompt response- please go directly to our website (www.greatdivideanimalrescue.org) to apply, or email (inquiries.rescuematch@aol.com) directly with any questions to ensure your inquiry/application is received by our organization.
