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.

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
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)

Story
Meet Nala – A Loyal Heart Waiting for Her Person Nala is a beautiful Basenji/Black Mouth Cur mix with an athletic spirit, a contagious smile, and ears that are impossible not to love. At 4–5 years old and 50 pounds, she's the perfect combination of playful energy and devoted companionship. While Nala enjoys playing hard, chasing toys, and exploring outdoors, she also appreciates having a safe place to relax and recharge. She's happiest when she has an active family that will include her in everyday adventures. Because of her past, Nala is cautious when meeting new people and needs a patient adopter who understands that trust takes time. She isn't the kind of dog who instantly loves everyone she meets. Instead, she forms deep, lasting bonds with her people, and once you've earned her trust, you'll have a fiercely loyal best friend for life. Nala gets along well with other dogs when introductions are done properly, but she does have some resource guarding with food and toys around other dogs. She does not resource guard these items with people. She would do best with an experienced owner who can manage mealtimes and high-value items appropriately, or as the only dog where she can soak up all the attention herself. If you're looking for a devoted companion who will reward your patience with unwavering love and loyalty, Nala is ready to begin her next chapter. She's waiting for someone willing to see past her cautious first impression and discover the incredible dog she truly is. Nala is spayed, microchipped, fully vaccinated, and current on heartworm, flea, and tick prevention. She is also potty trained and kennel trained, settling quietly in her crate after a fun-filled day. To see more pictures and videos of Nala, please visit the link below.
