Story
Meet Titus — the sweetest little shadow you could ask for! This boy is the definition of a velcro puppy. Wherever you are, that’s exactly where Titus wants to be. Doing chores? He’s your helper. Watching TV on the couch? He’s curled up beside you showering you with kisses. Bathroom trip? Yep… he’ll probably volunteer as your emotional support puppy there too. Titus is a happy, high-energy boy that loves zoomies and gets so excited he’ll bounce around on his back legs like a tiny kangaroo. He’s playful, goofy, and full of personality. Crinkly toys are a favorite, and chewing on his Benebone is serious business. He’s great with other dogs and kids and would love a family ready for adventures, playtime, and lots of cuddles. Titus is currently working on potty training and does really well as long as his people go outside with him — he just likes having his buddy nearby. If you’re looking for a loyal best friend that will love you with his whole heart, Titus is your boy. Local adoption fee is $250(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Dear Future Family,My name is Monroe!! If you’re looking for a gentle, loyal best friend, I just might be your guy. I’m an 80-pound sweetheart from Alabama with a soft heart and an even softer spot for snuggles.My favorite things in life are pretty simple: curling up on the couch with my humans, snuggling in bed, belly scratches in the morning, car rides, ground chicken (seriously… the way to my heart), and hearing that I’m a “good boy.” I love other dogs, and more than anything, I love simply being with my people. Wherever you go, I’ll happily follow — my foster mom says I’m her shadow.I’m a calm, low-key kind of guy. I’m not looking to run marathons — I’d much rather spend the day snoozing nearby while you work, relaxing on the couch, or keeping you company around the house. When my humans come home from work, it’s truly the best part of my day!!I’m fully house-trained and very well-behaved in the home. At night, I sleep nicely in my crate with no issues as long as I can see my humans nearby. But if you let me, I’d be very happy snuggling up in bed with you instead — that’s kind of my dream!One thing I’ve learned about myself is that I actually do much better left out when you’re away instead of being crated. Give me a comfy couch, turn on some cartoons, and I’ll happily nap the day away until you come home.I can be shy and fearful with strangers, especially men, and I do best with slow introductions and patient people who understand that trust takes time for me. Right now, I’m learning that not all strangers are scary, that my humans always come back, and that men can be safe too. Once I feel secure, though, my sweet personality shines through beautifully.At the end of the day, I’m really just a loving boy who wants to feel safe, spend time with his people, and stay close to the ones he loves. I’m easy to please — all I really want is kindness, patience, a cozy place to nap, and someone to love.If you’re willing to go slow with me at first, I promise I’ll give you the most loyal heart in return.Love,MonroeMonroe is Heartworm positive and is waiting for a negative test result which can take 2-9 months after treatment. His treatment has been completed and he will need a Heartworm test every 2 months to follow up on his treatment progress until he has a negative result. During these months, you will need to make sure his heart rate is not elevated due to high energy play or exercise. Monroe will also need continued use of monthly Heartworm prevention going forward. These medical needs will be the responsibility of the adopter. --------------------------------------------All our Warrior Dogs will have all age appropriate medical care and vaccines, a microchip, and spayed/neutered if the dog is over 6 months of age at the time of adoption. Please note that the majority of our dogs in rescue are from shelters where they have been found as strays or abandoned. Their breed description is based on our very best educated guess based on physical characteristics and their dispositions. If they came to our rescue as an owner surrender, the breed description will be listed as provided by the previous owner.Adoption Fee - $400To apply for this pup, please submit an Adoption Application at http://warriordogrescue.com/adopt/adoption-application/

Story
Meet your future tiny chaos fox  (with a heart of gold): This is a Shiba Inu who did NOT read the Shiba manual. Seriously—someone forgot to tell him he’s supposed to be aloof, mysterious, and mildly judgmental. Instead, this guy is basically a velcro marshmallow who is constantly checking in like, “Hi… hello… yes… is this a good time for pets??” He is: Fully house trained (a gentleman). Needed an acclimation period to prevent marking but has full trust in social areas now. An absolute DREAM on a leash (no zig-zag nonsense) A chill co-pilot in the car (windows down = vibes up). Just don’t let him know your lap is an alternate option for the ride! A certified athlete with Olympic-level zoomies This boy has energy for days. We’re talking runs, rollerblading, adventures—he’s ready to be your personal fitness coach whether you asked for one or not. He’s got a few scratches and cuts from his short life on the street, but he seems to be healing up quickly. Socially? Crushed it. He gets along great with our other dogs and knows how to hang. Now let’s address the most important personality trait: He LOVES food. No, that’s not strong enough. He REALLY REALLY LOVES FOOD. If food were a religion, he’d be the high priest. And if he feels under-petted, under-loved, or under-snacked? Oh, he will let you know—with his very own dramatic, soulful, slightly chaotic howling serenade. Think: part wolf, part opera singer, part “excuse me I have concerns.” In summary: Sweet? Yes.  Goofy? Extremely.  Loyal? Absolutely.  Quiet? …let’s circle back to that.  If you’re looking for a hilarious, affectionate, high-energy companion who will love you deeply and remind you loudly when you forget to pet him—this is your guy. Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Dental, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue. Adoption fee:  $425.00  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 28, 2026, 10:06 am

Story
Hi, it’s me—the world’s biggest fan of squeaky toys, cuddles, and ignoring the concept of personal space. If you sit down, just know I’ll be sitting on top of you within seconds, preferably with a toy in my mouth that I’ll squeak right into your ear while declaring my love. I currently share my life with two other dogs, and together we’ve formed a professional-level tug-of-war team, but I’m also down for a good game of chase outside. Speaking of outside, it’s my happy place—I’ll strut on a leash like I own the block or hang out on a tie-out. I’m also a kennel pro. I’ll snooze in there no problem, but between us, I’d rather snuggle in bed with you because cuddles > everything. At mealtimes, I like to think of myself as a food enthusiast—okay fine, a food hog—but my foster mom promises me I’ll never have to compete again, so I’m practicing my manners. Full honesty moment: I’m still working on my potty training, so I’ll need a patient human who can help me learn a good routine.  I’m a smart pup and eager to please—I just need a little guidance (and maybe a few treats along the way).    My mom puts these stylish belly bands on when I am inside.  Also, I take my neighborhood watch duties very seriously—I like to bark at, well… everything outside. Squirrels, people, leaves… you name it. With some training and reassurance, I can learn when it’s time to sound the alarm and when it’s time to relax.  I wear an extra collar sometimes to help me with this, and it makes a silly beeping noise when I bark too much.  Because I’m such an enthusiastic, wiggly guy who loves his toys (and sometimes forgets his size and manners), I’d do best in a home with older kids who can handle my energy and help me keep learning good habits.   I enjoy staring dramatically out the window, plotting how to catch squirrels and rabbits (spoiler: they’re winning). I’ve got some energy after being in my kennel for a while, but once I wear myself out, I turn into a certified cuddle bug. So—what do you say? Want to adopt a toy-obsessed, cuddle-demanding, slightly chatty, squirrel-watching sidekick who will keep life fun, funny, and full of squeaks?           Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, dental, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue.
