Story
Toast, who is male Basenji mix, has been patiently waiting for his forever family while so many other dogs have come and gone. Every day he wakes up hopeful that today might be the day someone chooses him. Unfortunately, that day hasn’t come yet. The truth is, Toast is an incredible dog. Toast is approx two years old, fully vetted, which means he has been neutered, vaccinated, heartworm tested, microchipped, and is current on all preventatives. He weighs about 45 pounds. Extremely well mannered and knows several commands. He is also housebroken and crate trained, making him ready to transition into a loving home. Toast gets along well with other dogs and children, but because of his enthusiasm and energy, he would do best in a home where family members are steady and firm on their feet. He is an active young dog who needs daily walks, exercise, and a securely fenced yard where he can run and play. And when we say run, we mean RUN! 🏃‍♂️💨 Toast is quite literally one of the fastest dogs we have ever seen. Watching him stretch his legs across the yard is truly something to behold. He absolutely loves car rides, adventures, and spending time with his foster brothers and sisters. Because he enjoys canine companionship so much, a home with another friendly dog would be ideal for him. Despite all of these wonderful qualities, Toast continues to wait. He doesn’t know that his adoption fee has been lowered. He doesn’t know that we’re sharing his story again in hopes that the right person or family will see it. He only knows that every day he has so much love to give and no family of his own to give it to. Please help us change that. Share this post, tag your friends, and help us find the family that has been missing out on this amazing boy. We know they’re out there somewhere. ❤️ Toast deserves a home, a family, and a lifetime of love. If you would like to meet Toast or learn more about adopting him, please send us a text at Sunshine Acres Animal Sanctuary, Inc. directly to 469-952-1192.

Story
Hi! I`m Pumpkin Paws, the most playful pup at the shelter! My journey here? Well, I accidentally chased a squirrel into a birthday party, knocked over the cake, and ended up covered in frosting. Oops! Now, I`m looking for a new family who loves fun as much as I do. I`m smart, energetic, and oh, so goofy! Need a laugh? I`m your dog. Let`s make every day a party!

Story
Sebastian is a handsome 78-pound, 3-year-old neutered male mixed breed (Border Collie/Basenji). He has that adorable one-ear-up, one-ear down look going for him. He arrived at the shelter on 10/30 after being picked up as a stray. His owner opted not to reclaim. This big guy has a goofy, fun-loving personality and is friendly, playful, sociable, excitable and full of enthusiasm! Sebastian is a strong puller and could benefit from some leash work. He also doesn’t quite realize just how big he is and tends to jump up on people when excited, so continued manners training will be important. Because of his size and exuberance, an adult-only home would likely be the best fit. He is very curious and enjoyed looking out the gate in the yard into the parking lot, interested in all the comings and goings of folks! The good news is that Sebastian was dog-tested and showed himself to be very friendly with another dog. He may especially enjoy having a canine companion to help keep him entertained, active, and happy. With some guidance, consistency, and plenty of playtime, this lovable goofball has all the makings of a wonderful companion!

Story
This vivacious pup is Davina. She is approximately one year old and weighs 36 pounds. My Dog Scanner identifies her as a mixed breed with Basenji in the mix. She came to the shelter as a stray on 7/13. Her bright eyes and standup ears make her a real “looker.” There is not one shred of fearfulness or timidity with this youngster. She has a confident and outgoing personality. She is quite playful and enjoys playing with toys and balls. Davina knows the sit command and will do so for treats which she takes quite nicely, thank you! She has a real zest for living and would like more than anything to find her for home. She is friendly and OK with being with being loved on. She hopes to find a loving home with a secured yard to play in, and then come back inside to be close and cuddly with her human companions.
