Story
Could could help us to fly and find a home for Chino? He has been with our rescuer in PR since February 4, 2026. He had been hit by a car and had to be nursed back to health.  He is now neutered , has 3 DHlpp, rabies, and Bordatella vaccines.  He is 4dx negative. 25.6 pounds. 6-8 months.  Our rescuer has spent a lot of time, money, and effort to help Chino recover fully.  She would like to see him go to a good home.  If you are looking for a sweet dog in need of a home, please inquire about Chino.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.

Story
These sweet boys have quite the story—but they’re ready to leave the past behind and start their next chapter. They were found wandering a neighborhood, hungry and just trying to survive. Now safe and cared for, they’re learning that meals will always be there—no more rushing or going without. Despite everything, their gentle, loving personalities shine through. They absolutely adore attention and will happily follow you around, soaking up every bit of affection they can get. Watching them discover toys for the first time is pure joy—especially when they pounce on a crinkly one like it’s the best thing ever! These boys are full of love, curiosity, and resilience. Now all they need is a forever family to show them just how good life can be. Local adoption fee is $250(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Hi, my name is Thor, and I am a Basenji mix looking for my forever home! I am a sweet and energetic guy, and kennel staff say that they love my playful personality. I am a little picky about my canine companions (but when I love them, I love them), so a meet and greet with any dogs in the household would be a must! If you would like to meet me, stop by the shelter today!

Story
Pez is a canine athlete with boundless energy and super inquisitive mind. Crate and house trained, his favorite two things to do are playing with other dogs and running by your side during your daily walks. And if you can see him jump, you'd be amazed! Easy-going, playful (loves toys), talkative boy, he would be perfect for an active family or person. Come and meet this little red gem of a dog, he can't wait to meet you!
