Story
Now, before we go any further into my story.... let me warn you...it contains heartache and then some puppies, and fear and even some hopelessness. We do go to the top of the mountain as well, so hold in for the wild ride of my life:) maybe you will get to be my happily ever after.... So I was born a poor border collie mixed pup, in the miserable heat, in a disgusting backyard. To a mama that could have been so beautiful, if she had been brushed and cared for.... Fast forward thru almost 4 YEARS of misery and puppies, we were saved!!! I was saved with 9 newborn puppies and my sister/daughter/ cousin, etccc Princess and HER 9 PUPPIES TOO! We landed safe and sound at the rescue! We are now gorgeous girls and all pups grown and adopted! Now its time for me!! I am a single gal, and really don't like other dogs in my business. I want to be the Queen of the house :D Adopt me and I will fill YOUR home with my love and devotion.

Story
Meet Wiley! Wiley is an approximately 1.5 year old Border Collie/Australian Shepherd mix (best guess) with a happy personality and a very smart mind. He is an active boy who is always ready for his next adventure and would thrive with a family that understands the needs of intelligent working breeds. Wiley is high energy and will need a breed knowledgeable owner committed to continuing his training and providing both mental and physical stimulation. He is eager to learn and already does pretty well on a leash. With consistency and structure, Wiley has the potential to become an incredible companion. He would do best with an active family that enjoys walks, outdoor activities, training, and keeping their dogs engaged. Wiley is the kind of dog who wants to be involved in life right alongside his people. Wiley is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines and preventions. Local adoption fee is $300 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Ruby is a bright, sparkling gem ready to be adopted! She is a unique black labrador/border collie mix, with high energy and a goofball personality, with a white stripe down her snout! She has a heart of gold with whipped cream on top :) Ruby was found with her friend Lucy, they were both left out in the country, luckily by a rescuer's home. She fed and worked with them for a couple of weeks before they were able to get into the rescue and the rest is a BIG FUTURE!! Ruby LOVES to play tug of war with her friends all the time and I really would be best with another calm and confident dog to help keep her busy and tired. She is best in an outgoing, outdoor loving family, maybe YOURS??? Ruby is waiting........ :D Local adoption fee is $300(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Oreo Cookies are da BEST cookies ever! And i are one of them :D So you now know all about me ;) Except the creamy center, which may explain why i am in a rescue looking for a furever home.. It isn't my fault ;( I mean, picture this..... there i was, minding my own business... and my mom and dad sit me down to tell me that they are getting a divorce :( And my mom, brother and I will be homeless soon :( :( what do you do??? I was lucky enough to find a rescue that was able to help me be safe and loved. (my mom and brother found a safe place too) Oreo is a sweet senior whose tail never stops wagging. Unfortunately, Oreo doesn't see well so until she's familiar with a space she bumps into things but never gives up. She likes being outside & exploring a new place & will follow a voice around an open space. Oreo is a very gentle, calm girl who'll be a perfect addition to any home. She's house, crate & leash trained. She loves people & car rides. If you're that person who needs company on a leisurely walk around the block or a snuggly movie buddy Oreo is your girl. Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Hi, I’m Sammy! I’m an energetic, affectionate, incredibly sweet 4-year-old Blue Heeler/Border Collie mix. I’m looking for a new home since I am anxious around children, and mom and dad just had a baby that I’m wary of. They want me to be in a home where I’m comfortable and can thrive. I love playing with other dogs and having a canine companion, but I can be protective of my space at times. I am a fun mix of playful and chill — I love a good game of fetch but am also perfectly content to relax on my own. More than anything, I love attention! Butt scratches and belly rubs are my love language♥️I am not neutered, but I am up to date on vaccines and have no known health issues after a recent trip to the vet. I am potty and crate trained.I am a working/herding dog, so I would love to have a fenced in yard to run around and be more mentally stimulated. I’d be happiest in a home with another playmate I get along with, a fenced in yard to run, and no young children.

Story
Moxie is a 2-year-old Border Collie mix. She is pretty shy, but is a deeply loving girl looking for a patient home. This sweet girl takes time to build trust, but once she does, her bond is lifelong. She is fully potty trained, very smart, and thrives on routine. Moxie needs a very quiet home with no kids and people who understand fearful dogs.Moxie needs to be an only dog. Moxie does fine with dog saavy cats. She walks nicely on leash when she feels safe and enjoys hiking, agility and paddle boarding. She does not like crowds or loud noises and she’ll need a quiet, safe space during fireworks.She is an active dog who needs regular exercise and mental stimulation. She loves toys (especially squeaky ones), is treat-motivated when comfortable, and has shown great potential in training despite minimal experience. Because of her sensitivities, Moxie will require multiple meet and greets with her potential adopters to ensure a successful forever home for her! She has proved she can form a strong bond with her foster parent and would love a home of her own.If you are patient, kind, active and willing to earn her trust, you will gain a best friend that will be yours forever! You can fill out an application on our website to meet Moxie :)

Story
Hi! I'm Ozzie... and I think you're looking for me. I'm about six months old, I'm a Blue Heeler puppy, and I've been told I'm the laid-back one in the family. Don't get me wrong—I still love to play, explore, and have puppy fun, but compared to my brother Morty, I'm a little more of the "let's see how this goes" kind of guy. Think of me as the cool customer. My life didn't start out the way every puppy dreams it will. My brother, two adult female dogs, and I were abandoned at a trailer park. No family. No warm bed. No one making sure we had food or water. The four of us stuck together and did our best to survive while waiting for someone to notice we needed help. Thankfully, someone did. Now that I'm safe, my true personality is shining through. I'm discovering how wonderful people can be, and I have to say...I like this new life a whole lot better! Being a Red Heeler means I come with some pretty awesome features. I'm smart (sometimes a little too smart), I love learning, and I enjoy having things to do. Whether it's figuring out a puzzle toy, learning a new command, going for walks, or hanging out with my people, I'm happiest when I'm included. Heelers are famous for being loyal, and I plan to take that job very seriously. Even though I'm still a puppy, I already know that life's greatest adventures are meant to be shared. I'm looking for someone who'll teach me new things, laugh at my puppy antics, and give me the love I've been missing. In return, I'll be your faithful companion through every walk, road trip, lazy afternoon, and exciting adventure. I may be the calmer brother, but don't mistake that for boring. I still have plenty of puppy energy, a playful streak, and a goofy side that comes out when I'm comfortable. I just happen to believe life is best enjoyed with a little less chaos and a little more tail wagging. I've already survived the hardest part of my story. Now all I need is the best part... A family to call my own. Could that family be yours? I promise I'll spend the rest of my life proving you made the right choice. Local adoption fee is $350 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $650 (includes transport to your area)

Story
We are happy, playful puppies on a mission to have as much fun as possible! Our days are filled with zoomies, wrestling matches with our siblings, and investigating every new sight, sound, and smell we can find. Did someone say toys? We LOVE toys! Squeaky toys, crinkly toys, balls, stuffies—you name it, we're ready to pounce on it. We can turn just about anything into a game and are always looking for our next adventure. Being puppies, we have lots of energy and love to play with each other, but once we've finished our zoomies and worn ourselves out, we're all about cuddles, naps, and soaking up love from our people. Nothing beats curling up for a puppy pile nap after a busy day of fun! If you're looking for a happy, playful best friend who will bring laughter, love, and plenty of puppy antics to your home, one of us might be the perfect match for you!
