Story
Tessie is a 5 year old petite 45lb brindle mix looking for a forever home. She was adopted out as a puppy and lived with cats, kids and other dogs in the past. She can be selective about her dog friends so would need a meet and two week trial run to ensure compatibility - she tends to do better with male doggos / ones that don't get into her business, but she's a wonderful listener so that helps as well. She will take a little bit of time to adjust, but with the right patient owner she will be a great addition. She is a perfect leash walker and loves car rides! Tessie's adoption fee is $250 and she's fully vetted / ready to meet people any time. If interested in meeting this gorgeous girl, please apply at www.foreverhomedogs.org and we will reach out!All adoptions are $300 per dog for puppies under 1 year, $250 for adults 1 - 9 years old and $150 for senior dogs which include spay/neuter, micro-chipped and up-to-date on required shots. Senior dogs, at our discretion, are adopted out at $150 per dog because we know they will have less time with your family and may eventually have more needs as they get older. But we feel these dogs deserve to live out the rest of their lives as part of a loving family.

Story
Meet Kage, the ultimate good boy who's just so darn cute! This gentleman is a pro at house living, fully potty trained, and a master at walking on a leash and harness. He's a social butterfly, getting along famously with other dogs and loving those backyard playdates with his pals. Kage is a stunning mix of Lab and Border Collie, the perfect blend of intelligence and family-friendliness. He's just the right size, like a mini Lab or a slightly larger Border Collie. When you find two fantastic things that go together like peanut butter and jelly, you celebrate! Kage is that winning combo, and now you can celebrate by making him a cherished member of your family. His temperament is pure gold - sweet as honey with everyone he meets. Now, here's the scoop: Kage is a special needs pup, and he's looking for someone who can be with him about 90 percent of the time. Storms, rain, and loud noises send him into severe panic attacks, and he's been known to chew through walls when anxiety strikes. Crates aren't his jam because of past storm-related trauma. He's also dealing with seizures, so he's on medication for that. Kage would thrive in a local adoption, and he's best as a single dog with no cats or small animals around. He's a wonderful companion for older kids, and he loves nothing more than cuddles and long walks. He's got the whole house training thing down too. His foster mom adores him and has prepared him for his forever family as best she can. Now, the ball is in your court. Remember, when you adopt Kage, you're not just bringing home a good boy; you're giving him the loving, understanding home he deserves. Don't shop, adopt, because Kage's life depends on it! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area - $50 Temporary Fuel Charge will be added)

The Pearl of the ocean is who I am. And who doesn't want the most incredible gift from the ocean on their very own couch??? :) I am Pearl and my pearlescent coat shines bright...but I wasn't always this beautiful and wasn't cherished as I am now. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder... and the rescue people saw beauty when they saw me... I had 8 beautiful babies and was at the pound waiting to get out,

My name is Atlas, and I'm searching for the best life a good by like me can have. As a border collie mix, intelligence comes naturally to me. I might be a little reserved at first, but give me a little time, and I'll be your devoted companion. I've had a stroke of luck in my life; after being taken to a lovely animal shelter at 8 weeks old, I survived a flood there. Rescued once more, I'm eager to find a forever home where I can be cherished and have my curiosity nurtured. Could you be my perfect match? ##2044104##

I'm Melissa, on a quest for the finest life a good girl like me deserves. Being a border collie mix, smarts are part of my nature. I may seem a bit shy initially, but with a bit of time, I'll become your loyal friend. Fortune has smiled on me; I was brought to a wonderful animal shelter at 8 weeks old and even survived a flood there. Now rescued again, I'm ready to find a permanent home where I can be loved and my inquisitive spirit fostered. Are you the one I'm searching for? ##2044101##

Story
Storm is being returned through no fault of her own. Storm is 2.5 years old, about 60/70 lbs. Storm is great with kids and leaves cats alone. She’s never been in a kennel, but the owner is working on kennel training now. She is house trained. Storm was sleeping in bed with adopter until she had a baby. Storm lives with another very submissive dog and does fine with him but the adopter mentioned that she would not do well with another dominant dog. She’s more of a people dog than dog’s dog. Storm is a barker, but mostly outdoors.
