Story
Otis is a very sweet and social dog. He is fully house-trained and a true “latch dog,” happiest when spending time by your side. Otis can be very reactive with other dogs and small children, so he would do best in an environment without them. While his reactivity makes him a bit intense at times, he is not dangerous at all! We feel like he just feels more secure with space and routine. He also isn’t a good match for homes with cats or any other small animal. With the right setting, Otis will be a devoted and loving companion. He could possibly be trained to be around other dogs over time if thats something you’re willing to take the time to do. He is very sweet and overall gentle and makes an amazing companion. If I don’t answer your phone calls, please don’t hesitate to leave a voicemail and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you!

My dad has a (newly diagnosed) Heart Condition. My Mom now has to take care of him. They can no longer take care of this dog. I live in Texas & can’t take him or care for him. We would love to have a family with a large yard, other pets & even kids or grandkids to share with him.

Story
Rosie. She is a Border Collie who is incredibly sweet, loving, and affectionate. This is a very difficult decision, but my health has worsened and I am no longer able to give her the care, attention, mental stimulation and exercise she needs. Border Collies are very active, and I can no longer meet her needs consistently. Rosie is potty trained, fully vaccinated, and spayed. She is very sweet, loving, and affectionate, and enjoys people. She does have anxiety and separation anxiety, is easily frightened, and is still afraid of walking on concrete and sidewalks despite training efforts. She would do best in a patient, understanding home that can give her plenty of attention, daily exercise, and ideally a fenced yard where she can run safely. It breaks my heart to make this decision, but I believe it is best for both of us. My hope is that Rosie finds a loving home where she can be happy and cared for.

Story
Dallas is a really sweet and smart dog, I’ve had him since he was 6 weeks old and he loves car rides and is a big lap dog. I would really like to find him a good home where he can run around in a big yard. He can jump super high so he will need a privacy fence and is up to date on all his shots. Just really need to find him a good home and will need some time to adjust to his new home but he always meets me at the front door an he is so excited to see me. He will also need to put on a schedule so that way he will not have any accidents but other than that he is a really good dog. Always good to my son who is 3 and another dog who is a girl but I wouldn’t put him with another male or with cats
