Story
Meet Zoe Zoe is a beautiful 4-month-old Aussie/Border Collie. She's as gorgeous on the inside as she is on the outside. Zoe has a sweet personality that's a blend of confidence and shyness. Loud or unfamiliar noises can make her a little unsure, and she sometimes seeks out cozy hiding spots like a clothes basket or underneath a chair on the porch until she feels comfortable. But when she's out in the yard playing with other dogs, you'll see her confident, playful side shine. This affectionate little girl loves to cuddle and be close to her people. She just needs a patient family willing to give her the time and encouragement to build confidence on her own as she grows beyond her dependence on her siblings. Once she feels safe, her loving personality really begins to blossom. Zoe is very treat motivated, making training fun and rewarding. She does well in her crate, and is making great progress with potty training, although she still has the occasional accident—as expected for a puppy her age. She's not much of a barker and will need continued leash training as she learns about the world. With a little patience and a lot of love, Zoe is going to grow into a gorgeous, devoted companion who will reward her family with endless affection and loyalty. She's ready to find the forever home where she can truly bloom.

Story
Meet Pip! Pip is a stunning 4-month-old Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix with a soft, fluffy coat and a heart that's every bit as beautiful as her looks. This sweet girl has a gentle personality that's a wonderful mix of playful curiosity and quiet sensitivity. New or unexpected noises can make her a little cautious, and she may retreat to a favorite safe spot—like a laundry basket or under a porch chair—until she feels comfortable again. Once she's relaxed, though, her fun-loving side comes to life as she happily romps around the yard with other dogs. Pip is incredibly affectionate and loves spending time with her people. She enjoys snuggling close and soaking up attention, but she'll thrive with a family that understands she may need a little extra time and reassurance as she learns to navigate the world on her own. As her confidence grows, so does her sweet, loving personality. Smart and eager to please, Pip is highly motivated by treats, making her a great candidate for continued training. She settles nicely in her crate and is doing very well with potty and house training.  She's generally quiet, isn't much of a barker, and is just beginning to learn good leash manners. Pip is looking for a patient, loving family that will help her continue building confidence while celebrating all the wonderful qualities she already has. In return, she'll become a loyal, devoted companion who will fill your home with love, laughter, and plenty of puppy cuddles. If you're looking for a best friend to grow up alongside your family, Pip may be the perfect match.

Story
My old family gave up on me and could no longer take care of me. I like to sit in the back of my kennel and then the second I see you come running up to the gate. I love to be given treats, I will eat almost anything you hand me. I am a quick learner and have learned some of my basic commands. I like to get my nails trimmed and love baths. I have this cute look about me when I hear a sound I tilt my head to the side. I love to give kisses to kids and have met a couple of dog friends. I am so looking forward to being apart of your family. ##1785803##

Story
Coal was a little lost puppy who was hit by a car and left for dead. Thankfully, a Good Samaritan found him, got him help, and brought him to Flying B. For the first time, Coal is learning what safety, kindness, and love feel like. It’s obvious he had a rough start. He’s still a little unsure of people and tends to hang back and watch. But Coal is incredibly observant. He watches the other pups getting attention, cuddling with people, and having fun—and he’s slowly figuring out that maybe humans aren’t so scary after all. And lately, we’re starting to see glimpses of the puppy he was meant to be. His playful, joyful side is peeking out more and more, especially when he thinks no one is watching. Coal doesn’t need someone to “fix” him. He just needs someone willing to show him, patiently and consistently, that life can be good. We can’t wait to watch this little guy learn how to be a puppy. Ready for a meet and greet? Kick off the process with an application at www.flyingbrescue.org/adopt. Our application is thorough but there are no right or wrong answers - we just want to make sure you and the pet are the perfect match. Once we receive your application, we will schedule a phone interview. Our adoptions include a 2-week trial period with fully refundable adoption fees during that period. If you are located outside of Texas, we offer transportation services and have happy families as references. We value transparency, so don’t be afraid to ask us anything.
