Story
Macintosh is a sweet, small-scale companion with a look as unique as his name. He has a beautiful golden-tan coat accented by adorable white "sugar-dusting" on his muzzle and between his soulful, dark eyes. With his wide, fuzzy ears and soft, scruffy fur, he is the picture of puppy cuteness. While he is still quite young, he is expected to stay on the smaller side once he is fully grown, making him a great fit for a variety of living situations. Though he is currently on the quiet and observant side, Macintosh’s playful puppy spirit is just waiting for the right environment to truly bloom. He is at the perfect stage of life to begin learning the ropes of being a beloved companion and would thrive with a family ready to provide gentle guidance. Whether you are looking for a pint-sized adventure partner or a dedicated cuddle buddy, this handsome little guy is ready to grow up and share his life with you.

Story
Benny was found running the streets in a stray dog pack in the Rio Grande Valley. When he first came here, he was fearful around men and could be a bully to new dogs, but he's come a long way since then. Once he gets to know you, he's a sweet, funny, playful dog who wants to be with you as much as possible. Benny was initially cat-aggressive, but he's been around cats for several months and has grown used to them. He mostly ignores them but sometimes chases them. He can be around cats, but should not be left alone with them. (I kennel him when we leave.) Benny gets along well with most female dogs, but he can be dominant towards male dogs. He shows some resource guarding of both food and people and seems to want to "defend" his people from other dogs. That doesn't mean he can't get along with other dogs or other male dogs, but he needs to be introduced to other dogs carefully. The same can be true for introducing him to new people---he needs some time to build trust. Someone who is willing to take time and socialize Benny with other people and animals would be a great adopter. Benny is a great dog who really wants to please. He is loving, affectionate, and playful.
