Story
Terra is a beautiful and sweet dog. She can be a little loud but she loves hard: we have to re home her due to new jobs and busier schedules. She’s young and needs more time and attention and love than we can provide right now unfortunately and want her to have a loving home to move around more. Terra is ~9 months old. She was born in March 2026. She has no issues or problems. She is due for more vaccines soon but has been kept up on them as of now.We were that her mom was a Boxer when we got her. Unsure on if this is correct or not

Story
Joy, 1 1/2 years old and 50 lbs. She is ready for her happily ever after. At just a year and a half old, this incredibly brave mama found herself in a noisy, hot Louisiana shelter where she safely delivered and raised seven beautiful puppies. She gave everything she had to her babies, but now that they are grown and heading off to their own forever families, it is finally Joy’s time to shine. Joy has fully embraced the "couch potato" lifestyle. She is a world-class cuddler who loves nothing more than claiming a spot on the sofa or soaking up some quiet time out in the yard.  For her forever home, Joy is looking for a family that has another friendly dog she can play and share a dog bed with. While she hasn't been officially tested with cats, she has such an easygoing temperament that we are confident she would do just fine with them. PLEASE WATCH HER VIDEO! We had a very special song written just for Joy that beautifully tells the story of her journey. You have to hear it and see this wonderful girl in action! She is house-trained, good with other dogs, rides well in the car, and has no food or toy issues.  She is spayed, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and current on preventatives. Adoption Criteria:- Fencedin backyard required- Adult who is home more during the day- Children 7+ (younger casebycase) Adoption Fee: $300   ##2891126##

Story
Meet Bidzil!He loves people of all ages! He’s very wiggly and maybe not the smartest kid in class…He would thrive on a great school routine and some extra cuddles!! He loves to play!! He came out of neglect. He was super skinny on arrival -- weighing in at only 33 lbs! Now he is up to a healthy 50 lbs. He also came in with vertebrae on his tail exposed. With daily tail wrap changes, antibiotics, pain meds given, and a nutritious diet, he is fully healthy now.He greets dogs well, but is over it after a minute. He would do best with another calm dog to co-exist with or as solo dog. No cats or small animals, please.Bidzil recently went on a Dog Day Out with a couple of our volunteers. Here`s what they had to say, `He started out a tad on the aloof and cautious side, but he quickly warmed up. After that, he was a super chill, laid-back, gentle, and easy-going boy with a quiet smile. He showed no reaction to any of the people or dogs we passed and was perfectly happy strolling right beside us. He never pulled on the leash and happily sat for treats (and he LOVES his treats!). He even posed in front of some flowers for photos like a natural! It`s so easy to fall in love with this incredibly sweet boy!`Male5 years oldBoxer mix?50.5 lbs ---------------------------------------------------Interested in adopting? The BEST way to adopt is to come meet the pet in person at the shelter and fill out an application while you’re here. No appointment needed!Please note: in-person adopters who have already met the animal get first priority, and sometimes pets are adopted before we’re able to contact online applicants.Hours: 11am-4pm every day!

Poppy is 7 months old! We need a new home for her because we unfortunately don’t have enough time in our day to spend with her like she needs.

She’ll thrive in a home that can provide plenty of mental and physical stimulation, along with the love and attention she adores.
