Story
We got Norman as a 6 month old puppy from a friend. He has transitioned with us going from a married couple to a married couple with kids. Norman has always been a very high energy and high anxiety dog, even as a puppy. We thought he would be a great family dog until he, on multiple occasions, started snapping at our son. He has never broken skin but he has left marks. He has also been banned from the couch because he growls at the baby when she tries to get up. We're not sure when things changed but we are not currently able to cater to what he needs.Norman is a farm dog through and through. He absolutely loves running in an open field, chasing a vehicle and a vacuum and diving face and or butt first under a pile of blankets.Norman is the best boy that needs a family that moves slow in the house, but fast outside. Loves kids that arent his own and will get along with certain dogs. He LOVES the car as much as he hates water and getting his nails clipped.

Story
Hi, I’m George (Georgie)!🐶✨ Professional tail-wagger. Full-time good boy. Part-time toddler wrangler. I currently live with my human foster brother, who I’ve decided is my responsibility. I help him by sitting next to him, supervising snacks, and protecting the house from extremely suspicious activity—like cars driving by. Someone has to watch them. They cannot be trusted. I LOVE meeting people. New person? Amazing. Best day ever. I will bring my full enthusiasm package: wagging tail, wiggly body, and my signature move—“I’m so excited I forgot how legs work.” I also get along great with my dog siblings. I believe everyone is my friend, and if they aren’t yet, I will simply try harder. My hobbies include: 🥎 Playing fetch like it’s the Olympics 🪟 Sitting at the window like a neighborhood security guard 👨‍👩‍👦 Being wherever my humans are 😘Accepting compliments (I deserve them I will admit, loud noises make me a little nervous. I prefer calm environments where I can focus on my important duties, like loving you and being adorable. What I’m looking for in a home: someone to throw the ball, share the couch, and appreciate my window-watching skills. In return, I promise loyalty, laughs, and world-class snuggles. Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Hi, I’m Mr. Lavender.🪻 Yes, like the flower. Soft, gentle, and emotionally complex. I’m what you’d call a very sensitive soul. I feel things deeply. For example, if I ever get scolded—even just a tiny “no, Lavender”—I will slowly and quietly walk to my crate to process the heartbreak. I’ll curl up, sigh dramatically, and reflect on how I have disappointed everyone I love. It’s a whole moment. But the good news is, I’m very forgiving. All it takes is a soft voice and gentle pets, and suddenly I remember that life is beautiful again. And speaking of pets… once you start petting me, you cannot stop. I will gently place myself closer. And closer. And closer. If you stop, I will politely remind you with my eyes. If that doesn’t work, I will lean my entire body into you like a weighted blanket with feelings. Physical affection is my love language, my hobby, my life. Cuddling is one of my greatest talents. I don’t just cuddle—I commit to cuddling. I will curl into you, rest my head on you, and stay there like it’s my full-time job. Personal space? Never heard of it. If you move, I move. If you sit, I sit. If you exist, I’m next to you. I also love people-watching. Give me a window, and I will sit there peacefully, observing the neighborhood like a quiet little philosopher. I don’t bark or judge—I just observe and think my gentle thoughts. Loud noises, however, are not my favorite. I prefer calm homes, soft voices, and peaceful environments where I can relax and feel safe. I’m not into chaos. I’m into comfort, love, and cozy vibes. I’m wonderful with kids and other dogs. I’m gentle, patient, and kind. I don’t want any trouble—I just want friends and a place where I belong. I have a very sweet heart, and once I trust you, I will love you with everything I have. I’m not the loudest or boldest dog. I’m the soft one. The gentle one. The one who will quietly sit beside you and make everything feel calm and warm. If you’re looking for a loyal best friend, a professional cuddler, and a sweet soul who just wants to love and be loved… I’m the one.

Story
I'm gonna make you an wo-offer you can't refuse. That's Pacino's favorite phrase. The adoption deal is simple: a roof over his head, a cold dish of water, daily meals and treats, plus an abundance of love. What? It's a good deal! Pacino, now over a year old, has become a true Dogfather. He is well-behaved, happy-go lucky, is very handsome, and has a wonderful, playful nature; he fits seamlessly into any family. His lineage boasts a long line of Dog-Father's, tough dogs out in the world whose business is their own. But, they are loyal, loving and strong characters to have around you.. He's a potty-trained and crate-trained gentleman, but he still has a penchant for chewing. He adores treats and toys, but can go through them quickly. Proper and slow introductions to other dogs are essential. Pacino would thrive best with older kids. Join the legacy and give Pacino the family he deserves. After all, a dog like him is an offer you can't refuse. 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)

Story
Coal is a 4-year-old Pit Bull with the energy of burning charcoal, always fired up for play and adventure. He`s an avid frisbee enthusiast and carries his favorite red disc with him everywhere he goes. He loves going on long walks and playing fetch at the park, or getting a drink at the water fountain. When he`s not chasing frisbees or going for walks, Coal loves to relax in the sun. He`ll often be found sunbathing in the yard, soaking up the rays.While Coal loves to play and run, he also knows how to relax. He`s a gentle giant who loves to snuggle on the couch. He makes for a great heater when these fall days start to get chilly! He`s been great with other dogs, including the resident senior male pit mix and a young female basset hound. He`s especially fond of playing tug-of-war and chase with his foster sister.This handsome boy is eager to please and has mastered a variety of commands and tricks, including sit, down, heel, off, paw, place, settle, and speak, especially when there`s peanut butter involved. He`s also crate trained and enjoys his nightly wind-downs in his cozy crate.Coal is a people-pleaser, but his enthusiasm can sometimes get the best of him. We think he`d do best with older kids who can handle his playful energy. He`s looking for an active family who can provide him with plenty of exercise and love.Interested in adopting this dog?

Story
You will certainly not rue the day you make Rue part of your family! This friendly girl loves attention from her human, but she will also happily chill on her own. Rue loves her crate and does well when left alone, but she also enjoys any soft surface: dog bed, human bed, or couch. In fact, you may have to remind Rue that the throw pillows don’t belong to her, or she will carry them around the house with her!Thought to be about 5 yrs old, Rue is fully house trained, and though she arrived without much knowledge of basic commands, she is a quick learner and already knows “sit” and is in the process of mastering “shake.” Rue enjoys time outside in the yard on warmer days, but she does sometimes pull when on a walk, so this big girl will need someone to help her work on her leash manners. Rue also shows interest in other dogs of all sizes, so she might do well with a canine sibling. However, we are unsure of her feelings about cats or children since her foster home contains neither. Rue’s foster describes her as a “big oaf” who never barks or guards and just wants to enjoy a chew toy and a belly rub. Interested in adopting this dog?
