Story
Please contact Tonya Griffith (TMSGriffith@aol.com) for more information about this pet.Posted on 4/7/23, and the pictures were taken on 4/1/23.  Jacoby was picked up by the Smith County, TX Animal Shelter on 8/15/22.  We picked him up on 12/2/22, he was already neutered, estimated to have been born in 2013, and weighed 68 pounds on 4/1/23. Jacoby is a guard dog.  He would be perfect for a single person that he can protect and give lots of love to.  He does not like my husband or teenage son when they try to come to the fenced area that he is in, but if I bring him out of the fenced area on a leash, he will let my husband hold his leash with no problem.  He is great with the other dogs (both genders), good on a leash, loves to be pet, crate trained, and does not dig under or climb fencing.  We don't know if he is house trained. $25 adoption fee, since donations were made for his vet care, and he was already neutered.April 7, 2024, 12:07 am

Story
Please contact Tonya Griffith (TMSGriffith@aol.com) for more information about this pet.Posted on 10/13/23, and the pictures were taken on 10/13/23.  Rory and his family of 3 other dogs were first spotted on our trail camera in June 2023 starving and looking for food.  Rory was the first to get trapped in our live trap.  He is a gentle giant that likes to give bear hugs over my arms when he feels a little frisky, and I have his huge sweet face in my hands praising him.  He is extremely sweet and very sensitive to any hand movement, and lowers his head as if he thinks I'm going to hit him.  He lowers his head a lot, and I've been working on getting him to keep his head up.  He did dig under our fence twice at night until we laid hog panel on the ground, and then he climbed over our 4 foot fence to get to one of the females he was found with while she was in heat after we separated her until she was spayed, but he has stayed inside the fence since his neuter.  He does have a hunting instinct to go after night time wildlife, and has wanted to go after a feral cat we have.  He's not very active, and lays around a lot.  He is good on a leash, and sometimes growls at the other male dogs he is with, but he is good with them.  He should not be with other dominant male dogs though.  We don't know if he is house trained, but he is crate trained.  He does not have a micro-chip, and no owner was found.  He was heartworm positive, is on prevention, and received heartworm treatment on 10/26/23 and 10/27/23.  He was estimated to be 4 years old on 8/8/23 weighing 72 pounds, and he was neutered on 9/22/23 weighing 77 pounds. $70 adoption fee.April 7, 2024, 12:07 am

Story
Please contact Tonya Griffith (TMSGriffith@aol.com) for more information about this pet.Posted on 12/7/23, and the pictures were taken on 11/28/23.  Corey was found in Winona, TX on 11/25/23, at CR 370 (Howell Lake Rd.) and Brooks Lane, with a female Border Collie that lives on 18th Ave. in Tyler, TX.  He was already neutered, but does not have a micro-chip, and no owner has claimed him. Corey loves people, is good with other dogs, and good on a leash.  He stays in our 4 foot fence, and has not tried to dig out or climb out.  His teeth look around 1.5 years old, he has a slight underbite, has a stub tail, and he weighs 42 pounds.  He has tried to come inside our door, so he may be house trained.  We don't know how he is with cats. $25 adoption fee.April 7, 2024, 12:07 am

Story
Custos was born in December of 2019 and a young girl bought him. Later she could not keep him, so in August of 2019 she put him up for free on an East Texas website. A nice acting woman, with two kids got him. All she did was put him in a crate in the backyard with little water and food. She charged to REHOME him. I paid a ridiculous amount to get him out of there. I have had him ever since. He is a loving, happy and healthy dog. I have to put him up for adoption to a home with no other dogs or cats. He is dominating our two other dogs. With people and kids, he is good. I am getting older and cannot handle him on a leash. He does sit and lay on command, sometime. He is smart.

Story
Malek is a very distinguished and substantial looking young man, and sweet as a teddy bear. He has not been in rescue for very long, so we are still getting to know him, but one thing is clear: he is a sweetheart. He definitely commands attention with his looks, yet is a total cuddle bug. He seems to like all the other dogs at the rescue, does well on a leash and loves to go for walks. You have to meet him to get the full impact! Our Furry Friendz are available for adoption through a screening process which includes but is not limited to: a completed application, 3 referrals, a home visit, and a vet referral prior to their furever home placement. The dogs are Spayed/Neutered, micro chipped, current on all vaccines and on heart worm/flea preventive.
