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 10/6/23.  Adilynn was at the Smith County, TX Animal Shelter almost 30 days, so we tagged her, and picked her up on 9/28/23.  She has an underbite, is a sweet young dog that is gentle, but playful.  We don't know if she is house or crate trained, she does well on a leash, and is good with other dogs.  We have not seen any signs of her trying to dig or climb over the fencing.  We don't know how she is with cats.  She was estimated to be 1 year 6 months old on 8/30/23.  She was spayed on 10/18/23, and his heartworm negative.  She was 48 pounds on 9/28/23, and on 7/5/25 she weighed a chunky 73 pounds since she was spayed.  She could lose some weight in a home of her own that can control what she eats. $25 adoption fee, since donations were made for her vet care.March 17, 2026, 3:04 pm

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.March 17, 2026, 3:04 pm

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.March 17, 2026, 3:04 pm

She enjoys the simple things in life like a comfy spot to relax, time with her humans, and of course mealtime.

Story
✨ Meet Bridgett – from survival to second chance ✨ Just weeks ago, Bridgett was fighting to stay alive. Rescued from life on a chain in late February, she was severely emaciated at just 41 lbs — a heartbreaking shell of the dog she was meant to be. Today, thanks to a loving foster, she’s slowly healing and discovering what it means to live. 💛 Bridgett is learning everything for the first time — how to play, how to trust, how to just be a dog. She’s recently started playing (and it’s the sweetest thing!), and her tail hasn’t stopped wagging since she realized she’s safe. 🐾 High energy, playful, and full of life 🐾 Loves people and kids 🐾 Great with other dogs — would thrive with a playmate 🐾 Still learning leash manners (she’s strong and excited!) 🐾 Needs house training and basic skills 🐾 Craves attention, love, and companionship She’s only spent short periods indoors, so Bridgett will need a patient, experienced foster or foster-to-adopt home willing to guide her through the basics and show her the life she’s always deserved. She will be spayed soon and will begin heartworm treatment, but what she needs most right now is a committed person to continue her journey. Bridgett has come so far in such a short time — imagine what she’ll become with someone by her side. She will repay you with unwavering loyalty, love, and a lifetime of gratitude. 💕 📩 If you can foster or are interested in fostering to adopt Bridgett, please reach out! Spay appoint booked for end of December. Adoption fee covers all vetting.
