Story
Old Yeller, is that a new trend? Old stuff made NEW?? Cause I am NOT old, although I am Yeller, a really pretty YELLER COLOR!!! :) I am a Yeller Chesapeake bay retriever/ YELLER lab mix, it is important for my new family to know about the Chesapeake bay breed. We can be very stubborn, smart and independent and I really like to be in charge, so my new family needs to be strong leaders too. I am a handsome bloke, with swirls of yellow and white all through my coat. I am very smart and very sweet. I can from a high kill shelter with no hope- Now I EXUDE hope!! And LOVE!!! I WAS heartworm positive but have already finished the treatment and am NEGATIVE and just stay on prevention for the rest of my life. I am good with other dogs, but really would be best in an only dog home, cause I want all the attention :) I LOVE MY people and I tend to take "control" of my home so have to have a couple of things... 1) STRONG leadership owner, 2) I have to have an owner who will be wiling to not let me meet everyone who visits.. I want to protect my home a little too much... and 3) I have to stay in the San Antonio/TX area so my rescue friends can keep close tabs on me and how i am doing :) I have been running and playing since I am safe, but really am a couch potato. I am a bigger boy and about 65-70#. Look me up, get my number, text or call me OR just APPLY to ADOPT ME!!! I will be waiting by the phone!!! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX)

Story
Meet Jet — the cutest dude around! (JET lives in Levelland, Texas with a Levelland Animal Friends foster family...he will be transported through Project Freedom Ride when he is adopted) *8 Months Old as of 11-09-25 *Will weigh about 30 lbs full grown *Dog-Friendly *Treat Motivated *Neutered, fully vaccinated and heartworm negative If you’re looking for a sweet, easygoing companion who still knows how to have fun — Jet is your guy! His life started out a bit rocky as he was homeless in a tiny rural town in Texas. But, his luck changed when he landed in a great foster home that has taken care of his every need! Jet is a laid-back pup who enjoys a good play session with toys, but he’s just as happy relaxing by your side. He likes meeting new people and gets along well with other dogs, making him a great fit for many home types. He’s doing well learning his leash manners and is very treat motivated — which means training is fun and rewarding for both of you. He’s the perfect mix of puppy energy and calm temperament and should mature around 30 pounds — a great medium-sized buddy! Jet is ready for a family who will love him, continue his training, and share life’s adventures — big and small.

Story
He is a very great and loving dog. Unfortunately, hes not the best around my infant daughter. Hes decent around her but I cant trust him around her alone so I need to rehome him. He is a cuddler but he does bark a lot! He is almost 3 years old in March 2026. Very well potty trained and loves to be active as much as possible.

Story
Meet Cheezit! 🧡🐾 Cheezit is an adorable little mystery mutt who’s about 3 months old and weighs around 11 pounds. We estimate she’ll be about 25 pounds full grown, making her the perfect small-to-medium sized companion! Cheezit may be a tiny bit reserved at first, but don’t let that fool you — once she gets to know you and feels comfortable, she turns into the sweetest, most loving little girl. She’s the kind of pup who just needs a minute to warm up… and then she’ll steal your whole heart. 💛 Cute, gentle, and full of potential to blossom into a confident best friend, Cheezit is ready for a forever family who will give her love, patience, and plenty of snuggles.
