We are fostering Cha Cha because a friend was getting a divorce and working 12 hour days. We agreed to help her out by taking care of Cha Cha for a while. As our family and needs are growing and changing, we too have less time for pets. Cha Cha is an amazing dog, will fetch, jump, super athletic. He is crate trained and will always go in for a treat! If your looking for a dog that will bond to you and snuggle, its Cha Cha!

Story
Yolanda (age 6) is the sweetest family dog. She loves “watching TV” (looking out the window) and keeping an eye on the birds in their feeder. She likes to snuggle her humans while they read or work or relax. She also enjoys sunbathing on the deck, taking bike rides, and going on hiking adventures. Her favorite sleeping spot is next to a human! Yolanda is really good with kids (our youngest was 6 when we adopted her). She likes to wake the kids up with kisses in the mornings and lets them carry her around and hug her. She is cautious around men and very reactive to other dogs, especially when on a leash. We need to re-home her because she has become aggressive toward one of our dogs and has bitten her on a few occasions, despite precautionary measures. As a result, our veterinarian has suggested we find her a new home and that it be one in which she is the only dog. We are so sad to have to make this decision, as she truly is such a lovable dog. We hope she will find a perfect new home!

Story
Greetings, Muggles! My name is Sphynxee, but around here they sometimes call me Dobby's long-lost cousin because of my adorable oversized ears. Seriously, if you've ever wanted your very own house elf, I might be the next best thing! My foster family believes I spent most of my life outdoors, so the magical world of living inside a house has been a brand-new adventure. At first, things like couches, crates, and all the strange human routines seemed as mysterious as the Room of Requirement. But I'm a clever witch-in-training and have been learning quickly! I've already mastered my crate, walk beautifully on a leash, and absolutely love exploring every corner of my kingdom. I'm still studying advanced spells like potty training and figuring out which treasures are acceptable chew toys and which ones belong to my humans. Progress, not perfection! One thing is certain: I've fully embraced my inner princess. These days you'll find me proudly strutting through the house, ears bouncing, following my favorite people from room to room to make sure no magical adventures happen without me. I get along wonderfully with dogs of all sizes and am great with kids too. Whether it's joining the pack for playtime or soaking up attention from my humans, I'm happiest when surrounded by friends. When I first arrived, I had some hair loss that made me look a little less magical than I felt, but after treatment my beautiful coat is growing back nicely. Every day I become a little more fabulous—and trust me, I know it. So if you're looking for a sweet, loyal companion with Dobby ears, princess energy, and a heart full of love, wave your wand and say the magic words: "Sphynxee, you're home." 🏰✨🐾 Local adoption fee is $350(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $650 (includes transport to your area)
