Story
Meet Bobby – the little loaf with BIG personality!At around 5 years old and a perfectly portable 30 pounds, Bobby is the ideal “just right” size pup. He loves nothing more than hanging out with his people, soaking up attention, and being your loyal sidekick.Now, we’ll be honest… Bobby is very smart. Like, “escape artist extraordinaire” smart. Fences? He sees them more as suggestions. But don’t worry—this clever boy is fantastic on a leash and would much rather spend his time exploring the world by your side as your daily walking buddy.And yes… everyone asks: what breed is Bobby? Our expert analysis says he’s part “breadloaf” with a sprinkle of basset and terrier mixed in for good measure!Bonus: Bobby’s foster reports that he doesn’t care about cats at all—he’s perfectly content to do his own thing and let them do theirs.If you’re looking for a fun, quirky, intelligent companion who will keep life interesting and your walks well-attended, Bobby is your guy.🐶 Adopting a Dog from BAHS 🐶All of our dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, and heartworm tested before going home.Please keep in mind that we cannot guarantee how a dog will do with children, other dogs, or cats. If you already have a dog, we require a meet-and-greet to make sure everyone gets along.For everyone’s safety, your current dog must be spayed or neutered and up to date on vaccinations before you can be approved for adoption.

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
Meet Grace! Grace is an approximately 7 month old Chihuahua/Terrier mix (best guess) with the sweetest personality and an adorable little face to match. She is expected to stay on the smaller side, likely under 25 pounds fully grown based on her current age and weight. Grace is a loving, friendly girl who gets along well with kids and other dogs. She is already doing wonderfully with house training and uses a doggy door like a pro. She has a gentle, easygoing personality that will make her a wonderful addition to almost any family looking for a smaller companion. Whether you are looking for a cuddle buddy, a family dog, or a little sidekick to join you on daily adventures, Grace is ready to steal your heart. Grace will be spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines and preventions prior to adoption. $250 Local Adoption Fee (in Texas) $550 Out of State Fee (includes transport to your area)
