Story
Meet Gumbo! This adorable boy was stuck in a high intake animal shelter for months before we saved him. Gumbo needed a tail amputation due to an unknown previous injury. His recovery went great and he is now all healed up and loving life! The only thing he is missing is a forever family. At this time, we're hoping to find a family for Gumbo who has another resident dog. Dogs help Gumbo feel safe and allow him to more easily settle into new environments. At only 19 lbs, Gumbo brings a whole lot of fun in a tiny package. He is super playful with dogs of all sizes and he is friendly with cats. He loves to be around people. His foster mom says he is the most snuggly foster dog out of the 50+ foster dogs she has cared for. Gumbo is estimated to be around 1 year old, neutered, vaccinated and current on prevention. Dog friendly Crate trained Leash trained Potty-trained If you are interested in adding Gumbo to your family, please fill out the adoption application found on our website: www.savingsouthtexas.com/adoptables

Story
Frito is a compact powerhouse of love and fun! This sweet boy is a true human-oriented companion who is focused on his people. If you are looking for a loyal shadow who keeps his amber eyes locked on yours and frequently checks in to make sure you're still close, Frito is your guy. He is an active, higher-energy dog who brings a joyful brightness to every room he enters. Frito loves to burn off his extra steam with a classic case of the "zoomies" or a fast-paced game of play. Because he is so eager and enthusiastic, his playful nature can sometimes manifest in to more puppy like behavior. Once he gets his exercise, a completely different side of him appears: he will happily settle down, sit quietly right at your feet, and sweetly look up at you begging for a well-deserved belly rub. Frito seems to be housetrained, knowing exactly what to do the moment he hits the grass on his walks. He is a curious, affectionate, and incredibly sweet dog who is ready to find an active household where he can be the center of someone's world.

Story
Meet Magnolia! 💌🌸 Not every love story begins with fireworks. Sometimes, it takes a little patience, a little time, and the willingness to let someone get comfortable before they show you their heart. Magnolia had a difficult start in life, and she's learned to be cautious around people she doesn't know. She may need a little time and more than one calm introduction before she's comfortable enough to let her guard down. But once she feels safe, you'll discover a completely different side of this little sweetheart. She's a devoted cuddlebug who loves lap time, gives kisses freely, and is perfectly happy being carried around like the little princess she is. When she's not soaking up affection, Magnolia has perfected the art of getting cozy. Blankets are her favorite hiding places, and she once gave the staff quite a scare by burrowing so thoroughly that nobody could find her. Turns out, she hadn't gone anywhere. She'd simply decided her blanket fort was the place to be! We can't blame her for appreciating a good cozy spot. Magnolia is looking for someone who understands that trust takes time. A gentle approach, a little patience, and the chance to get comfortable at her own pace can make all the difference. She may not shower you with affection on the first meeting, but the people who get to know her discover just how much love this tiny sweetheart has to give. And once you're her person, you may find yourself with a little shadow who follows you around, curls up close, and happily accepts all the cuddles you're willing to give. Some relationships take a little longer to begin, but Magnolia has a way of making that journey feel pretty special. ❤️

Story
I’ve been fostering Peanut since she was around 3 months old, she was born Jan 7, of this year, I also had her sister but she’s been adopted for over a month now and it breaks my heart that Peanut doesn’t have anyone to play with and I’m gone from home for work from around 9am-7pm. I love her so much and I want to keep her but I can’t afford the house I’m renting and I have to rent a room in my friends house and she has a dog that isn’t good with other dogs. I answered that Peanut isn’t house trained but she DOES go potty on pee pads in just one location of my house. She doesn’t go anywhere else. She is very cuddly and makes me lift my comforter at night so she can sleep against me the whole night. She doesn’t even get up til I do, she’s a very sweet dog who deserves someone who can be home more for her. I want to keep her so bad but my fiance left me and moved out of state and left me with this rental house I can’t afford. I don’t want to take her to a shelter

Story
I'm writing about my dog Sammie. She's a 3-year-old female dachshund/Chihuahua mix, 11 lbs. She's sweet and loves to play, though she's standoffish with new people at first and then warms up. She needs a calm, adult-only home with no children and no other pets — she doesn't get along with other dogs. She is sweet and cuddly and always likes to sleep under the covers. Enjoys her toys and treats! Since my divorce I've been working much more, and Sammie was deeply bonded to my ex-husband and has been miserable without him. This is a heartbreaking decision, but I believe she'll be happier in a home that can give her more time and attention.
