Story
*hair blowing in the wind (even though she's indoors)* *unexplained sparkles in the air* *faint heavenly music* Yes, she is me. Chloe. Now that you are blinded by my beauty, let me explain why I am the absolute best girl on the inside too and so deserving of your (and everyone's) undivided adoration. I'm loyal, smart as a whip, and FUN, just to name a few. Unfortunately, I didn't come from the most glamorous beginnings. I was an outdoor doggy with not much interaction from birth and my family also left me behind when they moved. Thus, I wasn't really brought up interacting with you humans or being touched/handled. I've had my quirks while adjusting to being a family dog and will definitely need someone patient and understanding with me. (If you get too touchy right away, I don't like that and will try to protect myself.) However, if you are slow and gain my trust I will HANG on your every move. I have adjusted very quickly in the past with proper introductions to people. Even still, I would probably do best in a home without young children. I'm a lady after all and need time to sniff you out before you get grabby. I am an active girl and love to feel the wind in my hair outdoors too. I run with the speed of light and have a prey drive to sniff out bugs, lizards and more. I also love to play tug of war and fetch with my foster mommy inside. I bounce, bounce, bounce all the time! I am great on leash so walks and hikes would be great for me. Getting my energy out will help me focus on training too. I am very smart and learn quickly, but tend to lose interest if I'm still chock full of go, go, go!! With all of this perfection, all of your pet needs should be fulfilled, right? RIGHT? I hope so because I would do great as an only pet in the home. I have been able to co-exist with dogs at the rescue but I am a bit of a diva in my foster home. I have a domineering personality sometimes and will even mark like a male when I come across another dog's scent in my house. How dare they??? Existing? HERE? (She is otherwise house trained.) Considering that you and I know each other a little better now, you may pet me. Yes, I am very soft, I know. Please keep in mind that I am a Chow/shepherd mix and have hair that will require brushing, maybe even the occasional spa treatment, Swedish massage, 24k gold facials...yeahhhhhhhhhh.... Sorry! I forgot you were here. In all seriousness, once I trust you, I will allow you to brush me out without much fuss. It doesn't need to be daily but I am a rough and tumble kinda gal and can use help keeping my locks flowing and free. I also shed so if I seem to be losing my girlish figure, it's probably just extra hair that needs to be brushed off. I hope you have a strong vacuum. ;) I could go on for days about myself, but I'll stop here. Don't wanna overwhelm you. If you think you are up for the challenge of a total spitfire like me, please feel free to send in an application and foster mommy can tell you more about all of the grandeur that is...CHLOE. Adoption application: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/GDR/Dog Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX)

Story
Read about Celine’s dog day out! “ Hi BTR, Wanted to give my dog day out review with Celine. She was the sweetest! She was so curious, so playful, very friendly with me and gave me kisses. She knows "sit" when you have a treat in your hand. She LOVED being outside, she loved playing fetch, and she loved to explore and run. She was very well behaved in the car, she sat nicely on the seat and was quiet. We spent the day walking some trails, exploring an empty beach, playing fetch, and getting a pup cup. She was very gentle when I gave her treats from my hand, and very gentle with the pup cup. She also didn't food guard with me, when I initially gave her a treat, I took it back to break it up for her and she was patient and allowed me to do so politely. I know on her profile it says she doesn't like other dogs, and yet she still reacted appropriately when dogs were passing our vicinity out in public. She didn't bark, growl, lunge, or try to pull me on the leash toward them. We kept our distance of course but thought it was something great to note. (I know sometimes when I'm walking my own dog Glitter, other dogs across the street will notice her and pull their owner on the leash and bark.) Celine didn't do any of that. She did love squirrels though and pull the leash for them LOL. She is so beautiful and such a sweetheart, I absolutely loved spending time with her. Here are some photos from our day :) It is really awesome that you guys do the Dog Day Our Program”

Story
Hear what Ilona's foster has to say about her! "Meet Ilona! Ilona is a sweet, independent girl who loves the company of other dogs more than anything. She’s happiest when she has a playful canine companion to chase, so she’d thrive in a home with another dog who enjoys an active playmate. If her foster sisters are lounging around, she’ll let them know it’s time to play. In Ilona’s world, playtime is the best time! Though she adores her dog buddies, Ilona is a quiet and low-maintenance companion for people. She’s easy going around kids, but far more interested in playing with dogs than people. She’s an independent pup who prefers to nap solo rather than snuggle. She’s also content entertaining herself with a toy, the broom if you start sweeping, and her own tail! She’s doing great with potty training and will usually let you know when she needs to go outside. She’s crate-trained and a calm passenger on car rides. Ilona’s biggest love (besides dogs) is peanut butter! She’s so in tune with her routine that when she hears a phone alarm, she knows it’s peanut butter time. And if she doesn’t get it right away? Well, Ilona isn’t afraid to be a little diva about it! She also has a picky side. If she doesn’t like a certain food, she’ll be sure to let you know! Smart and observant, she’s picking up basic commands and loves exploring her surroundings. If you have a playful pup looking for a best friend, Ilona might be the perfect fit. Could she be the missing piece in your home?" Please note this pup has some medical conditions that our staff will be happy to speak to you about.

Story
I got my dog from a friend. She is about 2 and a half years old. She is a large mixed-breed female. She is friendly with people who are kind to her and has a gentle personality. She is very sweet and calm at home and I often describe her as a princess because she loves comfort and attention. I am looking for a loving and patient home for her. She would do best with someone who understands large dogs and can give her time, care, and affection. A home with space would be ideal. She bonds closely with her owner and is very loyal. I have about 2 months to find her a new home because I have to move soon and cannot keep pets where I am going. My goal is to make sure she goes to a safe and caring home where she will be loved and treated kindly. I truly love Lulu, and I am not trying to sell her. I did fee only $50 because my goal is not money my only goal is to find someone who will truly love and care for her. She is very special to me, and I want her to go to a safe & kind home.
