Story
Buddy Roo is a 5-year-old brindle French Bulldog who is looking for a home where he can finally feel safe, loved, and understood. ❤️ He hasn’t had the easiest life, and because of that, he needs someone who understands the Frenchie breed and knows how to provide clear boundaries, confident leadership, and consistency. Buddy can be a little feisty when he doesn’t have someone who knows how to handle his personality, so he’s not the right fit for everyone—but with the right person, he has the potential to be a wonderful companion. Buddy’s ideal home: • Someone experienced with French Bulldogs or similar strong-willed breeds • A confident owner who can be patient, consistent, and assertive • A home where he can be the only dog • No children • He has done okay with cats, but introductions would need to be handled carefully • Local adopters only, so he can have the extra time and support he may need while getting to know his new owner Buddy Roo deserves someone who will see past his feisty side and give him the structure, patience, and love he needs to thrive. He may take a little time to trust, but we’re hoping to find the person who will give him the chance to show what a good boy he can be. If you think you may be the right fit for Buddy Roo, please reach out. We want to make sure his next home is his forever home. Local adoption fee is $400 (in TX only)

Story
Meet Maple, a brindle, 7 month old, mix breed, weighing around 25lbs. Maple and her sister Midnight was abandoned in a trailer park in a carrier. Maple was a little shy at first when she came in, but now she is very outgoing and loves attention. Maple loves to play with the other dogs in the shelter and listens when you tell her to leave alone. Maple is learning to walk on a leash and loves to go out and play with the kids when they come. So if you are looking for a young, energetic, outgoing little girl to go on walks and play in the back yard with Maple is your girl.
