Story
Meet Stella Rose🌹 This sweet girl has come such a long way on her journey to becoming a brave, confident pup. Stella is what we call a “project dog,” meaning she’ll need a patient adopter willing to earn her trust—but the reward is truly something special. Stella thrives around other dogs and does wonderfully with cats. She’s especially happy when she has furry friends to guide her—she’s playful, cuddly, and finds comfort in their companionship. Food is also the way to her heart! She eats well and loves snacks, which we’re using to help build trust and confidence. Since arriving at her foster home, Stella has experienced many “firsts”—including her recent bath, which she handled like a champ! We’re continuing to work on helping her feel safe and secure in her crate. Stella will likely always need extra caution, as she can be a bit of a flight risk. She currently wears a no-slip harness (included with adoption) to help keep her safe. Her ideal home includes: 🐶 1–2 well-adjusted, friendly dogs 🏡 A secure, fenced yard 💛 Patient, understanding adult humans In just a couple of weeks with her foster, Stella has already made incredible progress. With the right home, she’ll continue to blossom into the amazing companion we know she can be. Ready to give Stella Bella Beags the loving, patient home she deserves? If so, please visit allhoundrescue.org/adopt to complete your adoption questionnaire 🐶💖

Story
Meet Saphira: Big Beauty, Big Personality, Big Fun! 🎀 Saphira is proof that you can be strong and sweet! A Goliath Malinois/Shepherd mix, she came to us from Miami alongside her littermates (Deino and Chapo) when their former owner became overwhelmed by the needs of three powerful puppies. Why You’ll Love Her: Unlike some working breeds that can be aloof, Saphira loves people. She is social, engaging, and ready to be your best friend. She is incredibly playful and brings a fun, happy energy to everything she does. The Ideal Match: While she is friendly and affectionate, remember that Saphira is still a large working breed mix! She has energy to burn. She is looking for an active home where she can run, play, and get plenty of attention. She would love a family that wants to include her in their adventures and then snuggle up afterwards.

Story
Meet Chapo. He isn't the dog that runs up to everyone at the party—he’s the one watching the door. A large Malinois/Shepherd mix, Chapo was surrendered because his previous owner couldn't manage his strong personality. Personality Profile: Chapo is a complex boy. He is naturally protective and can be reactive when he feels uncertain or unchallenged. He takes a little longer to warm up to new people than his littermates, and he has a tendency to assert dominance in a pack setting. Why Adopt Him? Because once Chapo decides you are "his," he is all in. Once he trusts you, his goofy, playful, and affectionate side comes out in full force. He is a diamond in the rough that needs polishing by a patient, firm, and fair leader. He needs a job, a strong leader, and a little patience. Are you the one to show Chapo the way?

Story
Sultan was on death row and would of been put down today if we didn't take him in. He's a 7 year old Belgian malinois and very friendly to people but dog selective. He is also very independent and loves the environment we provide where he has a couple acres to roam freely. He doesn’t leash pull and knows some basic commands. Sultan also does well in car rides. He is up for adoption but we will be very careful and selective of who adopts him. He will not be adopted by anyone with other dogs or animals.

Story
Mr. Pluto is on the hunt for his forever sofa and it very well could be yours. Pluto Potato is around 6 years old. He’s a basset hound mix weighing around 72lbs. He’s a big, sweet boy. He loves toys, belly rubs, naps, and soaking up love from his humans. He is up to date on vaccines, neutered, and heartworm negative. Pluto is potty trained and while he walks fine on a leash, he is a little lazy and not very motivated to go on walks. This could be due to his healing injuries after being struck by a car right before coming to us, or because he’s half basset (haha). Pluto is not food aggressive, but he’s food motivated. He is currently being fostered with two other dogs and seems to get along well with them, they even share food and water bowls with no issue. He’s also not toy aggressive, and shares nicely, unless it comes to treats. He’ll steal a treat without shame. 🤣 That said, he is very polite and gentle when it comes to taking a treat. Pluto is crate trained, but can be protective of his crate when he’s in there, and will give a growl if you try to get him out before he’s ready. His foster family keeps his crate door open and he goes in and out at his leisure. Pluto does well with people, cats, and other calm dogs. He hasn’t been tested with children, but would likely do well with older kids. He’d be best in a home with a family who want to give him plenty of attention. It’s clear he’s a very loving dog and craves affection. If Pluto is the dog for you, please fill out an adoption questionnaire by visiting AllHoundRescue.org/adopt
