Hennessy was born November 24, 2018, he is 7 years old. Really sweet dog and playful, he has been around 3 kids from a baby to a toddler, and now to a 15 year old. Really protective over the family, and a good guard dog. He has never bitten anyone nor fight with other dogs. Looking for someone to keep loving him and give him a great home. Unfortunately due to marriage problem and not being able to take him with me(dad) and mom not able to take care of him anymore, have no other option but to rehome him.

Story

He is a sweet, patient boy and his birthday is Christmas Eve. He's good company and great protection. He minds his manners pretty well and will listen to you. We have had other dogs and cats before and he gets used to them just fine. We have little kids and our living area is small now so we no longer have the space, but we decided it would be best to give someone else a chance to love him and be loved by him, as he is in very good health and has never had any health issues. Since he listens well, he would exceed in guard dog training school; or he could just be a cuddle buddy for you all day. He is the best of both worlds, and would do whatever he could to see you happy.

Story

Meet Raven! This pretty girl is a 3 year old Pitbull mix. She was adopted from here as a puppy but sadly, she was returned recently for not getting along with the cat in the home. Raven is the happiest girl! She is content and happy no matter what she is doing. Whether she is snuggled up in her bed with her favorite toy or playing in the play yard, she is always happy. She also loves to share her toys and will bring it to you. Raven is well mannered but needs to work on her jumping a little bit. She also keeps her kennel very clean. We are unsure how she is with other dogs but all dogs in the home will need to be present to meet her. She can’t be in a home with cats. Raven will be available for adoption tomorrow at 12pm and is eager to meet you.

Story

Application link https://forms.gle/mtaWGXgjgBRLat1T7 Date of Birth August 15, 2025 The total cost of adoption is $225 $150 Adoption fee Approved adopters can pick up at our rescue in Texarkana, TX or we can transport for a $75 fee to any of the locations on our transport route listed below. Only the $75 transport fee is due up front to secure the adoption and transport. Frankie and his 6 brothers and sisters were born to their precious mother and she was homeless. Fortunately, it was hot in Texas when they were born because their mother had almost no hair as a result of her neglect and abandonment. In spite of her skin issues, she was so proud of her puppies and such a good mama. They loved her back which was something that she hadn't known in her young life. Mama found mercy and kindness and a home in New Boston, Texas. Her new owner contacted Greg King Canine Recovery and they were able to take Mama's litter in to their rescue. Mama is on medication for her skin issues which was primarily due to a lack of adequate nutrition. Now her puppies just need their forever homes. Latrell King told mama, "We will take care of your babies until they get their homes just as you have yours now." Based on physical traits and the expertise of our veterinarian, we infer that he is a mix of American Staffordshire and maybe border collie. However, this is based on physical traits. We have not done a DNA test on this puppy. Each puppy has received a minimum of 3 puppy vaccinations and will have a health certificate indicating he/she has been examined by a licensed veterinarian and has been cleared for adoption and transport. In Texas, puppies receive their Rabies vaccination, tag & certificate at 12 weeks. You will receive a folder with veterinary information to take to your vet. Only the $75 transport fee is due to secure transport from our rescue in Texarkana, Texas to one of the 7 locations on our transport route. The $150 adoption fee is not due until you pick him/her up on the transport date at the location you select. You also have the option to designate someone else to pick up your pet. If you haven’t yet seen our Facebook Reels of past adoptions and transports, please do so under Greg King & Greg King Canine Recovery. They are posted in both places. https://forms.gle/mtaWGXgjgBRLat1T7 Greg King Canine Recovery Dog Rescue is located at 484 Farren Road in Texarkana, Texas 75503. Once a month, we transport all pre-adopted dogs and puppies to the following 7 cities because all of the shelters in our area are kill shelters, so we try to save all that we can by getting them adopted and transporting them to their new homes. These 7 cities are currently on our transport route. Polar Bluff, Missouri Arnold, Missouri Springfield, Illinois Bloomington, Illinois Rockford, Illinois Joliet, Illinois Kalamazoo, Michigan Please contact me, Latrell King, at 903-280-4233 for adoption questions. Please send a text before calling and then leave a voicemail because I don’t have my phone with me when I’m taking care of the puppies, cleaning kennels, feeding, vaccinating, etc. I will return your call or respond to your message ASAP. I will explain the process with the approval of your application.
