We are looking to rehome our sweet 8.5 year old lab/corgi mix. She is a really sweet pup but cannot be in a house with small children or other dogs. We have had Lulu for 6+ years and she has always been fearful and a bit nippy at children. - not good with other dogs or children. -She is good with our cat- Lulu loves walks but is reactive to other dogs, crossing the street and using her vibrating collar is necessary. She needs a confident owner who can walk her and get her back on track when distracted by dogs. Does best with fenced in yard -2 chronic (easily managed) medical conditions, for thyroid and seizures. Daily medication necessary and easily given. Medicine is inexpensive. -loves pets, belly rubs and to cuddleWe will provide the remaining medicine food/treats, and her vibrating collar, leash, beds, treats, flea/tick medicine that we haveLulu truly is a wonderful dog but needs a different environment as she cannot be around children

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Lisha, the lovable Labrador mix puppy with a heart as big as her playful spirit! Born around January 25, 2024, her warm eyes and wagging tail, Lisha is sure to capture your heart from the moment you meet her. Lisha's journey to finding her forever home has been nothing short of extraordinary. Alongside her six siblings, she was pulled from her momma by Leon Valley Animal Control. These officers intervened when they discovered Lisha and her littermates confined in distressing conditions. The puppies were all left, with no food or water, to endure the sweltering heat in a dry fountain without relief. Thanks to the swift action of a good Samaritan who alerted local rescues, Lisha and her siblings were rescued from their ordeal and given a second chance at life. Despite the hardships she's faced, Lisha's resilient spirit remains unbroken, and her capacity for love knows no bounds. With her outgoing and sociable nature, Lisha is a true people-pup who never meets a stranger. Whether she's romping around in the yard or cuddled up for a nap, she's always eager for playtime and affection. This girl loves walking on a leash and will sit for treats. If you're ready to make Lisha a part of your family, you can apply for her adoption at www.adoggie4you.org. Her adoption fee of $300 not only covers the cost of bringing her into your home, but also includes a Proheart 6. This protects her from heartworms until 01/06/2025. Don't miss your chance to welcome Lisha into your life and be a part of her incredible journey. With your love and support, she's sure to thrive and bring endless joy to your home. Apply to adopt Lisha today and make her dreams of a forever family come true! This dog is currently in Texas; however, it can be transported to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington KY or all along the East Coast. If transported, there is an additional transport fee of $225. We do not transport to Rhode Island or Massachusetts due to their regulations.

Story
Hilda is kind of a formal name for such a big goofy girl like me! I am not sure who gave me the name, but they must be old and a little 'stuffy'... So I came from the high kill pound, scared and a little overwhelmed last spring. They basically have to kill almost all the dogs and pups that enter there....except there some very very lucky dogs and pups who get OUT of there- because of rescues! And they picked MEEEEEEEE!!! So I am here growing and playing and eating and running and LIVING! I am ready for the furever family who will love me! I am an ACTIVE girl, good with other male dogs. I am really best as an only dog in a home or with a male buddy who is medium energy. My family needs to be strong doggy leaders so I don't take over the "helm" in my home. So now you know about me, I want to know all about you too! So fill out the application and we can learn more about each other! ADOPT, DON'T SHOP!!!! MY LIFE DEPENDS ON IT!!! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area - $50 Temporary Fuel Charge will be added)

Story
Danny DogVIto is a beautiful male Terrier mix looking for his furever home! He is a smart and happy boy who always just wanted a home. He was saved in a neighborhood when he started hanging out on various house's porches scratching (aka Scratch)- at their doors to get in. He literally camped out waiting and waiting....... LUCKILY the neighborhood cared enough to call the rescue and he was caught and brought to safety! He is a great medium-sized boy (30#) who thinks he is in charge of the fun! He is smart and knows how to give his all to his family,) so he will need a smart and FUN family- but just like how he was found in the neighborhood- you will get a LOYAL companion. He loves cuddling up to people whenever he gets the chance and will snuggle into your arms like a long lost friend! His ideal home would be with older kids (teenagers), he would help them with their homework ;) So if you are looking for a cute, silly, active boy to complete your family, he is the one!!!! APPLY NOW!! Local adoption fee $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area, $50 temporary fuel fee will be included)
