Story
Annie is a 4-year-old Brittany looking for an active and loving home.She is exceptionally friendly and affectionate, balancing energy and companionship. She enjoys being active outdoors, whether exploring new scents, running in open spaces or watching birds, but she is also happy to curl up for cuddles with her favourite people.She is quite food-motivated, hence eager to learn and responsive to positive reinforcement training. She is crate-trained and comfortably relaxes in her crate for several hours. Is walked on a leash daily and has basic manners, though she would benefit from continied leash training as she can be enthusiastic on walks.She has a gentle, easy-going temperament and is very tolerant of handling. She is comfortable being touched all over and groomed and loves bath time. She is social with other dogs, has experience being around cats and is gentle with children.She has a natural interest in small game and will instinctively point, but has not received hunting training.

Story
Meet Mojo (Mo)A handsome 6 year old Anatolian Shepherd Mix who loves life. We adopted Mo from Hope Animal Rescue when he was about 12 weeks. A litter-mate was DNA tested so that was when we learned about his breed. Mojo is super quirky, loves going for walks and just being in the same room as his people. One of his best features is that he actually smiles when you come home. He will snuggle on the couch as long as you allow it. The perfect home for Mojo would likely be as an only male dog or with another dog that will allow him to be alpha, because his only issue is he resource guards from his fur-brother. While he has done great with our toddler, we still think he might do better with older children in the home or with an experienced person that is willing to train more against the resource guarding.We just want the best home for Mo, so we plan to donate his adoption fee to a local rescue once he is placed in his forever home.

Story
Meet Wishbone! The PBS kids’ show likely got the name idea after seeing this handsome guy! He is a fabulous terrier mix. He is smart, can sometimes be a bit stubborn, puts his sniffer to great use, has lots of energy & plays hard. He particularly enjoys rolling in the grass. Once he is tired, he is a champion snuggler. He needs a little more work on his leash manners as he is strong & eager when he begins but settles and walks great after about 10 minutes. Wishbone gets along well with other dogs, but he’d thrive best with a calm companion. No small dogs or cats as he has a prey drive, not surprising given his heritage. Wishbone has so much love to give & has been waiting a long time for his own family. Could you make his wish come true? Local adoption fee is $300 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Goliath is a stunning sleek boy! He turns heads and melts your heart with his big pittie smile! He LOVES people! Maybe a little too much. Some days this big 50 pound love bug still thinks hes a 10 pound puppy and wants to sit in our lap! Goliath would do best in a home that has older children as he still doesn't realize how big he is as he is still full of his puppy energy. He would never hurt anyone! He just doesn't realize how big he is and can easily knock down littles. He knows basic command and is house trained and crate trained. He gets along with other dogs but tends to play on the more energetic side, so other large dogs are best for him. He has a big big heart and will be someone's best buddy on the road, hiking/fishing/camping/running buddy. A good pittie is a TIRED pittie :) And Goliath is a GOOD PITTIE :) Local adoption fee is $300 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

If you’re looking for sweet instead of rowdy, Frances is your girl. She’s the total opposite of wild and chaotic — calm, loving, and full of gentle affection. OK, she has her fun and cray cray times when she sees you!! :) Frances has truly never met a stranger and believes everyone she meets is (or should be!) her new best friend. Her favorite way to say hello? Jumping up for the sweetest hugs. 💗 She walks beautifully on a leash and is crate trained, making her an easy and well-mannered companion. Frances has been through a lot over the past six months, and she’s finally ready to start the next chapter of her life with a family of her own. Frances would love a yard to explore and kids or a dog friend to play with, but she’s just as happy being the only dog and soaking up all the love and attention for herself. She’s wonderfully flexible like that — she just wants to belong. Frances is ready to bring her sweet heart, happy hugs, and loyal companionship into a forever home. Could that be yours?
