Hello there, I'm Ruben - no sandwich associations needed! While I may not be a tasty deli treat, I am quite the catch. Think of me as a unique blend, like a Husky with a twist!

At heart, I'm a cool and energetic guy who's seen a lot in my young life. Now, I'm on a quest to find the perfect family to call my own. With an abundance of love and vitality, I'm a friendly fellow who gets along with just about everyone. I'm like the ideal side dish to complement your family's recipe for happiness. So, don't wait - place your order for a lifelong companion, and let's embark on this adventure together!

She's also an avid water enthusiast, always up for a splashing good time with the water hose. Niabi gets along with her housemates, though she's known to give them the once-over to size them up. Supervision ensures everyone gets along swimmingly. On a leash, she's eager but pulls with exuberance, a behavior we're working on refining.Chew toys are a must in Niabi's world - she loves them durable and entertaining.

If you're prepared for a whirlwind of affection, fun, and boundless energy, Niabi is eagerly awaiting her forever family.

Cole's in the house! And he's ready to be adopted! This cute, boy does well with others and is super laid back! He loves to have his back scratched! Cole is a bit shy and will need a loving and accepting family to coax him out of his shell. He and his siblings came from the streets as pups and he has had the hardest time becoming more social and comfortable with new people. But he HAS made significant strides!! Cole has some hip issues and has had one surgery to help his hip feel better. He has recovered and is feeling better and better :) Some basic information about Cole; he is a male, Shepherd/Husky mix, and is expected to be medium-sized (20-59lbs). He is waiting for you at the gate! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX)

MEET FORREST Forrest holds a special place in our hearts! Crawling his paralized self to safety only for the public to turn around and treat him like he was a problem. He was never the problem! He knew that if he got himself to safety the right people were going to find him and boy did he get lucky! Forrest was picked up by a rescuer and brought to the vet for attention. He now has a wheel chair and can cruise all over the place! He is living the best life in his foster home and is SO ready to find a home to call his own where he will be loved and treated how a sweet, kind and happy pup like him should be treated!

Smarty Marty is just that...one SMART girl!!! She was found just broken and defeated. Didn't trust the people who were trying to help her because people are who hurt her and neglected her ;( Smarty's foster mom and savior says, "It's hard to post and talk about her without tearing up because I'm just in such awww of how far she has come. A whole village stepped up to get her here and I want to thank them all." She found her HERO and now is ready for the family who will love her for WHO SHE IS FOREVER!! She will require long term allergy meds and a prescription diet plus a special adopter who is willing to work with a RESCUED dog. Patience is a must for a dog who we don't know where she came from and don't know what she went through. Good with other dogs Playful but can be rough so best no small children Good with cats but allergic to cat dander 🫤 Puppy pad trained Loves her kennel Loves to snuggle LOVES YOU!!! Adopt her soon!!! Be a PART of her NEXT BEST CHAPTER!! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)

Hi, I’m George (Georgie)!🐶✨ Full-time good boy. Part-time toddler wrangler. I’m a professional napper, expert snack detector, and self-appointed neighborhood squirrel patrol. I live with my 2.5-year-old foster human—he’s sticky, loud, and a little clumsy, but I love him. We’re best friends. I help him eat things he drops (on purpose, I swear), and he helps me sneak onto the furniture. It’s a beautiful partnership. My hobbies include: 🦴 Chewing things that were definitely not meant for chewing 🚨 Barking at absolutely nothing 💤 Dramatic flops in high-traffic areas 💖 Following my tiny human like a shadow with a tail I take my job as emotional support floof very seriously. If you sit down, I will sit on you. If you’re eating, I will stare into your soul. And if you ask “Who’s a good boy?”—spoiler alert: it’s me. Local adoption fee is $250 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)
