Story
Meet Jinx! If you’re looking for a fun, spirited, and loyal adventure buddy — Jinx might just be your perfect match! This gorgeous 2–3-year-old Husky/Great Pyrenees mix weighs about 60 pounds and has all the best traits of both breeds: beauty, brains, and a whole lot of personality! Jinx is spayed, up to date on shots, heartworm negative, house trained, and walks well on a leash. She’s a high-energy girl who loves to play hard and run fast — sometimes so fast you’ll swear she’s part bunny with the way she hops and jumps! Because of her playful style, she’d do best in a home with a fenced yard and either no children or older kids who understand her enthusiasm. She gets along great with other dogs, though her energy can be a bit much for calmer or senior pups. True to her Husky roots, Jinx loves to “talk” and share her thoughts in the most adorable ways. She’s sweet, loving, and full of life — just needs someone who can match her energy and give her the exercise and attention she deserves. Jinx can be shy or fearful around men, which suggests she may have had a rough experience in the past, but with patience and kindness, she warms up and shows what a wonderful dog she truly is. She’s not destructive — though she might sneak a chew on a toy when left alone — and she’s always ready to love and be loved.  Jinx is ready to hop, play, and chat her way into your heart — could she be your new best friend?January 19, 2026, 1:24 pm

Story
Meet Mochi Mochi is a 3.5-year-old female Australian Cattle Dog/Australian Shepherd mix with a playful spirit and a sensitive heart. She’s great with dogs and kids, house-trained, crate-trained, and walks well on leash. Mochi absolutely loves bouncy balls and will happily play fetch for as long as you’ll throw! She enjoys running and staying active, so a home with a yard would be ideal. She can be anxious and tends to bark when startled by loud noises or someone at the door. Mochi also has occasional submissive peeing, which has improved with confidence-building but still happens at times. She’ll do best with a patient, understanding adopter who can help her continue gaining confidence. Mochi was rescued as a puppy after being abandoned with her siblings and is now looking for a new home due to recent life changes. With love, patience, and playtime, Mochi will make a loyal and fun companion. January 19, 2026, 1:24 pm

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)
