Story
Bandit here, checking in for pup duty! I’m just a guy with a big, wild dream of finding my fur-ever family. So, if you are also looking for your fur-ever best friend, then let me tell you a little about myself. I really, really love car/truck rides. There is nothing quite like a breeze blowing through your fur, riding around with your best friend, and perhaps picking up a pup cup! Why don't we head from our drive and do some hiking - my other favorite thing! From the foothills to the Bosque, and even the park! But to be quite honest, as fun a they are, cats are not really my cup of tea. But I do love other pups! Team members have mentioned that I seem to know stay, heel and lay down. Pretty good, huh? So if all this sounds gravy, come meet me today! Ruff!

Story
This girl is full of love, life, and joy. Ping’s journey hasn’t been the easiest. Found as a stray as a young pup, she was quickly adopted and grew up in a home where she was deeply loved. Life changes have brought Ping back to us, and she’s once again looking for a family to love. This lively, affectionate girl is happiest when she’s with her people, chasing toys or running around with friends at the dog park. She’s wonderfully social with other dogs and gentle with little humans she’s met. If you’re looking for a dog who will love you with her whole heart and remind you how bright life can be, come meet Ping. She’s ready to be someone’s best friend all over again! Ping's former extended family shares, "Ping is such an affectionate and playful dog. She is so smart. She learns quickly and has so much potential. Targeting the behavior you want to see more of and rewarding with a treat or praise is so effective."

Story
You won't need two eyes to see that I'm a really great boy that's ready to find a loving home to call my own. I have a super cute face that's a mirror into my sweet disposition. I love to give hugs and kisses and sit obediently by your side like a loyal friend. I'm smart, too and know sit and down already. I would love to accompany you on walks and playing in the park or just sitting by you watching a good movie. I'm athletic and agile so I'm able to do more strenuous activities with you like hiking and running. Come see me soon! You won't be disappointed!

Story
Good Golly, Ms. Molly!! Don’t I have the most amazing eyes and eyebrows? I’m a small young, very happy girl that loves walks. I’m great on leash and adore meeting new people. Playing with other pups is just so much fun too. I’m playful and extremely smart - so ready to learn new tricks. I just nailed “sit”. Love to stay by our side when we're bench surfing. Cuddles are the best and I’m always checking in with you. Ready to explore our new lives together? I know I’m ready for you.

Labrador Retriever Mixed Breed (Large)

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Just one look at the soft grey muzzle and the beautiful face on this senior and your heart will melt! Ginny may be 8 years old, but she is clearly young at heart and has so much energy and love to give to a special family! She is so excited to go for a walk, and is curious about all the sights and smells. However, the true personality of this girl comes out when you sit on one of the benches and she eagerly jumps up to sit next to you and begs for those special pets and belly rubs! I would bet that she would also jump up on a couch in your house to join you when you watch your favorite movie! She is a real treasure! Come meet her (and bring some string cheese - her favorite treat)! A team member says, "Ginny is a true sweetheart. She's a perfect lady on a leash, and she loves affection. While she might take a minute to warm up in new environments, she gets very wiggly when she meets new people and likes to lower to the ground and roll over onto her back for belly pets. She also seems to enjoy being near other mellow or medium-energy dogs and following their lead exploring new things."
