Story
Hershey is a fun loving girl who enjoys long walks and playing fetch! She is 1 year old, spayed, current on vaccines and monthly preventatives. She was found with a litter of puppies and turned into a high kill shelter in Houston, TX. When she’s not playing, Hershey enjoys cuddling up and getting her belly rubbed. She likes to snuggle up in the morning until she’s ready to get up. Hershey sleeps in her crate at night, she sometimes needs encouraging to go in but is calm once she’s in. She goes in great for treats! Hershey loves food puzzles and snuffle mats to help her slow down when she eats. Being a street dog, she is still learning that food is available a few times a day! She walks nicely on a leash and those cute ears hear everything around her! Hershey would love to find her forever family and she is hoping that it’s you!

Story
Porsche is a sweet adventurous girl who loves to play and be with her people she is a 1.3-year-old spayed utd on shots microchipped and ready to come north at the end of September she was saved at the last minute from the euth list in Houston and deserves a second chance she would love a busy family without cats she walks well on the leash and rides well in a car she is housetrained and crate trained Do I have any rescues out there who have an adopter looking for a dog like Porsche?! She’s fully vetted and available to transfer! Or anybody who is ready to foster or adopt?! She’s friendly and social. Good with other dogs and kids. Not good with cats though- but with the right owner, she could learn to leave them alone. She’s thriving in her foster home and her handler focus has come a long way! She’s currently in Texas and we need to get her moved- preferably up north! Sweet girl would love a family of her own! She would love to hike and go on adventures with you and follow up with snuggles! She’s fully vetted, spayed, and current on monthly preventatives! Happy to work with a foster/adopter at Shaylah's Canine Commands, LLC on some obedience! She’s a really great girl and very happy! No problem behaviors to note. Thankful to have made it out of BARC, a high kill shelter in Houston. Thanks to Amber Schroeder for meeting her and letting us know about her! 💜🐾
