Story
Meet Stella! This sweet girl was found wandering around an apartment complex in Lewisville almost 2 months ago. She was found with nothing but a collar. We posted her on multiple platforms to find her owners but didn’t end up finding them. Me and my family have been fostering her since. She is now up to date on vaccines. She was a bit underweight when she came to us but we think it was from the lack of food from running around on her own. Other than that she is in great health. The vet thinks she is around one year old. She was already house broken and is now crate trained. She was ok with our other dogs for a bit but we think she would thrive the most in a home where there are no there are no other dogs. I don’t have enough room here to elaborate more so please message me for more info about this! She is great with children and likes to meet new people. She LOVES attention and will just crawl right up into your lap. She also loves to snuggle and bath time is her favorite!

Story
Honey is a year and a half old yellow lab mix. She is around 50lbs and is full grown. Her ears are almost like a sharpei type breed ears along with her curly half tail. Her golden eyes will mesmerize you. Honey was found as an abandoned stray with another puppy. She is housebroken, walks great on a leash, and loves to cuddle and give kisses. She loves everyone she meets. Honey knows how to sit and catch a treat. She is looking for a loving home to dote on her unique features and tell her how beautiful she is. Honey is learning how to explore her world around her and has taken an interest in sneaking to play with her toys when her foster family is not looking. Honey will sleep with her person all through the night and enjoys naps by the window.

Story
WE MUST TALK ABOUT BRUNO! Bruno is a large lab/hound mixed breed around 75 lbs. He is 3 years old. Bruno was surrendered to a local shelter from a sad situation, but he is ready to put the past behind him and find his forever home. Poor Bruno was the only dog but lived with several cats and came from a hoarding case. He is housebroken, gets along well with dogs, cats, and kids. He loves to explore his new surroundings and thinks everything is his toy. He is doing well leash training and loves to be outside walking or playing. Bruno is a strong guy. He needs a fenced in yard or someone who can handle his strength. He needs a family to allow him to continue training and exercises him regularly. Due to Bruno's past, you would think he would have some trust issues with humans, but he loves everyone he meets instead. He wants to show you how much he loves you by tackling you sometimes without meaning to. He's a big goofball and doesn't know his size. In Bruno's heart, soul, and mind, he identifies as a Shitzu. He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, and heartworm negative. If you're interested in adopting Bruno, please visit our website at hsdavie.org/dogs and complete an adoption application.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Paul is a handsome one year old boy, with a beautiful brindle coat, looking to find his furever home! Paul found himself at the local shelter where he spent 200 days, injured and without a home. He has since recovered from his injuries and is making up for lost time. He has tons of puppy energy but is a loving cuddle bug when he's not running around. His foster family says that Paul is crate and house trained but pulls like a tugboat on the leash. He will need to go to a home who have the time and patience to teach him leash manners. They also say Paul is smart, trainable and seems to have a strong desire to please his people. He would do best in a home with dogs his size and older children. Paul is move in ready and would love to find his people. If you are interested in meeting Paul, please visit hsdavie.org/dogs and click on his picture for an application.

Story
I am the goodest boy. I love all people. I love other dogs and cats. I walk good on a leash but I am pretty strong. I’m a hound dog with my nose to the ground but not a hunter. My last people didn’t care about me. They made me hungry all the time and they let me get heartworms. My rescue people love me. They have my heartworms treated and my belly is never empty. I don’t have to be outside in the heat, rain and cold. My angels were sent for me. They tell me my Furever Angel will come along shortly. Until then I’m living the bestest life.

Story
Annabelle is special needs as she requires the use of a wheelchair. She just recently lost the use of her back legs due arthritis in her long back.I am a sweet 5 yr old girl. I am a very sweet special needs little girl. I have arthritis in my back that has caused me to loose the use of my back legs. I have recently transitioned into a wheelchair where I can really get my groove on. I can race around the yard as fast as my foster siblings can on 4 feet. My wheels are really fast. My foster mom calls me her shadow. I follow her everywhere and love lap snuggles. My favorite place to sleep is under the blankets snuggled as close as I can get to my person.I have a favorite blanket that I like to suckle and nibble on. I am vocal but not as bad as most of my relatives usually are, I’m more of an alert system. I’m completely house trained and will let you know when I need to go out. I’m great with all dogs and cats but prefer not to share my persons lap although I will tolerate it if I have to. To apply for me please visit STFFAR. Org for an online application. November 5, 2024, 4:51 pm
