This little darling minx is Snowflake. This dynamite butterfly is a handful of pure LOVE mixed with a can of Red Bull!!!!! She is so playful and excited about life. She is 1.5-2 yrs old, fully vetted, spayed and just waiting for that Awesome home. Snowflake is excellent with people and children, but does need to be the only dog in the home. She has been passed around and unfortunately not had a stable home, so she is searching for that perfect family that will have patience and give her a chance to show how much love she can shower on you. This little precious angel will make an excellent companion and forever friend. Please, open your heart, as she will hers, and give this exuberant, enthusiastic, ball of energy wrapped in heaps of unconditional love, a peek. She will melt your heart.

Hello, my name is Sterling, and I am one of nine puppies who were found in Celina. I'm so grateful to the kind people who took us in and helped us get healthy again. I'm now ready to find my forever home and start a new life. Just look at my adorable puppy face - aren't I just the cutest thing you've ever seen? I'm a young dog, so I have lots of energy and I love to play. I'm good with other dogs and I love making new doggy friends. I'm also a very loyal pup and will stick by your side. I'm an affectionate little guy and I love getting lots of pats and belly rubs - I bet I'll be your very best friend in no time! My ideal family would be someone who can give me lots of love, attention, and plenty of opportunities to run around and explore. I can't wait to meet you and start our adventures together! If you are interested in adopting Sterling, please get in touch with the adoption center to arrange a meeting. He can't wait to meet you!
