Story

"What did the cricket say to the squirrel??" How would we know?? Cricket's don't TALK!! Ok, now that we have broken the ice, let me tell you all about me :) I am a strong survivor. I came from the most DISMAL situation you can imagine.... born to an unwanted mother, sickly and sad, I was dumped with her as well as one of our sisters dead bodies, like we had no meaning in this world... BUT, LOVE WON OUT!!! I was seen by a kind woman who reached out to another kind woman who reached out to a rescuer in San Antonio- 5 hours away!!! AND we were SAVED! So how is that for a rags to riches story?? It is MY story. I am a happy girl now, I have come SO FAR from the scared, skinny, starving, mangy pup I was, but I haven't reached the finish line YET!! That's where you come in... I am ready for my forever family. We are going to be a little picky, if you don't mind. I prefer a home, with heat and ac, with food and with LOVE. Older kids would be great, I can still be a little nervous with new people (who can blame me?) and I would love another calm, confident dog to help me with my energy. So, if that sounds like your home, APPLY TO ADOPT ME!!! You will not only finish my story with a huge happy ending chapter, you will be encouraging all of the kind women who took the time and energy and love that was needed to get me safe and to wonderful families!!! ADOPT.... DON'T SHOP!!! OUR LIVES DEPEND ON IT!!! Local adoption fee is $250 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $500 (includes transport to your area, $50 temporary fuel fee will be included)

Story

🐾 Meet Snuffleupagus – A Gentle Giant with a Heart of Gold 🐾 Nickname: Snuffy Weight: ~90 lbs Breed: Lovebug Extraordinaire Looking for a loyal shadow with four legs and a whole lot of snore? Meet Snuffleupagus, or Snuffy to his friends (which is everyone he meets!). At approximately 90 pounds, this big-hearted boy is packed full of love, affection, and just a sprinkle of clingy charm. If you're the kind of person who never wants to go to the bathroom alone again—Snuffy is your guy. Snuffy is a world-class cuddler with zero concept of his size—he’ll climb right into your lap if you let him, and even if you don’t. He just wants to be close to his person, and will follow you wherever you go. Expect slow tail wags, big soulful eyes, and full-body lean-ins when he wants some love (which is often). He is crate trained but does not like being confined. He will politely go to the door when he needs to go outside, but you must do your part to let him out. He’s also a gentle house guest who respects his space—unless his snoring counts as property damage. Because oh boy, Snuffy snores like a freight train coming through a tunnel… with no brakes… and maybe a tuba. Due to some ongoing medical issues, Snuffy will need a family who’s committed to his health and well-being. He’ll require special attention and veterinary support, but in return, he’ll give you unmatched loyalty and the kind of love that fills a room. Important note: Snuffy is NOT built for heat. Anything above 80° and he’s ready to melt. He must be kept indoors in a cool, climate-controlled environment. Think of him as a furry air conditioner who likes you more than summer. he does enjoy long leisurely walks around the yard stopping to smell each and everything he possibly can. He does seem hard of hearing, but will come running once you catch his eye. Snuffy is a once-in-a-lifetime companion for a laid-back home with humans who appreciate a velcro dog with a gentle soul. If you're looking for a lovable lug who lives for your presence and will make you laugh every single day, Snuffy is waiting—with big dreams and even bigger snores. Adopt Snuffleupagus and make your heart his favorite nap spot. 💛 Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Lola is my name. I love all and want to be friends with everyone. I am mischievous and will get into trouble just for the attention. I am still very young and eager to explore new things. I want a loving family who will take me on adventures, then love on me while winding down. I don't like it when you focus on other dogs and sometimes I push them out of the way so I can be the center of attention! I have the sweetest face and my "love to be with you" attitude is the best kind to have! I am a medium sized girl and that makes me super PORTABLE! Take me with you to the beach, the mountains, the BATHROOM... I don't care where we go, as long as you take me with you!! I'm a energetic and driven girl with a strong prey drive, particularly chickens, birds, small animals and cats. I'll need a home without these types of pets to ensure everyone's safety. Local adoption fee is $250 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $500 (includes transport to your area - $50 Temporary Fuel Charge will be added)
