Abilene, TX
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Roscoe is the sweetest terrier mix gentleman with a calm, confident presence and a heart full of love. As a slightly older guy, he carries himself with easy grace and a relaxed, lower-energy style that makes him a joy to be around. He is wonderful with other dogs and has even stepped into a “helper” role during yard time, greeting and supporting other dogs with his steady, friendly nature. Roscoe is confident without being pushy, and he brings a soothing energy to any group he’s part of. Above all, Roscoe is a big fan of belly rubs and will happily soak up all the affection you’re willing to give. He’s truly an awesome dog looking for a loving home to enjoy his golden days in comfort and companionship.

Bella

Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, 6 yrs 2 mos
Abilene, TX

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Bella is a 6-year-old Pit Bull mix with a soft heart hiding behind a tough first impression. In her kennel, she can come across as a bit intimidating, but once she’s outside and given a moment to relax, her true sweet and gentle personality shines through. Bella is potty trained and enjoys a calm, predictable environment. She can be nervous around other dogs and would do best with a respectful, low-key canine companion—or as your one and only. Because of her sensitive nature, an adult-only home is preferred where she can feel safe and understood. With a little patience and kindness, Bella will reward you with unwavering love and loyalty.

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Sombra — a gentle shadow with the softest soul. True to his name, this sweet boy may quietly linger in the background at first, watching the world with shy, soulful eyes. Like a real-life Eeyore, Sombra is humble, tender-hearted, and wonderfully low-key. He loves chin scratches, gives the very best still-and-steady hugs, and quietly waits for someone kind enough to notice his beautiful heart. Sombra may be shy, but he’s the kind of sweet soul who deserves to be cherished—not overlooked.

Posie is a charming terrier mix with a black-and-white, cookies-and-cream coat, complete with the cutest black spots. She’s friendly, playful, and loves being around other dogs, especially her best friend Rosie. She is always ready for fun or a good hangout.

Hi, I'm Blue! 🐾 I'm a 2-year-old grey and white pit bull terrier and I'm already neutered and ready to join your family. I'm a confident guy who gets along great with dogs and kids, though cats aren't really my thing — I'd do best in a home without them. Come meet me and let's start our adventure together! 💙
