Daisy mea

German Shorthaired Pointer

Female, Puppy

Athens, TX

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter,

Story

Daisy is a 1-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer with endless love and energy. She is incredibly affectionate and loves being held, cuddling under the covers, and throwing her whole body on you while you relax. She is curious about everything, loves to explore, and has a natural instinct for hunting and chasing, so a home without small animals would be best. Daisy is very bonded to Duke and must be adopted with him. She follows his lead and becomes distressed when separated from him. Like Duke, she can be wary of strangers and is fearful of men due to past experiences. She responds best to positive reinforcement and treats and simply wants love and reassurance. Playful, silly, and devoted, Daisy is looking for a patient family that will welcome both her and Duke and give them the companionship and affection they deserve.

Maple

Olde English Bulldogge

Female, Adult

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

We adopted Maple a year ago from the Athens animal shelter. She loves kids, loves to snuggle, has loads of energy, and loves to play. However, she gets aggressive with our other dog when food or play is involved. They get along fine otherwise. I believe it is a jealously issue. We have been working with her for a year now and im finally having to make a tough decision. We love Maple but I cannot have her continously attacking my other dog whenever we pet or play. She needs a single dog home and would thrive there.

Trigger

German Shepherd Dog

Female, Young

Athens, TX

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Trigger! 🐾 Trigger is a loyal, affectionate German Shepherd mix we rescued at 9 months old. Once she trusts you, she’s goofy, loving, and enjoys pig ears, cheese, and bell peppers. She is house trained, crate trained, knows sit and lay down, and has decent recall (but still needs work, especially around squirrels and other dogs). Trigger has struggled with resource guarding since we adopted her and needs an experienced owner who understands dog behavior and will continue working with her using positive reinforcement. She must be the only pet and is not suited for a home with children. She is cautious around strangers, especially men, though some men have earned her trust with slow introductions. A meet-and-greet is required. Her ideal home is a calm, adult-only home with someone who will give her patience, structure, and lots of love. Finding the right home is far more important to us than finding the fastest one.

Blade

Mixed Breed (Medium) Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, Young

Trinidad, TX

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Blade is a 2 1/2 year old lab mix. He is full of energy and always looking to play. He needs more attention than we are able to provide him with our busy schedules. He is neutered and caught up on shots. We are looking to move sometime in late spring or early summer and since he is 40 lb, he is too big for all the places we have found so far. He has lived with another dog his whole life, he is used to small/med dogs. He loves going on walks, and enjoys playing fetch. Blade plays with smaller children fairly well, he just gets a bit to excited at times and can knocked them over. Blade is house trained but prefers to be out doors more than anything. He is very lovable. He can be quiet when he wants to be. He loves treats especially when he does what is asked of him. Other than that he is a very loving dog and he would make anyone love him as well. He has a crate, leash, collar, some toys and food bowl and a whole bag of dog food that will be going with him.
