Story
Benji is truly a unique one a kind boy. He has a lot of feelings and he doesn’t quite know how to express them. He’s very sensitive. Benji is beyond goofy, he loves to run around and play. He can take rough housing a little too far but it’s only because he gets very excited. He doesn’t quite realize his size. He gets the zoomies often. The boy loves food. He will eat anything. However. He becomes territorial with food. He needs to be fed behind a baby gate or in a separate room. He knows this and is very easily trained. He would do best with a large backyard or active family. And larger dogs on the gentle side. -Potty trained; will alert when he needs to go outside. -Comes with harnesses, a leash, clothes, toys, bed, crate, and slow feeder. He has bitten me. And snapped at my cats. Aggression issues w/ territory, food, and when he’s sleeping. Please be patient with him. And respect his boundaries. He is an amazing dog he deserves the world.

Story
My brother recently lost his job and is unable to take care of Roux anymore. I am currently taking care of her but I have two dogs of my own so cannot keep Roux forever. She gets along and plays a lot with my medium sized dog but chases my small dog so I have to keep those two separated. Roux is a big goofy girl. She's about 6-7 months old and has a beautiful brindle coat. Very sweet girl, loves belly rubs and playing tug of war. She's pretty chill most of the time. Of course has the general puppy issues of wanting to chew on everything and doesn't understand how big she is sometimes. Up to date on shots, but hasn't gone into heat yet so not spayed. She knows the basic "sit" and "down" commands. Still working on fully potty training but knows to use a puppy pad inside. She's pretty good with walking on a leash as well. I don't recommend households with small children or small dogs.

Toby

Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier

Round Rock, TX
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with kids, Needs experienced adopter,
Story
I had actually received Toby as a gift in 2022 . He was very quiet and didnt start barking until about 4 months into having him into my care . As far as his personality goes though , he is still very much shy but loves consistent company to attach to. He will eventually get to the point where if you close your door and he wants to hangout with you , he will sit against your door to let you know he’s waiting. He also does not sleep on his bed much as he prefers an article of clothing such as a sock for some reason . I was never able to find a solution and Im sure it was just because I was not an experienced animal care taker but he has some condition where he tends to leave the smallest pee puddles instead of just going pee at once when he goes outside . For that , we had to put him in diapers to avoid any leaks he may have tried leaving around the house . He loves to be in your space but may be over dramatic at times so dont get too startled when he yelps as if you stepped on him.

Story
He’s 2 years old and we adopted him through a Facebook page. He’s full of love, very playful, and great with kids. He’s not aggressive, but he is protective of his family, making him a loyal and caring companion. We’re hoping to find him a home where he’ll have space to run, play, and enjoy himself as he deserves. Most importantly, we want him to receive all the love and care he needs.
