Story
Olive is a ~2.5 year-old, medium-sized (around 58-60lbs) red brindle Boxer/Pit Bull mix with the sweetest, most loving personality. She’s incredibly loyal, affectionate, and happiest when she’s cuddled up next to her people, going for walks, playing fetch, riding along in the car, or sunbathing in the morning. She’s great with adults and kids and has never shown any aggression toward humans.**She MUST be the only dog in the home—no other dogs whatsoever.** She would do best with an active individual or family who can give her attention, structure, and space to run (a backyard is ideal). She’s perfectly fine staying home during the day (I worked in the office 3x a week) and was always great—never chewing furniture or destroying anything. We’ve invested about $1.7k into professional training, and she knows commands like sit, place, quiet, and come. She is crate trained, potty trained, and truly has so much love to give—she just needs the right environment to thrive.

Story
I got Missy from the shelter when she was a puppy. She is now around 1 year old (the shelter didn’t know her exact age) and she is a great dog. She listens very well and is a super quick learner. I have had her around kids, adults, dogs, and cats, she is great with all of them. She hasn’t shown any signs of aggression and really just wants to cuddle all the time. I want to find her a loving home that has more time then I do to give her the attention she deserves.

Story
Daisy is a young and bright terrier I adopted her les than a year ago, she was about 6 months old from a family that couldn’t keep her, I have 3 others dogs and she was not socialized before them she has come a long way and she enjoys playing with other dogs and loves the dog park, she still a bit skittish and doesn’t seem to like small kids, but does well with adults. I have a Great Pyrenees that’s is older and she seems to start to exhibits disliking behavior towards Daisy and it worries me that’s she would hurt her. I need to find her a good home she is very playful with other dogs and would be an excellent companion to another dog

Round Rock, TX
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Cailin is insanely people friendly, just absolutely loves attention. Sadly due to work I am not able to give her the attention she needs and deserves anymore. I have had her since she was 6 months old and she is about 5 years old now😔 I think she would greatly benefit being an only child because she does tend to play a little rough sometimes with other animals. She has never once shown aggression towards a person though and will cry if someone walks by without petting her. She's not a picky eater by any means, in fact last time she was weighed she was about 69 pounds.

Story
Hello! We need to rehome our lovely puggle, Britney. We have two small children under four, and we cannot keep up giving Britney the care she needs. She is very healthy. She is 12. Britney is great with children. She is very patient and sweet. She loves snuggles. She loves being social and around people. She loves walks. She loves spending time with humans. She needs to spend a lot of time with people. She is a people dog. She is naughty and will get into things if it is not dog-proofed. The more attention and work you put in, the better behaved she is. She is a very sweet, fun dog.
