Story
BREED-Rat Terrier Mix; SEX-Male; SIZE-Small; WEIGHT-13 lbs.; AGE-Approximately 4 Years; SPAY/NEUTER-Yes; HOUSETRAINED-Currently Uses Doggie Door; GOOD WITH KIDS-Yes; GOOD WITH DOGS-Yes; GOOD WITH CATS-Unknown; HISTORY-Rescued From A Local Shelter; ADOPTION FEE-$250   Gus is truly one of the sweetest dogs you’ll ever meet. He has a calm, easygoing nature, and his idea of a perfect day is simply being close to his person—curled up in your lap or resting quietly by your side. Gus greets everyone with joy and genuine happiness, and his gentle presence has a way of making you feel instantly loved. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs and warmly welcomes new fosters into his home with a kind and patient spirit. Gus does have an autoimmune condition that causes some crusting around his eyes and the sides of his mouth. This means he will need a little extra daily care, including gently cleaning his eyes and mouth with a warm cloth, as well as taking daily medication. The medication is quite manageable, with an average monthly cost of about $20. With this simple routine, Gus remains comfortable and continues to thrive. If you’re looking for a truly special dog—one who will return your love with endless affection and quiet companionship—Gus may be the perfect match for you.March 7, 2026, 2:41 pm

Story
Vogue is a 10-month-old boy who recently joined Texas Husky Rescue. We're still getting to know this pup and learning about his personality, preferences, and needs. Vogue is looking for either a foster home or a forever home. Fostering gives us valuable information about his personality and helps him decompress from his previous situation. It also helps us make the best possible match when the right adopter comes along. If you're interested in fostering or adopting Vogue and helping us learn more about this special pup, we'd love to hear from you! June 11, 2026, 12:57 pm

Story
Harper is a loving, loyal companion who adores being close to her favorite person—she’s a true Velcro dog through and through. Around the house, she’s incredibly sweet, well-mannered, and easy to have around. She’s both house and crate trained, making her a wonderful addition to any home. Harper is good with kids and enjoys being part of family life. She’s currently working on her leash skills and has shown she loves to run alongside a scooter—perfect for an active household that enjoys outdoor fun. When it comes to other dogs, Harper can be protective of her chosen human and may growl or snap to guard them. However, she responds well to correction and settles quickly, especially if the other dog is calm or submissive. With clear guidance and structure, she does beautifully. Harper’s affectionate nature and eagerness to please make her a devoted companion ready to bring love, loyalty, and a little adventure to her forever home.
