Story
Nookie was rescued from Tucson, AZ and is estimated to be around 5 years old. He loves food, playing tug, being chased, sun bathing, and cuddling with pillows and blankets. He loves going to dog parks and going for walks. He is an average energy dog. Nookie is housebroken, kennel-trained, and knows many commands like: sit, lay down, backup, speak, "I love you," paw, wait, bed, excuse me, get out, up, off, etc. Nookie is a very independent dog and keeps to himself. He only likes to cuddle the people he knows. He has a hard time around kids, strangers on leash, groomers, and vets. Nookie would do best in an adult only home where he gets regular walks and would do well with another dog in the home. He needs a new home by April 1st due to moving otherwise he will have to surrendered to a shelter.

Story
Khalid is an active European Doberman Pinscher. Amazing hiking and marathon partner if you an outdoor person! He also loves yoga stretches if you're an indoor person. He is a very friendly dog that enjoys playing with other dogs and animals. He is a sucker for fruits (Tomatoes and Watermelons are his favorite) and has a weird obsession for ice cubes. He is very obedient and an emotionally intelligent dog. He is also very expressive; so be ready to listen to growls and barks when youre not listening to him.

Story
Sal is a 2 year old Great Pyrenees. He was born on our farm and currently lives with his mom Izzy. His dad Barkley passed away about 6 months ago. He has lived his whole life outdoors caring for our sheep. He and his mom are great livestock guardian dogs. We have not lost a sheep to coyotes since they have been on guard duty. Due to financial and health reasons we have gotten out of the sheep business, so they no longer have any sheep to guard. Sal is great with other dogs, cats and our 8 young grand children who live on our farm. If you would like, you may take both Izzy and Sal.

Story
Luna (as we've been calling her) showed up to our house on 3/9/25. We brought her in, gave her a bath and kept her overnight until we could get her scanned for a chip the next morning. With no chip, we've been holding onto her, but are unfortunately moving soon and can't keep her. She is the most mellow, loving dog you may possibly ever meet. She gives the best hugs. She's been great with our other dog and two toddlers. The only time we've seen her the slightest bothered is when our other dog had a toy. She has not had an accident in our house and has already learned to use the doggy door. We think she would do well in a quiet home where she can get lots of love and she needs to be able to sleep on the bed with you :) We did take her to get her rabies, DHPP and Bordetella vaccines just in case. She also is now on flea/tick and heart worm prevention medication. She does have some skin dryness and itchiness that we've been working on addressing, but nothing too serious. She's a lover!

Story
We have been fostering Oreo since February 2025 when we found her as a stray near our home. Since our current dog is fragile and small (under 15lbs), we are in the process of seriously looking for Oreos forever home. She (ideally) needs to be with a loving family who has other large dogs, where she can expend her energy and develop companionship. This sweet girl desires connection, affection and love! Her background info: *Pit mix *Female *Estimated 1.5 years old *Found as a stray and rescued in Austin, Texas *All vaccines up to date *Spayed *Microchipped *Currently potty training and responding well *Socialized and friendly with other dogs *Loves to cuddle and spend time with her humans Logistically, we live in Austin Texas but ultimately just want a healthy, happy and loving home for this girl. We are happy to meet up half way if its for the right family match. Please reach out with any questions!

Story
Mello was given to me as a pet at only 6 months old. His DOB is 12-6-23. He plays good with family pets and kids. He barks while walking or outside. He also barks when someone knocks or if you are his owner and someone tries to go to your room.Does not to be in his kennel but will stay there. When excited he does peep on people. Loves running outside at dog park and he loves his chew toys. His only behavior problem is that he barks a lot and understands no but still will barks when you step away. He is more kelpie so needs a back yard. Cannot give him the time he needs due to work and living in an apartment. At the time of getting him, we where in a home with a back yard.
