Story
Hi. We've lived in the Hill Country for the past 8 years, and every year, abandoned dogs find their way to our home—wounded, scared, and exposed to predators like coyotes, hawks, and wild cats. From the beginning, we’ve opened our hearts and protected many. This November, 5 more arrived. We’ve done our best, but we can’t keep them all—we’ve already adopted two. This sweet girl came recently. The vet says she’s about 1 and half year old and was already SPAYED. She’s deeply affectionate, loyal, and simply wants love and safety. If something in your heart feels ready, this is a beautiful chance to give her the home she deserves.. We can meet halfway if needed. Thank you for helping us give this loving soul a second chance! ❤️

Story
Meet Granger a roughly 4 to 5 year big ball of love. We adopted him a couple years ago from a shelter but life has just gotten away from us and he needs more time and love then we are able to provide him. He’s big strong boy who’s favorite past time is snuggling on the couch or going for long walks. He definitely needs some training on walks and will go on running adventures if he gets out so making sure he is secure is a must. He absolutely loves children is a wonderful family dog. He lives in a home with other dogs but with any dog introduction slowly is very important. He will not do well with cats. He has no known health issues and is a big solid boy. He will need a strong handler for walking. Please help us find this sweet boy the home he deserves.

Story
Clara was born November 19th, 2025. She is ready for her forever home. Clara is a very gentle, polite, and easygoing puppy. She is always excited to see a new face and loves everybody she meets! She is new to this world so she needs lots of love and positive training. She has started potty training using a crate but has never been outside to potty or anything else. She has had her first shots. She's tested negative for worms but was given dewormer anyway as a precaution. We are looking for experienced dog owners, are able to stay/work at home, will not be leaving the puppy more than an hour at a time, have a fenced yard, puppy proof home, other pets must able to handle a new puppy, must be spayed neutered, no elderly pets in home. Clara must be a part of the family. You must have proof of residence, resources such as a crate/pen/toys, dog groomer and veterinarian. Clara must be spayed, vaccinations kept up to date and loved! No breeding.
