Edinburg, TX
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
We picked him up off the street; he came over and crawled under my patio chair. He was tiny and absolutely emaciated. Out of compassion, we took him in and cared for him; now he is a handsome dog—and very, very playful. We did some research, and it turns out he appears to be a purebred Carolina Dog. However, he keeps jumping over my fence, and I’m afraid he might hurt or frighten someone. Raising the fence would be a major undertaking for me, and it breaks my heart because he is such an affectionate dog.Now Dingo—that’s his name—needs someone with energy to match his own. He is a protective dog, but not aggressive; my husband and I are getting on in years and can no longer keep up with his energy, but he is beautiful and xxxx@xxxx.x just needs time, because he is very smart and obedient; however, his energy gets the better of him, and he requires a great deal of physical activity—whereas we, with some effort, are barely able to maintain a normal life for our age.

Story
This husky has been abandoned on December 24, 2025 in Edinburg, TexasKeero is a 5-year-old male husky - calm, gently, delicate and very well-mannered. I fostered him for several weeks from January through the end of March, and during that time he adapted beautifully to our home. He did well with our dog, the neighbor dog (on the picture) and children.He is neutered and fully vaccinated (distemper and rabies). He is a wonderful companion who truly deserves stability and kindness. His new owners contacted me before Easter, only 2 weeks after having adopted him, to tell me they don't want him anymore because of his "big" size. Please contact me if interested. I would be happy to provide any additional detailsI am hoping to find him a stable and loving home.

Tiff

Shepherd (Unknown Type)

Female, 4 yrs 4 mos
Edinburg, TX
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Tiff is a young shepherd that has been in a home previously, so she was quiet and shy when first coming in. She may take a little time to warm up, but once she trusts you, you'll see her sweet and loving nature shine through. Tiff absolutely adores treats! Her eyes light up at the sight of a tasty snack, making it the perfect way to win her over and build a connection. She also can get the zoomies after being in a kennel for so long, but she's still very dainty with her demeanor, being too scared to even jump on you for a hug. Tiff is waiting for her forever home that won't give up on her again, so if you're interested please stop by PVAS!
