Story
Snow White is a sweet senior gal with a gentle soul and a beautiful story. In 2025, she gave birth to one precious puppy, and since then she’s settled into the role she was clearly born for—being cherished and loved. Her soulmate is Daddy Morty, and these two are truly inseparable. They are a bonded, 2-for-1 pair and will be adopted together. Like Morty, Snow White adores belly rubs and is perfectly happy being cradled like a baby, soaking up every bit of affection you’re willing to give. While she may be an old gal, Snow White still has so much love, joy, and laughter left to share. She’s the kind of dog who makes a house feel warmer and hearts feel fuller just by being there. If you’re ready for a meet and greet, kick off the process with an application at www.flyingbrescue.org/adopt. Our application is thorough but there are no right or wrong answers - we just want to make sure you and the pet are the perfect match. Once we receive your application, we will schedule a phone interview. Our adoptions include a 2-week trial period with fully refundable adoption fees during that period. If you are located outside of Texas, we offer transportation services and have happy families as references. We value transparency, so don’t be afraid to ask us anything.

Story
Reba may look like a chunky little couch potato, but she’s really a big-hearted survivor. After a rough start to life raising puppies in a junkyard, she’s traded rust and scraps for soft beds and full bowls—and she couldn’t be happier. This lovable “house hippo” is all about being close to her people, whether that’s keeping you company indoors or following you into the yard. She’s weaned her babies now, but she still likes to stay near and soak up the comfort she’s found. Reba enjoys easygoing pack walks, belly rubs, and simply being part of your daily life. She’s ready to be someone’s loyal shadow, constant companion, and snuggle buddy for life.

Story
Say HI to Old Man Morty! Morty is a happy little guy who loves nothing more than curling up in your lap, demanding love, cuddles, and belly rubs—preferably while being cradled like the baby he believes he is. He’s not perfect—he’s got a bum eye—but that just adds to his charm. Morty is part of our Senior Sanctuary and is bonded to his best girl, Snow White. These two are a package deal and will be adopted together. While he’s safe with us, Morty would love nothing more than a home of his own to spend his golden years, right alongside the one he loves most. Adoption fees for bonded dogs are 2-for-1. If you’re ready for a meet and greet, kick off the process with an application at www.flyingbrescue.org/adopt. Our application is thorough but there are no right or wrong answers - we just want to make sure you and the pet are the perfect match. Once we receive your application, we will schedule a phone interview. Our adoptions include a 2-week trial period with fully refundable adoption fees during that period. If you are located outside of Texas, we offer transportation services and have happy families as references. We value transparency, so don’t be afraid to ask us anything.

Story
Meet Bucko Boxer Mix | Gentle Soul | Certified Good Boy Bucko is the kind of dog who makes friends wherever he goes. He’s a calm, sweet-natured guy who’s earned his spot as an official member of our Welcome Wagon—he’s just that good with other dogs. Dog-neutral, easygoing, and always up for a good butt scratch, Bucko is especially fond of the ladies but welcomes love from anyone kind enough to give it. He’s great on a leash, crate trained, house-mannered, fully vetted, and plays well with others. Bucko’s Story: We first met Bucko in August 2024 after a kind stranger found him injured. We got him vet care, but sadly, his owner refused to surrender him. Fast forward to January 2025—Bucko was picked up again, this time chained behind an abandoned house. His microchip brought him right back to us. Now he’s back, safe, and finally ready to find the forever family he’s always deserved.
