Story
Missy is a foster fail from Animal Control, approximately 7 yrs old. I am moving to a senior apt and cannot take her. She shows facial scars from a rough life and xray showed an untreated pelvic fracture. She runs occasionally and jumps some but for the most part she likes to chill. We tried a round of antiinflamatory but her activity level did not change. She has helped another foster fail who is very anxious to learn more about being a dog. He was afraid to come indoors and now is much more comfortable. He will miss her but the apt size and my health will not allow both to come. I feel that Missy is more adaptable to change. She is fully house trained and has not been destructive with human belongings or futniture. She is quiet for the most part, occasionally barking to go outside. She is more quiet than curious when strangers are around. Her cot and bed will come along with her. She enjoys sharing an evening cookie and is most enthusiastic when it's time to go outside.

Story
Slink is a young, playful Bull Terrier with all the goofy charm and energy the breed is known for. At about 1 year old, she’s still very much a “big puppy” and can be a little exuberant while she learns her manners. She enjoys people and attention but is selective with other dogs, so she will do best as an only dog. Due to her enthusiasm, an older kids home is recommended. Slink will be ready for adoption after her upcoming spay. She would thrive in an active home that can provide structure, consistency, and continued training. She’s a fun, affectionate girl with tons of potential—just needs the right person to guide her. 📍 DFW Area (Alvarado, TX) 🚗 Transport available

Story
Darko is a 4-year-old Toy Yorkie Poodle with lots of energy and a very loving personality. He absolutely loves people and enjoys being around others. He currently lives with another dog, and they get along great. I have a busy schedule and travel often, so I’m looking for a loving family who can give Darko the time, attention, and companionship he deserves. He would do best in a home where he can stay active, receive plenty of love, and be part of the family. He is sweet, playful, energetic, and affectionate.
