Story
My wife found DJ at an outreach event. He was drawn to her and stayed close to her majority of the event. Nobody claimed him. Nobody had any idea of potential owner. Without 2nd thought, she couldnt leave him there and brought him home. This was mid October 2025. We took him for de-worming and shots. Vet said he was three months old back then (7mo old now). DJ is athletic and playful. Loves people and children but because he can be too playful, younger children should be advised; not that hes aggressive, just playful. House trained. He communicates when its time to go outside. Very trainable and intelligent. As he is maturing the playfulness is calming down and hes become abit more enjoyable on the couch. He is cage trained. Sleeps overnight in cage without fuss, same with leaving for work. Its only because of our lease and cost of care that we need to re-home him urgently, otherwise... this is not easy. Will give all the supplies with DJ: cage, toys, towels and remaining food.

Story
Toby has been with us since he was a pup. He has enjoyed our family, both our four legged and two legged one. He has endured the loss of one of his siblings, not blood related, and has to deal with that loss. He has siblings that has been his best friend since he has been here. The play together, sleep next to each other, and stay under me. My health has been declining and I have not been able to get them out to get the much needed exercise. Toby is 2 1/2 yrs old. He is energetic and needs that outdoors play time. I am not able to offer that to him because I don't have a gated yard and my limitations don't let me get out the house often. He is very lovable and has a lot of love to give. He would be a nice family dog to a good home.

Story
Yuno is a sweet boy. At 1 year old, he is playful, curious, cuddly, and needs a home that can provide that. He is very energetic and does like to play. I believe a home with kids or someone who has a lot of energy to spend with this puppy will make all the difference. He is food motivated and with the right family who can train him with consistency, will see he loves to learn. He is neutered and chipped. I am looking for a home he will thrive in and be loved. He is also crate trained. I do need to find him a home soon. My older dog has health issues and I do as well. Please consider Yuno for your forever home.

Her name is Cleopatra, I acquired her from a liter my nephew & his wife had. She is 6 1/2 years old. She’s 100% house dog & a lap dog, she loves being held, she loves having her back scratched She’ll probably do better where she’s the only pet. She doesn’t care much for chicken or seafood. She does NOT like the dried kibble that’s in a bag. She has currently being eating Freshpet brand homestyle creations. (beef, chicken & turkey recipe in the dark brown bag in the pet refrigerated section of Walmart, Target, Petco, Albertsons) She also takes a daily allergy immune probiotic & a 8-in-1 multivitamin. In her new home, we would like Cleopatra to feel protected, safe & feel loved, She likes to go outside in a fenced in yard during the daytime to run around & play with her owner(s). She loves playing tug-of-war with her rope toys. She hates thunder & fireworks. Cleopatra is playful, friendly, loyal, stubborn & loving especially to her owner(s).

Story
Honey Mustard was born 11-14-25 and is full of energy. I want to transfer the microchip to the new owners name. I purchased the largest cage from Petsmart to crate train, and she is already trained in crate. I will give the cage, toys, dog bed, dog food the new owner. She needs a home with people that can give her lots of time and love. I consider her a mixed breed/ Not really sure of her breed traits. Honey loves laying in the grass and soaking up the sun. I believe Honey is a very smart puppy. She loves playing with her toys. Honey is very pretty. I call her Honey BooBoo more than Honey Mustard. I use the phrase "Honey, I'm Home"! If this puppy looks like a good fit for your happy home please consider adopting her. Thank you,

Story
✨Meet Sammy – the Spotted Bull Terrier Mix Looking for His Forever Home✨ Sammy’s story began when he and his 5 beautiful siblings were surrendered to the shelter with their mother at just 6 weeks old. DNA confirmed this special litter is half Bull Terrier, half Dalmatian – the perfect mix of smart, silly, and stunning. All of his siblings and even his mom found homes, but Sammy is still waiting. At 7 ½ months old, Sammy was returned for being “too much.” Like many puppies his age, he’s still learning his house manners and needs guidance, patience, and structure. What makes Sammy unique is that he is deaf – something his fosters discovered upon his return. But don’t let that fool you! Sammy is incredibly smart, quick to learn, and loves both people and other dogs. His mother, now in a forever home, has proven just how intelligent this line is – clever, curious, and always keeping her family on their toes! Sammy is a big, beautiful, spotted boy with a heart as sweet as they come. He just needs the right person or family who will give him the love, training, and consistency he deserves. 📍 Location: DFW area of Texas (transport available) ✂️ Sammy is not yet neutered, but the rescue will cover the procedure when the time comes. If you’re looking for a smart, loving, one-of-a-kind pup to add joy (and some mischief!) to your life, Sammy may be the perfect match. 💙 👉 Apply to adopt Sammy today and give him the forever home he’s been waiting for!
