Meet Stormy, a sweet and gentle girl who is just beside herself about being abandoned at the shelter. Despite her shy and mellow nature, Stormy has a sweet disposition behind her sad eyes. She may seem a bit shut down and scared at first, but with a little patience and a lot of love, we know her personality will blossom! Adopting Stormy means giving her a chance to flourish in a loving home where she can feel safe and cherished as she deserves. Her calm demeanor makes her the perfect companion for quiet evenings and peaceful walks - and she already walks nicely on a leash to boot!

Story
Angel is a 2-year-old, 7-pound white and cream Pomeranian with a soft, gentle personality and an easygoing nature. She can be a little timid when meeting new people, but she settles in quickly and forms trusting bonds with those around her. Angel is a quiet, low-drama girl who enjoys the comforts of home and appreciates a predictable routine. She is kennel trained, pee pad trained, and is currently learning to potty outside as well. She doesn't particularly love wearing a harness or leash, but she tolerates them and continues to make progress with gentle encouragement. She rides beautifully in the car and has an overall calm demeanor that makes her very easy to live with. Angel is the type of companion who doesn't ask for much—just a loving home, a cozy place to nap, and someone to cherish her. Angel has a Grade 2/6 heart murmur that is not currently causing her any problems. It does not require medication or treatment at this time and simply should be monitored during routine veterinary visits. She has no patellar issues and is fully vetted, including a full exam, spay, dental, vaccinations, deworming, fecal testing, and she is current on monthly heartworm and flea prevention. Angel is located in College Station, TX, and her adoption fee is $650. Apply to adopt at www.tpsrescue.com

Story
Say hello to Annie! This sweet girl has found herself back in a shelter after being discovered alongside her brother, Angus, despite the two having previously been adopted together from a Houston-area shelter. Unfortunately, we've been unable to reach the registered owner, so now she's looking for a fresh start and a family who will love her forever. If happiness had four legs, it would look a lot like this Annie! She lives for the simple joys in life: rolling around in the grass, chasing after her favorite ball, and cooling off with a splash in the pool. In fact, she's so dedicated to her ball game that she'll toss it into the air herself just to keep the fun going! She's playful, cheerful, and always ready to make the most of her day. Whether she's entertaining herself with a toy, soaking up the sunshine, or showing off her silly side, this girl has a way of bringing smiles wherever she goes. Now all she needs is a home to call her own—a place where she can continue chasing balls, splashing in the water, and making happy memories with a family who won't let her down. Could that family be yours?

Story
Hi, I'm Buttercup! 🐾 I'm a spunky 6-month-old tan mixed breed with Pinscher and Doberman heritage, and I'm already spayed and ready to go. It's inconceivable that I will spend much more of my puppyhood in the shelter. Why? Because I'm a sweet, playful girl who loves adventures and making friends along the way!

Story
Meet our short-legged charmer, Kilo! This adorable little guy may have short legs, but his heart is absolutely enormous. He was adopted from the shelter back in 2022 and recently found himself back with us through no fault of his own. He's returned looking a little worse for the wear, but if you ask him, there's still plenty to be happy about—and his cheerful spirit is proof! One of his favorite things in the world is people. Whether you're meeting him for the first time or sitting down to spend a few quiet minutes together, he's all in for the attention. And if you happen to discover that perfect scritch spot? Get ready for the cutest surprise: his tiny teeth start chattering with pure happiness! It's his own special way of saying, "Don't stop!" He's also an inquisitive little fellow who's curious about the world around him. Cats definitely catch his attention, and he'd enjoy a thoughtful introduction if he'll be sharing a home with one. More than anything, this sweet pup is ready for a fresh start. He's already known what it's like to have a family, and now he's hoping someone will give him the chance to experience that love again—this time forever. If you're looking for a loyal companion with a big personality, a heart full of optimism, and the most endearing happy chatter you've ever heard, this little guy is waiting to meet you!
