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
Say hello to the lovely Luna! Through no fault of her own, this blue-eyed girl is searching for a new family after her beloved owner reached a point where they could no longer care for her. It's a heartbreaking change for everyone involved, but Luna is taking it all in stride, hoping someone will open their heart to a dog who has so much love left to give. Luna is, in many ways, the world's most un-husky husky. She's surprisingly quiet, prefers soaking up affection over causing mischief, and would much rather be curled up beside her favorite person than entertaining herself with toys. If you want a shadow who will faithfully follow you from room to room, Luna is happy to apply for the position. She's lived peacefully with another dog for most of her life and gets along well with other pups. She also shares her home with two cats, whom she politely ignores. She's also wonderful with children, making her an easy fit for many families. Luna comes with all the good-housemate credentials, too: she's house trained, crate trained, and a superstar at the groomer's! She absolutely loves car rides and has perfected the art of being the ultimate passenger princess. Whether you're running errands or heading out on an adventure, she'll happily claim the co-pilot seat. Luna can get a little enthusiastic on her daily walks, so she does best wearing a harness to help keep her comfortable and under control. And while she's a perfect lady indoors, she's been known to test the security of a backyard fence, so she'll need a watchful family who understands her occasional escape-artist tendencies (as any seasoned husky owner knows). What Luna wants more than anything isn't a basket full of toys or endless excitement. She wants a person to love. If you're looking for a loyal, gentle companion with a heart as beautiful as her icy blue eyes, Luna is waiting to show you that sometimes the best husky is the one who writes her own rules.

Story
Hershel is a 3-year-old, 7-pound sable Pomeranian with a gentle personality and a quiet, easygoing nature. He’s a little overweight at the moment and is working toward a healthier weight of about 5 pounds. When he first came into rescue, his coat had some thinning, but with proper nutrition and care, his beautiful sable coat is already growing back in nicely. His thyroid was tested and is completely normal. Hershel can be a bit timid when meeting new people, but he warms up quickly once he realizes he's safe. He has a calm, reserved personality and is the kind of dog who prefers a peaceful environment over constant excitement. Once he settles in, he's a sweet little companion who enjoys being close to his people without demanding attention. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs and would fit in well with a canine companion, though he'd also be happy soaking up the attention as an only dog. He has not been formally tested with cats, but based on his gentle temperament, we believe he would do well. He also doesn't mind respectful, polite children. Hershel rides well in the car and is currently learning to walk on a harness and leash. He continues to gain confidence every day and would do well with a family willing to encourage him as he adjusts to his new home. Hershel is fully vetted, including a full exam, neuter, dental, vaccinations, microchip, deworming, and fecal testing. He is current on monthly heartworm and flea prevention. Hershel is located in Houston, TX, and his adoption fee is $650. Apply to adopt at www.tpsrescue.com

Story
Meet Marina! You'd think a girl found sprinting down the beach, caked in mud and sand, would be a water lover... but Marina would like to clear up that misunderstanding immediately. The beach? Fantastic. Running? Even better. Baths? Absolutely not! This gorgeous husky mix has the most striking icy blue eyes you've ever seen, and they're always scanning the horizon for her next adventure. Marina isn't one to entertain herself with squeaky toys or tennis balls—she'd much rather stretch her legs, explore new places, and soak up the world around her. Shelter life has been especially hard on this free spirit. Being confined isn't Marina's style, and she's ready to trade her kennel for hiking trails, neighborhood walks, big backyards, and an active family who understands that happiness sometimes comes with a little dirt on your paws. The way to Marina's heart? Treats! She already knows how to sit politely when snacks are involved, proving she's got both brains and good manners (when properly compensated, of course). If you're looking for a beautiful, adventurous companion who would rather chase the sunset than a tennis ball, Marina is ready to leave her beach bum days behind and make waves in her forever home!

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
