Story
Free to a great home. Boo is a American Staffordshire Terrier around 3 to 4 years old. We adopted her from the Waco Humane society a while back. She is spayed, and very sweet...but very enthusiastic and strong. Would not recommend with small children. Which we have a 4 year old and 9 year old and revolving kids that come and visit, when she gets excited she wants to play but she wants to rough house. She is also getting worse about getting along with other dogs she is very alpha and will hurt other dogs while playing, she needs to be an only dog. When we adopted her we brought our other dog with us, and everything went okay. As time has went on though she has gotten more and more rough. We now have to keep her completely separated from all other dogs now. She is a good girl but can not be around other animals.

Luna was previously named Molly when she was adopted in Dallas TX. Luna is great with other dogs but experiences aggression when eating as if she thinks she has to fight for her food. We don’t have the knowledge to train her to stop that.

Hi, I’m Smokey! 🐾 I’m a sweet, playful boy born on November 29th, and I’m 2 years old. I do really well with potty habits, but a little extra guidance helps me be my best. I’ve enjoyed both indoor and outdoor life, and now I’m looking for a loving home filled with attention, care, and cuddles. I’m ready to be your loyal, affectionate companion! 💛 Smokey is looking for his forever home!

Story
Adopt Fraiser! We love Fraiser! This boy is super sweet, happy, snuggly and just an all around great pup. He does well with all the dogs here, loves people but may be a little pesty for cats. He wants to please though so listens well to "leave it". Fraiser is a pup you could train to do just about anything. He's both love and treat motivated. He had a family for over a year but sadly they separated and nobody could take this good boy. Fraiser has wanted nothing more than to be loved on, snuggle, and rimp around with his friends here at the ranch. Fraiser is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, been given Proheart 12 and Bravecto Quantum to protect him from heartworms, fleas and ticks until October of 2026, he's crate trained and house trained! All he needs is a loving family to call his own. For more information on adopting Fraiser, message us at Happy Tails Ranch Rescue. We'd love to set up a meet n greet! You can pm us on FB or email us at Happytailsranchrescue@gmail.com

Story
I got him from a breeder in a small town. He is definitely a farm dog he is not house trained but he’s learning. He’s very energetic and loves to play with other dogs. He gets zoomies all the time. He’s an attention seeker and likes to be the only one who gets pets. He can be really silly. We don’t have enough time for him so him going to a better home would be good for him.
