Story
My sweet Melina was the runt of her litter& ; no one wanted her, and she was the only one with a red and white coat. Melina has been a house dog her entire life and has never bitten anyone. She once had a sibling who, unfortunately, passed away, but she remains loving and resilient. Personality-wise, she is dominant and very independent, with a spunky spirit. She loves being outside, running around, and enjoying her freedom. While it may take her a moment to warm up, she does well with other dogs. Melina& personality is strong and confident. She is dominant and independent, knowing exactly what she wants and when she wants it. She has a spunky, bold spirit and loves being outside where she can run freely and explore. While she enjoys the company of other dogs, she carries herself like a little leader& ; self-assured, alert, and full of life.

Story
This is Apollo, we will he’s around 4 years old. We got him for an animal shelter so unsure of his bred, we think an Australian Kelpie Mix. I consider him an old soul, he’s super chill, really does love to be cuddled on his bed or with you. We like to joke around and say he thinks he’s some kind of bougie dog. He doesn’t like to get his feet wet on the morning dew, loves to be indoors than outdoors and likes his bath water hot haha! He’s potty trained, crate trained, and great with kids, other dogs and cats! He’s really the sweetest dog you will ever meet. He doesn’t do well off leash, but walks great on leash. He isn’t allowed on the furniture since we had a baby but before he was. The only reason I am rehoming is because we are moving and can’t take him with us.

Pointer Great Pyrenees

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
She is a very sweet, affectionate dog who loves people and thrives on attention. She follows you around, enjoys being close, and truly just wants to be loved. She does well with other dogs and currently gets along great with our dog. She has a lot of energy and curiosity and would do best in an active home with a securely fenced yard. She enjoys being outside but has a strong digging instinct, so she would benefit from supervision, enrichment, and continued training. She would thrive with someone who has the time and space to give her attention, exercise, and structure. Our goal is to find her a home that’s a better fit so she can be happy and successful long-term.

Charlie Brown

Chihuahua

Male, Adult
Hockley, TX
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Not good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Charlie was given to us by a friend after she rescued him from a shelter. She opted for a fluffy dog instead. He’s about five years old. He is very well trained, however, he must be walked on a leash or let into a yard with same or smaller dogs to go potty. Our big Goldendoodles pick on him and he hates them, so he won’t go outside. We are aging and unable to walk him. He deserves a home without these challenges. He is not a needy or clingy dog. He doesn’t like a bath, but he is easy to keep clean because he’s small and short-haired. He doesn’t know he’s small. He likes stuffed animals bigger than himself. He is very healthy and I expect him to live a long life.
