Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Hi I am Marble! My birthday is November 13, 2019.  My foster home is located in Collin/Denton county. I weigh about 60lbs and knee high tall. I am looking for my forever home. My owner had to surrender me so they could get medical care out of state and now they are not coming back. I am a super happy, sweet and fun loving girl. I love being with my people. I am eager please and want to do my best. I listen very well also.  I love snuggling with you in bed and on the couch.  I have lots of energy so I need a home that will give me a lot of attention and exercise. I enjoy playing with balls and stuffed animals. I am a super vocal girl who makes a lot of different sounds. My foster mom says that I purr, coo and even sound like Chewbacca from Star Wars sometimes.  I am crate trained, mostly house trained and love riding in the car. I eat Purina One dog food and love dog treats and chew toys. I do okay with the cats in my foster home but I am not left unsupervised with them, my foster mom crates me when she is not home. I do well with other dogs after I am properly introduced to them. I get very excited when I see a new dog and can overwhelm them with my energy so I need to be introduced slowly and while being supervised. I love playing with the other dogs in my foster home. My foster mom says I will be fine as an only dog also. I have cats in my foster home but I am not left unsupervised with them. I would probably do better in a home without cats. I would love to be showered with attention and be the love of your life. Please consider adopting me. I promise I will be a loving and loyal companion to you. If you are considering adopting two dogs. please consider adopting me with my best friend, Sadie.

Story
Athena is a very lovable dog, who absolutely loves pets from everyone she encounters. She plays fetch but her favorite game is playing tug. She's all about tugging toys with her owner. She's a confident dog who loves out door adventures. Shes a well tempered dog all around, has never bitten another dog or human and is not territorial. Shes been raised along side her brother who's shares the same training, while they are littermates they both have been trained separately to ease or remove any separation anxiety issues. Athena has been properly trained to walk in heel, she understands both Spanish and English commands. She's highly food motivated for easier additional training. Athena is also trained to potty on command as well as feeding on command. If kept up, she also knows to sit at the door and wait for the "okay" command before stepping out of the door. We've trained her to not jump on people for safety reasons. She's also trained to stay off of furniture. Athena is 1 year and 6 mo

Story
Meet Jackie 🐶🫶🐾 Jackie is an adorable 11-year-old Rat Terrier mix with a tiny frame and an even bigger heart. After his beloved owner passed away and no family came forward, Jackie was left alone at the shelter, waiting and hoping for someone to come for him. 🐕Despite everything he’s been through, Jackie remains a spirited little guy full of charm and character. He’s definitely an entertainer, as his photos will tell you—always ready to strike a pose or show off his quirky side. ❤️Jackie did test positive for heartworm, and due to his age, he isn’t a candidate for the fast-kill treatment. But what he is a perfect candidate for is a quiet, loving home where he can enjoy his golden years in peace and comfort. This sweet senior deserves more than a kennel—he deserves a family. A lap to curl up in. A hand to scratch behind his ears. A home to call his own. Will you be the one to give Jackie the second chance he’s been waiting for?
