Story

Meet Debbie: Shelter Survivor, Heart Melter She’s deaf, but she hears love loud and clear. Debbie is a 3-year-old female cattle dog with the kind of eyes that stop you in your tracks, soft, soulful, and silently asking, “Pick me?” She spent 712 days in the shelter. Day after day, she watched families pass her by, not understanding why she wasn’t the one. Just staring at the walls, dreaming of a soft bed, her own toy, and someone to finally choose her. Debbie is deaf, but don’t let that fool you she listens with her heart. She also knows sign language, sit, shake, down, she's got it covered. She’s the perfect balance of cattle dog: not too high-strung, but still full of life. She loves doing zoomies in the yard and playing with her jolly ball, then curling up for some well-deserved couch time. She’s currently living with an Aussie and two Yorkies and does great in a respectful pack. Debbie knows her boundaries and thrives when given space. she isn’t pushy, just happy to be included. True to her breed, she does have a small prey drive and enjoys chasing squirrels and cats, so a cat-free home would be ideal. Debbie is fully potty trained and does great in a kennel. One of her favorite parts of the day is watching her foster mom get ready in the morning she’s a loyal shadow who loves to be close. Skin care routine? She’s got your back (and your serum steps memorized). After everything she’s been through, Debbie deserves her own forever family and her own forever bed. If you think Deb is your next best friend apply today: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/DSTR/Dog Deb is being fostered in Houston Texas but is available for adoption many places around the country. The cost of transport is included in the adoption fee.

Story

Meet Oliver or as we call him, Ollie! Ollie’s journey hasn’t been easy. When he was first rescued, he was nearly hairless and suffering from painful, mange ridden skin (see last photo). He had been on the euthanasia list at a municipal shelter. A volunteer and a foster fell in love with him, a rescue said yes, and hence started Ollie’s healing journey. Fast forward a few months, he is a handsome, happy, and full of life boy! Most of his fur has grown back beautifully, though he still has a bald patch around his neck and shoulders that may never fully regrow. But honestly, It just adds to his charm. His glow-up is truly something special. Ollie is one of the sweetest dogs you’ll ever meet. His fosters call him their “golden child” because he’s just about perfect. Ollie is fantastic with every person he meets, including kids, and he absolutely adores other dogs. Ollie is both potty trained and kennel trained. He loves playing with other dogs, chewing on toys, going on walks, car rides, and just chilling. His foster family absolutely adores him, and watching him blossom has been nothing short of heartwarming. Ollie does need weekly baths to keep his skin healthy but they are quick and easy, and he is very cooperative. He is estimated to be around 6-7 years old and weighs about 55 lbs. If you think Ollie is your next best friend apply today: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/DSTR/Dog Ollie is currently being fostered in Houston, Texas, but is available in many cities around the country. The adoption fee includes the cost of transport.
