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 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.   Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Anyone interested in our dogs/cats will be required to fill out an adoption application.

Story
Sheryl is a sweetheart! Our vet suggested her breed as "Cute Little Brown Dog", lol. She weighs 26 pounds, is fully vaccinated, spayed, HW negative and on preventative. She sleeps all night in her crate and has almost mastered house training. Sheryl is a social girl, loves playing with her foster sibling, loves her chew toys and going on walks/runs. In her new home she would love to have a doggy friend to play with. She's met cats while leashed and showed curiosity but did not react in a negative way. Of course, we will help with introductions. Her ideal home is one where mom or dad work from home or part time. Please remember that puppies need a lot of time, patience, positive reinforcement, training and love. If you have that to give and want to meet Sheryl, please request an application! A fenced yard is required and a vet reference is recommended. We adopt in the DFW area only (within a 1 hour drive from Terrell) as we deliver our pets to their new homes.

Story
Harper is a sweet tempered Shepherd/Lab mix, born approximately October 1, 2023 and weighs 55 pounds. She's going to be a big girl when through growing! She loves playing with the dogs in her foster home. She also loves napping in the sun and playing fetch. She hasn't met a cat yet but because of her gentle nature we think she'll want them to be her friend. Of course we will help with introductions. Harper is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and already on HW and flea preventative. Harper is working on her house manners and doing very well but is still a puppy and will need a family committed to continuing her training. Maybe a mom or dad that works from home or part time?. Please remember that puppies need a lot of time, patience, positive reinforcement, training and love. If you have that to give and want to meet Harper, please request an application! We adopt in the DFW area only (within a 1-hour drive from Terrell) as we deliver our pets to their new homes. A vet reference and a fenced yard appropriate for her size and breed are required.

Story
Maya is a sweet natured 5-month old Husky/Malamute mix weighing 35 pounds. She loves playing with her foster sibling, is learning basic commands and sleeps in her crate all night without accidents. Chasing a ball is one of her favorite games! She hasn't met a cat yet but if yours is calm they'd probably become friends! She is vaccinated, will be spayed soon and is on HW and flea preventative. Her ideal home is one where Mom or Dad work from home or part time. Please remember that puppies need a lot of time, patience, positive reinforcement, training and love. If you have that to give and want to meet Maya, please request an application! A fenced yard and vet reference are required. We adopt in the DFW area only (within an hour's drive from Terrell) as we deliver our pets to their new homes.

Story
Ruby Rose is a 9-week old Supermutt! (Best guess from our vet is Bully/Lab/Heeler mix?) She and her siblings were found abandoned in a box by the side of the road. They were rescued and are now in an awesome foster home. Ruby seems to be "in charge" keeping her siblings in line! She loves to run and play and is very curious of her surroundings. Ruby is a healthy puppy weighing 8 pounds and has had two sets of vaccinations. Her remaining vaccinations, rabies, microchip and spay (when six months old) are included in her adoption fee. Please remember that puppies need a lot of time, patience, positive reinforcement, training and love. If you have that to give, and an adult is home more than not, please request an application to meet Ruby! We adopt in the DFW area only as we deliver our pets to their new homes. A fenced hard and vet reference are required.
