Story
Meet Ozzie, a handsome Shepherd/Husky mix who is looking for a second chance at a forever home. Ozzie first came to the shelter as a puppy, and now he has found his way back with us.

Once he feels comfortable, he has the potential to show you the sweet personality underneath that initial shyness.Ozzie would love a patient adopter who understands that building trust can take a little time. If you’re willing to let him come out of his shell at his own pace, Ozzie may just be the loyal companion you’ve been looking for. He’s ready for a fresh start and a home where he can finally grow into the confident, happy dog he’s meant to be.The adoption fee for this pet is $75.

Story
Meet Sadie, a sweet 10-year-old girl who is looking for a very special person to call her own. Sadie can be shy when meeting new people and prefers to keep her circle small, but once she feels comfortable, she has so much love to give. She was surrendered to the shelter through no fault of her own and is now hoping for a quiet, loving home where she can enjoy her golden years.Sadie will need someone who understands that trust takes time and is willing to be patient as she settles in and learns that she is safe. She’s looking for a person who will appreciate her for who she is, give her the care and attention an older dog deserves, and allow her to build a bond at her own pace. Sadie may not be the dog who immediately greets everyone she meets, but for the right person, she could be a loyal and loving companion. Sometimes the dogs who need a little extra patience are the ones who make the most meaningful connections.The adoption fee for this pet is $75. This cost includes spay/neuter, microchip, and all vaccines.October 3, 2026, 4:09 pm

We are looking to rehome our dog Samantha due to several issues. Sammy is an adult dog of two years of age. She was born December 4, 2024. She was born at the Flower Mound Animal Shelter.Samantha needs to be with a younger family or owner that has a lot of energy. I am an older male with a severely damaged spine and cannot keep up with her. She has shown signs she is not good with other dogs , but could possibly be resolved with socialization. Please contact me.There is no adoption fee. Samantha just needs a good home.
