Story
Sadie is around a year old. She was dumped on my property at around 4 months old. Rehabilitated and got her perfectly healthy for her new home. Super playful. Kennel and house trained but is not leash trained due to being free ranged at my ranch (would have to carry her to and from the vet). I rescue and had all sorts of dogs around her and she has been playful and friendly with them all. She does chase my barn cats so I would say she does best in a dog only household. Indoor/outdoor pup. Really sweet girl, I just don’t have the room to keep her due to the influx of strays that get dumped on my property.

She showed up at our house 2 days before Christmas. We have her in our backyard but we cannot keep her. We have two other dogs and a cat she seems to get along with them and with kids. She seems trained and like she was an indoor dog we have her in our backyard because she can’t be inside.

Story
I’m looking for a loving, forever home for my sweet dog, Autumn, she will come with her igloo home and food container, kennel, leash and belongings. She is a 2-year-old rescue, She is affectionate, loyal, and playful, and she loves spending time with people. She is gentle, great with kids, and warms up quickly once she feels safe. I hope to find a home where she will be loved, cared for, and included as part of the family. A yard or space to play would be ideal. She thrives with attention, and she gets along with other animals.

Pharr, TX
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
He was born April 29, 2025. His mom is an Australian Shepherd (pic 4), and his dad is a Bully Xl (pic 3). See the picture of the parents. He is on the go all the time, so does needs some training and a yard to run in. I think he is just a little confined living in an RV. He likes to play fetch. Does not like cats or at least thinks they should play with him, only he is a little too rough. Does not like to be left alone and can become destructive (chew shoes) when he is. He can be good, just needs more space than what we have.

Story
Hey everyone, this is chop and Norro. They’re two strays that me and my family took in they do pretty well with potty training, especially recently that we’ve been a little bit more on it either on the pee pad or outside is there only options they don’t pee in any other room in the house the only issues that they have had is with each other for some reason recently they’ve just grown to dislike each other so we’ve kept them separate but they don’t fight with our other dog at all our older dog very energetic little guys definitely need a home where they’ll get a good amount of training hopefully and a big yard or someone who will be willing to walk them and everything originally I had both of them up then it was just chopped, but I’ve decided that either one deserves a chance of getting a better home they both get along with our older dog, so there really is no issue with either one leaving the house Please let me know if anyone’s interested. I just want them to have a nice safe home.
