Looking for a beautiful dog? How about a smart dog with lots of energy for walks, hikes and play? You’re in luck: Bandit has it all. Besides being gorgeous, he is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative and receiving preventative. He’s an adult with a puppy's playful personality (yes, that means lots of toys to keep him busy, besides an organized plan to make sure he gets plenty of exercise.). He’s smart, affectionate, and loves attention. He responds well to positive training methods and learns fast. He does not do well with cats, but loves people of all sizes.

Story
We rescued Ozzie in July 2025. She had been dumped (we think) in the National Forest because she was about to deliver a litter of puppies. We brought her home and she had 12 puppies! We have re-homed most, but still need to find a forever home for Ozzie. She is very sweet, and almost full Aussie (we had DNA done on puppies). We estimate she is 5-7 years old. She is a great mother, good with other dogs, our cat and kids. She needs room to roam, because she is a herder and prefers to wander. She is very smart and loves to smile! She has been fixed, has all shots and has been loved immensely during her time with us. BUT we can’t keep her.

Story
Cisco was owned by my uncle- an Army Veteran. He trained and registered Cisco as a service dog. My uncle passed away and we do not want a dog for our family. Cisco is a nice dog but he hasn’t been “worked” in several months because my uncle was on Hospice. He is free to good home. Cisco is in Huntington, TX. If you are interested you will have to come pick him up.
