Waylon loves playing with other dogs, but new situations can still make him a little nervous. With patience and love, he’ll blossom into the loyal companion you’ve been searching for.

Story
Meet Rhett, the furry fellow with a heart of gold and a playful spirit! This affectionate, athletic, and gentle doggie is a true sweetheart with a fun-loving personality. Rhett is the perfect companion for those seeking a loyal and loving furry friend. At almost two year's old, Rhett is already house-trained and knows all the basics. Doc says because he is neutered and fully vetted, Rhett is healthy & approved to go into a new home as long as it’s the right family for him! He loves nothing more than to run and play outside with his fur-sibling, and he also enjoys taking a leisurely cruise in the car. He's toy and treat motivated, which makes training and bonding with him all the more fun. Rhett is a cuddly couch potato who likes to be close to his humans, whether it's snuggling up in the bed or following you around the house. He's also an independent guy, and he's just as content spending time alone exploring the yard or taking a siesta in the sun. Rhett is a true fan of the good life, appreciating a country setting and scrambled eggs for breakfast. He's an all-around good boy who is great with kids and even tolerates bath time. He does have a soft spot for his human mom and may be a bit pickier about his dad, but he's a sweet and affectionate pup who will warm your heart in no time. If you’re ready to make a life time commitment to loving and caring for Rhett unconditionally; then give us a call or message to set up a meet & greet. We can come to you or your welcome to drive into Victoria, Texas and find out just how amazing he truly is.

Story
Hi there! My name is Oliver, and I am a male doggie who is just waiting to find my furever home. I am a friendly and playful pooch who loves to have a good time, whether that's running around and playing fetch, or curling up on the couch and taking a well-deserved nap. I am athletic and love to stay active, but I also appreciate the importance of good rest. I am also a well-mannered dog, and I get along well with other dogs, so if you're looking for a new pal for your pup, look no further! I may be an adult doggie, but I am still full of love and energy, and I am excited to meet my forever family. I was abandoned in Victoria Texas, and while I have no hard feelings toward my previous owners, I am ready to find a place to call my forever home. If you are looking for a fun, loyal and loving companion, apply to adopt me today!

Story
Hello everyone! My name is Bo, and I am a lab mix who is looking for a loving home. You may notice that I am a little bit on the quiet side, but I have a heart of gold and a playful side that comes out when I'm comfortable. I have been through a lot lately. I used to have a brother, Duke, who was adopted, leaving me behind. I've been at Victoria County Animal Services since August of 2023 and I'm just so lonely and sad without my best friend. I really just want a family to call my own again. I miss my brother Duke a lot, but I know he must be happy and I do believe there's a family out there that will give me the love and care I need. I may be a little shy at first, but I'm really a sweet and playful boy who just wants to have someone to cuddle and enjoy walks with. I would prefer to be the only dog in the household so I can finally be the center of attention but having a sibling again would be nice. If you think your heart can handle more love, and you're willing to take a chance on a sweet, lonely boy like me, please come meet me today! So…Duke was brought back to the shelter!!! We are together again. I have my best friend and I never want to loose him. Please Lord send an amazing family to adopt us together so we will never be separated again and always be loved unconditionally.
