Story
Needing to rehome Leia to a good family! She is pet and kid friendly and loves to cuddle. She is full of energy and loves to play. She is also a mix of pit bull and Doberman. I would say her size is between a medium to large type of dog with short hair. She also has a thing for socks. She will come with everything needed like her crate and food etc. If any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Story
Shai is a two-year-old, very energetic dog. I adopted her in March 2025. Unfortunately, my work schedule has changed significantly, and I no longer have enough quality time to spend with her. Shai would thrive with a present, active dog parent. She is great with kids as well as other dogs and would make a wonderful family dog or companion for an active individual.

Story
Eloise loves people and kids and is a total cuddler. She’s never had issues with humans, though she may cower from unfamiliar men or run from the doorbell. She won’t jump baby gates or our 3-ft fence. She barks outside just to say hello and never steals food. She greets with nose boops instead of jumping and loves getting in the pool. We raised her with our cats and small dog, and she was great until about age two. Then she suddenly went after our small dog over lap attention. After repeated incidents, we separated them. She later began targeting our cats—sometimes ignoring them, other times lunging and clamping down if they slip past the gate. We’ve managed this for two years with strict routines and separation, but the behavior has worsened, so she now wears a soft muzzle indoors and a shock collar. She would do wonderfully in a home with large dogs and no cats. Her Instagram is @eloise_the_pyrenees

Story
Meet Pearl! She was taken to the shelter by a good samaritan after they accidently hit her with her car. She had two pelvic fractures and a femoral fracture. Knowing she needed more care than the shelter could provide, her only options were to be tagged by a rescue or unfortunately be euthanized. We were able to take her into our rescue and she had surgery the following week to fix her femur fracture! She has fully recovered from her surgery but will most likely always walk with a limp since her left leg is now about an inch shorter than her right. Even through all the difficulties she has endured, she has been the most precious dog and is so loving. She can be timid at first, but quickly latches on to the people she trusts. She has now turned into her fosters shadow around the house! We are so excited she is officially ready for adoption. Adoption fee is $200, which goes directly to helping pay for her surgery and care.

St. Bernard

Story
Hanky Panky is one of those Saint Bernards that we will never forget for the rest of our lives. He has the temperament and look that every Saint should have. He is not a young boy, but he is not an old man. He has a beautiful short hair coat. We think he is approximately 5 years old. Hanky Panky loves attention, will walk right by your side, knows how to sit and is great with all dogs. He will make you smile every day. He weighs 135 pounds, and he is heartworm positive. St Cloud’s rescue has already neutered him, and he is on the slow kill method for the heartworms. This will take between 6 months to a year to complete. He is having some intestinal issues that may be due to his medication for the heartworm treatment. He is house trained. He does have a sensitive stomach and we are working to find the food that works best for him the best. He should weigh about 150 pounds when he is healthy and eating properly. He loves toys but he can’t have toys because he has a tendency to eat them. In concern for families with small children, we will not adopt a dog to a home with any child under the age of 5. This is due to the large size of Saint Bernards and the safety of your children. Our Saint Bernards are not aggressive or mean in any way, they can just knock down children easily. If you would like to visit our pups please contact St. Cloud's Rescue at www.stcloudsrescue.org or call 972-679-5319. The first step in adopting from St. Cloud's Rescue is to complete an application. The application may be found OUR WEBSITE at www.stcloudsrescue.org. Please click on the application process, complete and then email it. Once the application has been sent please call us to confirm that we have received it. St.Cloud's Rescue maintains the right to deny applications to anyone for any reason we see fit. St. Cloud Rescue is a non-profit 501-c-3 organization. St. Clouds Rescue requires new owners to purchase a one year supply of heartworm preventative from us, which is at cost. We require a home visit prior to all placements. All our dogs must be microchipped at a cost of $20.00. There is a $350.00 donation fee. All dogs adopted through St Clouds Rescue must be indoors. Saint Bernards can not tolerate the Texas heat.
