Story

Princess is a German Sheppard mix, she is 2 years old and only 44 lbs. She loves chew bones and loves for you to play tug a war with her toys. She likes to go for rides in the car but she is not one for sticking her nose out of the window although she does like to look around at the sights. I adopted her about 6 months ago but as a disabled vet my health has gone downhill on me to where walking is hard for me to do. I am looking at having moving closer to family for their help and I feel she will be better off with a family that can spend time with her.

Story

Meet Milo 6 months old • 12 lbs • Chihuahua/Mini Poodle mix Milo is a sweet, scruffy little pup with a big heart and an even bigger journey behind him. He spent the first few months of his life wandering the area of San Gabriel in TX with his five sisters—just trying to stay safe and stick together. Two of his sisters were rescued a little earlier and are now thriving in their forever homes. Now it’s Milo’s turn. At just 6 months old (as of August 2025) and around 12 pounds, Milo is the perfect size for snuggling, adventuring, and everything in between. He’s a charming blend of Chihuahua and Mini/Toy Poodle—meaning he’s likely to be smart, affectionate, and full of personality. Milo is learning quickly that the world isn’t such a scary place when you're surrounded by love. He’s ready for a patient, kind family who will continue to show him the good life and help him grow into the confident, happy pup he’s meant to be. If you’re looking for a loyal little buddy with a brave heart and a soft coat, Milo might just be your perfect match.

Story

Maisy (blue brindle and white, 30lbs) is a little more independent than her sisters but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t love people and attention. She will keep track of her foster while she keeps her eyes and nose looking for trouble. This litter of 4 girls was born 3-25-23. The daddy is a chihuahua/Dauschund mix and the mother is a big bully breed mix. These puppies are gentle and social, smart, and not going to be large. They have learned to kennel, house training is a work in progress that their new families need to take seriously since these girls are still learning and need patience and help getting it right. Weight listed is from the day pup was spayed on 9-6-23, she will likely not exceed 35-40lbs.

Story

Meet Titus: The 20lb Love Bug Who Makes You Earn It! Titus is a charming, chunky 20lb Chihuahua mix ready to find his dedicated, patient companion. He is a truly special boy who promises fierce loyalty and deep affection—but only to the person who proves they are worthy! The Titus Approach to Love This sweet fella is not one for instant gratification. Titus operates on a "let him come to you and love will blossom" principle. • Patience is Key: Titus needs a calm, understanding adopter who is willing to give him plenty of time to adjust to his new surroundings and will never force him to socialize or interact before he's ready. • Worthy of Trust: Once you've earned his devotion, Titus transforms! He gets incredibly excited to see you, showering you with loving attention. His excitement when you walk through the door will be your greatest reward! • Boundary Focused: He is not a fan of being picked up or having his nails trimmed, so his ideal owner must respect his boundaries and be prepared to manage these activities with professional help or specialized techniques. Ideal Home Environment Titus is looking for a serene and predictable home where he can fully relax and feel safe. • Adults Only: A calm, relaxed household without children is an absolute necessity. • Furry Friends: He is fine with other calm, gentle dogs and is known to be good with cats. • The Commitment: He's a loving pup, but he's going to make you work for it! The reward for your patience is a devoted, life-long companion. If you are looking for a project in love and are ready to put in the time and respect needed to win over a truly loyal heart, Titus is waiting for you!
