Story
Scrappy, about 50 lbs About me: My wrinkles may be minimal, but my heart is huge. I'm playful, affectionate, and always down to make new dog friends or join a game in the yard. But my real love language? Finding the coziest heated blanket in the house and melting into it like the snuggle champion I am. I'll happily switch between playmate and professional cuddle buddy — whatever you need. My résumé: House trained ✅ Know sit, lay down, stay, and leave it ✅ Great with kids ✅ Self-appointed security guard — I take 'protect and serve' seriously and have been known to hop the child gate to greet visitors myself, especially new ones. (The gardeners are still on my watch list, sorry not sorry.) A few honest quirks, because I believe in full transparency on the first date: I pull a little on the leash (working on it). Car rides aren't my favorite — I'll whine the whole way, but I'm otherwise a good passenger. Thunderstorms make me nervous. Baths make me an Olympic sprinter, so we've switched to waterless ones. I can be crated, but I don't really enjoy it and tend to rub my nose. Lately I've just been hanging out loose on dog beds in the living room (and sneaking onto the big bed at night — don't tell). Looking for: Someone who'll keep a close eye on me (I'll be doing the same for you), doesn't mind a co-pilot who narrates every car ride, and has unlimited compliments about how handsome I am. Bonus points for belly rubs. Swipe right and fill out an adoption application if you're ready to be loved fiercely and guarded loyally.  Fostering in the greater Dallas areaAugust 7, 2026, 2:05 pm

Story
Found this sweet girl at work back in November 2025 and really tried to give her a good life but I don't always have the time or energy. Trying to do what's best for her and find her a new home that will give her the life I tried and am failing at. Not 100% sure on her breed or how old she is, she was maybe 3 or 4 months old when I found her.

Story
I found Hunter in the street; I decided to adopt him. He's a fun dog to have around; he loves to play with balls and stuffed animals. He doesn't need a lot of attention; he's so chill. He's really good with female dogs, cats, and kids. We have two cats, one female Chihuahua, and a male boxer. Unfortunately, Hunter and the boxer started to fight so badly that we can't have them together, to the point that I'm scared the boxer would hurt Hunter. Hunter is trained.

Story
He is a cuddler! He loves to cuddle. He can get aggressive when excited but he means so harm! He loves to play with toys and loves blankets! He is aggressive with unknown dogs and doesn’t really like men but is good with women and children! He loves to run and play! I’m just very busy and I don’t have to walk him every day or space for him to run and play!

Story
My mother rescued Buddy, a 14 pound terrier mix, a few years back from her neighborhood. He is anywhere from 5 to 7 years old. I’ve gotten him neutered and he’s up to date on all his vaccinations. I recently got him a 3-year rabies shot in December 2024 and I have his vet records to provide as proof. My mother’s health is declining. I don’t live in El Paso, nor do I have a house with ample space. Buddy is a sweet guy who needs more attention and structure. My mother cannot provide this with her developing dementia symptoms, and I want Buddy to thrive with someone who can devote more time to him and properly train him. He would do well in a single dog home since he’s afraid of other dogs. Buddy has a lot of energy. So, he would do best with someone who has experience working with and training pets. But we’re open to whoever is willing to give Buddy a loving home. I’m willing to send Buddy to a loving home including food and bedding.
