Story
Looking for a best friend full of love, personality, and snuggles? Kira is a sweet, affectionate girl who feels safest and happiest indoors with her people. She thrives in a calm, stable home where she can relax, be loved, and return that love tenfold. Kira is house-trained and crate-trained—though she may try to escape a wired crate when anxious, she usually settles well when she feels secure. Despite being deaf, she’s incredibly smart and has learned hand signals for commands like “sit” and “quiet,” proving that communication is no barrier to connection. She adores kids and meeting new people and will happily ask for belly rubs, often flashing a big, happy smile in return. Kira enjoys walks, car rides, and curling up on a comfy bed—whether it’s hers or yours. Kira needs to be the only pet in the home due to a strong prey drive and prefers not to share her space with other animals. She loves attention and companionship and will thrive in a home where she’s doted on. She has a playful side, loves to shred toys, but is otherwise well-mannered. She may pull a little on the leash when excited and dislikes baths, sometimes trying to escape mid-scrub. Kira uses a high-pitched bark when anxious or seeking attention. With a few special needs, Kira’s huge heart and gentle nature make her an incredible companion. She communicates beautifully through her eyes, body language, and unwavering devotion. Kira is spayed, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and heartworm negative/on prevention.

Story
Apollo was surrendered back to us due to housing issues. He is a happy boy that loves everyone he meets. He is dog, stranger, and child friendly. He is good with cats, but does get overly excited and will get into their faces. He has not been around livestock. He is housetrained and potty trained. He can climb a short chain link fence so will need a secure fence if he is going to be left outside. He walks very well on a leash. He rides well in the car, but does think he is passenger seat material. Apollo knows "sit," "stay," "lay down," and "paw." Apollo is neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm negative and on prevention.

Stephenville, TX
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Pistol was surrendered after a disagreement with another dog, so he’s looking for a home where he can be the only canine companion. He’s a fun, affectionate boy who loves to play and cuddle—sometimes he just doesn’t know when to stop! Pistol does well with older children, enjoys car rides, and walks nicely on a leash. He is housebroken and ready to settle into a new home. Pistol does not do well with cats and would do best in a pet-free home where he can be the center of attention. He is neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, heartworm negative, and on prevention.

Niro was found as a stray and was never reclaimed. She’s an energetic, wiggly, happy, and affectionate puppy who loves attention and enjoys having a good chew toy to keep her busy. As a young pup, Niro is still learning the basics—she hasn’t mastered leash walking or potty training just yet, but with time and consistency, she’s sure to catch on quickly. She has done well with another puppy she goes out with. Niro has received all of her vaccinations, dewormer, and a microchip. She is spayed.

Stephenville, TX
Size

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Kaloni was brought in with a puppy and sadly was never reclaimed. He’s a friendly, energetic guy who clearly doesn’t enjoy shelter life and is eager to get back to the comforts of a real home. While he came in with another dog, he hasn’t been officially dog tested yet. Kaloni has done well indoors and may already be potty trained. He’s still learning to walk politely on a leash but is improving with time and patience. Kaloni is neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and dewormed. He is heartworm negative and on prevention.

Popcorn Ball

Labrador Retriever Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 6 mos
Stephenville, TX
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Popcorn Ball was found as a stray with his siblings and is now ready for his forever home! This energetic, happy puppy is always thrilled to see people and love to play together with our resident Niro. He is a typical puppy who will need time, patience, and consistency as he continues learning potty training and leash manners. So far, he hasn’t been overly vocal, though he will bark at other dogs during playtime or when he gets overly excited. While in foster Popcorn Ball was not a fan of the household dog, so a meet and greet with current pets is highly recommended. Popcorn Ball is fully vaccinated, neutered, dewormed, and microchipped
