Story
Samson is a sweet dog who is roughly 8 years old. He was gifted to us from one of my husband's friends (over 7 years ago.) We believe he's a Blue heeler/ Lab mix.Samson is well rounded. He's good with cats, dogs and especially children. He is very food driven and LOVES attention/ affection. Kennel and house trained.He's smart, trained to sit and stay by you. He does shed a lot and has a little bit of acid reflux from time to time. Other than that, no known health issues.He is not a good fit for us and we would like to find him a better suited home, with someone who can give him more time and the attention he deserves.I will gladly meet you (within reason) to bring you the dog. His kennel, food and accessories will be included*Edit* to add: he is NOT fixed. He's an intact male. But I find it ridiculous that this site added the requirement that he be fixed upon adoption. He does not have to be (your choice.) Samson being 8 yrs old, my husband decided not to have him fixed.

Yum Yum was surrendered to a Louisiana shelter along with several other dogs 2/12/2026. Yum Yum is a bit shy but ready to bond to her person and too gentle to hurt anyone even when scared. She smiles with her teeth. Yum Yum is dog and cat friendly. She loves attention and loves to cuddle. If you want to walk her on a leash she will need a little work but Yum Yum is potty and kennel trained. Adoption fee is $250.

Story
Cayenne is a female black and tan chihuahua or similar mix. We estimate her to be 2 years old and she weighs 6-7 lbs. Cayenne is spayed, vaccinated and heartworm negative. She is ready for adoption. Cayenne was surrendered to a Louisiana shelter along with several other dogs 2/12/2026. Cayenne was immediately the most social of the group. She displays several qualities of the perfect Chihuahua... A little bit bossy with her pack, and very into her human. She definitely wants a person to be her bestie. Cayenne is dog friendly but alpha and would probably not do as well with another alpha female dog. She has a perky, involved personality. If you want to walk her on a leash she will need a little work but Cayenne is potty and kennel trained. Adoption fee is $250.

Story
Dan Fielding s a male tricolor small mix breed we think may be Min Pin, Rat Terrier or similar combination. Dan Fielding is about 3 years old and weighs 13-14 lbs. Dan is neutered, vaccinated including rabies. He tested heartworm negative and is on monthly preventive. Dan is ready for adoption. Dan Fielding came to us from a NW Louisiana shelter. His background is unknown but we do know he is a good boy. Dan is friendly on first meeting of people or dogs. He does attach to his person and is reluctant to transfer his attention to someone else if his special person is around. Dan is charming and loyal and will be a pleaser to his special person. He has legs for days and is very agile. Dan kennels well and will adapt to new routines with a little consistency and stability. Dan is overall a sweet, good dog. He would be fine in a home with or without other dogs. Adoption fee is $275.

Story
Annie is a female tan with white mix breed. She is 5 years old and she weighs 36 pounds. Annie is spayed and vaccinated including rabies. Annie is heartworm negative and on monthly heartworm preventive. Annie is ready for adoption. Annie is people and dog friendly, and only mildly curious about the cat. Annie was owner surrendered (through no fault of Annie’s) by the person who has had her since she was 10 weeks old. Annie doesn’t know her own strength but she is sweet and gentle too. Annie is potty and kennel trained. She pulls on a leash and is spooked by cars driving by. Annie knows her name, knows sit, and could learn so much more. We think Annie would do best with a fenced back yard for her and a friend to play in. Adoption fee is $150.
