Tom

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, 3 yrs 6 mos

The Colony, TX

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Story

Tom is a 3-year-old neutered male Pitbull mix with a stunning brindle coat and a big, loving heart. This energetic guy thrives when he has space to stretch his legs, so a house with a fenced-in backyard would be ideal for him. He absolutely loves going on walks, and he has the cutest habit—sometimes he’ll pause, look up at you, and gently ask for a hug. Lean in, and he’ll reward you with the biggest, happiest smile!Tom prefers the company of women and is uncomfortable around most men. Because of this, he will do best in a women-only household. He has been working with our trainer to build confidence around men, and he has made progress, but this will be an ongoing journey that his new family must be ready to continue.He is also most successful as the only dog in the home, and due to his nervous energy, he should not live with children. Tom is full of joy with the people he trusts—he adores our female volunteers, loves playtime with his toys, and shines when he feels safe and understood.If you`re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion who will reward your patience with endless love, hugs, and heart-melting smiles, Tom is ready to meet his perfect match.

Nemo

Golden Retriever German Shepherd Dog

Male, 6 yrs 2 mos

The Colony, TX

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Story

This handsome 6-year-old Retriever mix has the kind of charm that will melt your heart. With his tan coat and the cutest ears that stand straight up, Nemo is as striking as he is sweet.Nemo has a gentle and loving personality. He adores spending time outside, whether it’s going on a walk or simply soaking up the sunshine. Hugs are one of his favorite things, and he’ll happily be part of whatever you’re doing—he just loves being close to his people. And if you really want to win him over, bring some chicken jerky treats (though he’s still learning to be a little gentler when taking them!). This boy would likely be fine in either a house or an apartment, as long as he gets his daily walks and quality time with you.Important Note: Nemo is selective with cats or dogs and would need a meet and greet before adopting. That or he could be an only animal in the home, but that just means he has all the more love to give his humans!If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion who will be your best friend through it all, Nemo is ready to fill that role and shower you with love.

Trenton

Australian Cattle Dog Hound (Unknown Type)

Male, 2 yrs 1 mo

The Colony, TX

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Story

Trenton is a 2-year-old neutered male Heeler/Hound mix with handsome red and white coloring and beautiful speckling that makes him just as unique as his personality. He came from a situation where there were many dogs and limited positive human interaction, so he is still learning how to build confidence and trust with people. Trenton has already begun making progress, but he will need a patient and understanding family willing to continue helping him grow at his own pace.Trenton would do best in a calm home without young children, where the environment is quiet and predictable so he can feel safe while learning that the world isn’t such a scary place. With time, patience, and encouragement, he has the potential to form a strong and loyal bond with his people.He is very treat-motivated, which makes him a great candidate for training with positive reinforcement. Trenton is still learning how to walk on a leash and will need someone dedicated to helping him build confidence and learn those skills. With consistency and lots of encouragement, he is sure to continue making progress.When meeting other dogs on leash, Trenton has seemed okay with gentle, respectful dogs, but he can show barrier reactivity and may be selective about his canine companions. Because of this, a meet and greet will be required for any dogs already in the home to ensure a good fit.Trenton would likely thrive in a house with a secure yard where he can safely explore, stretch his legs, and continue building confidence at his own pace. With the right patient family willing to give him the time he needs, Trenton has all the potential to blossom into a devoted and loving companion.
