Nemo

Golden Retriever German Shepherd Dog

Male, 6 yrs 3 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—especially going for walks, which are his absolute favorite thing! He would love a home where he can enjoy long walks to stretch his legs and explore the world by your side. When he’s not out adventuring, he’s soaking up the sunshine or staying close to his people—because hugs and companionship are what he lives for. 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!).Nemo will need a home with a fenced-in yard, as apartment living isn’t the right fit for him. He also prefers to be selective with other dogs, so a meet and greet is required—or he may be happiest as the only pet where he can soak up all the love and attention.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 2 mos

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 made great progress and continues to improve every day. He is starting to seek out human affection more and more, showing just how much he wants to connect—he just needs a little time and patience to fully come out of his shell. Once he feels safe, he has the potential to form a strong and loyal bond with his people.He is doing much better on a leash and has really begun to enjoy going for walks. Walks are becoming a great way for him to build confidence and explore the world at his own pace. He is also very treat-motivated, which makes him a great candidate for training with positive reinforcement.Trenton would do best in a calm home without young children, where the environment is quiet and predictable so he can continue to gain confidence. When meeting other dogs on leash, he has seemed okay with gentle, respectful dogs, but he can show some 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.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 and understanding family, Trenton has all the potential to blossom into a devoted, affectionate companion.

This sweet boy is full of puppy curiosity and charm, always ready to explore, play, and soak up all the love he can get.He’s expected to grow into a larger dog, and with his Lab/Husky background, Dewey will likely be an energetic and adventurous companion.

Because of this, Dewey will not be placed in a home with small children.He’s still learning the ropes of the world and will need guidance with potty training, leash skills, and basic manners. With patience, structure, and positive reinforcement, Dewey has all the potential to grow into an incredible lifelong companion.So far, Dewey has only been around his siblings, so slow introductions to new dogs will be important. His soft coat will also benefit from regular grooming to keep him looking and feeling his best.If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate pup and are ready to invest the time into helping him become the best version of himself, Dewey is ready to grow up right by your side.
