Story
Serena is an 11-month-old spayed female American Pit Bull Terrier with a beautiful blue and white coat and a gentle, sensitive personality.Serena is still learning that the world—and the people in it—can be safe. She can be anxious when spending time in the yard or going for walks, but having another dog by her side helps give her reassurance and confidence.Her absolute favorite place to be is curled up on the couch next to a dog friend. That is where Serena is the most relaxed, comfortable, and confident. She truly thrives around other dogs and will need a home with a friendly, confident canine companion who can help show her the ropes.Serena does not seek out a lot of human affection just yet, but she is slowly learning that people can be kind and trustworthy. She needs someone who understands that building that relationship may take time and who will allow her to progress at her own pace.A quiet, predictable home with a patient owner and another dog is exactly what Serena needs to truly shine. She may not be the dog who runs up and jumps into your lap on day one, but with patience, consistency, and a canine best friend beside her, we believe Serena will continue to grow into the sweet, confident girl we know is hiding inside.CURRENTLY OFFSITE WITH A VOLUNTEER TO WORK ON CONFIDENCE.

Story
Meet Amber—big energy, big smiles, and even bigger love!Amber is an almost 2-year-old spayed female Lab/Pyrenees mix with a curious mind and an enthusiastic approach to life! This sweet girl enjoys tug-of-war, belly rubs, and snuggling with her favorite people.Amber is super energetic and LOVES playing with other dogs! She makes canine friends easily and would enjoy a buddy who can match her playful spirit. A meet and greet is required to make sure everyone is a good fit.With all that enthusiasm come a few manners that need polishing. Amber loves to jump when excited and is still working on her leash skills. She needs consistent training, daily exercise, and a family willing to help her learn. Fortunately, she’s smart and VERY treat motivated! Bring the snacks, and you’ll have an eager student.Amber would do best in a house with a fenced-in backyard where she can run and play. She can also be a bit talkative!Amber does not like young children. She needs a home with children ages 10 and up only.Looking for an affectionate, fun-loving companion who’s ready for your next adventure? Come meet Amber and see if she’s the perfect addition to your family!

Story
I first fostered Bless about two years ago while his previous owner worked through housing issues. It was meant to be temporary, but Bless has been with me ever since, and I’ve grown to love him deeply.My long-term project in Texas has now ended, and my job will require more relocation. Rather than put Bless through constant moves, I’m looking for a loving, permanent home where he can have the stability he deserves.Bless is about 8–9 years old, sweet, playful, intelligent, patient, and very affectionate. He loves people, does great with other dogs, enjoys walks and the dog park, and is just as happy cuddling or relaxing by your side. He is not very high-energy and would make a wonderful companion.His shots are current, and I can provide his records. He can also go with his toys and necessities.I am not looking to give Bless to just anyone. This is a hard decision, but his well-being comes first, and I want to find him a safe, loving forever family.

Story
Leonard is a 2.5-year-old neutered male Heeler/Hound mix with striking red and white coloring and beautiful speckling that makes him truly stand out.Leonard came from a situation where he had very little positive interaction with people, so he is still learning to trust and feel comfortable in a home. He can be avoidant with people at first and will need a patient, calm owner who understands that he may need a longer decompression period. With time, consistency, and some tasty treats, he may begin to come around.Leonard would do best in a home with a calm, well-mannered dog who can help teach him how to “dog” and show him that affection from people can be a good thing. He will need slow introductions and may seem indifferent toward another dog at first, but that’s okay. With time, he may begin watching and mirroring their behavior in the home. A meet and greet will be required.Leonard absolutely loves playing in water, especially when he gets to chase his siblings through the splash pad! He also enjoys playing tug with stuffed animals and is doing much better on leash.He would do best in a calm home without young children and with a securely fenced yard where he can safely explore and continue building confidence.Leonard may need extra time to adjust, but with patience, routine, and the right canine companion by his side, he has the potential to become a loyal and loving member of the family.
