Story
Max was born 10/21/24 and currently weighs 110 lbs. DNA shows he is 50% Giant Schnauzer, 25% American Pit Bull Terrier, 18% Staffordshire Terrier, and 7% American Bulldog. He is black, neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. Max has a calm, laid-back temperament. He is quiet indoors (barks only when alerted), comfortable with fireworks and gunshots, and well-socialized with other dogs. He loves to chase others when playing at the dog park and a good dog wrestling match. He spends most of his time indoors but enjoys relaxing in a shaded backyard. He knows sit and stay and walks well on a leash. He has not been around cats. We are rehoming due to frequent overnight work travel and want him in a stable home with consistent companionship. A securely fenced yard and experience with large breeds preferred.

Story
This is Copper! He is my best pal, he joined our family when we had just two kids and has been with us to welcome three more since then. He’s been with us for three moves, our most recent from Colorado to Texas. We’ve had him for 7 years- since he was a 10 week old puppy. He’s an incredibly loyal, loving, happy, goofy, sweet boy. Unfortunately, in the last few months he has become incredibly anxious to the point that he gets worked up just when he hears our kids laughing. Because of this, I would not feel comfortable rehiring him to someone with little kids. He’d be best in a calm, stable environment with someone who is home often (I’ve been a stay at home mom all this time), can walk him and play fetch, who is looking for an adventure buddy! Older, calm kids would be okay. We’re looking for someone who has experience with cattle dogs as they are full of special quirks 😜. He’s a really good dog, just needs a different environment to thrive in.

Hi! My Name is Hank! A.K.A Hank the Tank; Hank Hill. I am one of the sweetest boys out there! I love pets and attention. I listen really well when treats (milk bones) are involved. I love napping and playing with my siblings. I look almost just like my mom. I was the first born out of my family. Hank was born on Mothers Day 2025. He is a good boy and listens very well. He is from a litter of 6. His mom is a mini Aussie. We are not sure what the dad is. He is about 40 lbs.

Story
Meet Freckles — an energetic and cheerful girl with an adorable cropped tail! She loves to run, do zoomies in the yard, and play with older children. While she’s full of fun, she’s also quite strong and could accidentally knock over smaller kids. Freckles enjoys lounging on the couch or in a recliner and has a mostly laid-back personality, though she gets playful when the mood strikes. She may bark at unfamiliar faces but is generally calm and well-mannered. She’s crate trained, primarily lives indoors, and loves outdoor playtime. Freckles will need a large yard with a secure privacy fence, as she’s clever and might try to find an escape route. Freckles doesn’t do well with small dogs or cats, and we’re not sure how she would do with larger dogs. Because of this, she’d be a perfect match for someone looking to give all their love to one special dog. I’m not entirely sure of her breed -she’s a wonderful companion looking for the right home. Thank you for learning about her!
