Story
Kaylani is a sweet pup I found standing in the road at a stop light looking into vehicles. At first I passed her by but went back later and she was still in the road. She was hesitant to get in my vehicle. I think she was hoping for her owner to come back. :( when she did get in, she knew how. She is behaved in the house and is Ok in the yard but I know it is hot for her out there in Texas heat. I have cats in a fenced area in my yard and she seems interested in them but doesn’t bark or scare them. I have seen her chase a small snake out of my yard and chase a possum out of my yard so she has earned her keep :) she needs someone to love. She is always so happy to see me. I can’t give her the attention she needs.

Story
The first time I got Rosie, no one wanted her because of her breed. She is the sweetest dog in the world. She loves to play and run around. I’ve never been able to give her a yard to run around in for freedom. She loves to go outside. She is so sympathetic and just wants to live a free life.

Story
Dallas is a good dog, however he isn’t a good fit for my home due to not having another dog companion- he likes to have play buddies and due to him not having one, he has an excess of energy and will try to play with me. He works wonderfully with other dogs from what I’ve seen, we go to the dog park regularly and he has not once gotten into a single fight.

Squid

Female, Senior
Tyler, TX
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Squid is a very sweet, friendly, and loving dog-- she LOVES being a lap dog, and is a cuddler. She's a senior dog and has lower energy levels, but still enjoys fetch. She was my mom's dog, but my mom had a bad stroke which left her using a wheelchair and a walker. She and Squid now live with me, but I am allergic to dogs, and we are in a small cramped apartment. I work full-time while going to college, so my hands are incredibly full, and my mom is no longer physically able to tend to Squid like she used to, or or take her on walks when I'm at work/classes. This has been a huge struggle for us all. She is iffy around other dogs-- she can warm up to them over time, but patience is needed to let her get comfy and warm up. Not great around small animals/kittens. My mom is not sure about her health, but she says she has some dental issues. As much as it breaks my heart, we want Squid to be able to go to a home better suited for dogs, especially one with a yard. Thank you so much!

Charlotte

Border Collie Hound (Unknown Type)

Female, Senior
Tyler, TX
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Charlotte is a sweet 16-year-old collie mix that my family has had since she was a puppy. By many twists of fate, I have ended up as her sole caretaker, a position I am not suited for as I am wholeheartedly a cat person and struggle with the needs and mess of a dog. I am also 26 and have had my freedom hindered by dog caretaking for the last 3 years and I am seeking to find her a home where that will not be an issue. She is an old dog and mostly sleeps, but she is still mobile and enjoys going outside. She has multiple health issues including arthritis and heartworms which she takes medication for, but otherwise she is relatively low-maintenance. She does have a tendency to snap if pet too roughly; I believe this is a combination of her being almost blind and in pain from arthritis. She has never actually bitten anyone, just made a show of barking. Charlotte is in need of a home where she will be wanted and appreciated, which is not something I can provide for her.
