Story
We got Bailey on June of 2020 as a puppy. She is an AKC yellow lab. She has been a great dog but due to relocating we no longer will have a suitable yard for a large dog. Bailey is good with kids and other pets. She is very smart, a quick learner and knows basic obedience skills. She is crate trained and house broken. She would make a great addition to any home.

Story
Meet Sopapilla – Your Sweet and Spunky Sidekick! 🐾✨ Just like her name, Sopapilla is a little bit sweet and a whole lot of fun! This affectionate girl is as snuggly as they come—if you’re sitting down, she’s likely to curl up next to you or sneak in a quick cuddle. But don’t let that soft side fool you—Sopapilla is also confident, clever, and full of playful energy! She’s a fast learner and super smart, especially when there are treats involved (and let’s be honest, she’s very food motivated). Whether it’s learning new tricks, picking up routines, or figuring out how to get you to give her just one more belly rub, Sopapilla is always thinking a few steps ahead. She loves car rides, toys, and making new friends—both human and canine. Her friendly nature makes her a joy to take on adventures, and her enthusiasm is contagious. From zoomies in the yard to quiet cuddle time on the couch, Sopapilla is the perfect balance of fun and affection. If you're looking for a smart, loving, and endlessly entertaining best friend, Sopapilla is ready to steal your heart and never give it back. 💛 DOB 1.1.25 He mom was a pharoah hound mix, dad could possibly be a great dane! Adoption fee includes all vaccines and spay - appointment set for August 7.

Story
🐾 Meet Baby Girl – The Sweetheart with a Spicy Side! 🐾 Baby Girl’s story almost ended too soon. Surrendered to a high-kill shelter when her owner could no longer care for her, she was running out of time… until an East Texas rescue stepped in and saved her life. Now this 5-year-old, 20-pound beauty is living her second chance to the fullest — and she’s ready for her forever home! Baby Girl is fully vetted, housebroken, crate trained, and doggie door savvy. She knows all the important words: no, outside, potty, go for a ride, and especially let's eat! Smart and sassy, she’s the full chihuahua package with that classic chihuahua confidence and charm. She gets along great with the dogs in her foster home, enjoys lounging beside her foster mom in the recliner, and loves nothing more than running outside with the wind in her ears — no matter the weather. Baby Girl is loyal, loving, and just the right mix of cuddles and character. If you're looking for a small dog with a big heart and even bigger personality, she’s your girl. 💕 Apply today and give Baby Girl the forever home she’s waited for.

Story
Sweet, smart, and oh-so-loving, Joe is ready to steal your heart. His mom is a Rat Terrier and his dad seems to have been a Lab or maybe a Hound, giving him a wonderful mix of smarts and sweetness. Joe is already showing off how clever he is—he’s house trained, dog door trained, and crate trained. He’s learning good manners too, like waiting calmly before heading outside. This boy loves being with his people and playing with other dogs. He’s adventurous and curious, but at the end of the day, what Joe really wants most is to be close to those he loves. If you’re looking for a loyal pup who’s both playful and snuggly, Joe is waiting to be your best friend! Foster to adopt is a great way to see if Joe is the perfect fit for your family.

Story
This sweet, timid girl is looking for her forever home! Betty is 1 yr old, about 45 lbs, fully vetted and current on preventatives, great with big dogs (like obsessed with big dogs) but not good with small dogs, and likely not cats either, crate trained, house trained. Betty came from a sad, neglectful situation (with 9 other siblings and a few adults). Dogs help her come out of her shell. She could be an only dog if her human had plenty of time to spend with her. Two of her sisters are in other foster homes and four have been adopted and are THRIVING! Now it's her turn!
