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
Sadie came to me from a family member about 3 years ago. She’s a wonderful girl, loving and loyal. However, she is a little slow to warm up but once she does, she’s a loyal protector. She is also food aggressive and needs to the the only pet in the home. She wants to give affection and receive attention. She’s a good girl that needs a specific type of great home!

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.

I need to find a home for my sweet Lucy bear. I picked her up when she was starving and wandering in the middle of the road two years ago and have been caring for her ever since. She is a sweetheart to people but is not good with other animals. Please share with anyone you think could give Lucy a loving home.

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!
