Story
Promise they don't get much better than this one! Insanely friendly but protective Texas Heeler. 2 years old House broke Shots up to date - Healthy Come on command, listens and obeys well. Loves to play catch with the ball and Frisbee. Has new bag of food, kennel, bowls, blanket...everything you will need. Absolutely beautify loving dog. So WHY are we letting her go? We sold everything and bought an RV. Poor dog needs a yard and attention which we can't give her. Honestly we feel really bad for her. She would do well with children or on a farm. We want to ensure she goes to a proper home. We will do some vetting. She is a dream puppy for sure.

Story
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!

Meet Gilley - a handsome 2 year old young man! His mom was a Dalmatian mix and his dad was a heeler mix. He’s neutered, chipped, house and crate trained, walks well on a leash. He gets along great with other dogs and cats and people / children. His family was found under a house that was blown up by a meth lab in East TX, the previous owner left the dogs there. He and his sister, Callie, are living in a wonderful foster home and are ready for their own furever families!
