Story
**Petal is currently being fostered in HOUSTON TX but is available for adoption out of state via rescue transport, no added fees. All adopters are offered video chat to meet the dogs face to face PRIOR to committing to adoption. We accept returns on all of our animals at little to no cost depending on your location** Petal is a sweet, gentle young dog whose confidence has grown tremendously since coming into foster care. She can be a little shy when meeting new people, but once she feels comfortable, she is affectionate and loves neck scratches. She knows basic commands, walks nicely on a leash, and enjoys spending time with both people and other dogs. One of her favorite things is being around puppies. She has been wonderful with the foster puppies in my care and seems to genuinely enjoy their companionship and playful energy. Before I took her in, she had been living outside in the neighborhood. I don't know how she does with cats, but I never observed her chasing them while she was outside. As she's settled into foster care, she's become more confident and has recently found her voice a little, but she's generally a calm dog. She's somewhat independent while still enjoying being part of the family and participating in whatever everyone else is doing. Although she's grown some since I first took her in, she hasn't grown as much as I would have expected for a typical German Shepherd mix and appears likely to remain a medium-sized dog. Petal would do well with someone who will continue building her confidence while appreciating her gentle nature. She has been a joy to foster and deserves a loving home where she can continue to thrive. The last picture shows where she was found on the streets.

Story
Sunny is ready to travel to a community that will truly cherish her as a family member. She is currently in Oklahoma at our rescue. Because we want her transition to be as smooth as possible, we arrange direct-to-adopter transport to specific cities (listed below!). Adoptions are finalized in advance so that Sunny can hop off the transport and right into your waiting arms. We stand by our pups for life. In the rare event it isn't a perfect match, Sunny is never without a safety net; she will simply return to our care in Oklahoma on the next available transport until her perfect home is found. Meet Sunny! Age: 7 months old (Birthday: February 27, 2026) Gender: Female Breed Mix: Possible Chiweenie Mix Size: Estimated to grow to medium-sized (currently around 25 lbs in early September) Sunny is a gorgeous, gentle young pup looking for a loving, understanding family to call her own! She and her siblings were surrendered to us after we helped get their mom and dad fixed, and now she is ready for a peaceful home where she can flourish. Personality & Traits: The Ultimate Low-Rider: Sunny takes the award for being the absolute lowest to the ground of the whole litter! With her super cute short legs and a stunning, vibrant red coat, she is a real head-turner. Gentle & Timid Heart: Sunny is the most timid of her siblings and takes a little extra time to build up her confidence when meeting new people or encountering new situations. She has a very sweet, soft soul and doesn't have an aggressive bone in her body—she just needs a tender touch. Great with Other Dogs: Having canine companions around really helps Sunny feel secure! She is currently kenneled with her siblings, and they happily share their space, food, and water without any trouble. Cats & Felines: Sunny has not been formally tested living indoors with cats, but she is exposed to the outdoor cats roaming around our rescue grounds. Given her gentle nature, she should do just fine with cats as long as she is taught proper manners and boundaries—which are usually set by the cat! Ideal Home: Sunny needs a patient, low-pressure home that will give her the time and space to come out of her shell at her own pace. Because of her timid nature, a quiet home with children aged 5 and up would be the best fit for her. If you have a gentle heart and a patient home for a shy, red-coated "low-rider" beauty, Sunny will reward you with boundless sweetness as she learns to trust! Video of Sunny from August 27: https://youtube.com/shorts/yrNZq4nErCI?is=4gMiy84P5kxinpKL The adoption includes: Fully Vetted: Sunny is already spayed and up-to-date on all her essential vaccinations (Rabies, DHLPP, and Bordetella). Prevention: She has been dewormed and is kept on monthly flea, tick, and heartworm prevention. She tested heartworm negative. Safety First: To ensure she is in tip-top shape for her new family, she will be microchipped and receive a fresh fecal exam and a certified Health Certificate. All performed within 10 days of her transport date. Adoption Details Sunny's adoption fee is $900. This fee is all-inclusive, covering her spay, all veterinary care listed above, and her seat on a professional transport service dedicated to getting her safely to your area.
