Story
Zoey is the best dog out there. She’s smart, fun, and energetic. She loves all people and other dogs. Zoey needs more stimulation and space than we can provide. We are looking for someone who has land so she can run free all day. She needs a lot of mental and physical stimulation and has destructive behaviors when not stimulated enough. She’s friendly and has never harmed anyone.

Story
I am a fun loving, goofy girl. I'm so happy, I wiggle when I walk! My last person didn't want me anymore and now I crave that special person who will love me as much as I love them. My biggest pleasure in life is to make you happy and laugh. I might look like a stiff wind is hitting me from the side, but it only adds to my silly, quirky personality. I haven't met a person yet that I don't like. In fact, I LOVE everybody. I'm great at cuddles too and I'm so good at being calm and respectful, just give me a few minutes to get over my eagerness to meet you. I work really hard at greeting you with a sit, but sometimes I'm so HAPPY to meet you I might forget my manners and jump, but I quickly stop when you remind me. I'm very good in my crate and I'm house trained. I promise to adore you for the rest of my life. I love playing ball like it is my middle name. Would you like to be my forever person?.

Story
Anna…. She immediately connects with most any person she meets. She enjoys doggy activities but her favorite activity is simply being with you. Deeply snuggling, relaxing. She loves walks, car rides, rubber ball retrieval or lying near you Anna doesn’t just live she thrives on her/your daily routine. If you have a busy day, that’s OK she will spend her day watching you work. She is smart, food motivated and eager to please. Her personality and intelligence make her a great student. She has most of the basic commands mastered and is already house and crate trained. She is ready for that next big step in her life. Remember Anna is a book with only a sentence or two in each paragraph. She is waiting for you to finish her life’s story with her. Someone will get a great companion who would love to spend her day on your schedule. Anna has all the right ingredients; wouldn’t you like to bake the cake?

Story
Helloooo! My name is Sugar, and once I feel safe and settled, I absolutely live up to my name. I can take a little time to warm up to new places and new people, but give me a moment and you’ll see my soft, affectionate side come shining through.My story started a little rough. I was found living outdoors with my sister, learning how to survive on my own alongside a creek in Texas. Because of that, I can be a bit cautious at first, but I’ve come a long way and am learning that the world isn’t such a scary place anymore.These days, my ideal afternoon looks a lot less “survival mode” and a lot more “picnic blanket and pets.” I love stretching out in the grass, rolling around, and soaking up attention from my favorite people. I’m gentle, sweet, and will happily lean in for more love—sometimes even reaching out to keep the pets coming.I’m a nice walking buddy and enjoy getting out to explore at my own pace. New things can still surprise me (honking geese were…a lot), so I’m looking for a home that will help me build confidence and take things slow when I need it. I ride great in the car and settle in nicely once I’m comfortable.I’m also a smart girl! I already know cues like sit, stay, shake, and down, and I’m very food-motivated—which means I’m eager and ready to keep learning with you.I’ve lived with other dogs before and would really benefit from having a confident dog friend in my new home to help show me the ropes. I’ve also been around cats—if they run, I might think it’s a game, but I’ve never shown any aggression.One thing to know about me: I can be a little protective of my favorite toys, food, or cozy spaces when other dogs are around. I do great with people, though—no worries there. With some thoughtful management and continued training, I’ll keep improving.I’m house-trained, kennel-trained, and happiest when I’m close to my people. More than anything, I just want to feel safe, loved, and understood.If you’re looking for a gentle, resilient girl who just needs a little patience to blossom into the sweetest companion, I might be your SugarMedical History: I appear to be a healthy pup, but it`s always a good idea to set up an appointment with your vet soon after adoption so we can meet each other!Weight: ~ 44lbsRestrictions: Only Teens or older. Would like to go home with another dog, but this is not a requirement. Must be fed separately from other dogs. No cats.
