Story
Knox is a 2-year-old (as of March 28th) Dutch Shepherd mix with the sweetest heart and the biggest love for his people. He truly lives up to the phrase gentle giant. If you are looking for a loyal, affectionate companion who wants to be by your side, Knox is your guy. Knox absolutely loves sleep, playing with his toys, and eating (especially treats!). His favorite thing in the world, though, is physical affection. He constantly wants to be rubbed, touched, or close to someone. His personal favorite is having his paw held while he relaxes next to you. He thrives on connection and will happily cuddle for hours. He is housebroken but, like many young dogs, he can have occasional accidents when he gets very excited. Knox is not yet neutered, which may contribute to this, but overall he does very well with routine and consistency. Knox is great with children and small dogs and has shown a gentle and patient personality. He has been indifferent toward large dogs.

APPLICATION LINK: https://shaynesrescue.com/adoption-application-pet-central-satx/ We must have an application to move forward. HOLIDAY SPECIAL!!! Jack is a male Shepherd mix, about 5 yrs old. He weighs 45#. He is a good dog... no aggression but also no training. He has been getting some leash training of which he's doing very well. This guy needs to have a companion to take him everywhere, go on hikes, and maybe even swimming. He loves people and is great with other dogs. He does need daily exercise but I’m sure he will calm down after he knows he’s in a forever home and gets his love and exercise every day. He deserves a second chance…he needs someone who believes in him! Check our You Tube Video: https://youtu.be/zawD9-77Oxs This dog is CURRENTLY IN TEXAS and available for pre-adoption. Adoptions include neuter/spay, vaccinations (DHPP, Bordetella, Rabies), microchip, health certificate, transport with our professional dog transporter, and 6 mos of heart worm prevention. You will receive the dog's folder with all the printouts proving the medical treatments received. You can ask us about how pre-adoption works and our "trial period." Adoption Fee: Includes all of the vetting and transportation to WA/OR. If you have any questions or would like an e-mail from us as to how all of this works, text me (Terry); identify the dog's name and give me your email address... 210-394-6060. You can also go to our Facebook page... https://www.facebook.com/Pet-Central-SATX-866684826744181/ and LIKE us to help us out.

Story
😍Adorable Ridgely! 😍 Ridgely is in need of new foster placement or a foster to adopt family! His current foster family loves him, but they are gone too long each day at work, and Ridgley seems to be struggling with some separation anxiety. He would do best with a foster or potential adopter who is home more of the day to give him to love and attention his little heart deserves. His foster family writes: He was estimated at the shelter to be about 3 years old and a Dutch Shepherd Mix, based on his beautiful brindle coloring, but his foster family thinks he’s a Plott Hound mix and possibly a bit younger. He still needs to be neutered and will be covered by the rescue! ⭐ Facts about handsome ridgely: ⭐ -Is a Velcro dog and wants to follow you around the house and stay close. -Is sweet and affectionate and loves to be snuggled and allows you to touch him anywhere. - loves children -Is active and needs regular walks and playtime outside. -Loves to ride in the car and will go to the car door when you announce it’s time. -Knows sit, stay, wait (instead of heal), and has just learned to shake. His is eager to learn and to please. -Is housebroken and accident free. -Does not guard his food at all. -Is friendly with other dogs and does not bark at them, even when provoked. But he does go toward them out of curiousity and wants to play. -Has a strong prey drive. He wants to chase birds, rabbits, squirrels, you name it, so he would probably do best with no small pets. -Walks well on a leash. Pulls in new places, but he’s getting better all the time. Ridgely is going to make someone an awesome pet and best friend. We are sad it can’t be us but you will love this sweetheart as much as we do! ❤️ www.happygoluckymastiffrescue.com

Story
Meet Sara — Your New Best Friend in a Perfectly Trained, 45-Pound Package of Love At just 20 months old, Miss Sara is already proving to be the kind of once-in-a-lifetime dog everyone hopes for—smart, affectionate, eager to please, and now… beautifully trained. Originally adopted as a puppy, Sara was very loved—but when her owner sadly fell ill and could no longer care for her, everything changed. She returned to us with a heart full of love, but without the manners every young pup needs. We knew this girl had potential, so off she went to a professional 3-week training program… and wow, is she showing off. &#226&#156&#133 Training? She’s nailing it. &#226&#156&#133 People? She adores them. &#226&#156&#133 Dogs? Instant besties. &#226&#156&#133 Kids? She belly-crawls just to be close to them—it’s beyond precious. We believe she’s a Dutch Shepherd mix, weighing in at about 45 pounds, with a gorgeous, sleek coat and a heart that beats for human connection. She is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccines—and yes, ready to go! Now, she’s just looking for a home that can match her devotion with love and guidance. Toys are her jam, and she’ll happily entertain herself or join you for a game of fetch. No kitties for this girl, please! Chasing them is just too much fun, and she needs a cat-free home to thrive. Sara is the kind of dog who makes you feel like the most important person in the world. Her loyalty is unmatched, her spirit is bright, and her readiness for her forever home couldn’t be clearer. Interested in giving this beautiful girl her happily-ever-after? Email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com today. Let Sara show you what love, intelligence, and a second chance can really look like. PLEASE NOTE:   Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.  Request an application and learn more about Critter Cavalry at https://www.crittercavalry.com/adoption.June 11, 2025, 9:36 pm
