Story
Deva is around 1 yrs old and 26 lbs. Deva is a delicate soul with a heart full of love, just waiting for the right family to help her feel safe and secure. She is very shy and skittish, especially around new environments or loud, unpredictable sounds. But beneath that hesitation is a deeply affectionate pup who simply wants to be loved. Deva thrives in the company of other dogs and blossoms when she’s around calm, friendly canine companions. Because she’s a little nervous around toddlers, a quiet home with adults and other dogs would be her ideal match. A home with a large backyard is recommended as she is afraid of walking on leash. While she may take time to warm up, Deva deserves a chance to be part of a patient, understanding family who will see the gentle beauty behind her timid exterior. With love and time, she’ll reward you with loyalty, affection, and the quiet joy of watching her confidence grow.

Story
🆘 FOSTER NEEDED BEFORE MARCH 17! 🆘 Mateo’s story is heartbreaking… but his spirit is nothing short of incredible. ❤️‍🩹 Mateo was left to die on the side of the road in Mexico after being struck by a vehicle. He lay there in the dirt under the scorching sun until someone finally got him to a vet. Sadly, the amputation performed there was botched so once Mateo made it to the U.S., he had to endure two more surgeries 😨😱 to properly amputate his leg and repair the damage leaving him mostly immobile and incontinent. On a positive note Mateo has discovered the joy of his doggie wheelchair — and he absolutely LOVES it! 🐾 Once he’s in his chair, he zooms around, plays, and enjoys life just like any other dog. After everything he’s been through, his joy and resilience are truly inspiring. ‼️ Mateo is available for adoption, but we also have an urgent need for a temporary foster home by March 17. ‼️ We know he may require some extra care, so we’re looking for a very special person — someone with a huge heart and unconditional love who is willing to help this sweet boy continue healing. Mateo has already survived the unimaginable. Now he just needs someone to believe in him. ❤️ Mateo is a German Pincher mix, is 2 years old and approximately 29 lbs.

Story
Meet Oliver, our 2-year-old heart-stealer. He’s the definition of smooth — calm eyes, soft soul, and that quiet confidence that says, “I’ve got this.” Oliver isn’t in a rush for anything. He’s the kind of dog who observes first, then decides whether to nap, cuddle, or charm you with his mellow grin. He’s independent, gentle, and the ultimate adventure companion — big enough to join you anywhere, small enough to fit right into your arms. We rescued his mom and litter during a heavy storm, all soaked and shivering — and from that moment, Oliver has been our reminder that peace can come after chaos. He’s crate and potty trained, loves every dog he meets, and carries this quiet, lovable energy that makes you instantly melt. But don’t let his calm fool you — Oliver also loves to play, explore, and have fun wherever he goes. He’s the perfect mix of chill and cheerful, and a true romantic at heart — sensitive, loyal, and endlessly cuddly. Oliver is ready to live his Dulce Vida — the sweet life he’s always deserved. PS. Yes, I was eating peanut butter when they took my pictures — they should’ve cleaned my lips first, right? - Oliver.

Story
Hi I'm Bear I can be shy and a bit nervous when I first meet people because of my past but after you give me a little time and space to come greet you I get comfortable and I can be very talkative and cuddly. I've never been around children or cats and I'm weary of other dogs depending on size because I was attacked as a puppy. I love sleeping under the blanket if allowed. My current human unfortunately is in the military and getting deployed and she can't take me . She says I'm a sweet little soul and I deserve a loving home. I might not be the perfect confident pup but give me the opportunity to show you that I can be more confident with your love and structure. If you want to meet me please reach out to Celeste phone # 832-602-6900 celestee101@yahoo.comMarch 8, 2026, 8:45 pm
