You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Anna! Anna had a rough start in life—she was born on November 30, 2024, on the streets of San Antonio, alongside her eight siblings. Her feral mother had been surviving on her own for quite some time, raising multiple litters on the streets. Thankfully, with the help of Anna and her siblings, we were able to gain her mother’s trust and bring them all to safety. Now, Anna is thriving! She is a playful, sweet, and loving puppy who adores people. She may be a little shy at first, but give her a few minutes, and she’ll be bouncing around, ready to play! As of February 26, 2025, she weighs 11.6 pounds, but she’s expected to grow to around 45 pounds. Anna is ready to find her forever home! Her adoption fee is $300, and she is available through A Doggie 4 You. If you're interested in adopting this sweet girl, apply today at www.adoggie4you.org. Could Anna be the missing piece of your family? This dog is currently in Texas; however, it can be transported to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington KY, or all along the East Coast.

Meet Tempe! Tempe and her siblings came to us in very rough shape, skinny little babies who needed a kind and understanding heart to show them that not all people are bad. Through lots of love and care (and plenty of kibble!) We were able to get all of her litter back into good shape, happy, and growing. Tempe herself is a great dog: very loving, friendly and energetic. She gets along well with people, children and other dogs. Could probably use some more exposure with cats. She's a water dog! She loves playing and drinking water, but she drinks on her own terms. Tempe has done really well at our local adoption events but is still looking for her forever family! Local adoption fee is $250 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $500 (includes transport to your area - $50 Temporary Fuel Charge will be added)

Story
Belgian Malinois mix puppies You MUST have breed specific or similar breed experience Who understand the absolute intensity of these kids Their Mama is a purebred Mal and we suspect dad to be shepherd but don't know for sure. Please note We are always picky on our applications but this breed requires a different owner and we will be tenacious on that These puppies are high energy and with high intelligence. At just 5 wks old they were learning an obstacle course that the foster made inside the house to focus some mental energy. At 6 wks old they learned sit and what the treat bag meant so we've changed it up.  They are-Mouthy Smart Driven Intense And require homes that understand they are dogs and need very active homes, mental games and jobs to do. No chain link fences or you must have a plan. A chain link fence is just a game to them and they will climb it, maybe not right away but it won't take long until they do. You cannot be lax.. They will OWN YOU Special Note- Razor's cherry eye will be fixed when he gets neutered at 8 wks. Local adoption fee is $250 (in TX)Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Meet Rainier – A Spirited and Loyal Companion! Rainier is a stunning 7-year-old Belgian Malinois who may have a little seniority in age but still has the energy and zest of a much younger pup! This incredible girl has so much life left in her and is eager to find a forever family that will cherish her. Rainier has been treated for heartworms and has fully completed her treatment. To ensure she stays protected, several months of heartworm prevention will be included with her adoption at no additional cost. She is house-trained, crate-trained, spayed, microchipped, and up-to-date on all vaccines and preventions—completely ready to start her next chapter! With a strong prey drive, Rainier takes her role as Squirrel Patrol Enforcement Officer very seriously. While she’s not the best match for a home with cats (she finds their zoomies irresistible to chase), she’s fantastic with kids and gets along well with other dogs, often showing a sweet and submissive side in canine company. Despite her age, Rainier is still full of adventure and would make an excellent companion for someone looking for a loyal, fun-loving, and devoted dog. If you’re searching for a faithful friend with a big heart and an even bigger personality, Rainier is ready to meet you! Submit your adoption application today—this wonderful girl is waiting to brighten your life! 🐾❤️ $200 Local Adoption Fee (in Texas) $450 Out of State Fee (includes transport to your area)
