Story
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
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)

Story
Meet Max – Your Future Adventure Buddy! Max is a handsome 1-year-old Belgian Malinois who is ready to find his perfect match! True to his breed, Max is full of energy, enthusiasm, and love. He adores people of all ages, including kids, and lights up when it's time to play a game of fetch — his absolute favorite! Max was recently neutered, and while he’s still a little extra curious about the lady dogs in his foster home, we know this will settle down with time. In the meantime, he’s channeling his energy into toys, games, and lots of affection for his humans. As a young adult Malinois, Max has endless potential for someone who understands and appreciates the working dog mindset. We are requiring that Max’s adopter have prior experience with Belgian Malinois (or similar working breeds) and be fully prepared to embrace life with a "fur missile" — because that's exactly what Max is: fast, smart, loyal, and ready for action! If you're looking for an incredible companion who will be your ride-or-die buddy through all of life's adventures, Max is your guy. Max is neutered, microchipped, up-to-date on vaccinations and preventions, and ready to find his forever home! $200 Local Adoption Fee (in Texas) $450 Out of State Fee (includes transport to your area)
