Story
Meet Jericho and Jagger— 2-year-old brothers with matching soulful eyes and big, gentle hearts. These boys have spent their early years without much human interaction, so the world is still a new and sometimes overwhelming place for them. But together, they find comfort, confidence, and courage.Jericho is the braver of the two, often leading the way with cautious curiosity, while Jagger tends to hang back, watching his brother for reassurance. They’ve come a long way since arriving at the shelter, slowly learning to trust, accept affection, and even enjoy the occasional tail-wagging moment of play.Because they were never properly socialized, Max and Moose will need a very special home—one that’s calm, patient, and experienced with shy or fearful dogs. A quiet environment with a secure yard and lots of love will go a long way in helping these brothers continue their journey. They may never be the life of the party, but they will be incredibly loyal companions to the person who sees their potential and gives them the time and space they need to bloom.

Meet Rex ! — a bright, confident, pup who’s ready to find his forever family! (REX currently lives with his foster family in Texas, He will be transported through Project Freedom Ride when he's adopted) Rex was the first male puppy to walk right up to his foster and ask for attention, and that bold, loving nature has stayed with him. He’s incredibly intelligent, always watching his foster for cues, and already knows sit and down. Among his brothers, Rex has naturally taken on the role of leader, guiding them with calm confidence. Sadly, Rex, his momma, and his siblings were left to fend for themselves on the streets of a small rural Texas town until a kind couple opened their home to keep them safe. Now Rex is growing into a wonderful young dog with so much love to give. If you’re looking for a smart, affectionate pup with a big heart and an even bigger future, Rex is your boy.

Meet Buster – a sweet, not so graceful pup ! (Buster is currently living with his foster family in Texas, he will be transported through PFR when he is adopted) Buster is a handsome pup with a wonderfully laid-back personality. This sweet boy is a bit of a gentle goof—sometimes clumsy, always endearing—and he’s guaranteed to make you smile. He loves to wrestle and play with one of his brothers, but when it’s time to relax, Buster is happy to just hang out and soak up affection. Buster is currently working on his basic commands and is eager to learn with a patient, loving family. He, his momma, and siblings were left to fend for themselves on the streets of a small rural Texas town until a kind couple took them in and gave them safety and care.

If you’re looking for a sweet, easygoing pup with a big heart and a silly side, Buster may be your perfect match.
