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 $300(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Meet Bebe Looking for a gentle, shy, and oh-so-sweet pup to love? Bebe is your girl! This German Shepherd/Pitty mix has the perfect blend of brains, beauty, and heart. She's great with cats, dogs, and kids, making her a wonderful fit for a loving family. Though she's still learning the ropes of life like potty training and crate training, she shines brightest when she's playing with her siblings or soaking up head scratches and giving kisses. Bebe's story started when her brave mom, abandoned by her owner, found safety at her foster home to give birth. Dad has been faithfully by Mom's side for years, and together they've raised a litter of wonderful pups like Bebe. She may start off a little shy, but once she warms up, you'll see her fun side shine. Bebe loves to run and play with her siblings (she's the fastest of the bunch!) and will happily be your mellow cuddle buddy when it's time to rest. If you're looking for a pup who will adore you as much as you adore her, Bebe is waiting to meet you! Go ahead and submit an adoption application for her now! Favorite toy: Her siblings Best rub spot: Right between the eyes Hidden skill: Outrunning everyone at playtime!

WILDFIRE HERE — AND I’M READY TO SET YOUR HEART ON FIRE! Hi, hoomans! I’m Wildfire, and before we get started, let me just say… I’m not actually on fire. I’m just REALLY excited about life. I’m a high-energy, fun-loving guy who believes sitting around doing nothing is highly overrated. Got a ball? I’m in. Going for a walk? LET’S GO! Adventure? I already grabbed my shoes! I need a family who understands that I come with FULL BATTERY MODE . I love playing, exploring, learning, and keeping my brain busy. Puzzle toys, training, games, walks, adventures, enrichment—I want it ALL! If you’re looking for a couch potato, I respectfully suggest you keep scrolling. But don’t worry—I’m not just a handsome face with a ridiculous amount of energy. I’m also a GOOD BOY™! ✅ Crate trained — I know how to chill in my own little suite. ✅ Potty trained — Because nobody likes surprise presents on the carpet. ✅ Great with other dogs — I love having furry friends! ✅ Great with kids — More people to play with? YES! ✅ Professional fun-haver — I have extensive experience. I’m looking for my FOREVER FAMILY, not just a temporary pit stop. I want someone who will keep me active, give me lots of mental stimulation, continue my training, and let me be part of the family. In exchange, I promise to provide unlimited laughs, zoomies, kisses, entertainment, and unconditional love. So if you’re an active family looking for a goofy, energetic, social guy who is ready to make your life approximately 87% more fun, I think we need to talk. Come meet me. I’ll bring the personality. You bring the treats. Deal? Love, Wildfire Local adoption fee is $350(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $650 (includes transport to your area)

Penelope is a gentle soul with a shy side, but don’t let that fool you—once she trusts you, she’ll be your shadow and your most loyal companion. She may take a little time to warm up, but with patience and love, you’ll watch her blossom into a sweet, affectionate girl who loves to stay close by your side. She does best with a confident canine buddy who can show her the ropes and help her feel secure in new situations. Once she’s comfortable, Penelope’s playful personality starts to shine—she loves splashing around in the water, exploring the yard, and then curling up for cozy snuggles during movie nights. Penelope would thrive in a calmer home where she can relax and feel safe. If things get too busy or loud, she’ll quietly retreat to her favorite peaceful spot to recharge. With her gentle nature and soft heart, she’s the perfect mix of heartwarming loyalty and quiet charm—just waiting for the right person to bring her fully out of her shell. Are you ready to earn her trust and win her heart? Penelope is waiting for you. Local adoption fee is $200(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)

Have you ever seen a big doggy PUPPY? Well if you saw my pics, you have NOW! I have a perpetual puppy face, so very cute! I am a great boy and would LOVE a busy family to do fun stuff with then to just hang out relaxing with. I came to the rescue so long ago that all my family has been adopted and I'm still waiting ................... My rescue friends and can't figure out why. I'm a smart, friendly, happy and busy boy. I'd love someone to take life one adventure at a time with. If you know the Belgian Malinois breed you know that exercising my body is good, but it just makes me stronger and have more stamina ;) So you have to ALSO exercise my brain and I'm open to all the fun ways to do that! I love to be challenged and want to LEARN what you want me to do to be your new bestest friend!! I 'd love a nice family who will hike, bike, run, swim and play with me! I have a heart of gold and am ready to shine it right on your family, ADOPT ME!!! Dodger is house trained, leash trained, crate trained and loves car rides.

Raven is my name and kind of like a raven, I am a 'loner'... except for the puppies i had when I arrived at the rescue... I was saved by a trapper on the streets, they weren't even there to save ME that day, but they did!!! I am obviously a beautiful girl, big and solid as well as black and brindly. I am a loving girl, in my own way... i lived on the streets for who knows how long and I honestly am not a cuddly girl or even a sit by your feet dog, YET... I have all kinds of love to give, you can see in my eyes that I have always dreamed of someone with the patience to love me for who I am and who I can be!! I am great on a leash and do love walking around and exploring. I am good with other dogs and likely would do best with another dog who is calm and confident with his/her family. I am so so ready for you, I have the shepherd double coat so I will shed in your house, must have a great vacuum cleaner and tolerance of hair :) Local adoption fee is $300(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Meet Mora! A Brilliant, Loving Belgian Malinois Looking for Her Perfect Match! Mora is a stunning, approximately 2-year-old Belgian Malinois weighing around 75 pounds. While we believe she may be purebred, we cannot confirm her lineage. What we do know is that her intelligence, energy, and drive are everything you'd expect from a Malinois! Mora is incredibly loving and thrives on engagement with her humans. Her absolute favorite activity is fetch, and she could happily chase a tennis ball all day! Hide her favorite ball, and she'll put that brilliant mind to work finding it. She's also already house trained and crate trained! We don't know much about Mora's history, although it appears she recently had a litter of puppies. Now she's ready to find a forever home where she can be someone's beloved companion. Mora's Personality and Ideal Home Mora is affectionate, intelligent, athletic, and powerful. At approximately 75 pounds, she needs someone comfortable handling a large, high-drive working dog. She doesn't seem particularly fond of other dogs and would likely thrive as an only dog. However, with slow, structured introductions, she may be able to coexist with a larger, compatible dog. Dog parks and uncontrolled interactions with unfamiliar dogs are not recommended. Mora has appeared to do well with children, although supervision is important due to her size and strength. We also recommend significant caution around cats and smaller animals due to potential prey drive. Mora needs plenty of daily exercise, mental stimulation, and consistent training. A home with a large, securely fenced yard would be ideal, but a yard alone won't meet her needs. She wants to be actively involved with her humans! Apartment living is not recommended. Experienced Adopters Required! Mora is not a beginner-level dog. We are seeking an advanced-level adopter with experience owning or handling Belgian Malinois or similarly high-drive working breeds. Her ideal family will understand the importance of structure, training, consistency, and providing appropriate outlets for her energy and intelligence. Mora's Adoption Details: Mora is approximately 2 years old and weighs around 75 pounds. She is spayed, microchipped, house trained, crate trained, and up to date on vaccines and preventions. The local adoption fee (Texas) is $300, and the out-of-state adoption fee is $550, which includes transport to your area. Mora is a remarkable dog with so much love and potential to offer. She doesn't need to be everyone's dog. She just needs to find the right person who understands her, appreciates her drive, and is ready to give her the fulfilling life she deserves! If you're experienced with high-drive working breeds and looking for an intelligent, loyal, and devoted companion, Mora may be your perfect match!
