Story
You won't find a more handsome, intelligent or silly boy than Sidney. He is about 3.5 years old and weighs 84 lbs. Sidney is a very intelligent fellow, he learns quicky and is anxious to please. He will do well with a job and/or a lot of stimulation, long walks and hikes. He will do well with an experienced dog person. Sidney loves meeting new people. He has done well with large dogs he has met, however he is would not be good with small dogs or cats. Sidney does show some barrier reactivity, however, when the barrier is removed (whether it is a crate, fence or car window) he shows absolutely no issues. Because Sidney likes a lot of activity, he will need a securely fenced yard (must be a physical fence, not an electric or invisible system) He is neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped and on monthly treatment for flea/ticks and heartworm prevention Sidney is currently located in the Middle TN area but transport is included in the adoption fee for approved adopter If you are interested in Sidney, email cox_ann@bellsouth.net for an application

Meet your Brother! Brother and his brother Red were two adorable pups found living underneath a house in bad condition. After being rescued they found that things weren't all so bad! They became happy, playful and great puppies. They currently are learning tricks, how to have good table manners, and get along well with other dogs. Both Brother and Red have tons of energy and love playing with toys! They'll need a lot of chew toys to get them through their teething stage! Brother loves getting treats and is eager to learn new things. He tends to be a bit more dominant around other animals, he wants to be the top dog! 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
Sheeba is my name and I am quite the celebrity around here :) Let me tell you all about it... have a seat and grab some tea. I was living on the streets with a gang of friends... found by a rescuer we were being fed but there was no room to put all of us. Of course, I was pregnant and after I gave birth the rescuers were afraid with all the storms that my babies wouldn't survive out there. So the pound was called, and let me tell you....I WOULD HAVE PROTECTED MY PUPS WITH MY LIFE........ of course, that is deemed "aggressive" and after my two day stray hold I was going to be euthanized and my puppies sent to rescues to bottle feed and raise up :( But MY rescue said, UH UH... She comes with the pups.... and they MADE IT HAPPEN! Now, it wasn't easy but I settled in to the routine and learned my caregiver's names and soon enough I was eating out of their hands. And they learned some neat but sad things about me.... I belonged to someone who trained me....... it is sad because no one has any idea where that person is nor why I was living on the streets :( Also, I am a very smart girl so I am also very sensitive to change....but, with my pups grown and adopted, I am now a model citizen at the rescue. Look at my video....I had JUST met the trainer that day and she absolutely fell head over heels for me. Now I am ready for you, I will complete your family. I am still working on my other dog skills and would probably be best where I can be the only dog and give you all my love. I am a gorgeous girl, my coat resembles a Belgian Shepherd's and I have GSD face and mannerisms. So if you want to adopt me, you must love and understand the working breeds. We need an outlet for our drive and you have to provide that to give me a great balanced life. I am ready, I hope you are too!! Local adoption only, $200 (in TX) (or if you want to drive down to meet and take her home that is cool too :)

Story
Meet Kanga! 🐶💛 Breed: Large Shepard/Mix Personality: Gentle, Cautious, Extremely Loving Kanga may be a big dog, but he has an even bigger heart — once he feels safe. This sweet guy can be fearful around new people and will often bark to let you know he’s unsure. But with slow, respectful introductions, Kanga starts to show his true colors: affectionate, loyal, and irresistibly cuddly. He knows some basic commands like sit, come, down etc. Once you’re part of his circle, Kanga becomes a total lovebug who just wants to be close, soak up attention, and share quiet moments with his trusted humans. He thrives in a calm, patient home where people understand that trust takes time — but it’s worth every second. Kanga would do best with dog-savvy adults in a low-traffic home where he can settle in at his own pace. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will love you deeply once he knows you, Kanga is ready to meet you — slowly. Local adoption fee is $200(in TX)

Story
Crash🩷 FEMALE And no, that’s not a very feminine, ladylike name—but she is exactly true to form 😁😳 Crash is the Belgian Malinois with a little dark side, a whole lot of tenacity, a serious amount of spunk, and probably just a dash of crazy thrown in 😅 She’s on the smaller side—about Moxie-sized, 30–35 lbs—but don’t underestimate her. She’s the antagonizer… maybe even the enforcer 🤣 Her gorgeous good looks will get her invited to the party and possibly thrown out 🤣 Her spunk and chaos make people question why they invited her… but let’s be honest—everybody wants her there 😅🤣 She is the party 😲😂 She reminds me a lot of Tango( my mal)—confident, a little aloof. She likes treats, but she’s not necessarily going to do the job for them. You’ll need to figure out her love language 🥴 Her work ethic will be determined by her and the relationship she chooses to build with her owner 😉 She may be considered a little reckless—but she’s a whole lot of fun and absolutely worth the energy it takes to build that bond and turn her into an incredible dog 💙 Django🤎 Brother Django is the male—substantially larger than his sister. He’s super playful but incredibly eager to train and please. He’ll go out and and run around the yard with her, then come right back, sit in front of you, and wait… he's ready for sure 🤎 This boy is an open book, just waiting for his pages to be written. Django is going to be a big boy, and his presence will be known by his gorgeous, raw hunkiness 😉 His calm demeanor will make him an incredible partner—very typical of the breed with their sensitivity and deep desire to connect with their person. This boy will not disappoint 💙 He’s treat motivated (huge plus), eager to be part of something meaningful, and bonds quickly. He does fine in the crate after a few minutes—though he throws a brief fit at first 😅 He’ll get it… he just firmly believes he belongs in the center of all things. The loyalty and connection this breed thrives on is what makes them such incredible working dogs. Their ethics often outperform their two-legged leaders 😳 They thrive on excitement, positive energy, and strong connection—which fuels their work ethic. Django will bond deeply with his people and will literally do anything for them. It’s written all over his DNA. Now don’t get me wrong… his crazy is absolutely in there 😅 It just hasn’t been fully unlocked yet. And I think I’ll leave that to the new adopter 🤣 Please Read This Part Stunning babies… and let me say this—because I always say it, and somehow still get applications from people who don’t qualify and are definitely not going to commit: 👉 You need breed experience—or a 100% commitment to learn. Local in Texas $250 Out of State $500 plus fuel charge

Story
🐾 Meet Waffles! 🐾 Age: 3 years old Breed: Belgian Malinois Mix Status: Spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines and preventions Waffles is a stunning, smart, and athletic Belgian Malinois mix looking for her forever family! At 3 years old, she’s past the puppy stage but still full of energy and enthusiasm. This girl is incredibly sweet and eager to please, but she will thrive best with a breed knowledgeable owner who understands both the mental and physical needs of a Malinois. Waffles loves a good game of fetch, and she’ll happily play for hours if you let her. She has had professional training, which makes her a fantastic partner for someone who enjoys structure, exercise, and continued learning. Her trainer is also willing to work with her new adopters should they like to continue her training. Like many Malinois, she has prey drive and will definitely keep the squirrels out of your yard. With cats, she’ll need slow, careful introductions. If they run, she may want to chase. She does well with other non-dominant dogs, but proper introductions are important to set her up for success. If you’re looking for a loyal, athletic, and intelligent companion who will love adventure as much as she loves downtime with her people, Waffles could be the perfect match. 💌 Could Waffles be your new best friend? Apply today and give this amazing girl the home she deserves! $200 Local Adoption Fee (in Texas) $450 Out of State Fee (includes transportation to your area)
