Story
Sasha is being fostered in PA. Sasha needs to be an only dog. She does not like active dogs Sasha can ONLY be adopted to a home with older children or all adults. Sasha is NOT good with cats. Sasha is spayed. Christmas time is here, soon a new year will dawn, and I’m still patiently waiting for my furever home and that special family to give me lots of love and belly rubs. I enjoy walks and will do OK without a fenced yard if you take me out on walking adventures. If you have a fenced yard I will run and play with you. I just enjoy the company of peeps. I don’t care to be with other dogs, just be by myself with my humans. I am a good girl in the house…unless you leave tasty morsels of food on the counter. Then I may just have to help myself! I know Sit, Down, am learning Wait, but I don’t really want to wait, hee hee. I also do pretty well on a leash. I’m still working on some other things like no jumping up on my peeps. I just want to greet and say Hi and give kisses and hugs to my peeps. BDRA has voted against the use of electrical fencing effective immediately.

Story
Wendy is the perfect blend of happy, easygoing, and absolutely beautiful — inside and out. This resilient girl has been through more than most, but she’s come out the other side with a wagging tail and a heart full of love. She was rescued from a high-kill shelter, and when she went in to be spayed, the veterinary team made a heartbreaking discovery — mummified puppies inside of her. Despite everything, Wendy never stopped smiling. Her strength, spirit, and gentle nature are truly inspiring. She’s a true warrior, ready to leave her past behind and find the loving home she deserves. Wendy is house trained and crate trained, though she’d much rather hang out on the couch than be in a crate (and honestly, she’s so well-behaved she doesn’t need it!). She’s a great walking buddy and an even better cuddle companion — the kind of dog who’s always happy to be near her people, no matter what you’re doing. If you're looking for a dog who will bring peace, love, and quiet strength into your life, Wendy is ready to be your forever girl. 💕

Story
Stark is a survivor — literally. He was rescued from a shelter in Houston, where he was just hours away from being euthanized simply because they ran out of space. 💔 But his story didn’t end there… now he’s ready for his new beginning — with you! The name’s Stark — and if you ask me, I’m pretty much perfect. My foster mom says I still act like a puppy sometimes, and honestly? She’s not wrong. I like to call it being a "perfect puppy!" 😄 I’m a fun-loving guy who’s always up for an adventure. I love playing with other dogs, meeting new people (strangers don’t exist in my world!), and going for walks. Got a yard? Even better — I’ll zoom around with joy! I’ve also learned that this cozy little den thing called a crate is actually pretty great. I hang out in there when I need some chill time — and it helps keep me out of “trouble,” though I still don’t totally know what that word means… 🤔 House training? Got it. As long as you give me the chance to go outside, I’ll do my business like a champ. If you're looking for a pup who’s full of joy, energy, and endless tail wags, I might just be your guy. My foster mom says I’m SO MUCH FUN 🤩 and honestly... I agree! I’ve been loved in my foster home, but now it’s time to find my forever. Can I be yours? ❤️

Story
Meet Zach! This sweet, gentle soul is ready to melt someone’s heart forever. Rescued from a kill shelter in Houston alongside his brother, Zach may be a little shy at first, but once he knows he’s safe, his love shines through. He adores being close to his people and is happiest just knowing he’s loved. Zach is wonderful with other dogs, friendly with cats, and gentle with children. He is crate trained, house trained, rides calmly in the car, and is learning to walk nicely on a leash. Neutered and fully vetted, he’s truly the full package—sweet, calm, and ready for a fresh start. Zach would thrive in a quieter home where he can feel safe and cherished. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a heart of gold, Zach may be the perfect new addition to your family.

Story
Meet Lottie! Lottie is a sweet and resilient 2–3-year-old German Shepherd looking for a loving forever home. She spent the last year being cared for by a kind man experiencing homelessness, who found her as a stray and became her best friend. When Lottie had puppies in the park, animal control stepped in due to safety concerns, and she and her litter were at risk of euthanasia. Thankfully, a dedicated foster stepped up and saved the whole family. Lottie’s puppies have all been adopted, and now it’s her turn to start a new chapter. She is now spayed and ready for adoption. Lottie is friendly, affectionate, and loves people. She enjoys running, playing, and especially soaking up the sunshine. Despite the challenges in her past, she holds no grudges and is eager to bring joy and companionship to a new family. Lottie is ready to leave her shelter days behind and step into the life she deserves—full of love, security, and adventure. Could that be with you? 🐾✨
