We really do not want to waste anyone's time if you are not serious about adopting this dog. Meet Tommy – The Gentle Giant with the Million-Dollar Smile Tommy is a 3-year-old, 75-pound German Shepherd mix with a heart as big as his grin. He was rescued from an overcrowded Houston shelter and came to us extremely shy, fearful, and unsure of the world- likely the result of a very troubled past. For months, he needed very patient, gentle fosters to help him feel safe. Because he was given that time, love, and consistency, Tommy has blossomed into the sweetest, calmest, most loyal companion. But it’s important for future adopters to know: Tommy absolutely requires a slow warm-up. He needs people who understand that trust for him is built quietly, steadily, and on his timeline. Once he lets you in, though… it’s magic. In his foster home, Tommy quickly found comfort in his kennel, learned to use the doggy door, and chose an elevated bed as his favorite spot. He’s a slow-paced, easygoing guy who loves lounging on the porch, stretching in the sunshine, and - his signature move - lifting his face to sniff the breeze with a big, content smile. Tommy will likely thrive best in a home with another confident, friendly dog. He adores following another dog’s lead, which helps him feel braver and more secure during new experiences. As his foster family, we LOVE Tommy deeply. We are committed to being an ongoing resource for his success. If, for any reason, the adoption isn’t the right fit, please reach out - we will gladly take Tommy back and continue fostering him to ensure he finds the most perfect home. If you’re looking for a calm, gentle soul who will be your quiet shadow, your breeze-sniffing porch buddy, and your loyal friend once he trusts you, Tommy may be the perfect match you’ve been waiting for. ***Listed BREED and AGE - We are taking our best guess & recommendations from our veterinarian on age, breed and size when fully grown.

IF you area not serious about moving forward in our adoption process, please do not apply. If someone other than yourself is part of the decision making process, please make sure you have spoken with them and they are on board. We really do not want to waste anyone's time if you are not serious about adopting this dog. Marshia is a spayed, 2 year old female German Shepherd Dog mix, weighing around 56lbs. She is in a foster home in Houston, TX, and can transport out of state once an approved adopter is found. Miss Marchy is very spirited, fun loving, ditzy gal! She LOVES to play & is besties with her foster’s 93lb brown lab & their parent’s 65lb golden retriever. She has only played with larger dogs, but did great meeting a neighbor’s shepherd puppy. She can play a little rough sometimes, loosing coordination when running and cannonballing into her playmates, so larger pups are ideal. Although she doesn't always do well following her playmate’s social cues, she will stop & come to you if you call for her. Marshia shares her toys well with her pals and does not get offended easily. She does take some time to warm up to new dog friends, so slow introductions/seperation are advised at first. It won’t be long before she considers them part of her circle, and will be snuggling up with them for slumber parties! She does not react to other dogs while on a leash or in public, heeling next to you while they pass. This sweetie hasn't lived with any children during her time as a foster, but has played well with the neighbor’s children ages 5-14. We would recommend children over 5 only because she may knock them down with her clumsy ways. Marshia has a high prey drive, so cats are a pass for her. Marshia is fully house broken & crate trained! She enjoys time in her crate, considering it her safe spot. She usually falls asleep by her foster’s bed before heading into her crate to snuggle with her beloved toys. She roams free when her people are home & they have only had 2 small instances of her chewing up some pinecones & a cardboard box. Out of caution, the dogs are always feed separately for safety, but Marchy has never shown any signs of food aggression or resource guarding. She takes treats very gently from your hand & loves to show you her shake or spin (dance) for a treat! Although she loves her food, she sits & waits for her "get it" command before eating her meals. She is extremely intelligent & will do amazing protecting your household while providing a loving & cuddly companion! She believes she is a lap dog and will just lean on your legs for pets all day if you let her. She will make sure you’re never lonely, following you around the house like a silent shadow. Marshia is always happy to meet new human friends, even at the vet! Marshia is a bit of an athlete and thinks swimming is the best! She would love to join you on all of your outdoor adventures, especially if there’s a lake. A back yard with a tall fence would be ideal as she can jump VERY high. She would enjoy another dog of her size or larger to play with, but would do great as an only child if her parent/parents are active & can give her lots of love & attention! This sweet girl is the total package and is ready to love you forever! ***Listed BREED and AGE - We are taking our best guess & recommendations from our veterinarian on age, breed and size when fully grown.

We really do not want to waste anyone's time if you are not serious about adopting this dog. Flacko is a neutered , 8 month old male German Shepherd Dog mix, weighing around 40lbs. He is in a foster home in Houston , TX, and can transport out of state once an approved adopter is found. Handsome Flacko is a a certified good boy! He LOVES people, dogs and really wants the foster cat to be his buddy. He may have too much enthusiasm for most kitties to enjoy however. He’s a quick learner & he just wants to please you. All he’s missing now is his forever person! This energetic pup is a bit of a wild man when playing with his dog friends (15-60lbs), but is great at reading their cues and respecting their boundaries. Flacko got an A++ from Doggie Daycare Playgroups and enjoys snuggling with a smaller puppy friend. Flacko has been great with his foster’s 10 year old nephew and they feel he’d enjoy a human sibling to play with. He is working on his puppy manners, jumping and pulling on a leash, so would need to be supervised around the smaller kiddos. After a rollicking play session, Flacko loves getting cuddle time with his people, rolling over to show his belly! He is a HUGE fan of pool time and will entertain himself with his favorite toys. This good boy is house and crate trained and will flourish with an experienced adopter that will help him navigate the world with confidence. Flacko is ready to win your heart, and we can’t wait to watch him grow up in a loving forever home! ***Listed BREED and AGE - We are taking our best guess & recommendations from our veterinarian on age, breed and size when fully grown.

If someone other than yourself is part of the decision-making process, please make sure you have spoken with them and they are on board. We do not want to waste anyone's time if you are not serious about adopting this dog. Sophie is a 6-year-old, 56lb spayed German Shepard mix. She is currently in a foster home in Houston, Texas and can be transported out of state once an approved adopter is lined up! This girl has been through more than any dog ever should—and somehow came out the other side with nothing but love to give. Rescued from the streets along with her puppies, we believe Sophie was hit by or thrown from a moving car. She bravely underwent FHO surgery and completed heartworm treatment, and now she’s ready for the happy ending she’s waited so patiently for. Sophie is fully house-trained, crate-trained, walks beautifully on leash, and rides like a champ in the car. She’s a low-energy, easygoing girl who would much rather cuddle than cause chaos, and her sweet, silly personality shines once she feels safe. Sophie has done well with dogs her size or smaller. She is not a constant player and prefers low interaction, setting boundaries when needed. She may be nervous initially, so slow introductions are recommended. Sophie has been around older children and enjoys playing with them; a home with respectful kids ages 10+ would be ideal. Her behavior around cats is unknown. Sophie requires separate feeding from other animals due to mild food guarding, but she is gentle with people and enjoys affection, kisses, and attention. Sophie’s dream home is a loving place where she can finally relax, feel safe, and be someone’s whole world. She doesn’t need another dog—just a cozy couch, a kind human, and a steady supply of belly rubs. Sophie has survived the unimaginable and still chooses sweetness every single day. She’s ready to belong to a forever family who will love her as deeply as she loves them. If you are interested in adding Sophie into your family, please fill out the adoption application below! https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/DDAR/Dog **Listed BREED and AGE - We are taking our best guess & recommendations from our veterinarian on age, breed and size when fully grown.
