Story
She’s smart, eager, and full of puppy energy — the shelter is no place for a baby like her. Volunteers say she’s quick to learn and loves to sit patiently for treats. She just needs structure, love, and a home that can show her what life outside a kennel feels like.

Story
We are looking for a very special home for Mira, our beautiful 2.5-year-old White German Shepherd, as we want to ensure she has the best possible quality of life. Mira is an anxious and sensitive dog, especially with new people and environments. However, once she feels safe and gets to know you, she becomes affectionate and playful. She bonds strongly with her people and enjoys engagement, structure, and companionship. Due to our current living situation, a small apartment in a tall building and a not so active lifestyle, we feel that we are not the best match to meet Mira's needs in the way she deserves. We believe she would thrive in a home that can offer her more space, routine, and activity. Mira would do best in: A home with experienced dog owners, ideally familiar with German Shepherds or anxious dogs A calm, structured environment A house with a yard or easy access to outdoor space And owners who can provide regular exercise

Story
Greetings, mortals! I am Aries, a majestic male dog with a powerful spirit that rivals the might of the gods themselves. My lineage is a fusion of strength and courage, much like the mythical Greek warriors of old. As a German Shepherd mix, I bear the mantle of both protector and loyal companion, ready to embark on epic adventures by your side. Behold, my most distinctive feature: my big, floppy ears that listen keenly to the whispers of the wind and the secrets of the world around me. They stand as a testament to my unwavering vigilance, always attuned to the slightest rustle or sign of danger. Like the fiery ram that represents my namesake constellation, I possess boundless energy and a fiery spirit. With every step I take, I channel the might of the heavens, exuding the strength and grace befitting of a true Greek hero. My paws tread the earth with purpose, and my heart beats with the fervor of an ancient battle cry. But fear not, for beneath my divine exterior lies a heart overflowing with affection. I am not just a warrior; I am a loyal and loving companion. Together, we shall conquer every challenge and forge an unbreakable bond that even the gods would envy. So, dear mortal, if you seek a canine ally who embodies the essence of a Greek legend, look no further. I, Aries, the German Shepherd mix with big floppy ears, am here to join you on a quest of a lifetime. Let us create a mythic tale of companionship and courage that will be sung by bards for generations to come. Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area - $50 Temporary Fuel Charge will be added)

Story
Our story started under a house — yep, just a bunch of tiny bottle babies with no mama in sight. Eight of us! Our amazing foster mamas swooped in to save the day (and gave up all their sleep in the process 😅). Back then, our markings made us look like little Shepherd mixes, but as we grew and more of our personality came out, our mamas got intrigued. So, the DNA tests are in the mail, and we’ll soon find out what kind of adorable breeds we’re made of! Even as teeny-tiny pups, some of us were very opinionated — strong, independent, and determined to do things OUR way. (Think baby divas with bottles instead of tiaras.) But once we hit the gruel stage, it was game on. Now we’re healthy, spoiled, and absolutely thriving! We LOVE attention, snacks, and talking to our humans—especially if dinner’s taking too long. We’re professional explorers, champion wrestlers, and experts at the art of toy keep-away. Basically, we’re a hilarious, lovable bunch of goofballs who promise to fill your home with laughter, love, and just a touch of chaos. The DNA results are in!! 🧬 Turns out we’re a one-of-a-kind mix — 16 different breeds all rolled into one adorable package! Our biggest influences are German Shepherd, Chow Chow, and Dachshund (talk about unique!). Want to see the full breakdown? Check out the complete DNA results on our website! Local adoption fee is $250(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)
