Story
Please contact Tonya Griffith (TMSGriffith@aol.com) for more information about this pet.Posted on 4/7/23, and the pictures were taken on 4/1/23.  Alvey was picked up by the Smith County, TX Animal Shelter on 9/1/22.  We picked him up on 9/30/22, he was already neutered, estimated to have been born in 2012, and weighed 68 pounds on 4/1/23. Alvey is deaf, and had an ear infection when we picked him up that was treated.  We thought maybe he could hear again after he was treated, but he is still deaf, so he will require a fenced yard.  He loves sleeping on dog beds, loves to be pet, is good with other dogs, good on a leash, and is crate trained.  We don't know if he is house trained.  He happily walks fast to me when he sees me, to get some attention.  He would love to spend his last few years in a home that he could give a lot of love to. $25 adoption fee, since donations were made for his vet care, and he was already neutered.November 6, 2024, 12:13 am

Story
DOB 1/5/25 Mom is German Shepherd, dad is Shar Pie / bird dog mix. Loves people, dogs and cats, no experience with children, but I'm sure he'd do well. Working on potty training, we still take him outside every 1-2 hours. Ty loves playing outside with his sisters, rolling in the dirt (gives me no trouble when I wipe his face with a wet rag), having his big floppy ears rubbed, and belly scratches. He loves his alone time, but at bedtime, he snuggles up and sleeps with his head on me. When coming in from outside he sits and waits for his treat, and is very gentle when taking it. He is a great eater, his favorite treats are raw carrots, blueberries and "pupcicles" (frozen greek yogurt with raw chicken gizzards and blueberries. He is a drooler when food is around. He is an "old soul" and so loving. Adoption fee includes all shots and neuter. Doing well on a leash, with a harness.

Story
Ursa — The Lady Boss of Love Ursa may be black with gorgeous brindle accents on her face, head, legs, and feet — but it’s her personality that really shines. She’s the take-charge girl of her puppy pack, confidently diving into every bit of fun. But don’t let that leadership fool you — Ursa’s greatest joy is people. She’s not content to sit politely at your feet. Nope! She wants to be in your lap, giving and receiving all the snuggles she can get. She loves human playtime, yard adventures with her siblings, and being in the center of all the action. Ursa is the perfect mix of spirited and sweet — a pup who would adore a family ready to love her as much as she loves them. Ursa was born on 6/9/25 and is now 3 months old. While black is her primary color, her head and face are beautifully brindle, as are her legs and feet. She's uniquely beautiful! Ursa is a take charge sort of girl, an unofficial lady boss within her pack and she likes to be in the middle of all of the play and fun. She's not content to be looking for love sitting at your feet, she wants to be in your lap getting right to the love and snuggles. She really likes human playtime and companionship, but she is confident in running around outside with her siblings and exploring her yard with them as well. Ursa is a sweet girl looking for that loving companionship in her forever family. Adoption fee includes spay/neuter and all age appropriate vaccinations.

Story
Sassy — A Sweet Soul with Storybook Eyes Sassy is pure loveliness — a darling black pup dusted with brindle on her legs and gifted with the most deep, soulful eyes. She’s curious, playful, and equally devoted to snuggle time. Outside, Sassy shines with her natural curiosity: ✨ searching for sticks ✨ hopping on the woodpile ✨ romping with her siblings in the yard ✨ racing to the porch with the puppy pack But the moment she catches your gaze with those dark, heart-melting eyes… she’s all about hands-on affection. She’s a toy lover, a playtime fan, and a cuddle enthusiast waiting for the family who will adore her forever. Sassy is 20 pounds of beautiful sweetness, a darling black pup with hints of brindle on her legs, and really soulful eyes! Born on 6/9/25, she is 3 months old and a great mix of sweet pup looking for loves and energetic pup romping in the puppy pen and in the yard with her siblings. Her natural curiosity is on display when outside searching for sticks, playing on the woodpile or running with her puppy pack to the porch. And just give her the chance to draw you in with her deep, dark eyes and precious little girl face, just waiting for your snugs and kisses! She enjoys toys and play but more than that she wants hands on love and attention from her forever family! Foster to adopt is also a great way to see if Sassy is a good fit for your family. Adoption fee includes spay/neuter and all age appropriate vaccines. Spay appointment on December 23.
