Story
🐾 Meet Bear! 🐾 Bear is a 1-year-old neutered male German Shepherd who is looking for a home where he can continue learning, growing, and finally experience the kind of life every young dog deserves. ❤️ Bear came to us neglected and much too thin, with fleas and parasites. Thankfully, he has been vetted, tested negative for 4DX, and is looking SO much better! His physical transformation is already incredible, and now we’re working on helping him grow into the confident, well-mannered young man we know he can be. Bear is crate trained, house trained, and does well in the car. And if there’s one thing Bear is motivated by, it’s FOOD! 😍 That makes him an incredibly trainable dog, and he is already working hard on some of his more impulsive behaviors. One thing we are currently working on is tail chasing, which has become a bit of an obsession for him. He would do best in a home that understands young German Shepherds and is willing to provide structure, consistency, training, and plenty of appropriate mental stimulation. We believe Bear would thrive in a calmer household, preferably with older children or no children, where he can continue developing a calmer mentality without a lot of chaos or excitement. 🐱 Cats: Bear will chase cats when outside, so a cat-free home is recommended. 🐔 Chickens/small animals: Definitely too exciting for this boy, so no chickens or similar small animals. Bear does not appear to be food protective, and with his food motivation and willingness to learn, we think there is so much potential in this handsome boy. He just needs someone willing to see past the impulsive young Shepherd and help him become the amazing companion hiding underneath it all. Bear has already come so far. Now he needs someone who will give him the time, patience, structure, and love to keep moving forward. 🖤

Story
Pierre Jett looks like Scooby-Doo came to life, complete with long legs, an adorably expressive face, and floppy ears that bounce along with him every time he runs. His resemblance may catch your attention, but it is his happy-go-lucky personality that will completely win you over. Pierre is a walking ray of sunshine who brings fun everywhere he goes and has a way of making everyone around him smile. Watch his video and fall in love with his fun personality: https://youtu.be/a56-QvP4n3c?si=p55DoW_VzvTXSxRi Pierre is approximately 1 year old and currently weighs around 47 pounds. We believe he may be a German Shepherd Dog and Black Mouth Cur mix, but with animal rescue, breed and age are always a mystery and our best guesses. He has spent time around his foster’s grandchildren, including children as young as 2 years old, and has done wonderfully with them. Pierre loves being right in the middle of the fun, happily running around the backyard beside the kids as they play and soaking up every bit of attention they give him. There is something so sweet about watching him trot alongside them, tail wagging as he joins in on their adventures like he has always been part of the family. His playful spirit makes him a wonderful backyard buddy, while his affectionate nature means he is just as happy settling in close once playtime is over. We believe Pierre has all the makings of a loving and loyal companion for a family with children who wants a dog to grow alongside them and be included in all the everyday moments that make childhood so special. Pierre is dog friendly and has done well with every dog we have introduced him to. He currently shares his foster home with four other dogs and gets along wonderfully with them all. He loves to explore and when he plays with his dog friends, he enjoys playing chase as well as light hearted wrestling matches too. He is a playful, fun-loving big puppy who would be thrilled to have another playful dog in his forever home. However, he would be just as happy soaking up all the attention as your one and only, as long as his family can give him plenty of exercise, playtime, and adventures. Pierre met our house cat Biggie and handled the introduction appropriately. He was respectful, did not chase Biggie, and was not bothered by Biggie jumping around or doing the unpredictable things cats sometimes do. Biggie also felt comfortable around Pierre. We do not know if Pierre has ever lived with a cat before, and this was our first time seeing him interact with one. If you have a cat in your home, we can arrange for Pierre to have a sleepover with a cat upon request. Just let us know! When he is not playing with his dog friends or running around with the kids, Pierre loves entertaining himself with toys. He is great about playing independently and can happily keep himself busy. He also loves treats, is eager to please, and will be such a fun dude to teach new tricks. With his enthusiasm and joyful personality, training can become another exciting activity the two of you get to enjoy together. Pierre is crate trained and is generally comfortable relaxing in his crate, although he may whine every now and then. He is still a young fella learning where the appropriate potty places are, but with practice, consistency, and a dependable routine, we believe he will learn in no time. Because Pierre is an energetic young dog, he would do best with a semi-active family and a home with a backyard rather than an apartment. He would love having space to stretch his legs, chase toys, play with dog friends, and race around with his people. We can also picture him becoming an incredible exploring and adventure partner who is always ready to see where the day takes you. Pierre is sweet, playful, full of personality, and genuinely happy just to be included. Whether his floppy ears are bouncing through the backyard, he is tossing toys around to entertain himself, or he is grinning beside you on your next adventure, this real-life Scooby-Doo is ready to fill a home with laughter, sunshine, and so much love. We are willing to test Pierre Jett with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

Story
For a 4-month-old puppy, Butters Mellow Fellow is surprisingly good at taking life easy. This German Shepherd and Husky mix certainly has his puppy moments, but he also seems to have figured out something pretty early: not everything needs to happen at full speed. When the excitement settles down, Butters Mellow Fellow is perfectly capable of settling down right along with it. Butters Mellow Fellow is a happy, gentle puppy with a soft personality to match that soft coat. He’s relaxed and easygoing most of the time, but there’s a silly side hiding in there too. Put a blanket over him and suddenly his goofy personality makes an appearance. He also happens to be incredibly photogenic and seems to have no trouble turning on the charm when a camera comes out. He currently lives in a foster home with other dogs and is doing very well sharing his home with them. Butters Mellow Fellow gets to experience the activity that comes with a multi-dog household while showing that he can adjust his own energy along the way. That ability to dial things back is one of the nicest things about him. Butters Mellow Fellow is still a puppy, so of course he has energy and wants to play, but he also has a calm demeanor and knows how to relax when the moment calls for it. He’s already crate trained and potty trained, which gives him a great start on life in a home. Combined with his gentle personality and adaptable energy, Butters Mellow Fellow could be a nice match for someone adopting a dog for the first time. He’ll still need the guidance, consistency, and continued learning that come with raising any young puppy, but he already has some wonderful foundations in place. Butters Mellow Fellow is soft, silly, charismatic, and wonderfully laid-back. He can join in when there’s fun to be had and settle down when it’s time to relax. For someone looking for a puppy with personality without needing everything to be a hundred miles an hour, this mellow little guy might be exactly what they’ve been waiting for. If you think Butters Mellow Fellow is amazing you should check out his profile and adopt! https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/6a8f1519e78162899d0a64ehttps://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/6a8f1519e78162899d0a64e8 Questions?

Story
Nacho Frito is nacho average puppy. With his squishable bear-like face, adorable forehead wrinkles, and fluffy little body, he looks like someone brought a teddy bear to life and gave it four paws. He is sweet, playful, affectionate, and the perfect mix of snuggly and independent. Nacho loves being close to his people and soaking up affection, but he is not clingy and is perfectly content entertaining himself or settling down nearby when cuddle time is over. Watch his video and fall in love with this little bear: https://youtu.be/h0ejYRFLKss?si=KeGtpR2CCQBs1RSo Nacho is approximately 4 months old and currently weighs around 30 pounds. We believe he may be a German Shepherd Dog and Chow mix, but with animal rescue, breed and age are always a mystery and our best guesses. Since he is already a sturdy little guy at only four months old, his future family should be prepared for him to grow into a larger adult dog. He has also spent time around his foster’s four grandchildren, including the youngest who is approximately 7 years old, and he does great with them. Nacho has wonderful potential to grow into an incredible family dog, especially with a family committed to continuing his training, socialization, and helping him learn all the things a young puppy needs to know. Nacho can be a little shy when visiting unfamiliar places or meeting new people, but he is still just a baby who has not had many worldly experiences yet. With patience, positive exposure, and continued socialization, we believe his confidence will continue to grow. Beneath that initially shy exterior is an affectionate, playful little guy who loves toys, treats, and spending time with the people he trusts. Nacho is dog friendly and is currently fostered in a home with a full-sized Poodle and a smaller breed dog who is around his size right now. He gets along wonderfully with both of them, and his foster says they love playing together. One of the best things about their little group is that they also understand when it is time to take a break, so Nacho is already learning how to balance puppy playtime with settling down and relaxing. If you have a cat and would like to see Nacho with a cat and how he would do, let us know! We can absolutely arrange for him to meet a kitty cat to see how it goes. Nacho is crate trained and is continuing to learn that his crate is a comfortable and safe place to relax. He is also doing really well learning where the appropriate potty places are. Like any puppy his age, he will need consistency, structure, regular potty breaks, and a family willing to continue guiding him as he grows. Because Nacho will likely become a larger dog with the intelligence and needs commonly associated with German Shepherds and Chows, we would love to see him with an adopter who has some experience or knowledge of these breeds. He would do best in a home with a backyard where he has room to play and a family committed to ongoing training, socialization, and giving him plenty of positive experiences. Nacho has everything he needs to become an incredible lifelong companion. He is sweet, affectionate, playful, smart, and unbearably cute, with just enough independence to make him an easy little buddy to have around. If you have been dreaming of raising your very own squishy-faced baby bear, Nacho may be exactly who has been missing from your family. We are willing to test Nacho Frito with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

Story
Amber Rose is basically a ridiculously soft teddy bear who comes with her own purple tongue, a weakness for Chick-fil-A fries, and a heart that loves with everything it has. She may be a little shy when you first get to know her, but give her a little patience and something tasty, and you will begin to see the affectionate, silly, deeply devoted girl hiding underneath. Once Amber decides you are her person, she is all in. She will happily curl up beside you on the couch, roll over for belly rubs, and make herself your softest and sweetest little shadow. Watch her video and fall in love with this beautiful teddy bear: https://youtu.be/nlL8NiaAzzE?si=WKRhQ_-W1odSU2ek Amber is approximately 4 years old and currently weighs around 47 pounds. We believe she may be a German Shepherd Dog and Chow mix, especially with that classic purple tongue of hers, but with animal rescue, breed and age are always a mystery and our best guesses. Amber is dog friendly and has done well with the dogs we have introduced her to. Much like she is with people, she prefers to take a little time getting to know her doggy friends before immediately jumping into play. She is not an overly playful dog, but when the mood strikes, she enjoys chase-style play much more than physical wrestling. Amber could live happily with a compatible dog friend, but we also think she would love being your one and only fur baby so she could soak up all the affection for herself. No kitties for Amber, please. This sweet girl has a wonderful medium-energy personality and is good at adjusting to what you need from her. She could join you for a leisurely walk along a nature trail, keep you company while you relax on the back porch, or cuddle beside you on the couch during a rainy afternoon. She is the perfect mix of cuddles, adventure, and just enough silliness to keep life fun. Amber absolutely loves treats, and food is one of the quickest ways to her heart. Chick-fil-A french fries are an especially big favorite, making her a pretty fantastic lunch buddy. She takes treats gently and already knows how to sit. She also loves playing with toys, and that is when the puppy hiding inside her makes an adorable appearance. She will happily entertain herself by tossing toys into the air, shaking them around, and dropping into playful bows as if she is inviting her toys to join the fun. Amber is crate trained and generally seems comfortable relaxing in her crate. She is also potty trained and has shown us that she has great house manners. Because she enjoys having room to relax and explore, we believe she would be happiest in a home with a backyard rather than an apartment. There is so much to love about Amber, from her beautiful face and velvety teddy bear fur to the way she pours affection into the people she trusts. She does not give her heart away immediately, but that only makes earning it feel even more special. If your idea of the perfect companion includes porch hangouts, cozy couch cuddles, peaceful adventures, silly toy sessions, and the occasional shared french fry, Amber may be exactly the girl your heart has been waiting for. We are willing to test Amber Rose with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

Story
🐾 Meet Our Pointy-Eared Puppy Crew! 🐾 Six beautiful 7-month-old puppies are looking for their forever homes! ❤️ This adorable litter of six — five girls and one boy — was born around mid-February 2026. They are all approximately 35 lbs and we believe they will grow to around 50 lbs full grown. 💕 Meet the Pack Girls: • Alexis • Sissy • Cookie • Bella • Kenzie Boy: • Mac Their mom is a purebred German Shepherd, and their dad is unknown but is believed to be a Husky/Lab mix. And let's talk about those EARS! 👂😂 Every single puppy has super pointy ears — guaranteed to get better signal and service than some cell phone companies! 🐶 How They Came to Be Their beautiful mom was found pregnant while roaming the streets of South Texas. Thankfully, a wonderful Good Samaritan took her in, and she was able to safely have these gorgeous babies in a loving environment. Now these puppies are ready for families of their own! ❤️ Personality Plus! These pups are friendly, affectionate, curious, loyal, and incredibly loving. They absolutely adore people and love being part of the action. Their favorite activities include: • 🧸 Playing with toys and stuffed animals • 🐕 Chasing and wrestling with their puppy siblings • 💦 Playing in the water • 🙈 Playing hide-and-seek with each other • ❤️ Getting lots of pets • 🐾 Exploring and being curious • 🛋️ Getting belly rubs — their absolute favorite! They are active puppies with energy that keeps on going! They love to run, play, explore, and have fun. Mac and Alexis are the calmer two, while the others tend to be a little more energetic. But make no mistake — they're all still very much puppies! 🐕 They LOVE Other Dogs! All six pups get along wonderfully with other dogs and would absolutely love a home with a friendly canine sibling to play with. If you don't currently have another dog, we strongly recommend regular doggy daycare, playdates, or other opportunities for safe socialization and play. These babies thrive when they have plenty of exercise and companionship. 👧👦 Great Family Dogs These puppies are loving and social and we believe they would do wonderfully with children, provided everyone is taught appropriate and respectful interactions. They are loyal little souls who want nothing more than to be loved, included, and part of a family. 🎓 Ready to Learn! They haven't had much formal training yet, but don't let that fool you — these puppies are very smart! With patience, consistency, positive reinforcement, plenty of exercise, and an amazing family, these babies have so much potential and will flourish in their new forever homes. They're curious. They're playful. They're loving. They're loyal. They're goofy. And those ears? Absolutely priceless. 😂❤️ These six sweet babies have so much love to give. Now all they need are families who are ready to give them the forever homes they deserve. Could one of these pointy-eared cuties be your new best friend? 🐾❤️ This doggy is heart worm negative, current on age-appropriate vaccinations, current on flea/tick and heart worm prevention, microchipped, current on de-wormer, and will receive a clean bill of health from a licensed veterinarian prior to transport. We have not fixed this litter yet as we did not know how big they would get – if you want them fixed prior to adoption, we can fix them down here in Texas before transporting, it is additional $125 fee. The current fee does not reflect their spay/neuter but DOES include transport costs. PLEASE READ BELOW: To apply to adopt you can go to our website at: www.pawsitive-Impact-animal-rescue.org This animal is currently located in Texas, but we do NOT adopt animals in Texas due to the hundreds of animals being euthanized here daily. We ONLY do adopt in Central US and the East Coast. The adoption fee listed ($495) INCLUDES transport from Texas to the Northeast. Transport goes to the following locations every 2-3 weeks: Albany, NY Port Chester, NY area Anemia, NY area Wells, VT and Brattleboro, VT Nashua, NH Willington, CT - Stamford, CT - Dayville, CT Steubenville, OH – Cincinnati, OH – Grove City, OH Grove City, PA and Washington, PA Ridgefield, NJ - Bordentown, NJ - Egg Harbor City, NJ Emmitsburg, MD - Elkton, MD - Hagerstown, MD Falls Church, VA and Glenn Allen, VA We have happily adopted hundreds of animals this way (long distance), and we do our best to make sure the animal you are applying for is the best fit for your home. With an approved application, we do put you in touch with the Texas foster who has the doggy for you to make sure they are the perfect fit.
