The sweetest dog we just don't have the time to give her the attention she deserves now as our family has grown and with our work schedules, she wants to cuddle all the time so she'd be so happy going with a family or with an elderly person able to just spend time with her. We are hoping to keep her and our other girl dog together as they are so close.

Story
Peaches was adopted and had a life as a family member, but sadly was returned after 6 years. We are all sad for her and hoping her forever home will love her for the good girl she can be. Sweet Peaches is affectionate, loves to chill on the couch, enjoys a good car ride, a long walk, and playing with her toys. Peaches adores all sized people, although the littles may not stay upright around 'miss big love'. She is spayed, housebroken, and knows all the basic commands. This girl listens well, she completed her training at Creature Comfort Inn and is currently being fostered by a trainer. She is a strong girl that will need a strong leader, continued structure will be best to keep everyone happiest. Peaches is a beautiful tall German Shepherd, weighting 85 pounds. She prefers to be the only animal in the house and does have a strong prey drive, so small critters wouldn't fair well around this queen. Peaches has EPI (Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency), which means her pancreas doesn't produce enough enzymes to break down the food properly. This is not too costly and easy to manage. Enzyme powder is added to her food at each meal and she needs a B12 supplement. So please don't let EPI scare you! Peaches is a healthy senior girl, looking for her happily-ever-after! Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.  If you are an approved adopter and are interested in this dog, please let your case worker know. If you are not yet an approved adopter but are interested, please complete an adoption application!

Story
  Nesta was rescued from a high kill shelter in TX. It takes Nesta a while to trust and will take her time to feel safe and settle into a new home environment. Nesta is a "velcro" dog and will follow her person everywhere. She is an affectionate gale, wanting pets as much as she can get. Nesta started training with Sadie's Rules K9 training in February 2024, to further develop the confidence and manners to be the best version of herself. Nesta now has great manners, knows all the basic commands, and does best with a strict routine. She gets along with dogs, but isn't much of a player. She is ok with the kitties too. Nesta was fine with children in her previous foster home, but older children are recommended. This girl is high energy, but enjoys a simple life. Nesta is up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative, spayed, crate trained, and housebroken. A good girl that is ready to show all she has learned in her new forever home.

Story
SSR rescued neglected Blue from death row. He is ready to begin his journey of freedom and love! Blue is sweet, goofy, loves his toys, and is friendly to all. He'd make a great family dog, loving the little dog savvy humans too. Blue will be great as a play buddy with another dog, he needs a companion. He may show a common resource guarding with food, so feeding in his "safe place", crate, has resolved his unsureness. This big boy is up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative, neutered, crate trained, and housebroken. He does still have puppy chewing tendencies and could use some continued training, but he knows basic commands. He is doing well around dog savvy cats, meaning no harm if he chases. Blue boy does have skin allergies, more test are being done to pinpoint his allergy. For now, an allergy shot has done wonders for him. All of his bloodwork is proof that he is a healthy boy. He handles the utter and total chaos of his foster home with ease, he's seriously sweet! Blue will hypnotize you with his mournful eyes! Adopt Blue and he will be sure to take you to his bluey moments of love, laughter, and fun!             Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.  If you are an approved adopter and are interested in this dog, please let your case worker know.

Story
Milton has come so far and has learned to trust. Loyal Milton lived outside in TX, unloved and uncared for until his decline in health was noticed. SSR came to the rescue. Milton is a bit timid when initially meeting men, but he has turned the page! We can definitely say now that Milton has added men as a favorite human! This gentle boy is good with lower energy dogs, older children, and has curiosity for the kitties. Milton has some instability in his hind quarters, test reveal an old injury and is in no pain. He would benefit best with limited stairs and does well in grassy areas. Milton is up to date on vaccinations, neutered, housebroken, and crate trained. He weighs about 60 pounds and is such a good boy to leash walk. Milton is currently being treated for heartworm. A rare moment of excitement for Milton is when feeding time comes. He also responds well to the 'NO' command. Affectionate Milton is in search of a forever home to prove his loyalty, lay at your feet, and chill with you! Come meet marvelous Milton!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. [10/26/24]  I've had Maria for 5.5 months now.  She's come a very long way.  Her skin issues have cleared up (she's now on a daily dose of Apoquel to ensure her skin remains healthy).  Maria was spayed on 10/1/24.  If you had read the 6/20/24 update below, we planned to have her spayed in June.  But she went into heat and best practices indicate that females should not be spayed for about 3-4 months after a heat cycle ends.  The vets want to make sure that hormones have calmed down enough to do the spay.  So we waited until October. She was a trooper throughout recuperation - even with the cone (NOT her favorite).  The incision healed nicely.  It was a bit longer than most spay incisions because the  vet also repaired an umbilical hernia during the procedure.  I thought Maria was happy before the spay, but after that cone came off and I no longer had to use a leash, she was ecstatic!  I'm guessing since the hernia was repaired, she felt a whole lot better.  Maria has learned to sit and wait for her bowl to be placed down.  We've been working on leash training, but she hasn't got the hang of that yet.  Since the spay, there are times where she doesn't pull on lead (the leash goes soft), but then she pulls again.  Her forever home will likely want to work with her on that.  She is crate trained - she goes in the crate at night and whenever I leave my house.  She also hasn't had an accident in the house for over 5 months, so I think it's safe to say that she's house trained as well.  :) She does have a high prey drive, so we're thinking a forever home with no small animals.  It might also be best if there were no small children in the home.  She is essentially an 86 lb puppy - bouncy, fast, zoomies, etc.  She's leaarning spatial boundaries and I'm sure she will continue to improve.  One additional observation is that her coat seems to be getting lighter.  I had her DNA tested and she came back 100% White Shepherd.  It'll be interesting to see how light her coat might get.  Oh, and I'll be happy to include those results with the  documentation we send with Maria.  Maria is definitely ready for her forever home.  If you might be interested in this special girl, please do apply to adopt.  If you are already approved to adopt, please contact us.  [6/20/24] Maria went to the vet yesterday and was a little nervous but was great with both the vet tech and the vet. Her skin issues are better, but haven't quite cleared up yet so she'll be on an antibiotic a while longer. The vet also gave me a mousse to rub into her skin. I'll start that today. Her spay is scheduled for July 2. At that time, the vet will also repair what appears to be an umbilical hernia. Big doin's coming up for this sweet girl. She'd also gained 4-5 lbs. This is great and the vet was okay about the food amount and the frequency of the feedings (3 times/day). Today, I started a new 'thing' with her. She knows 'sit' and I decided to ask her to sit before I open a door. We've been through two doors so far and after a few seconds she managed it both times. She's coming along nicely. And she's just got the best smile. :)  [6/18/2024]  I've had Maria for about 6.5 weeks and am getting to know her.   She'll go to the vet tomorrow for a recheck. She seems to have gained a little weight. Her body is looking softer and her face is filling in. I'm now wondering how long it will take for her to catch up to those wonderful ears of hers. Right now, I'm thinking no small children and no small animals. She's has a small frame, but is very strong and very much like a big puppy. She bumps and rubs up against me and could easily knock a small child down. She's chased both bunnies and squirrels in the yard. I don't know about cats, but I'm guessing she would be VERY interested. I'm also thinking that an active family would be great for her. She's so delighted and excited with the world now. She just bounces with her energy. Once she learns to relax on leash, she will do great on walks (I'm working on this). She's very smart and catches on fairly quickly. She now 'sits' (without being asked) for her meal AND 'waits' for me to tell her 'okay.' This means she's not diving for her dish anymore. We're also working on 'wait.' Like with the meals, I've started putting a treat on the floor and asking her to 'wait' until I say 'okay.' Stay tuned for more updates on this special girl.

Story
Sam is a super goofy, affectionate, sensitive, and very eager to please fella. His original adopter returned him due to being reactive towards people, not having much interactions with people didn't do him justice. He is working under a trainer, Sadie's Rules K9 training, to be the best boy he can be. He is no longer reactive and is said to pretty close to perfect. Sam is a social guy that is good with all people, giving his paw as a show of affection. He loves playing with other dogs and being outside. Sam would be best fitted as an hiking/adventure buddy, he has a lot of energy. He was ok with cats and kids in his previous foster home. And loved his stuffed toys. Sam is a very vocal boy, he likes to have his opinion known. He's fully off-leash trained and walks well on leash walks. Sam is up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative, neutered, and housebroken. He chills in place in his crate and is e-collar trained. This good boy is needing a home with a leader that'll understand his needs. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.  If you are an approved adopter and are interested in this dog, please let your case worker know.
