Story
Meet Truffles -“The Ears Have It!” Few critters in the animal kingdom have ears that can move separately, up/down, folded, or crisscrossed. The magnificent Truffles is one of the few! This gorgeous, friendly, athletic gal is endowed with huge stick up bat signal ears. When not receiving transmissions, one or both of her giant receivers crisscross atop her head. She loves long walks on her leash, zooming, playing with balls & stuffies, tug-of-war and of course, cuddling. Truffles was born with a genetic condition called mega esophagus that requires a bit of extra time & special steps at meals. She has a custom chair that allows her to eat in an upright position. Truffles eagerly gets into her chair as she is quite food motivated. She sits in her chair for 15 -20 minutes after eating. She cannot have treats. And that is it! You might notice her throat moving like a bullfrog when she is sleeping, due to the enlarged esophagus, but that is nothing to worry about. She is intelligent, active, affectionate, and eager to please. She is ideal for an active family or individual. More Attributes! Leash trained Loves kids, but likely too boisterous for little ones Needs extra care at meal time Local adoption fee is$200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Hudson is an approximately 11 month old Goldendoodle mix (our best guess is Golden Retriever and Poodle, but we cannot guarantee breed since we do not know his parents). One thing we can guarantee is that this boy is full of fun, energy, and happiness. If fetch were a profession, Hudson would already be employee of the month. Throw the toy once and he is ready for round two immediately. The best part? He happily brings it right back and is always ready to keep the game going. He is playful, goofy, and absolutely loves being part of the action. Hudson is crate trained, great with other dogs, and does well with kids. Because he is still young, energetic, and on the larger side, we would recommend caution around very small children since his happy wiggles and excitement could accidentally knock them over. He is truly as sweet as can be and loves greeting everyone he meets with his whole-body wiggle. Hudson is an incredibly smart, active, and enthusiastic young dog who will thrive with a family prepared to meet both his PHYSICAL and MENTAL ENRICHMENT needs. He is not the type of dog that will be content lounging around all day with minimal activity. Hudson would do best in a home with space to run and play, and we would not recommend apartment living for him due to his HIGH ENERGY LEVEL. A bored young doodle can quickly become a mischievous one, so continued STRUCTURE, EXERCISE, AND ENGAGEMENT will be very important for his success. Hudson absolutely loves fetch and could happily spend hours a day chasing a ball and bringing it right back for another throw. He is also a full-body wiggle machine when excited and is still learning his manners and boundaries, so ongoing TRAINING AND CONSISTENCY will help him continue growing into the wonderful companion we know he can be. Hudson would thrive with an active family that enjoys walks, playtime, and having a fun-loving companion by their side. He is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines and preventions. Now he is ready to find a forever family to keep up with all his adventures. Local adoption fee (Texas): $350 Out-of-state adoption fee: $650 (includes transport to your area)
