Story
Meet Cleveland ******Please note, once completing the initial screen you will be connected with the placement for a video chat. Transports run every few weeks and we will have the dog on the next available transport once approved. If you are not able to accept a dog until a specific time period, please apply at that time************ We are a volunteer run rescue and donate our time to these dogs. IF you are not serious about moving forward in our adoption process, please do not apply. If someone other than yourself is part of the decision-making process, please make sure you have spoken with them, and they are on board. We really do not want to waste anyone's time if you are not serious about adopting this dog. ___ Looking for a loyal, active, and affectionate companion to share life’s adventures? Meet Cleveland — a soulful, spirited beauty with a heart of gold and a story that will melt yours. Estimated to be around 2 years old, Cleveland is a spayed female Labrador Retriever and Rhodesian Ridgeback mix currently in Texas, and she can transport out of state once matched with an approved adopter. Her journey began in the unlikeliest of places — inside a cardboard box, where she was found selflessly caring for her day-old puppies. Despite being abandoned with nothing, she poured everything she had into her babies. Now that they’ve grown up and found homes of their own, it’s her turn to be someone’s baby. Cleveland has blossomed into a joyful, playful, and deeply loving dog. She’s the kind of pup who wants to be part of every moment—whether you’re headed out on a hike or curled up for a cozy movie night, she’ll be right there beside you, tail wagging and eyes full of love. Her zest for life is contagious, and her happy energy will bring light into any home. This smart girl is crate-trained, housebroken, and knows her basic commands. She’s eager to please, responds well to gentle correction, and walks like a dream on leash. She rides calmly in the car and settles nicely at home after a bit of play. Her favorite things? Walks, squeaky toys, soft beds, and being near her people—bonus points if you let her rest her head in your lap. Cleveland would thrive in a home with adults or older kids (12+) who understand that trust takes time. Once she knows she’s safe, she bonds deeply and loves with her whole heart. While she’d be perfectly content soaking up all the love as your one-and-only, she may also enjoy the company of a playful, confident, or very submissive dog who doesn’t mind her rough-and-tumble play style. She’s looking for a forever family who’ll not only match her energy, but also give her the consistency, structure, and affection she craves. After all she’s been through, she deserves to know the security of a home and the joy of being truly cherished. Cleveland is ready for her next chapter—and she’s hoping it’s with you. ___ ***Listed BREED and AGE - We are taking our best guess & recommendations from our veterinarian on age, breed and size when fully grown. We rarely know a dog's exact age nor are we able to tell the true or full breed mix of dogs as our information is limited most of the time. *** Interested in applying to adopt her?

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Bella is one of our senior dogs at around 10 years old and came in with her absolute best friend Bobby who is around her age as well. Bella, or Daisy, is a very sweet girl who just loves quality time and she enjoys walks just like any dog, but would also be a great companion to lay on the couch and watch tv all day long. We do need Bella and Bobby to leave together as they are very bonded and would not do well separated. We believe they would do well with children and elderly due to them being gentle, though Bobby can be a little shy so he may do best with older kids. They are housetrained and believed to do well with other dogs. Bella is up to date on her vaccines and is patiently waiting for hers and Bobby's forever home.

Story
Ava was rescued from being chained without food or water. She is very loving. We don't know her history except that she was adopted from a shelter as a puppy. We are an older couple that cannot provide what she needs. Ava is 12 yrs old with very early kidney disease. Needs low protein diet. Teeth are not in great shape. She has been outside and doesn't want to stay in the house. We have a very small fenced yard and ourHOA does not allow large dog houses therefore she needs someone with a fenced "farm" or acreage. She gets walked twice a day. If she stays inside she must wear a diaper if she is not taken outside every 3 hours. She very seldom barks or lets you know when she needs to potty. She is guarding with food and will growl or nip. She is a very strong dog. We both have physical limitations and can't take the chance on falling. She doesn't do too well with my two indoor cats and has nipped at them as well as other dogs on walks.
