Story
Hi, I’m Jess! I’m a 36-pound Goldendoodle who is about 2 years old, and I’m a smart, playful girl with lots of personality. I already know several commands, including sit, lay down, shake and spin. Spinning is actually one of my specialties! When I’m excited about dinner, going outside, or heading out for an adventure, you may see me happily spinning in circles. I’m treat and toy motivated, which makes training with me fun and rewarding. I have a good amount of energy and love getting out for walks, playing fetch, and running and playing with other dogs. I’ve previously lived with larger doodles and enjoyed having canine friends to play with. I can sometimes be an enthusiastic playmate, so another friendly, tolerant dog with a compatible play style could be a great companion for me. I’m looking for a cat-free home and would do best with children 9 and older. One of the most important things to know about me is that I form a very strong bond with my person. I love following my favorite human from room to room, being included in daily life, going along for errands and adventures, and relaxing nearby when we’re out together. Being away from my person can be challenging for me, so I’m looking for a home where someone is around most of the time or can include me in their daily activities. I’ve also done well having a calm canine companion with me when my person needs to be away. I’m also a quick and curious girl who needs a family committed to keeping me safe. When I see an open door I sometimes run through it and am very fast, so I should always be leashed unless I’m in a secure, fenced area. With regular exercise, continued positive training, plenty of enrichment, and a person who understands how deeply I bond, I have so much love and fun to bring to my future home. My adoption fee is $295 and I'm spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. Apply to meet me today!

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 $300 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Max has the heart of a happy puppy and the social calendar of a kid who hopes every dog he meets is coming over to play. At around six months old, he is playful, affectionate, bright and wonderfully enthusiastic about having a good time. Give him a dog friend who appreciates a little wrestling, a pile of toys and someone willing to pay him in treats for learning new things, and Max is very much in his element. Go watch Max on YouTube in “Maxed Out on Fun | Meet Max!” and see this playful boy doing what he loves most: making friends, finding the fun and showing off that sweet puppy personality. https://youtu.be/2puAj45K71c Max is estimated to be around six months old and is likely a Great Pyrenees mix, although rescue breed guesses are always just that- a guess. He doesn't necessarily come with all of the classic Great Pyrenees traits, but he does come with plenty of puppy charm and a growing, clever brain that is ready to learn. Other dogs are definitely high on Max's list of favorite things. He loves to play and would especially enjoy a home with another playful dog who can appreciate his enthusiastic style. Max likes some good old-fashioned rough-and-tumble play and can get a little vocal when the game gets going, but it is all part of the fun for him. He also loves toys and is happy to share them with a canine friend, making playtime very much a group activity whenever someone else wants in. With people, Max is affectionate without needing to be attached at the hip. He enjoys attention and connection, but he has a nice bit of independence to him too. He's also great in the car, so when it's time to head somewhere together, he's already got that part figured out. Max is incredibly treat motivated, smart and eager to learn, which gives his future family a wonderful starting point for training. He is still a young dog, so he will need the continued guidance, structure and practice that come with raising an adolescent pup. Fortunately, Max seems quite happy to participate when snacks are part of the curriculum. There is something very easy to love about Max. He's a playful young dog who loves his friends, loves his toys and is ready to keep learning how to be the best version of himself. For a family with a playful dog looking for a younger buddy to join the crew, Max could be an especially fun addition. Ready to meet Max? Head to his adoption link to submit an application, and reach out to his adoption coordinator with any questions about whether this playful boy could be the right fit for your home.

Story
Marty is a 4 year old Goldador. He will be 5 on Thanksgiving. I got him from a farm in Prineville when he was 7 weeks old. Marty is an alpha male. He needs to be in a home that doesn't have other male dogs; he tolerates them but shows dominance when they are in HIS space. Female dogs are fine and he does well with kids.He is an outgoing, energetic, loyal dog. He loves attention and will cuddle and sleep with you if you let him. He is crate trained.His favorite things are swimming, rolling in the sand and grass, beach trips, and camping trips. He would be easily trainable for hunting that just isn't a skillset I have or have exposed him to.Marty is very affectionate and loves your attention. He is a very good boy. Its due to unfortunate life circumstances that I have to rehome him. Please consider giving this sweet boy a good home.

Story
Sven wakes up happy every single day. He’s the kind of dog that always seems to be smiling, always ready for whatever comes next, and always excited to be part of things without becoming overwhelming or chaotic. Sven is a one-year-old mix breed who has the coat and face of a golden retriever and the compact build of a heeler. He has a great middle-ground personality that makes him easy to live with. When it’s time to play, go for a walk, or hang out with other dogs, he’s fully in. But once the excitement is over, he settles down nicely instead of endlessly bouncing off the walls. He gets along great with dogs of all sizes and has a naturally social, easygoing personality that helps him fit into just about any environment. Sven has the fun energy people want in a young dog without the constant intensity that can make some high-energy breeds exhausting. Good fit: someone wanting a happy, social dog that enjoys activity but also knows how to relax and settle into daily life. Adoption process: All adoptions are completed prior to transport. Dogs are picked up at designated transport locations. If an adoption doesn’t work out (rare, but life happens), we always take our dogs back. Location: Oklahoma (available to approved out-of-state adopters via transport) Health: Fully vetted (spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm tested) Adoption fee: $500 (includes transport + vetting) Transport routes: WA, OR, ID, MT, UT, WY, CO, MN, WI, IA, IL, IN, OH, PA, MD, NY, NJ, VT Think you might be a good fit?

Old Yeller, is that a new trend? Old stuff made NEW?? Cause I am NOT old, although I am Yeller, a really pretty YELLER COLOR!!! :) I am a Yeller Chesapeake bay retriever/ YELLER lab mix, it is important for my new family to know about the Chesapeake bay breed. We can be very stubborn, smart and independent and I really like to be in charge, so my new family needs to be strong leaders too. I am a handsome bloke, with swirls of yellow and white all through my coat. I am very smart and very sweet. I can from a high kill shelter with no hope- Now I EXUDE hope!! And LOVE!!! I WAS heartworm positive but have already finished the treatment and am NEGATIVE and just stay on prevention for the rest of my life. I am good with other dogs, but really would be best in an only dog home, cause I want all the attention :) I LOVE MY people and I tend to take "control" of my home so have to have a couple of things... 1) STRONG leadership owner, 2) I have to have an owner who will be wiling to not let me meet everyone who visits.. I want to protect my home a little too much... and 3) I have to stay in the San Antonio/TX area so my rescue friends can keep close tabs on me and how i am doing :) I have been running and playing since I am safe, but really am a couch potato. I am a bigger boy and about 65-70#. Look me up, get my number, text or call me OR just APPLY to ADOPT ME!!! I will be waiting by the phone!!! Local adoption fee is $300 (in TX)
