Scooby loves foster life but he would love a family of his own.

Story
Meet Zoe — a 5-year-old, 120-pound Great Dane who`s basically a couch with legs and a whole lot of love to give.Zoe`s a slow-and-steady kind of girl. New people, new places, new smells — she likes to take it all in at her own pace before she decides you`re worth a snuggle. And once she does? You`ve got a loyal, gentle giant for life.She`s polite with other dogs, especially the mellow, easygoing types — Zoe`s not about the chaos, she`s about the calm. Think quiet evenings, slow walks, and a dog who`d rather lean into your leg than bounce off the walls.Zoe isn`t asking for much: patience, a little space to warm up, and a soft place to finally land. If you`re the type who lets a gal come around in her own time, she just might be your perfect match.Zoe weighs 120lbs

Story
Meet Luna, a sweet and goofy 5.5-year-old Great Dane with a heart of gold! Luna is gentle and affectionate with people and curious, though she can be shy in new situations and scares easily. She loves curling up to nap but is always watching what’s happening around her. She knows a few basic commands and tricks and is eager to learn more with an experienced owner who can help build her confidence.Luna was adopted in September 2023 after being fostered since she was 2.5 years old. She’s fully house trained but is leash reactive to other dogs, so she would thrive in a home as the only dog with a fenced backyard where she can run freely and soak up the sun. Moving to the big city has been very hard for Luna. If you’re an experienced dog owner who can offer Luna patience, structure, and love, she’ll reward you with her own love and loyalty. Luna is looking for a forever home where she can feel safe, secure, and loved. Please let us know if you’re interested in adopting Luna <3

Story
Dakota is a handsome name, kind of a "rugged" kind of name, right?? I am kind of a REFINED RUGGED kind of boy! NOT!! I am a snuggle bug looking for tummy scratches....I willl MELT for one!! Here is what one of our amazing fosters have to say about Dakota...."Super freaking sweet, loves loves belly rubs, is very strong when you walk him but listens well. VERY treat motivated and knows sit down paw and i just taught him roll over yesterday but its a work in progress 😝. Super playful, he will pounce around you and then roll over for belly rubs and absolutely melts for the belly rubs and kisses" I love playing and running with my doggy friends, however, I can lay at your feet very sweetly to beg for your attention. I am kind of like a "reverse" planter as well. I mean, you plant it and i will un-plant it for you :D I won't do it often, just when I want your attention and I am outside alone. So see?? you have great control over that urge! So I am a food and toy lover too, I eat out of a slow feeder bowl because wolfing down my food is not an option! I am learning all things toys and am actually learning how to bring the ball BACK after you throw it. I am a smart and very sweet boy. I do absolutely have a prey drive so no kitties for small furry mammals around me please. I am fully potty trained and great in a crate. Now i just need you to adopt me to complete my circle of life. Now, before you go all "Lion King" on me, just know that I will be your bestest buddy forever!! I am two VERY loyal breeds and once I know you are my family, you will have my unending love :) Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)
