Story
Meet Simon! Simon is a 4-month-old, 23-pound Husky/Lab mix — and the last of his litter to find a forever home! This handsome boy is bold, curious, and thoughtful in his own way. He likes to take a quick pause before leaping into new adventures, but once he’s decided, there’s no stopping him! Simon is brave, smart, and not shy about asking for what he wants — whether it’s treats, toys, or snuggles. Kisses are his specialty, and he gives them out generously to everyone he meets. When he’s done with his puppy antics, Simon transforms into a total cuddle bug. No pillow fort? No problem — he’ll make one himself! He’s already working on his puppy skills, including going outside for potty breaks, sitting for treats, and learning new commands. He doesn’t sleep through the night just yet, but after a quick potty break and breakfast, he’s happy to snooze again. Simon is equal parts adventure buddy and couch companion — the perfect match for an active family who loves both playtime and cuddle time. If you’re ready to give this sweet boy the forever home he deserves, apply today!

Story
Meet Wall-E! This adorable, hunk of a man puppy is a 6 month-old Lab/Terrier mix weighing in at 50 pounds—and he’s still growing! Wall-E is on track to be a big boy who loves soaking up attention. Wall-E has a wonderfully chill personality for a puppy. He’s easygoing, friendly, and always ready for some love from his people. Whether he’s lounging around or snuggling for pets, he’s got that lovable, heart-melting charm that makes everyone smile. He’s doing incredible in his foster home and loves other dogs and kids! Mastering potty training like the genius that he is! Not quite a fan of car rides at the moment but working on it. He’s also learning to show his manly muscles off to the world strutting the leash (smidge more convincing needed on the leash part). If you’re looking for a gentle giant in the making with a mellow spirit and a big heart, Wall-E might be your perfect match!

Story
Meet Larry! 🐾Larry’s story started rough—he was found at just 5 weeks old, covered in ringworm, after being left behind during an eviction. Thanks to the love and care he received, Larry has healed beautifully, and now he’s ready to find a forever home where he can truly feel safe.Larry is about 1 year old and weighs 44 pounds. He looks like he might be part Boxer, maybe Frenchie, Boston Terrier, and possibly a little pitty—your guess is as good as ours, but whatever he is, he’s 100% original and 100% lovable.He’s a shy, submissive boy who finds comfort just being near his person. One of his favorite things? Sitting on the couch and gently holding your arm in his mouth. It’s his version of a hug.And don’t get us started on his ears—one stands up, the other flops down, and together they make him look permanently curious and completely irresistible. 🥹Larry does well with all dogs and just needs slow introductions so he can build confidence and feel safe. Once he knows he’s okay, he warms up quickly and loves to be part of the pack.He’s crate trained and housebroken, and he does best when he has plenty of things to do to keep his mind busy—especially chew toys and marrow bones, which he absolutely loves.If you’re looking for a gentle soul who just wants to be close to you and feel safe, Larry could be your guy.

Meet Diesel! This 1-year-old, 44-pound terrier mix is pure joy wrapped in fur. Diesel is a happy-go-lucky, submissive, and sweet boy who literally can’t stop smiling.

Diesel loves being outside, chasing balls (though he’s still working on the “bring it back” part), and soaking up every ounce of affection he can get. He’s house trained, knows basic commands like “sit,” and will trot right into his playpen when asked—because yes, he’s both smart and eager to please. He does great with other dogs after a proper introduction and might be a little shy at first, but once he feels comfortable, he’s all in for friendship and fun. With people, he’s a total cuddle bug who lives for love and attention. If you’re looking for a loyal sidekick with a goofy grin and a heart of gold, Diesel’s your guy!

Did u know that two of a kind, beats a full house???? Ok, maybe not in poker..but in our lives it really does. We were found as a pair and the rescue saved both of us ;) anf yes we hang together all day so we are considered a "bonded pair ". Now that all of that fun is behind us, we r a cute pair! We are not puppies, so no need to hide your good China 😉 We so want a safe and loving and patient family. Arnold is shy and definitely depends on Gilbert to let him know thst they r c safe and loved. If you I are looking to adopt a couple of middle aged dogs, we are them!! Hurry, we r too cute to pass up! Local adoption fee is $350 ( in TX, together ❤️) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area- together)
