Story
Elliana They gave me a fancy name at last! Can you believe it? I have been used as a breeder dog for years and years and then dumped at the local pound with a mammary gland tumor that you could play tennis with!! Who does that!!! At least that is what my foster mom thinks my life has been like. I sat there in a cage at animal control for 4 weeks before anyone would think about pulling me out of there but my foster mom said that she had to take me home so that I would have a chance to be a beloved pet before I die. Not that I am planning to do that anytime soon, but you never know. Anyhow, I went to the vet right away and had that big nasty thing taken off my stomach and the vets knew right away what it was and what it was from. They took out the baby making bits as well, so I won’t have to go through having my babies and then losing them right away to being just a baby and money making factory for somebody. Sheesh….get a job!! I have some issues, I won’t lie, but I am starting to kind of get used to being out of a cage, where I learned to circle around and around as there wasn’t a lot of space in those things. I can walk in a straight line and the more I get time outside, the more I am enjoying the fresh air and smells in the grass. I will revert to circles when I am nervous but Rome wasn’t built in a day and I have only had freedom for a couple of months now. I don’t have many teeth, as the ones I did have were rotted and broken from trying to eat the bars I suppose. I startle easily from the lack of being held and loved in my former life, and will try to “gum” you if I pick me up too quickly. But speaking to me and touching me before you pick me up will let me know you are there and going to be gentle with me. I am still getting used to the being held part, and sometimes can’t tolerate it very long, but I am learning and going slow is really helpful to me. I am learning what good food tastes like, and what a soft bed feels like, and while I have pretty limited vision to see things, I can follow my nose and it helps me to find everything I need to get around. Foster mom leaves me a puppy pad to potty on in the house if I have to go at night, and I am pretty good at using it. It took a while to figure out that is what it was for, but also, if I potty outside after meals, I am good if I keep to a schedule. So that is my story. If you are interested in giving a blind old lady a soft landing for the rest of my life, let me know. Local adoption in Texas only please.

Story
My name is Seven and I am a cream miniature poodle/golden retriever. I am a spayed female and I am 5 years and 7 months old. I am here because I was given up by my owner on 02/28/2026 due to the fact my owner was not able to afford to take care of me. They were my family for 5.5 years. I am used to living inside during the day and night. I am potty trained. I am a medium energy dog and I can live with an owner with no prior pet owning experience. I am not used to being left in a crate, I am still learning to walk nicely on a leash. My owner said I pull/tug on the leash a bit. There are lots of things you can do to get me to walk comfortably and safely on a leash. The staff can tell you all about it! I would do well with simple obedience training to help us bond and for us to learn how to communicate with each other. I do not need a fence, but I did have one in my previous home. It would be nice if my owner had one so I can run around freely like I`m used to! I can be good with men, women, and children, and I can be good with other dogs. I have never been around cats before. I am afraid of loud noises - who isn`t? The shelter staff would be happy to talk with you about how to help me to manage my fears.Note from shelter staff: Seven`s owner described her as gentle, playful, clumsy, and curious. She loves to run around in her backyard, snuggle with people on the couch, and go on walks.
