Story
She has lived happily with young children (ages 3–4) the neighborhood kids 6-8 and is gentle, patient, and unfazed by kid snuggles. Sandy is house-trained, comes when you call her name, and is wonderfully polite when taking food. Treats don’t really impress her—she’s more about love, comfort, and being near her people. Allows people to use her as a pillow . Sandy can be timid at first, but once she trusts you, she can’t swim. And is scared of kennels.

Story
Lola is my name. I love all and want to be friends with everyone. I am mischievous and will get into trouble just for the attention. I am still very young and eager to explore new things. I want a loving family who will take me on adventures, then love on me while winding down. I don't like it when you focus on other dogs and sometimes I push them out of the way so I can be the center of attention! I have the sweetest face and my "love to be with you" attitude is the best kind to have! I am a medium sized girl and that makes me super PORTABLE! Take me with you to the beach, the mountains, the BATHROOM... I don't care where we go, as long as you take me with you!! I'm a energetic and driven girl with a strong prey drive, particularly chickens, birds, small animals and cats. I'll need a home without these types of pets to ensure everyone's safety. Local adoption fee is $250 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $500 (includes transport to your area - $50 Temporary Fuel Charge will be added)

Sweet momma, Utopia and her five day old pups were one day away from being euthanized in a small south Texas animal control.

She is doing good with potty training and is good with dogs and cats. She likes going for drives and walks good on a leash. She's got the cutest little tuft of fur on her head. She's smart and likes to play. Her puppies are cattle dog mix. They are playful and happy. They prefer playing with each other but like their stuffed animals. They are working on pee pad training. They are currently around five pounds, and almost ready for their families!!
