Story
Meet Raptor, the puppy who likes to pretend he’s the cool, calm, collected member of the group… until you get him one-on-one. Around the other puppies, Raptor acts like the laid-back observer. But the moment he has you to himself? Surprise! The chill guy disappears and the attention-loving goofball comes out. If you stop petting him, he will absolutely let you know about it. Raptor believes attention should be continuous and uninterrupted. His favorite hobby is shoe sabotage. Raptor specializes in sneaking up while you're standing there minding your business and carefully untying your shoelaces. It’s a very important job and he takes it seriously. Raptor gets along well with his siblings and lives with four adult dogs and four cats. The dogs are cool with him, and he would very much like to be friends with the cats… but the cats have not yet approved his application. If you're looking for a puppy who is equal parts chill, silly, affectionate, and mildly mischievous, Raptor is ready to keep you entertained. Local adoption fee is $250(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Meet Fawn! Fawn is a sweet and gentle 7–8 year old Vizsla/Rat Terrier mix weighing about 24–25 pounds. This lovely girl has wonderful manners and an affectionate personality that makes her an easy companion to love. Fawn is both house-trained and crate-trained, and she enjoys the simple things in life — a nice walk outside followed by relaxing indoors right by your side. She’s always happy to head out for a stroll, but she’s just as content curling up and keeping you company while you unwind. Her temperament is friendly, calm, and affectionate. Fawn gets along well with other dogs and is naturally gentle, though she won’t let herself be pushed around if another dog gets bossy. She would thrive best in a calm home with adults or teenagers rather than young children. Like many dogs, Fawn can get nervous during storms, so a home where she can feel safe and comforted during thunder and bad weather would be ideal. Fawn could be the perfect companion for a single person or a quiet adult household looking for a loyal, loving dog who thrives on companionship and one-on-one attention. If you're looking for a low-maintenance, sweet, and devoted friend, Fawn may be the perfect match for you. She’s ready to find her forever home and someone to share all of life’s cozy moments with. Fawn's Adoption fee is $300.00March 7, 2026, 10:05 pm
