Story
Meet Charlie, a bundle of energy and affection waiting for a forever home. He`s 50 pounds of energy in a 20-pound body. This adult dog is fully house trained and loves nothing more than cuddling up on a lap, making him the perfect companion for cozy evenings. While he`s reactive and jumpy on walks, his lovable nature shines through with proper guidance and patience. He was given up because of his barking and reactions during walks when seeing people and other animals. Charlie is often misunderstood, but beneath his lively exterior lies a heart full of love. He likes car rides, running, walks, toys, and water and he knows the sit command. In a previous home several years ago, he was friendly and playful with dogs and cats. However, due to his recently situation, you will need to bring your dog to meet him. Adopting Charlie means gaining a loyal friend who will bring joy and companionship to your life. (tw 4/15/2026)Click `Play` to meet Charlie.VIP Alert!After more than 30 days at the shelter, this sweet animal has earned VIP status.That means their adoption fee is 50% off—a perfect chance to give them the forever home they deserve. -jc (4/21/26)

Meet Emoji! Breed: Chihuahua MixGender: FemaleAge: AdultSize: Small (9 lbs)Good with: Her trusted people, quiet environments Emoji is a firm believer in stranger danger—and honestly, we respect her boundaries! This little Chihuahua mix likes the people she trusts, but she's not about to hand out that trust to just anyone who walks by. She doesn't warm up quickly and takes her time to really feel people out, making sure they're worthy of her affection before she commits. Emoji would likely do best in a quiet, adult-only home that doesn't have a lot of visitors. She's not built for the chaos of constant comings and goings, surprise guests, or unpredictable social situations. What she needs is a calm, predictable environment with a small circle of trusted humans who understand that her love is earned, not given freely. Once you're in Emoji's inner circle, you're IN—but getting there requires patience, consistency, and respect for her need to assess the situation on her own timeline. She's not unfriendly, she's just cautious. And in a world that can be overwhelming for a small dog, that's actually pretty smart. At just 9 pounds, Emoji is the perfect pocket-sized companion for someone who wants a loyal sidekick without the pressure of having a social butterfly dog. She's ideal for a quiet household, maybe with one or two people, where she can feel safe and secure without constantly having to meet new people or adapt to new situations. If you're looking for a small dog who will be devoted to YOU specifically (and maybe one or two other carefully vetted humans), Emoji is ready to emoji-heart you—once she's sure you're trustworthy! Ready to welcome Emoji into your life? Contact us to meet this wonderful girl!

Story
If you’ve ever wished for a tiny shadow with a wagging tail, Magpie is your girl.   This small black-and-white terrier mix is as sweet as they come. She’s cuddly, affectionate, and absolutely devoted to her people. Once she decides you’re hers, you’ll never walk alone again — kitchen, bathroom, laundry room… Magpie will be right there, just in case you needed moral support.   She gets along well with other small dogs, but make no mistake — her favorite place in the world is wherever you are. She will happily follow you from room to room, gazing up at you like you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to her (because in her world, you are).   Magpie would thrive in a home where someone is around often and doesn’t mind a little extra love and attention. She isn’t just looking for a house — she’s looking for her person.   If you’re ready for a loyal, cuddly, tiny best friend who will adore you with her whole heart, Magpie is waiting.

Story
Hi! I’m Luann, but everyone calls me “Lu.” I’m a happy, playful, and snuggly love bug looking for my forever family. I like to stay busy with walks, playing tug and fetch, wrestling, and stalking lizards and bugs in the backyard. I also enjoy going to doggy daycare and working on my training. After a long day, my favorite thing to do is tuck myself into my blankie on my foster mom’s lap. I’m very smart and learn commands quickly. I already know "sit," "down," "touch," "place," "crate," "come," and even some agility commands. I really love learning new things! While I can be a little shy around new people and dogs, I warm up quickly with calm introductions, time, and treats. I haven’t been around cats or children yet, so I’m not sure how I’d feel about them. I would love to find an active home where I can get lots of pets and cuddles.

These pups are in Katy, Texas too!

Story
Once upon a time, there was a sweet girl with soft eyes and a gentle heart, always ready to bring comfort and joy to those around her. She is 3 years old and 25 lbs, a wonderful size with an even bigger personality. She loves to play, does great with kids, and enjoys being part of everyday family life. She’s affectionate, well-mannered, and happiest when she’s near her people—whether that’s joining in on playtime or relaxing quietly by your side. With heavy hearts, we are looking for a new home for her due to our landlord not allowing dogs. This decision is not a reflection of her behavior, as she is truly a loving and well-behaved companion. We are hoping to find her a safe, loving home where she can continue to be cherished. If you’re looking for a loyal, gentle dog to add to your family, she’s ready to meet you 🐾🤍
