Story
Gromit is 10 years old and has a gentle, affectionate disposition. She is very friendly and enjoys snuggling and receiving attention. She is generally quiet and only barks when someone knocks on the front door. Gromit enjoys going for walks and will comfortably follow along both on and off leash; she does not run away. She is fully house-trained and reliably does her business outdoors. Gromit has been part of my extended family since she was found as a young puppy wandering alone. Since that time, she has been well cared for and kept current on all veterinary care and vaccinations. Her veterinary records are maintained by the clinic in Louisiana where she was first treated and continue to document her care over the years. Gromit originally belonged to my brother and his wife. Tragically, my sister-in-law passed away about eight years ago, when Gromit was still young, and my brother passed away this past April. I am not a good dog dad and she needs more than I can offer.

Story
Most of humanity remains under investigation. The evidence is not encouraging. Wednesday would like it known that she did not volunteer to be available for adoption. Unfortunately, the humans insist that finding a forever home requires something called “marketing.” Wednesday believes trust should be earned, personal space should be respected, and strangers should be viewed with a healthy amount of skepticism. She is not interested in reckless optimism, unsolicited touching, or people who think every dog wants to be immediately scooped up and cuddled. She prefers to conduct a thorough investigation before deciding whether you are worthy of her attention. Some may call her cautious. Wednesday prefers “appropriately suspicious.” She does not give permission lightly. Touch her without consent and you may find yourself becoming the missing part of Thing. Fortunately, those who earn her approval discover a loyal companion hiding beneath all the judgment. Wednesday enjoys quiet company, cozy naps, and keeping a watchful eye on everything happening around her kingdom. She is the kind of dog who forms deep bonds with her people and takes her responsibilities as household supervisor very seriously. Wednesday is currently accepting applications for permanent staff. Successful candidates must provide comfortable sleeping arrangements, appropriate snack distribution, and an understanding that trust is earned, not demanded.

Story
NOW ACCEPTING ADOPTION & FOSTER APPLICATIONS: URSA Those ears. That sweet face. Those soulful eyes. Meet Ursa, a beautiful tricolor girl with striking black, tan, and white markings and adorable pointy ears. We believe she may be a Terrier/Dachshund mix, and she's looking for a patient person willing to let her shine. Ursa was found wandering alone in Waller County and was brought to safety through Waller County Animal Control. While we don't know what she's experienced in her past, it's clear she's still learning that people can be trusted. She is a shy, gentle girl who is timid around new people and loud environments. Her foster says she's not mean at all—just fearful and cautious. Because of this, Ursa would do best in a calm, quiet home with no small children. Ursa's Dream Home: Older couple, retiree, or single person Quiet household No small children Patient humans who will let her adjust at her own pace Dog Friendly Cat Friendly Small Breed Mix Looking for a Foster or Forever Home The best things in life are worth waiting for, and Ursa is the kind of dog whose trust will be one of the greatest gifts you'll ever earn. ##2753410##

Story
Spike's DOB is 6/3/2020; he is now 6 yrs old. We adopted him from the Humane Society in August 2021. Since then, my Autistic son does not like to have him around. In addition to that, financially it's been tough since I lost my job last year. We hate to have to rehome him since he is our first family pet, but it is best for us. I have been trying to rehome him by taking him to shelters since October 2025; however, shelters are full. Spike answers to his name, and he responds well to commands. He will be best with a family with younger children or even adults who have a lot of attention to give.

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 🐾🤍

Story
Lola is the sweetest and kindest friend who only wishes to love you at all times. We are currently looking for any loving and patient persons/families to take in the 7 year old boxer mix. We are fostering her for a friend due to potential signs of jealousy (before, Lola was very protective of the baby), there was no harm but they did not want to take any chances. She is very friendly to all and loves to play, especially with rope toys. She will stick to you like tape and will want to be by your side almost all the time. She is house trained, knows the “sit, stay, lay down” command and responds to her name (Does need practice). She does not bark loudly and can be easily scared at times due to how poorly she was treated early in life. If you are at all interested or have any other questions please contact us.
