Story
Watson is a terrier mix with a love for adventures, walks, or just a good play session. It’s in his DNA, after all—a pup needs to have fun! Watson is sweet and great with other dogs and all people, and we are not sure how he might do with cats at this time.He’s a happy pup that’s also a cuddle bug. And if he’s going to be happy, he’s going to need some attention, a home that can take him for walks or devote some time to play with him to get his energy out. So, if you are looking for a sweet, fun pup to add to your family, Watson might be the one for you.Ask about him today! *All dog meetings are by appointment with an approved application prior - applications take 24-48 to process. Please call the shelter if you have an application on file to set up the meeting.

Meet Anemone! This sweet 1-year-old Jack Russell/Boxer mix is the perfect mix of playful energy and snuggly affection. Weighing in at around 30 pounds, Anemone is just the right size for all kinds of adventures, whether it’s playing fetch, chasing after toys, or just lounging on the couch with his favorite humans. Anemone was adopted as a puppy from a local shelter and was found as a stray at 1 yr old. After his previous owner never came forward to claim him we learned that he was heartworm and erlichia positive. He has been through treatment and will have no lasting effects. He’s a social butterfly who gets along great with other dogs, so if you’ve got a furry friend at home, he’ll fit right in! Anemone absolutely thrives on attention from his people—he’s always ready for rubs and playtime. If you aren’t paying attention to him he uses his Boxer hands to grab your arm for pets! He’s got a heart full of love to give and is looking for a family who will share in his excitement for life. Anemone is located in Texas. His adoption fee is $195 local or $395 out of state with transport and includes current shots, microchip and neuter.
