Story
Meet Buddy – A Gentle Soul Looking for His Perfect Match! Buddy is a senior Ridgeback/Black Mouth Cur mix with a heart full of love and a personality that shines once he feels safe. He may be shy at first and take some time to decompress, but once he’s comfortable, his sweet and gentle nature comes through. Buddy absolutely loves other dogs and enjoys their company. He is both house-trained and crate-trained—in fact, his crate is his happy place! When left alone, he prefers the security of his kennel, and even when his humans are home, he often chooses to relax there with the door open. This lovable senior does well on a leash and would thrive in a quiet, low-energy home with a patient adopter who understands that he needs time to adjust. While he hasn't been around young children, his gentle nature suggests he would be great with them. We don’t know how he is with cats, but he gets along wonderfully with other dogs. Buddy’s favorite toys are anything soft and squishy, and he enjoys the simple comforts of companionship. He would be the perfect match for someone looking for a loving, loyal companion who doesn’t need a high-energy lifestyle. With patience and understanding, Buddy has so much love and potential to share. Are you the kind soul ready to give Buddy the forever home he deserves?

Story
Introducing this unbelievably sweet, tender, gorgeous, doe eyed girl named Haven!! She and her siblings came into a crowded pound and everyone was admittedly shocked as it was the first time they’d seen baby ridgebacks come through those doors! They were sooo lovely and wonderful from the moment they arrived that thankfully a fantastic foster was happy to welcome them until they find forever homes! Haven is a beautiful big girl! She’s currently weighing 40 lbs and is 20 weeks old. She has gone to the vets, and everyone absolutely loves her! She’s had her vaccines completed, as well as deworming, microchipping, and spay. Some of her siblings have ridges but this girl is ridgeless. She is current on preventative and is a happy, healthy, amazing girl! Haven is an absolute love. She has a heart of gold and just feels like such an old soul, even though she’s a baby. She went into foster care and is so wonderfully loving with other animals, and with every person she meets. She’s great with cats and absolutely loves to bond with other dogs. She would be great in a home with other dogs, but it isn’t a requirement. She will be plenty happy with loving parents and doggy friends to play with. She’s a darling, brilliant pup and she’s doing great going potty outside reliably. She enjoys making new friends with kind humans and animals, she’s good in the car, and enjoys water. She’s a big girl with an even bigger heart! And she’s ready to give it to her new parents and love you always. She’s dreaming of a home with a yard and a cozy spot on the sofa where she can snuggle up with you at the end of the day! She has unlimited potential and is such a darling girl, she just needs to find the home she’s been dreaming of! If this beautiful, sweet girl is just who you have been waiting for and you’d love to rescue her, please visit www.greatdivideanimalrescue.org and submit an application for adoption today!! **NOTE** to ensure prompt response- please go directly to our website (www.greatdivideanimalrescue.org) to apply, or email (inquiries.rescuematch@aol.com) directly with any questions to ensure your inquiry/application is received by our organization.

Story
Meet sweet, gentle, loving girl Harper. She's an easy girl to have around and provides great company whether it be going for a walk, sunbathing in the yard, or playing with her favorite toys. She's so very gentle, loves human attention and engages well in her surroundings. She enjoys being doted on, receiving belly rubs and being the center of attention. She has that endearing hound hoot bark when she feels the need to alert you of something nearby. She enjoys being pet and really enjoys being brushed while laying down soaking up the warmth of the sun. She is playful with her toys - tossing them in the air, chasing after them, and enjoys the benefits of a good chew toy. This girl would be great in a home that is gentle yet active to keep her physically and mentally stimulated. A fenced in yard is a definite plus because she very much enjoys the freedom of lounging in the yard. She walks well on leash and is spayed, micro-chipped and up to date with vaccinations. She weighs approximately 85 lbs and estimated to have been born around 9/1/22. Please note, if you're not ready to adopt but would consider fostering Harper, we would love to share with your what that means and how much of a positive difference you'd be making in a life of a dog that needs you.

Story
Marlene’s journey started on the streets, before her foster was finally able to bring her to safety. Now she’s warm, loved, and ready to find her forever family. This sweet girl is shy at first, but once she feels safe, her gentle personality shines. She’s also won over by food—a few treats go a long way in helping her feel comfortable and connected. Marlene thrives with the companionship of other dogs. Having a confident canine friend boosts her own confidence, and she can happily play with them all day long. She is crate trained and housebroken. Marlene would do best in a calmer home with older children, as quick or unexpected movements can still startle her. With patience, kindness, and a steady routine, she’ll continue to blossom into the affectionate, loyal companion she was always meant to be. Marlene is ready for a family who can give her the love and reassurance she’s been waiting for. Local adoption fee is $300(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)
