Story
Buddy is approximately 12 years old. He is extremely nervous and shy. My wife has been incarcerated and sentenced to 2 years in prison in Texas. I am being evicted. My landlord has required me to rehome Buddy. He has been around other dogs that we owned at one time. Due to personal issues, the owner can no longer take care of Buddy and he needs a good home. Someone with patience would be welcome.

Story
Hi! I’m Roo, an 8-month-old, 65-lb pup. Google Lens thinks I look like a Rhodesian Ridgeback, but chances are probably higher that I’m some sort of lab, coonhound, husky, Heinz 57.  I am a super smart, high energy pup! I learn new things very quickly and know sit, down, touch, watch me, paws up, get on (4 feet on object), and I’m working on drop it. I am looking for a new owner who wants to go on daily outdoor adventures and can also entertain my brain. If I don’t get enough enrichment, I will make my own entertainment using objects from your home and trying to get you to chase me! With the right person, I will be an awesome dog with a lot of potential. I currently get two walks per day of about a mile each and also some other enrichment like trick training, snuffle mats, chews, scent work, and puzzle feeders. I ride quietly and calmly in the car and walk well on leash although I might pull on occasion. I am getting more comfortable with crate training and bark for about 10 minutes and then sleep the rest of the workday. I sleep quietly at night in a bed.  I do well with other dogs even though interactions with dogs are new to me. At first I didn’t know how to play with small dogs and would take their snapping and retreating as an invitation to chase and roughhouse, but I’m getting much better. I am pretty submissive with the bigger dogs in the home. It would probably be easiest if there aren’t small dogs or senior dogs in my new home though, just so I don’t bug them. I haven’t met a cat but my foster owner thinks I might need a no cat home. I have met kids and did well but I might be too big and bouncy for small children.  Hope to find my adventure buddy soon!   Every PAWS dog is loved, vetted, and ready for a fresh start February 16, 2026, 10:03 am
