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
Meet Yogi – 9 Years Young, 70 lbs of Soft Hound Warmth! Yogi is a gentle giant offering the best of both worlds! Indoors, he’s a low-maintenance, world-class couch potato who loves curling up on soft beds and lounging near his humans. He’s fully house-trained, quiet, and gives only a bark or soft cry to let you know it’s time for food or a bathroom break. Outdoors, his fun hound nose comes alive! He enjoys daily walks and tracking scent trails. Because of his drive to chase squirrels and groundhogs, he needs a securely fenced yard for off-leash play and stays on a leash during walks (where he can occasionally pull firmly when on a scent). Kids & Dogs: Great with kids, gentle, and fine with other dogs. Health: Neutered, house-trained, vet-checked (benign senior skin/soft-tissue spots; healthy & happy!). Story: Yogi has known one loving owner since puppyhood, but needs a new cozy home due to his owner's declining health.

Story
Mabel is an approx. 4 year old Rhodesian Ridgeback mix who weighs approx. 60 lbs. She is a strong, dominant woman who does not take crap from anyone — including her husband Larry or his best bud Teddy. Equal-opportunity accountability. Mabel is also very quick to talk smack to other dogs as they walk by. Loud opinions. Zero hesitation. She is full of herself, and honestly? She’s earned it. She’s a gorgeous girl and she knows exactly what she brings to the table. Larry and Mabel are a bonded pair, no negotiations. They met in boarding after being rescued a few months apart, and somehow it was fate. He’s the Ricky to her Lucy. She’s prim, proper, and runs a tight ship. He’s the “I’ll chew your ear off while we walk through Home Depot because I love you so much” kind of guy. Together, they are perfection. They both adore people and will greet you with enthusiastic teeth kisses. Larry is also exceptionally skilled at turning himself into a bowling ball and knocking down the pins — and yes, the pin is you. You’ve been warned. 🥴 Mabel and Larry cannot go to a home with other animals, but trust us when we say this: the two of them are more than enough. Entertainment, companionship, chaos, and love — all included. Mabel is heartworm positive and currently on the slow-kill method. She will need to continue heartworm protection throughout her life.

Story
Meet Toffee (brindle) and Heath (white), a bonded pair of one-and-a-half-year-old Catahoula mix brothers with an unshakable connection.

They love running and playing together, whether it’s chasing each other around the yard or stretching out in the grass for a good nap. Their bond makes them the perfect team—Heath gives Toffee confidence, and Toffee keeps Heath grounded. They’re looking for a home that will embrace their unique connection and give them both the love, patience, and space to thrive.

Meet Beasley – Your Adventure Buddy and Champion Cuddler! Beasley is a handsome 5 1/2-year-old boy weighing a little over 60 pounds, with a heart full of love and a spirit ready for adventure! Beasley can be timid in unfamiliar surroundings and tends to stick close to his favorite people—sometimes so close he's practically under your feet! He needs a patient, understanding family willing to help him build confidence when meeting new people and experiencing new situations. Don't let his shy side fool you! Beasley has an adventurous spirit and would make a wonderful companion for someone who enjoys hiking, camping, or exploring the great outdoors. He loads into a car easily, absolutely loves water, and is always ready for his next adventure! While Beasley is still uncomfortable inside a house, he thrives outdoors. A home with a securely fenced yard is a must so he can enjoy the fresh air and space he loves. He gets along well with most dogs, although another dominant personality may not be his ideal match. One of Beasley's greatest joys is playing fetch! He could happily spend hours chasing his favorite toy. But when playtime is over, this sweet boy transforms into the ultimate cuddle buddy. He absolutely adores being close to his people and soaking up affection. Beasley is looking for a loving, patient family who will embrace his adventurous personality, help him gain confidence, and give him the companionship he craves. Could you be his forever adventure partner? Beasley is neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated, heartworm negative, & on preventatives. He is being fostered in Seguin, TX and available for adoption in Texas only. To see more pictures and videos, copy and paste this link.
