Story
Tyke came to Bonaparte's because he had a terrible injury in his hind leg where he was shot and needed an amputation. The leg was fractured but there were also bullet fragments trying to push themselves out. Tyke has since had the amputation and healed beautifully and we have discovered what a love this guy is...truly the perfection definition of a gentle giant. He is great with cats, good with little dogs, good with kids and all people. He does seem to have a bit of separation anxiety which can cause him to sometimes have an accident in the house but we are working on it and paper towels are his fave when his foster is gone so those would need to be out of reach-but really with how just perfect this guy is that is an easy fix in a home! Other than that he is house broken and just truly perfection!December 9, 2025, 11:29 am

Story
Astrid is great with other dogs and loves to play with both big and small pups—though sometimes she doesn’t realize her own strength with the littles. She’s playful, smart, and loves toys, especially squeaky ones! Fetch, sticks, and branches are her favorites, and she absolutely loves to splash and play in water. She’s crate trained and about 90% housebroken, getting better every day. Astrid enjoys her “me time” in her crate but also loves cuddling and sleeping in bed with her people. Once she’s cozy, she stays put all night and is usually the last one up in the morning . She’s affectionate, loves praise, and even though she’s getting big, she still wants to be held like a baby! Astrid is looking for a loving, patient home where she can keep learning how wonderful life can be. She’s full of heart and ready to make someone very happy. Local adoption fee is $250(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)
