Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.She is Xena The Warrior PrincessXena was born approximately July 15, 2021.  She is a GORGEOUS Border Collie/Rhodesian Ridgeback mix or Tri-Colored Rhodesian Ridgeback.  Her personality is true to her breed! Xena's foster mom and dad have 3 other dogs that she likes to play with and share toys with, but she has also learned to be by herself.  Her foster mom says she needs an active family with another dog or multiple dogs. Xena needs room to run to get her energy out.  She likes going for long walks and exploring the wilderness. Xena sleeps with her foster mom and dad in bed with all the other dogs. It gets a bit crowded but she does love sleeping with the pack. This makes her feel safe. Xena does not like to be in a kennel or crate.  So, a family that is at home would be ideal.She likes eating ice cubes!  Xena says 'When mom gives me fresh water in a bowl she puts in extra ice cubes for me. That makes me feel special and loved.'  Xena loves riding in a vehicle and knows not to jump around and act like a baby.She can walk on a leash pretty well as long as she has her harness on; Xena is not a fan of collars. She also knows a few commands like “stay”, “no” and “potty”.Xena will bark at strangers until she gets to know them.  Her foster dad has taught her to fetch.  She loves chasing the ball and bringing it back, it’s the letting it go part that she has a hard time with BECAUSE she also loves to play tug of war.  Xena is also a fan of the Laser Light.  She thinks they are fascinating!Xena is Special Needs because if and when she gets too excited she has seizures.  The vet attributes this to a blow to the head as a puppy.  Therefore, she needs to be in a home that understands how to deal with occasional seizures.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 12, 2026, 7:32 pm

Story
MEET "FINLEY" TEXAS, HOUSTON LOCATION: HOUSTON, TEXAS EMAIL: BigPawsK9FosterHouse@gmail.com AVAILABLE FOR: FOSTER TO ADOPT/ADOPTION NAME: "FINLEY" DOB: 12/5/24 BREED: ANATOLIAN SHEPHERD RHODESIAN RIDGEBACK MIX GENDER: FEMALE SIZE: LARGE HEALTH: GOOD NOTES: Finley is a stunning blend of gentleness and intelligence, with a calm confidence that draws you in. At 7.5 months old, this Anatolian Shepherd/Rhodesian Ridgeback mix already shows the wisdom and poise of a natural-born leader—but don’t worry, she’s just as loving and clever as she is independent. Finley is wonderful with kids and other dogs, and she’s already demonstrating great manners: she keeps her kennel room clean and potties outside using a doggy door like a pro. As with many Anatolians, Finley has a strong sense of self and prefers a life with structure and respectful leadership. She will thrive with a kind but confident handler who understands the breed’s instincts and values her thoughtful, steady nature. If you're looking for a loyal companion with both heart and brains—someone who will walk beside you, not behind—Finley might just be your perfect match. Finley and her siblings came into this world under heartbreaking circumstances. Their momma, an Anatolian Shepherd, was tragically hit and killed by a car while roaming the streets when the puppies were just 3 weeks old. A kind-hearted Good Samaritan stepped in and reached out for help, and now these resilient pups are thriving together and living their best lives. ------------------------------------------------ Ground transport assistance may be available within 1K miles depending on where you live and the availability of volunteer drivers along the route.

Story
Why spend a weekend with Bernie when you could spend a lifetime? At 7 years old, Bernie is the kind of dog you can trust around the house. He’s calm, housebroken, walks beautifully on leash, and loves getting out for strolls. After which he’s more than happy to settle in and relax by your side. He isn’t destructive when left alone and carries himself like a seasoned gentleman who already knows the rules. Bernie does, however, suffer from "FOMO", Fear of Missing Out. Despite being partially blind, Bernie doesn't want to be left in the background! If there's fun, he wants to be involved. If there's drama, he wants to be involved. He'd gladly join the neighborhood watch, attend cookouts, own a police scanner, and commit to a Days of Our Lives marathon. As for being partially blind? Bernie struggles with dry eyes that will need continued care, including lubricants and cleansing. But don't stress! GIHS medical staff will walk you through the ins and outs of Bernie's eye care and overall health.
