Story
A loyal heart and an easygoing nature define Low Key, who is ready to find a steady new chapter in life. He recently arrived after his previous owner sadly passed away, and while family friends cared for him initially, they ultimately needed to find him a placement that fit their budget. Because he is brand new to the current routine, his direct everyday habits are still being discovered, but the friends who knew him well have shared wonderful insights into his true character. According to those who know his background, this friendly fellow is a loving and playful companion who balances his active moments with a relaxed disposition. He is already crate trained, which provides a fantastic head start for transitioning smoothly into a new living space. He is also described as being great in a yard, making him a wonderful match for anyone who enjoys spending peaceful time outside or playing casual fetch. Low Key brings the enduring devotion of a truly loyal pet, ready to direct his affectionate spirit toward a brand-new bond. His mix of playful energy and household manners makes him a versatile and steady addition to a variety of routines. If you have room in your life for a gentle, easygoing partner who is ready to move forward, contact us to meet Low Key today.

Skade has a beautiful way of making an immediate, quiet connection with the people she meets. When someone approaches her, she will gently lift her paw up to touch them as her own unique way of saying hello.

She is a sweet companion who brings an easygoing balance to her daily interactions. This clever girl is both silly and playful, showing an active spirit that makes her a wonderful partner for outdoor time. Skade particularly enjoys heading out to walk on trails, taking in all the natural sights and scents along the path. She is also highly motivated by treats and loves to work for her food, which provides a fantastic foundation for engaging her mind and building a close bond through focused activities. Skade offers a wonderful mix of playful energy and gentle, affectionate charm. She is ready to bring her endearing paw-shake hello and sweet disposition into a home where she can thrive.

Story
Eli is new to us, so we’re currently getting to know him and are sharing helpful information provided by his previous home and the shelter. This friendly, loving pup enjoys meeting new people and has a way of making fast friends wherever he goes. Eli is housetrained and already knows commands like sit and stay, which shows how eager he is to connect and learn with his people. Treats are a favorite reward, and he’s always happy to show off his good manners when snacks are involved. Playtime is one of Eli’s favorite parts of the day. He enjoys games of fetch, going for walks, and getting his paws on squeaky toys or a good chew bone. Eli has also been playful with other dogs and got along well with another dog in the home, making him a fun companion for both people and canine friends. Above all, Eli’s best qualities are his loving heart and friendly spirit. He’s the kind of dog who enjoys being part of the action, whether that’s heading out for a walk or relaxing nearby after a day of play. If you’re looking for a friendly companion with a playful side and a lot of love to give, Eli could be a wonderful addition to your home. Reach out to learn more about bringing Eli home through adoption or foster.

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
Lola was rescued from the streets of San Antonio. She is the sweetest girl to all humans, kids included. She loves to lick! She is not a fan of other dogs/cats! She’s 7 years old, and turns 8 in November. We recently had our first kid, and with me being a teacher, we’ve not given her the time and love she deserves. She has a small ligament injury on her back leg. Last time she got her vaccines was 11 months ago. She deserves love and care, and without paying attention, we had been neglecting her because of our busy lives and schedules.

Story
Jed is a handsome, approximately 1-year-old Catahoula mix who has already been through more than any dog should. He was found after being abandoned, hiding underneath a stranger's porch, too frightened to come out. Instead of running, he curled up tighter, hoping the world would simply leave him alone. Thankfully, he was rescued and is now safe. Jed is looking for a loving family that will give him the chance he's never had. He may be a little shy at first, but with kindness, and time, he'll learn what it feels like to truly belong. His striking one blue eye and one brown eye make him unforgettable, but its his gentle heart that will win you over. If you're looking for a loyal companion and are willing to let trust grow at his pace, Jed could be the perfect addition to your family. Approximate Age: 1 year Location: Clarendon, Texas Transport available to approved adopters anywhere for the right home. Jed has waited long enough. Could you be the one to show him that hell never be abandoned again?
