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?

Meet Tomlin – a big goofy cuddle bug looking for his person Tomlin is a 4-year-old sweetheart with a huge heart and an equally big personality. When he first meets new people he can be a little shy, but give him a little time and you’ll discover his true self: a playful, affectionate dog who loves to be close to his people. Tomlin’s favorite activities include zooming around the yard, proudly carrying toys (or occasionally a sneaker!) on victory laps, and then settling in for some serious cuddle time. Once he trusts you, he’s an amazing snuggle companion who just wants to lean against you and relax. Tomlin bonds deeply with his people and will make an incredibly loyal companion for someone willing to help him build confidence and learn the ropes of home life. Underneath the goofy chaos is a very loving dog who just wants a safe place and people to call his own. If you’re looking for a dog with personality, affection, and the potential to become your shadow and best friend, Tomlin might be your guy.

🐾 STRIPER (OR RENAME ME!) 🐾 Hi! My name is Striper… but you can rename me if you’d like! I’m an approximately 8-month-old mixed-breed boy who was found living as a stray. Despite my rough start, I’m a happy, friendly pup who still believes every person could be my new best friend. I’m estimated to weigh around 40 pounds and appear to be some type of bird dog mix. I love people, enjoy attention, and have a playful, outgoing personality. The nice people who found me said I was gentle with everyone I met, including children. I would love a family that will help me learn what it’s like to be a cherished indoor dog. In return, I’ll provide plenty of love, loyalty, and smiles. My Highlights: 🐾 Approximately 8 months old 🐾 Male 🐾 Friendly and outgoing 🐾 Gentle with people 🐾 Appears to do well with other dogs 🐾 Ready for a forever family I’ve survived on my own long enough. Now I’m ready for a couch, a family, and a name that will be mine forever. Could that be with you? Transportation is available for the right home! 📧 Interested in adopting Striper?

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?
