Story
Miss Honey is living in a foster home. Fill out our quick adoption survey to learn more about her and schedule an introduction. Miss Honey is: Spayed: Yes! Up to date on vaccines: Yes! Microchipped: Yes! Our microchips will automatically register when an adoption is finalized More about Miss Honey: Housebroken: Yes! Crate trained: She has done well with free roam when home alone for up to 5 hours, as well as overnight Leash walking: She has shown some reactivity toward other dogs she sees on walks, and would benefit from continuing to work on this Dog social: Miss Honey does not like to share her belongings so needs to be the only dog in the home. Cat social: She has done well with a dog-savvy cat after a slow intro Kid-friendly: Miss Honey is a better match for older kids as she can be jumpy and mouthy when excited. Miss Honey likes: - Watching TV with you - Enjoying the sunshine - Cuddling up in some cozy blankets with her stuffed dino - Laying her head in your lap Miss Honey is the absolute best girl! She loves hard, and she will follow you all over the house, just wanting to be close to her people at all times. She plays hard, too! She loves to run around the yard and play tug with her people... but only for like 20 minutes and then it's time for a nap. She snuggles hard, and loves to park herself on the couch and get as much of her body on your body as she can. She's friendly with every person she meets and within moments of greeting you she'll show you her belly for rubs and will give you the sweetest, most gentle kisses if you'll let her. She would appreciate an adopter who can help her channel her energy in positive ways when she becomes overstimulated, to avoid mouthing and jumping behaviors. Miss Honey's adoption fee has been sponsored by a generous supporter. Next steps: Email adopt@onetail.org with questions, or submit an application online and we'll be in touch to schedule a meeting: https://www.onetail.org/apply-to-adopt/ *** Our adoption application stays on file for one year and can apply to any dog in our program.

Story
Meet Kodiak, a real-life Gund® stuffed animal who somehow learned how to walk, wag, and love. Seriously—if you’ve ever wanted to hug a plush toy that hugs back, this is your girl. Her face? Unreasonably squishy. Her wrinkles? Elite. Her vibe? Certified cuddle legend.Kodiak is a gorgeous brown Shar-Pei mix from Texas with a personality as soft as her cheeks. She’s calm, loyal, and has that gentle, old-soul energy that makes you feel instantly at ease—like a weighted blanket, but cuter. Kodiak thrives on routine, loves being included, and is happiest when she knows exactly where her people are (preferably right next to her).This good girl doesn’t need to be the center of chaos—she just wants to be the center of your world. With her devoted heart, loving nature, and plush-toy good looks, Kodiak is ready to upgrade from “adorable display model” to forever family member.Warning: adopting Kodiak may result in excessive snuggling, constant compliments from strangers, and the overwhelming urge to squeeze her face.THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN SAVING A LIFE!Volunteers and staff are excited to assist you in the adoption process!

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.From Tragedy to Hope — Meet Chula Currently in Texas | Transport Available Born: Senior | &#226&#154&#150&#239&#184&#143 Weight: 61.2 lbs Special Needs: Daily thyroid meds Adoption Fee: $200 (or $300 if adopted with her best friend, Chance) Apply: www.adoggie4you.org One minute, Chula was living the dream—riding in her dad’s truck, snoozing beside his recliner, and sharing the bed with her brother. Then, everything changed. Her dad passed away unexpectedly, and for three long days, Chula stood guard beside him, confused and heartbroken. Strangers broke in, and in her fear, Chula did what any loyal dog would—tried to protect the only home she'd ever known. What followed was terrifying: a catchpole, a loud kennel, and separation from her brother, Booger. Chula's world fell apart. But her journey didn’t end there. When our team finally brought Chula and Booger to the rescue, they were deeply traumatized. For months, Chula only trusted one person—Pat—who she knew from her previous life. Slowly, she began to open up, and her healing truly began when she was introduced to Chance, another long-time resident who had also faced a tough life. Together, they brought each other back to life. Now, Chula runs and plays, walks on leash, and enjoys meeting new people—on her own terms. Her friendship with Chance has given her a second chance. Why Chula Will Steal Your Heart: Beautiful Shar Pei/Lab mix with soulful eyes House-trained and tidy—never soils her kennel Loves toys, playtime, and curling up to watch TV Gets along with other respectful dogs, especially larger ones Would thrive in a calm home with a fenced yard Needs an experienced, patient adopter who will let her bloom Takes thyroid pills twice daily (easy to manage) Chula is looking for a quiet, loving home—ideally with Chance, but she would also thrive with another friendly companion dog. She's not suited for homes with small children, cats, or tiny dogs due to her past and her cautious nature. &#226&#156&#168 Chula has spent enough time waiting. Now she’s ready to be someone’s loyal companion again—could it be you? Transport Available to WA, OR, Midwest, and East Coast (excluding RI & MA) Transport Fee: $225 (if applicable) &#226&#158&#161&#239&#184&#143 Apply now at www.adoggie4you.org and let Chula know what it feels like to be truly home.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.August 5, 2025, 11:44 am

Story
Miss Bea’s journey really started when she was rescued along with 30 other dogs on the property due to an extreme hoarding situation. She was one of two mamas that just had her babies and she was so glad to be reunited with them at the rescue! She raised 8 of those babies and her sister raised the other 9 pups! They survived a horrible situation and both Miss Bea and her sister, Betsy (also available for adoption), were just wonderful mamas. Now it is THEIR TURN to find homes!!! Miss Bea's foster moms adore her and here is what they have to say, " We knew the task to foster Miss Bea was going to be a slow process. We had been briefed about her being feral and was familiar after fostering her son, sweet Hondo, what it would take. With some love, patience, and a bit of know how , she has turned into my little “happy to see me” shadow (see her videos!!). She has a big bark for a little girl but it is only when appropriate. Loves yummy treats and affection from the people she knows and trust so much so she will paw at you to keep going. She isn’t the biggest fan of going for walks because outside can be scary sometimes but does have some leash confidence. She has no issues with being in the presence of kids. She is great with our other dog and is potty and kennel trained. We couldn’t pick her up for months but now she just plops on me like we have known each other our whole lives. Miss Bea needs a special home that will give her the time and gentleness to allow her to open up." Bea has been given a NEW LIFE and she is ready to SHARE THAT LIFE and HOPE WITH YOU!!! PLEASE ADOPT!! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)

Who's better than the rest-y? That's right, it's me, Betsy! I am a cool Chinese Shar-Pei mixed female with a Tuxedo colored coat and white socks! My facial features even have a cool black and white coloring to them too! I was rescued from a bad hoarding situation alongside my siblings, thing's weren't looking good for us. But our big-hearted rescuers saved us and got us on the road to better care and living great lives! Betsy likes to chew on big bones, occasionally wiggle her ears around, and bark at squirrels. Now we're on our way to finding our forever homes. Learning how to socialize with other dogs, take walks, and play fetch with a ball. Stay tuned for more updates on my journey! This is Betsy signing off! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX)

Story
We are looking to rehome our two loving dogs, Thor (9) and Bella (5). Thor has been with us since he was a pup, and Bella joined our family a few years later. They are both sweet, affectionate, and very bonded. Ideally, we would love to rehome them together and not separate them. They enjoy being outside, going on walks, and relaxing near their humans. Both dogs are great with kids and would thrive in a home with a yard and a family who can give them plenty of love and attention. Our lifestyle has changed drastically over the past few years with two young children and a demanding schedule, and we are no longer able to give Thor and Bella the time and care they deserve. Our family is heartbroken, but hopeful to find them a home where they will be just as loved and cherished.

Story
Personality: Freddie is a spry 9 y/o pit mix whose favourite things are snuggling, popcorn, and eating trash off the street. She loves baking in the sunshine like a little potato and playing fetch. She;s a bit of a drama queen and perfected a pittie pout when you’re not paying enough attention to her. The vacuum is her ultimate nemesis. Logistics: she’d do best in a home as the only pet. She tends to guard resources and has a strong prey drive. She;s leash, house, and crate trained, although my bedroom has become her “crate” as she grew out of hers. She loves to be around people and play. Health: She has an anxious tummy and will occasionally vomit, but a slow feeder and avoiding poultry have made those more infrequent. I adopted Fred in 2017 and am devastated to come to this point, but my finances and health have recently taken a hit and I am unable to meet her needs. She’s truly a gem and deserves the best home.
