Story
Walter may be a little shy and unsure at first, but give him some patience, love, and reassurance, and you’ll get to see his sweet personality blossom. Once he knows he’s safe, this little guy is happiest curled up beside his person, enjoying a cozy nap and simply being close to someone he loves. Walter is kennel trained and does well with other dogs, cats, and kids. He’s a gentle little guy who doesn’t ask for much—just a safe place to land and someone who will love him unconditionally. Just look at that sweet face… you can almost see him hoping that his person is out there. Walter deserves a family who will give him the time and love he needs to feel safe, and in return, he’ll give them his whole heart. Local adoption fee together is $400 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee together is $700 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Meet this confident little man! George has the sweetest “I’ve got this” personality and knows exactly how to make himself at home wherever he goes. He’s just as happy hanging out with his favorite person as he is relaxing on his own. He’s an easy going boy who knows how to chill and enjoy the good life. He’s dog-friendly, cat-friendly, and has done great with kids, making him a wonderful addition to a family. He’s also kennel trained and ready to leave rescue life behind. This little guy has so much love to give and truly deserves a family of his very own—one where he can be loved, spoiled, and cherished for the rest of his life. Local adoption fee together is $400 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee together is $700 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Fergy is a 4-year-old Shih Tzu looking for a new home. She is fully housebroken and is a sweet, affectionate little dog who loves people. She enjoys short walks and spending time with her people. She has a fun, sassy personality and would make a wonderful companion. Fergy is sensitive to loud noises and does not like thunderstorms, fireworks, or slippery stairs. We unfortunately need to find her a new home because we are moving and are unable to take her with us. This is a very difficult decision because she is a wonderful little dog, and our main priority is finding the right home for her.

Story
Kevin (all black ) and Oreo (black and white) are brothers and bonded.I unfortunately am working to much to care for their needs.They are leash trained and are good on walks but if you have a yard it also works. They’re nine years old and have become pretty mellow in their old age. Kevin isn’t the biggest fan of kennels and will try to scratch and bite his way out of it. Oreo is an attention hog and will give you hints by putting his paw on you to show that he isn’t done getting petNeeds a home primarily out of Kennel

Story
Meet Boogie Butts, or simply Boogie! Born 4/1/25, he is a small Shih Tzu/Maltese/Beagle mix who does not shed. Boogie is loving, playful, social and silly. He loves fetch, balloons, walks, car rides, kisses and other animals. He even does great for baths, nail trims and haircuts—and his after-bath zoomies are hilarious! Boogie was given to our granddaughter after our daughter passed away. Our daughter's childhood nickname was Boogie, making him especially meaningful to our family. Sadly, work, travel and school mean Boogie is kenneled far too much. He loves his kennel for bedtime, but deserves more time to play and be with people. We want a loving home where he can be part of everyday life. Because of his special connection to our daughter, we hope for an “open adoption” with occasional pictures/visits. We'd even love to pet-sit when you travel. Boogie is deeply loved; we simply want the best life for him.I will be happy to provide more details... 😊
