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
Mustard is a sweet older gentleman who believes life is best enjoyed at a slower pace. This calm little guy is pretty much a professional couch potato—give him a comfy spot to curl up and he’s perfectly content! Mustard is visually impaired and needs daily eye drops for dry eye, but he gets around and enjoys life just fine. He does best with a calm routine and gentle handling, as fast movements can make him nervous. He is good with other dogs, especially when they respect his slower pace and personal space. Mustard is pee-pad trained and will also potty outside when taken out on a leash. He hasn’t quite learned how to let you know when he needs to go outside yet, so his new family will need to keep him on a consistent routine. Mustard isn’t looking for a busy, action-packed life. He’s looking for a soft couch, a peaceful home, and someone who will love and spoil him through his golden years. Local adoption fee is $300(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

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. Boogie is deeply loved; we simply want the best life for him.I will be happy to provide more details... 😊
