Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Curly Sue came to us from Oklahoma. Her eyes and build look somewhat Akbash, and her curly coat looks like possibly Kuvasz, or maybe it's produced from a combination of Akbash and Komondor. She is a wonderful livestock guardian. She’s not well socialized with people, but she’s great with our goats, good with other dogs, and hasn’t bothered our barn cats. She is shy but will take a treat from me, so that's an excellent way to start winning her trust. She avoids my touch, but when I manage to get my hands on her, she seems to enjoy have her ears and butt scratched. She was never taught to wear a collar or walk on a leash, so we haven’t yet been able to get her to our chicken yard to test her with chickens. If you need an LGD for goats and don’t have chickens, or keep them in their own coop and yard like we do, then Curly Sue might be the right dog for you!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 10, 2026, 10:47 am

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Young Bennie was picked up as a stray in our rural area, so we don't know anything about his past. He came into rescue with some skin issues which are being treated. At the moment, we're not sure whether he has seasonal allergies, or whether his itchiness was all related to Demodectic mange, which is very common in puppies and young dogs. What we DO know is that Bennie is sweet as can be! In his foster home, he loves having plenty of room for running his zoomies, and he enjoys playing with other dogs. He enjoys sleeping on a big comfy dog bed, and he is a little bit of a hoarder with his stuffed animal toys. Bennie has been neutered and vaccinated, and is ready to find his happily ever after story.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Robert the Bruce comes from a litter of puppies who were born on a ranch in Central Texas. They were exposed to Boer goats and longhorn cattle from the very beginning. And LOTS of dogs -- the ranch started with a handful of livestock guardian dogs (LGDs), and didn't spay/neuter any of them, so before you know it, he had more than 60 dogs and puppies, all growing up completely feral. Since March 2024, we've been trapping and removing as many as we can, and as of June 2025, we have removed 50 dogs and puppies from this one ranch. More remain, so this is an ongoing project and we won't rest until every dog has been spayed/neutered and vaccinated. Robert the Bruce and his siblings were completely feral when they were trapped, and in the beginning, they would just SCREAM when we tried to handle them. Over time, they have learned that humans might not be the worst creatures that ever existed. At Bluebonnet's home base, he has lived in our barn with exposure to goats and barn cats, and of course more livestock guardian dogs. We don't know which of the adult LGDs on the ranch are his parents, but most of the adults that we have trapped, have weighed at least 90 lbs. Speaking of adults -- the rancher started with Akbash, Anatolian, and Great Pyrenees. Most of the dogs and puppies that we have seen look like full Akbash, Akbash/Anatolian mix or Akbash/Great Pyrenees mix. All of the puppies in this litter are solid white and look like full Akbash pups, but we can't say that with certainty since we don't know which adults are their parents.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Emma is one of 6 puppies born to Akbash mom Victoria on a ranch in Central Texas, in the middle of the pasture, surrounded by goats and longhorn cattle. There are multiple working livestock guardian dogs on the ranch, so dad to the puppies is likely an Akbash or Great Pyrenees. Since coming to Bluebonnet, Emma and her siblings have had 3 rounds of vaccinations, along with deworming and monthly preventives. Texas law requires us to spay/neuter all puppies within a certain timeframe, but we can adopt them out on a provisional adoption agreement that is finalized only after the pup has been sterilized. These puppies can be adopted as a family pet/companion, or as future livestock guardians. Either way, they will need appropriate training and supervision, whether that's crate-training and potty-training, or getting them through the stages that even the best LGD puppies go through when they think livestock are playmates. These puppies have NOT been exposed to chickens -- only to goats and cattle. They have had some exposure to our barn cats, but would need proper introductions and supervision in order to live with house cats.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. In the summer of 2025, we rescued a group of puppies from a ranch in Central Texas where there were more than 60 dogs needing help. An elderly rancher had 5 livestock guardian dogs protecting his Boer goats, and he never got any of them sterilized, so the natural result was breeding. It only takes a few generations for the population to EXPLODE. This group of pups may represent two different litters -- we're not sure, but there appear to be two different age groups. We gave them all names from the Toy Story movies. Jessie is a calm, shy girl who loves playing in the water, playing with toys, playing with other dogs, and shredding old magazines. She is learning to have good manners living inside the house, and often retreats inside a crate to play quietly on her own. We have crates throughout our home, and the crate doors are open so dogs can come and go freely. It's a good way to get them conditioned to thinking the crate is a safe space, so if we need to close the crate door, they don't panic. Other pups from the same ranch have grown up to be 100+ lbs, so it's entirely possible that Jessie will be equally large once she's fully grown. If you need a giant puppy in your life, please complete the application on our website. It's best done on a PC; it's accessible by phone and tablet, but some users report trouble getting past the final CAPTCHA to submit the app. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 7, 2026, 7:05 pm

Story
Leroy is a big, handsome Anatolian Shepherd and Great Pyrenees mix who was born November 24, 2025. He weighs about 85 pounds and has a beautiful long coat of brown, tan, black, and white.Leroy was just a puppy when his rescue angel found him sitting in the middle of the road waiting for someone to save him. He was the only puppy in his foster home, but that didn't stop him from quickly befriending all the adult dogs. Leroy still thinks he runs the place. He loves to play with dogs of every size and is surprisingly gentle with the little ones, even though he is now a big boy who can easily keep up with the larger dogs.Leroy is happiest at home with his people and his dog friends. He loves attention, treats, and being a huge cuddle bug indoors. Outside, his livestock guardian heritage comes through. He enjoys roughhousing with his toys, exploring the yard, and spending time outdoors. One of his absolute favorite activities is playing in his dog pool.Leroy needs a securely fenced yard where he can safely enjoy his outdoor time. He sometimes prefers sleeping outside and will let his foster mom know when he thinks it is too hot or too cold to come inside. He enjoys having the freedom to choose between relaxing indoors with his family and spending time outside.Leroy is crate trained and lets his foster family know when he needs to go outside. He appears to be house trained and has done very well in his foster home.Leroy is not a fan of leashes or car rides, so he is looking for a family that wants a stay-at-home companion rather than a frequent travel partner. He is good with dogs and does well with children and seniors, but he is not good with cats.Most of all, Leroy is a big, silly, joyful young dog who makes people smile just by enjoying life. He would love a home with room to play, a secure yard, plenty of attention, and perhaps a canine friend or two to share his adventures.Leroy is fully vetted, neutered, microchipped, current on vaccinations, and current on heartworm and flea and tick prevention.

Story
Trip had to have his leg amputated as it healed improperly after it was broken while he was a growing puppy. However, he is one of the happiest, silliest boys you could hope to meet. He lives with many other dogs and is a favorite playmate for most of them. He loves all his canine buddies and is also fine around cats. Trip loves all humans he meets and would be a great addition to any home looking for a playful, outgoing dog. He is crate-trained primarily and will ask to go outside; however, he has not been able to stay up for longer than overnight without a potty break. He does not get many chances to go for car rides, but enjoys it when he can. Trip is fully vetted - current with all vaccines, on heartworm and flea/tick prevention, neutered and microchipped.
