Story
Dakota is a handsome name, kind of a "rugged" kind of name, right?? I am kind of a REFINED RUGGED kind of boy! For instance, I am a busy boy, I love playing and running with my doggy friends, however, I can lay at your feet very sweetly to beg for your attention. I am kind of like a "reverse" planter as well. I mean, you plant it and i will un-plant it for you :D I won't do it often, just when I want your attention and I am outside alone. So see?? you have great control over that urge! So I am a food and toy lover too, I eat out of a slow feeder bowl because wolfing down my food is not an option! I am learning all things toys and am actually learning how to bring the ball BACK after you throw it. I am a smart and very sweet boy. I do absolutely have a prey drive so no kitties for small furry mammals around me please. I am fully potty trained and great in a crate. Now i just need you to adopt me to complete my circle of life. Now, before you go all "Lion King" on me, just know that I will be your bestest buddy forever!! I am two VERY loyal breeds and once I know you are my family, you will have my unending love :) Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)

Meet Pearlena, a truly precious female Akita mix around two years old and weighing a gentle 65 pounds. Pearlena is a beautiful girl with a wonderfully calm temperament. While she may be a little quiet and shy initially, she is incredibly loving once she opens up, promising deep and lasting devotion to her family. She is immediately good with new people and surprisingly excels with canine companions, being good with small dogs. If you're looking for a stunning, medium-sized companion who offers a quiet, affectionate presence and makes friends easily with smaller pups, Pearlena is the gentle jewel you've been searching for!

Story
Meet Wynona, the gentle soul who is ready to turn your house into a home. If you’re looking for a companion who embodies the phrase "quiet, cute, and cuddly," look no further. Wynona is a master of the easygoing lifestyle; whether she’s enjoying a calm car ride or exploring a new neighborhood, she handles every adventure with a silent, steady confidence that is rare to find. A Natural at Home Life Wynona has an incredible knack for settling in. Upon arriving at her foster home, she immediately began exploring her surroundings with a curious but respectful sniff. She has already mastered the art of the leash, making her the perfect partner for crisp morning walks. Don’t worry about the winter chill—this hardy girl doesn’t mind the cold one bit! While she’s still learning the ropes of "playtime," she has recently discovered the joys of an antler chew and is showing a sophisticated interest in her new hobbies. Affectionate & Attentive The way to Wynona’s heart is through pets and scratches. She is a world-class snuggler who isn't afraid to advocate for her needs; if you stop the ear scratches a moment too soon, she’ll give you a tiny, endearing head butt or a gentle paw to remind you she’s still there. She is exceptionally polite when it comes to snacks, taking treats with a "gentle mouth" that makes her a joy to reward. The Quiet Companion In a world of noisy neighbors, Wynona is a breath of fresh air. She is remarkably quiet, only finding her voice for a brief moment if she hears a friend barking nearby. Because she is such a blank slate, she’s currently operating under the title of "Good Girl"—a name she responds to with wagging tails and soulful eyes. She is ready for a family who will give her a name of her own and a lifetime of the love she so clearly deserves.
