Story
Wolfie is a sociable, energetic boy who loves people and enjoys meeting other dogs, though he can be intimidating at first and may need a confident introduction before he settles in. He’s eager to play and he has a playful streak with water hoses that never fails to bring a smile. He weighs 89 pounds and is approximately 3-4 years old.??Wolfie is still learning the leash. He is learning to come when called and sits nicely when prompted. He is a homebody at heart, but he still needs plenty of exercise to burn off his occasional bursts of energy. He also enjoys walks with his humans.??Located in Houston, Texas. Transport to most states available for an additional fee of $300.

Story
Bear is a large goofy exuberant puppy who requires lots of exercise and patience. He clearly is a stunning dog and therefore everyone wants to take him home. He will require a dog savvy person or someone committed to following through with training and providing lots of exercise. Bear is looking for a home with a fenced in yard not an underground fence but a physical one. Bear can be protective of his toys and food, but only with other dogs. Bear is not a “dog park”dog.Please message us for more details home visit and adoption donation required

Story
Meet This Handsome Akita Pup! This 11-month-old male Akita came to us as an owner surrender through no fault of his own—his previous owner simply had too many Akitas. And trust us, this boy is an absolute gem. He is very friendly, loves people, and is always excited to explore new things. True to his breed, he adores the cold and snow and would thrive with an active family who enjoys getting outside. He’s still got puppy manners and puppy energy, so he’ll need continued training, structure, and outlets to keep both his body and brain busy. ? Playful ? Curious ? Social and people-loving ? Full of young-dog energy If you’re looking for a loyal companion and have the time, patience, and dedication to train and exercise a young Akita, this boy could be your perfect match. Do you have the time to help him grow into the amazing adult dog he’s meant to be?

Story
Meet Theresa, a beautiful 3-year-old Akita with a quiet elegance and a gentle heart. She came to us as a stray, and while her past is a bit of a mystery, her personality is slowly shining through. Theresa is friendly and affectionate with people she knows and trusts. New situations can be a little overwhelming for her—she can be nervous around loud noises and is still learning to feel comfortable walking on a leash. With patience, consistency, and reassurance, she continues to make progress every day. Because of her sensitive nature, Theresa would do best in a calm home with someone who has Akita experience and understands the value of going at her pace. Given time to settle in and feel secure, she has the potential to be a deeply loyal and loving companion.If you’re looking for a graceful soul who just needs patience and understanding to truly blossom, Theresa may be the perfect match. Theresa currently weighs 86 pounds. If you are interested in meeting Theresa, please visit the shelter during our open hours; Mon, Tues, Wed, Fri 10a-12:30p & 2p-4p, Thurs 10a-12:30p & 2p-6:30p, and Saturday 9a-1p. Adoption application can be filled out and approved during your meet-and-greet. If you have another dog in the home, plan to bring them for a meet before you complete the adoption!

Story
❄️Lobo❄️ This handsome guy is Lobo ❤️ He is a gorgeous white Husky with piercing blue eyes. Lobo is a total sweetheart but he is a typical Husky who needs an experienced owner and a sturdy fence. Lobo is a big, strong boy who loves playing outside but also also enjoys being a couch potato and watching tv while he enjoys a good chew bone. Lobo is doing well with his house training and is good in his secure crate. He is fine with other dogs with proper introductions and loves every person he meets. He can still get a bit excited when meeting new people and may need to be reminded of how big he is. Lobo would be best as a companion dog where he can go on fun hikes and walks or runs where he can got out his Husky energy. He would be fine with older children but might be a bit to rambunctious for young children. If this boy sounds like the perfect fit for your lifestyle, please submit an application. Lobo can’t wait to meet his forever family and start his new life.

Story
🐾 Meet North 🐾 Born: July 2025 North is a bright, energetic boy who is just stepping into his teenage phase and ready to take on the world with a real family by his side. He and his brother were heartbreakingly tossed aside like litter once they were no longer tiny and convenient, but it’s clear these pups once knew love — and they crave it deeply. North came into rescue without leash manners or structure, but don’t let that fool you — this boy is smart. With consistency and positive guidance, he’s already doing wonderfully on leash and thriving in doggy daycare. He’s the more energetic of the two brothers and would be a fantastic match for an active family or individual who enjoys walks, adventures, and mental enrichment. He rides well in the car, loves attention, and is expected to grow into a medium-sized dog. North would shine in a home ready to continue his training and help guide him through this fun (and sometimes goofy) teenage stage. In return, you’ll get a loyal, affectionate companion who wants nothing more than to belong.
