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
Beetle is a 3-year-old Akita mix with a huge personality and an even bigger heart. Sweet, playful, and incredibly smart, Beetle is the kind of dog who dives into life with enthusiasm—whether that’s a spirited game of tug-of-war, chasing a ball, splashing around in a kiddie pool, or curling up close to his favorite people afterward (yes, he will happily sit right in your lap). Beetle is affectionate and people-oriented, thriving on connection and quality time. He loves learning and is currently working on his basic training with our staff, and knows "Sit" and is working on polite greetings with new people. He enjoys playgroups and has done great meeting people and dogs, especially those who enjoy a more physical, wrestling-and-chasing style of play. Beetle regularly goes on Doggy Day Outs and shines in those environments, showing just how loving, fun, and special he is outside the shelter. With the right home—one that appreciates his energy, brains, and affection—Beetle will be a deeply loyal, joyful companion. If you’re looking for a smart, playful dog who’s ready to keep learning and loves hard once he’s yours, Beetle might just be your perfect match. This dog would greatly benefit from a foster home where they can continue to thrive and blossom.

Story
Meet TMeet Timothy 💛 Timothy has been patiently waiting for his second chance since November after being transferred in from another shelter—and he’s so ready to find a place to call home. He may be a little shy when meeting new people, but give him a little time and you’ll discover just how special he is. Once he feels safe, Timothy is incredibly sweet, cuddly, and loyal. He loves being close to his people (he might even try to climb right into your lap!) and truly thrives on that connection. Timothy is a big fan of the simple joys in life—toys, tasty treats, and cozy snuggles. He especially enjoys enrichment activities like snuffle mats, chews, and puzzles, and his love of food makes it easy (and fun!) to continue building his confidence. The shelter environment has been overwhelming for him at times, so he’s looking for a home where he can settle in at his own pace. With a little patience and a calm approach, his gentle and affectionate personality really shines through. Timothy does well with other dogs and would just benefit from slow, proper introductions to help him feel comfortable and set him up for success. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a soft, snuggly side, Timothy might just be your perfect match. 🐾💛 Interested in meeting me? Submit an adoption application, and our foster team will reach out by email to coordinate a meet and greet with my foster family. 🐾💛
