Story

Dior is a female adult Bulldog mix who lives life like she’s walking the runway at all times. This classy gal is very sweet, very well mannered, and even knows a few tricks she’s happy to show off when the spotlight hits just right. She loves spending time outside, exploring at her own fashionable pace, and adding a little goofy flair to every adventure. Dior does have a heart murmur, but after a visit with the cardiologist she was given a clean bill of health — the extra sounds are likely just from her being a bit plump and fabulous. Playful, lovable, and full of charm, Dior proves that comfort, confidence, and cuteness never go out of style.Dogs: UnknownCats: UnknownKids: Unknown

Story

Meet Oreo – Your Perfect-Size Snuggle Buddy Who doesn’t love an Oreo? I’m Oreo, an 11-month-old, 43-pound bully mix from Texas, and I’m just the right size for your heart and your couch. I’m a curious, affectionate pup who loves to watch the world from the window—dogs, people, squirrels, you name it. I’m super food-motivated and eager to please, which makes training a breeze, especially if treats are involved. I may take a second to figure out what you’re asking, but I always try my best to get it right. Physical touch is my love language—I’m a total Velcro dog who needs to be close to my people at all times. I adore snuggles, belly rubs, and go absolutely crazy for butt scratches. I’m playful, goofy, and love curling up next to you (or on you, if you’ll let me). In my foster home, I live with another dog and we get along great. We enjoyed running and playing together at the dog park. I’m fully potty trained and sleep soundly through the night in my crate without any accidents. I’m also good on a leash and enjoy going for walks. I’ve seen children at adoption events and have done well with them, but I don’t currently live with any. I haven’t met any cats yet, so I’m not sure how I’d feel about them. If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal, and cuddly companion who will follow you everywhere and always be ready for snuggles, I might just be the perfect pup for you. I’m a great size and will easily fit in your home, on your lap, or right in the middle of a puppy pile. Could I be the Oreo your life is missing?

Story

🐾 Meet Fletcher – A Loyal Soul Learning to Trust Again 🐾 Fletcher’s story didn’t start kindly. He came to us from a Texas shelter where dogs are euthanized for space, and he was running out of time. We don’t know the full details of his past, but it’s clear Fletcher loved his humans deeply — and was abandoned and let down. When Fletcher arrived, he had a large scar on his back leg, a quiet reminder of the neglect he endured before rescue. The injury rarely causes him to limp, and he has been fully vet-checked and medically cleared. It’s an old injury and no further medical care is needed. Because of this history, Fletcher is slow to warm up. He wants to love again, but he’s afraid to give his whole heart and risk being hurt another time. Once he trusts you, his loyalty is unmatched. 🏡 At Home Fletcher is a champion sleeper and an elite cuddler. He’s calm, laid-back indoors, and happiest curled up next to his person — often taking over the entire bed. A home that doesn’t mind a bed hog is a must! 🐶 With Other Dogs Fletcher does great with other dogs and enjoys their company, but he needs slow, respectful introductions. As long as the other dog is friendly with him, he does very well. 👨‍👩‍👧 With People & Kids Fletcher is warming up more every day but still needs his space at times. He does best with adults or older kids who understand dog body language and boundaries. Younger children are not his ideal match. When he’s uncomfortable, he will back up and growl — he has never snapped. We strongly believe in respecting his signals. 🎓 Training & Progress Fletcher is learning and building confidence: ✔️ Knows sit ✔️ Goes into his crate/cage ✔️ Waits for food ✔️ Continuing to learn at his own pace ✨ What Makes Fletcher Special • Deeply loyal once bonded • Emotionally intuitive — comforts you when you’re sad • Calm, relaxed energy indoors • Great with dogs after proper introductions • A true “heart dog” for the right person ⚠️ Things to Know • Nervous around new people • Very expressive and “talkative,” especially when playtime ends 🏡 Fletcher’s Ideal Home • Any activity level • Adults or older teens preferred • No young children • Large yard is a bonus • Patient, dog-savvy humans • A home that understands fear-based behaviors • Someone who will prove love can be permanent Fletcher isn’t looking for perfection — he’s looking for safety, consistency, and commitment. In return, he’ll give devotion, comfort, and a love that runs deep. If you’re willing to move at his pace and earn his trust, Fletcher will give you his whole heart. 💙🐾 Ready to meet your new best friend? I can’t wait to find my forever family!
