Story
Granny Thelma and Lady Louise have been together their whole lives. They had the same owner who clearly loved them so much. They came into animal control after DPD picked them up from a call where their owner was DOA. Their owner truly did everything right — both girls are spayed, heartworm negative, and Thelma’s microchip shows it was implanted 13 years ago, when she was just a pup. They were very much house dogs, loved, and even a little chunky. He did everything right… just not outlive them. 💔 The shelter made a plea for them, asking please don’t let this be their final resting place… and no one stepped up. When we saw them again at the shelter, sad in their kennels, we figured — what’s two more temporary house guests at the senior center we’ve got going on right now? 🤪 And these two have been incredible house guests. They clearly know what it’s like to live in a home. They love the couch, dog beds, and being together. They’re potty trained, quiet, content, sweet as pie, and so far don’t need to be crated at all. They sleep peacefully curled up side by side. They enjoy the presence of the other dogs, especially calm old fart dogs like them. They are deeply bonded. When I gave Thelma (the older sister with hip issues) a bath, Louise climbed in and literally positioned herself between Thelma and the wall to help prop her up. 🥹 They’re almost always touching, and Louise gets frantic if Thelma wanders off without her. They don’t mind our dogs one bit, and I actually think living with other dogs could be really beneficial — Louise is going to be absolutely shattered when she eventually loses her sister. 😭 Both girls are overall healthy. Thelma is in the beginning stages of renal failure and has arthritis in her back hips — stairs and getting on/off the couch are hard — but she’s a determined old lady. Louise has fewer mobility issues but still prefers a little royal lift onto the couch. 😂 I know this is a big, big ask… but there has to be someone out there for two easygoing, gentle souls who’ve lost everything except each other.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Patsy (aka Patsy Potato ) Patsy—lovingly known as Patsy Potato—is a low-riding, 40-pound pitbull/bulldog mix with the kind of soulful eyes that tell a whole story. Born around January 2023, Patsy hasn’t had the easiest start to life, but she’s finally ready for what comes next: a real home of her own. For far too long, Patsy’s world was small. She was forced to have multiple litters before she came into our care, and all she knew for years was a birthing box. Despite that, Patsy has shown us just how resilient and gentle she truly is. She’s now recovered enough to begin searching for her forever family, and we couldn’t be more excited for her next chapter. Patsy is a dog who will thrive with the right human—someone patient, kind, and willing to help her discover the world at her pace. She doesn’t need someone to rush her or expect perfection. What she needs is a partner who will celebrate the small wins, offer consistency, and show her that life can be safe, calm, and even fun. Patsy’s Ideal Home: No young children — she’d do best in a home with no kids or kids over 15 No cats — they’re just not her thing Possibly a chill male dog — with proper introductions A home committed to continued training, confidence-building, and patience Patsy may be new to the big world, but she’s ready to learn. With the right guidance, she has so much potential to blossom into an incredible companion. She doesn’t need saving—she needs understanding, time, and love. If you’re the kind of person who believes the best bonds are built slowly and deeply, Patsy Potato might just be your girl. Apply to adopt Patsy at Busterdogs.com Give Patsy the life she’s always deserved.

Zoe and Rusty were stray dogs running on a highway near Raymond, MS. After owners were unable to be located they were placed up for adoption. Zoe is a very gentle and smart dog. She is very good on a leash and knows the sit and heel commands. Zoe and Rusty seem to be heavily bonded. They are both super sweet dogs. Zoe is more laid back, and Rusty is a typical lab - very playful!! Zoe and Rusty are in Mississippi, and the adoption fee includes transportation to you. We use Rescue Riders, the most reliable transporters on the road. Please respond for an application!
