Puppies, Puppies, Puppies! This adorable trio is full of fun, wiggles, and personality! They love squeaky toys, playing outside, and chasing the bigger dogs around the yard—though sometimes they decide chewing on each other is just as fun. After all that excitement, you’ll find them sunbathing in the yard, soaking up the warmth while watching all the action around them. They’re smart, treat-motivated, and eager to learn, which makes training a breeze. They’ve already mastered the doggy door, and that’s helping them make great progress with potty training. These sweet, playful pups are ready to bring joy, laughter, and lots of puppy kisses to their forever families! Local adoption fee is $250(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Heidi's the name and hikes, walks, and treats are the game! Catch the treat in the air...the very bestest game! I also enjoy the sofa like of the Netflix and chill. Versatility is important if I'm going to be your main squeeze. Speaking of which...I prefer a monogamous relationship. I mean..sister wives are fine so long as the sister wife is hooman and plans to also dotes on me. Smaller animals remind me of squirrels and squirrels look delicious! Foster mom says kissing them with my teeth isn't nice so..no little furry things for me ...I guess. Killjoys! If you're active, like to take long walks and car rides, hikes and watching marathons of Jason Mamoa movies..swipe right! I'm your girl! I'm pulling your leg..Better than peeing on it. I won't do that either though. I'm potty and kennel trained like the perfect princess I am. Just fill out the application and come meet me! https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/GDR/Dog Heidi is a wonderful and loving dog who just wants to be with her person. She can clear a 4 ft fence in a single leap though to find you so a 6 ft fence is a must and an active lifestyle would suit her best. She is very well behaved in public and enjoys meeting new people. Confident, loving, and full of kisses- just no other dogs or animals, she is MORE than enough love for you :) Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Meet Nyla, a loving and playful Pitbull Terrier mix who wears the title of "mom" with pride. Nyla's vibrant spirit shines through in her playful antics and her deep affection for belly rubs. When the excitement of playtime kicks in, she has a cute habit of gently taking your hand in her mouth, showing her eagerness for some interactive fun. Nyla has been making great progress in her leash training, proving her willingness to learn and adapt. Baths might not be her favorite activity, as she's a bit wary of water, but her courageous spirit is helping her overcome her fears one step at a time. She's also conquered her initial trepidation of wearing a collar and being on a leash, showing her determination to embrace new experiences. This sweet girl is a fan of knotted ropes and treats - two things that always bring a sparkle to her eyes. While she's currently enjoying the company of her housemates, we're still exploring her comfort level around other dogs. With time and patience, we hope to see Nyla's social circle expand. Nyla's journey is one of growth and transformation, and she's ready to continue that journey with a loving forever family. If you're looking for a loyal companion who will shower you with affection and make every moment a joyful one, Nyla might just be the perfect match for you. Open your heart to Nyla and discover the true meaning of unconditional love and companionship. Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area - $50 Temporary Fuel Charge will be added)

Story
Hi, I’m George (Georgie)!🐶✨ Full-time good boy. Part-time toddler wrangler. I’m a professional napper, expert snack detector, and self-appointed neighborhood squirrel patrol. I live with my 2.5-year-old foster human—he’s sticky, loud, and a little clumsy, but I love him. We’re best friends. I help him eat things he drops (on purpose, I swear), and he helps me sneak onto the furniture. It’s a beautiful partnership. My hobbies include: 🦴 Chewing things that were definitely not meant for chewing 🚨 Barking at absolutely nothing 💤 Dramatic flops in high-traffic areas 💖 Following my tiny human like a shadow with a tail I take my job as emotional support floof very seriously. If you sit down, I will sit on you. If you’re eating, I will stare into your soul. And if you ask “Who’s a good boy?”—spoiler alert: it’s me.

Story
I'm gonna make you an wo-offer you can't refuse. That's Pacino's favorite phrase. The adoption deal is simple: a roof over his head, a cold dish of water, daily meals and treats, plus an abundance of love. What? It's a good deal! Pacino, now over a year old, has become a true Dogfather. He is well-behaved, happy-go lucky, is very handsome, and has a wonderful, playful nature; he fits seamlessly into any family. His lineage boasts a long line of Dog-Father's, tough dogs out in the world whose business is their own. But, they are loyal, loving and strong characters to have around you.. He's a potty-trained and crate-trained gentleman, but he still has a penchant for chewing. He adores treats and toys, but can go through them quickly. Proper and slow introductions to other dogs are essential. Pacino would thrive best with older kids. Join the legacy and give Pacino the family he deserves. After all, a dog like him is an offer you can't refuse. Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area - $50 Temporary Fuel Charge will be added)
