Story
Meet Rio 'Member that scene from Lady and the Tramp where the dogs are sharing a single spaghetti? It's fake. I know this because no dog in their right tooting mind is going to share a pawsta string when there's an entire heckin meatball on the plate. Next thing you know we will find out that wasn't even pawsta, it was squash impersonating a pawsta :0 Either way, I'd have to have a stunt double for that scene because I do not enjoy sharing my food or treats. Foster Mom is practicing better table manners with me. Sharing is caring. She says. Which is ironical because she's never once so much as offered me even a nibble of her oreo cookies. I litterally look like an Oreo cookie which happens to be my Foster Moms favorite treat. Hint hint, send her a pallet for all the schooling she is doing for me. I LOVE TO TRAIN and Foster Mom says I'm a super fast learner. Indeed, I will do whatever a human wants for a food. I know my name, Rio, plus sit, come, down, come, "rest for cooperative care and a hand target. Speaking of Target, before you pick me up, be sure to stop off and get me lots of fetch toys. Get yourself something pretty too, like some chenille slippers, yeah, for yourself, I pawmise not to touch them. *crosses fingers behind his back* Foster Mom has been working with me on my dog-on-dog skills because I can be a real booger. I need a special kind of dog friend. Her own personal dog Jax is serving as my mentor. Here's what Jax has to say about me "Bruh, calm down. Dude, you need a home with a chill dog that is not easily annoyed. One that won't lash out but will still correct your obnoxiousness and inappropriate play. One that will tolerate your shenanigans. Okay, so you heard that raving review from my buddy ole pal compadre Jax. Note to self, find out what obnoxiousness, tolerate and inappropriate means, because honestly all I heard was chili dog and got hungry while visions of weenies danced in my head. :) Foster Mom did say, I would do best with a sturdy dog, my size or larger. I guess you need to know my size. I'm a ruff and tumble and mouthy player so your dog would have to be more of a rugby than hockey player. I have lots of fans on the internet and they also told me to be sure to mention my floppy ears, my freckled snooter and the fact that my feet most likely smell like frito pie which I'm fairly sure is a compliment. So if it helps to butter you up with compliments, I bet you smell like cheese because I think you're grate! Like most spunky young pups, I get the zoomies when excited. I love to play fetch and tug. I'm working on sharing my toys. I do need lots of approved chew toys such as pig ears. That reminds me, I am not good with cats. Cats are not approved toys. Cats are NOT approved toys. Worth repeating. I am crate trained, pretty much standard pawcedure. I did also try my heck hardest to get Foster Mom to give me driving lessons, so I could add that to my skill list, but she said "No Rio, dogs can't drive. I guess she's never seen a Subaru commercial. I like car rides but I don't enjoy being restrained so we are working on that too. I am loveable and active. Bath time and nail clip time are not a problem. Occasionally I impersonate a potato on the couch, but fun is more my taste. Foster Mom says if you are the type who enjoys entertaining antics and doesn't mind providing extra guidance, you'd be happy as my family. I would be good as an only son, but if you have current dogs that don't mind EXTRA level whippersnappers, that might work too. Foster Mom is a professional trainer and is willing to give you tips on how to make sure I stay on the path to good boy town. I'm excited to go to goodboyville with you as long as there are snacks and pit stops along the way. P.S. You're driving to good boy town, because 'member, Foster Mom wouldn't teach me how to drive. It's beyond her skill set. $200 Local Adoption Fee (in Texas) $400 Out of State Fee (includes transportation to your area)

Story
Meet Princessa Graceful, gentle, and sweet as can be, Princessa is a true lady through and through. Her life took a sudden turn when her family had to return to Nicaragua. Sadly, the airline wouldn’t allow her on the plane, saying the cargo heat could have been dangerous for her. That heartbreaking twist brought her into rescue, and now she’s looking for a forever family to love her just as much as she loves back. Princessa is calm and mild-mannered, the kind of companion who fits right into a cozy home. She gets along beautifully with kids and other dogs, but she’s no wild child—she’s happiest with calm, steady company. She enjoys daily walks, car rides, and treats. At first, Princessa may be a little shy as she adjusts to life without the only home she’s ever known. All she needs is a gentle voice, a little patience, and a bowl of food to remind her she’s safe—and before long, she’ll be leaning in for kisses as your loyal best friend. Fun fact: Princessa currently only understands Spanish commands and is starting to learn English—so her new family gets to enjoy the bonus of a bilingual best friend! If you’re looking for a kindhearted, huggable companion who will quietly steal your heart, Princessa may be the perfect match. Local adoption fee is $200(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)

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!

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.

Hi, I'm Mr. Lavender! Yes, I know—Lavender is a fancy name. I’m basically a four-legged scented candle. But don’t let the name fool you... I’m 100% boy, 100% chaos, and 1000% lovable. I’m a sweet, floppy goof who lives for three things: food, stuffies, and turbo zoomies. You got a snack? I’m there. You drop a crumb? I saw it before it hit the ground. I take my job as kitchen assistant very seriously—I’m my foster mom’s shadow, sous-chef, and quality control expert (taste-testing strongly encouraged). When I’m not helping in the kitchen, I’m cuddling my stuffies like a big ol’ baby. I bring them everywhere. Bed? Stuffies. Couch? Stuffies. Bathroom trip you didn’t invite me on? Don’t worry, I brought a stuffy and I'm standing outside the door. I love people, I love fun, and I love you already—and we just met!
