Story
He was rescued at 1 year old from a nonviolent elderly gentleman unable to care for him. He’s currently 5 years old and still has springs in his feet. He doesn’t have a mean bone in his body and he’s a love bug at heart who is willing to be a lap dog if allowed. Loves food, loves car rides, hiking, boat rides, and running on the beach. He can swim but gets nervous in the water. He isn’t aggressive with other dogs, but sometimes gets overly excited and he doesn’t know when to stop playing. He has successfully cohabitated with cats. Needs daily walks/exercise to manage energy. Does extremely well with a remote collar. He will kiss all of your guests to death if allowed. Perfect for a home with school age or older children or an active retiree. Needs consistent activity and love. He is chipped and has never missed a vet appointment or shot.

Meet Roy, a bright, happy spirit who brings a burst of joy wherever he goes.

With his wagging tail, eager smile, and playful energy, Roy is ready to embrace a fresh start and he hopes it will be with a family who sees just how special he is.Roy gets along with other dogs, He’s also good with cats. And when it comes to people? Roy absolutely shines. He adores meeting new humans, from adults to kids, and is always ready to share his warmth, affection, and boundless enthusiasm.This highly energetic boy has a big zest for life and would thrive in a home with plenty of room to stretch his legs—ideally a large yard where he can run, explore, and burn off his puppy-like excitement. He’d be thrilled to have multiple playmates, whether they’re two-legged or four-legged, and he’s happiest when he’s included in the fun.Roy is ready for a family who can match his upbeat, playful nature and offer him the structure, love, and adventure he craves.

Story
Meet Lovely Lindy...This pretty girl was pulled from a Texas shelter on what was supposed to be her last day (cue the dramatic movie music). A retired foster scooped her up just in time, and this brave, belly-full mama delivered her adorable litter like a champ. After raising her pups, Lindy got spayed, powered through heartworm treatment like the strong Southern gal she is, and is now heartworm-free and loving life.💖 Personality & Perks:—Professional cuddle buddy, especially after a nice walk or adventure.—Loves her humans and even will be your dance partner! https://youtube.com/shorts/D5T5eVV4HDA?feature=share —Plays great with large dogs. Small dogs are unknown. Prefers males and needs slow intros.— She needs slow intros with humans too , especially females, once she is comfortable and trusts you she will be ready for snuggles. — Cats? Meh — when cat-tested, she gave them the ol’ “not impressed” look and moved on._Small Children are a NO, She does not like the excitement little ones bring, so we are saying Lindy needs a home with children over age 12. —House-trained (doggie door pro!) and working on her leash manners — her love of treats makes training a breeze.—Lindy does well in the car. She is all about the road trip vibes.🌿 Ideal Home:An active family or person who loves a good walk, hike, or adventure — followed by quality couch snuggles, of course. Miss Lindy isn’t “hyper,” just the perfect mix of energy and chill.Check her out enjoying a wonderful stroll:https://youtube.com/shorts/Rj9Y7Nw68fc?feature=sharedAnd then obviously smelling something in a downed tree:https://youtube.com/shorts/gfyzl54ow-o?feature=sharedShe’s spent her life making sure everyone else was taken care of — now it’s her turn!

Story
Hershey is a wonderful boy! Sweet, shy, curious and playful Hershey is one of a kind. Hershey is a shy dog with a gentle soul who is worth getting to know. He will capture your heart in a second with his soulful eyes. The way to this boy's heart is patience, understanding, some yummy treats and toys.Having a reserved disposition, this sweet boy is looking for a quiet home without young children. This boy thrives in a calm environment where his people understand his need to adjust at his own pace. His adopters will need patience and understanding that Hershey will blossom with this patience. He will pay you back for your patience with his little nudges of confidence. He will follow you around and supervise your daily routine.Hershey has been working on basic commands, leash walking, and learning to trust humans. Hershey also enjoys sunbathing and MUST HAVE a secure fence in yard to ensure his safety and provide him a space to explore confidently.While he takes time to warm up to new faces, his sweet and gentle nature shines through once he feels safe. He lights up around other dogs, so having a gentle furry sibling or two to learn from would be ideal.His foster family has done an amazing job helping him come out of his shell, and he's now ready for the next chapter of his journey.
