Story
Introducing Chloe, the spirited 7-year-old rescue terrier with a heart as big as her 70-pound frame. This lovable canine companion is a cherished member of her foster family. With a zest for life, Chloe's favorite pastime is embracing the great outdoors, where she can be found either playfully frolicking in the grass, basking in the sun, or on her favorite spot - the cozy couch. Chloe is a well-mannered, house-trained beauty, adored for her affinity for both adventure and relaxation. She's a pro at the art of lounging but equally enthusiastic about exploring new places, especially if it involves a thrilling car ride. Her kennel-trained demeanor showcases her discipline and intelligence, making her a delight to be around. One of Chloe's most endearing qualities is her love for company, especially when it comes to puppies - she joyfully engages in playtime, demonstrating her gentle nature. This sweet girl has a special fondness for other dogs, particularly those who are more submissive. A meet-and-greet with potential furry friends is recommended, as Chloe's gentle nature truly shines in the company of like-minded companions. Nothing brings out her contentment more than belly rubs and the warmth of a caring hand. Chloe's boundless affection and playful spirit make her not just a pet but a cherished family member, reminding everyone lucky enough to know her that rescue dogs like her have an extraordinary capacity for love and happiness. She is fully vetted, heartworm negative & on preventatives, spayed, & microchipped. She is being fostered in a home in Seguin, TX.

Story
Zyi is 8 years old and a big baby when someone is with her 24/7. She has issues with being left alone so someone that works from home or retired would be best. She gets along great with cats. DOGS ARE A NO. She is very stubborn with where she sleeps on the bed but just wants to be held all the time. Great with getting her nails clipped, bath time, crate trained, house trained. She likes going on hikes and walks. Anything that deals with being beside you all the time she wants to do. Very food motivated but really loves pig ears. She is good with children but not really suitable for a house with multiple young kids as it’s a bit loud for her. She is a top tier cuddle buddy. She has burst of energy but they only last like 2 minutes. Old stuffed animals are her favorite to tear up.

Story
Meet Blue! We rescued him from McKamey Animal Shelter in 2023 and have loved him dearly ever since. He is the perfect mix of snuggly and playful. He loves to cuddle on the couch as much as he enjoys to play fetch and go on a walk. Blue is house trained and crate trained. He is great about not chewing on household items or begging for food. He loves his stuffed toys and is very gentle with them - no destructive chewing! He plays well with other dogs at the dog park and loves people. Blue unfortunately has gotten anxious with our crawling infant but has done great with older children so would do best in a home with no children/only older kids. We are devastated to part with our boy but feel it's in the best interest for both him and our baby so they can both get all of the attention and love that they need.

Nova is a sweet 4 year old girl who is potty trained, crate trained, and is great on long car rides. She loves my cat and never meets a stranger. My new apartment has breed restrictions and she cannot stay here. She needs someone who will love her, cuddle her, and let her just lay up on the couch or a dog bed. She is a lazy girl and a great companion for anyone who lives alone.

He’s a sweet pup who was found by a coworker. She was going to take him to the shelter but we decided to take him in. Our two 8 year old boys love him and we do too, but with our busy schedules he just isn’t getting the attention he needs. He’s learned to potty outside and sleeps through the night in our laundry room with a baby gate. He’s very playful, loves to play fetch with a frisbee, and he loves to play with other dogs.

I adopted Peter Pan from the humane society in Chattanooga. He was in an abusive situation and when they got him, he had infections everywhere on his body and he had been beat up by other dogs. He is such a loving and trusting boy and has overcome his fear of dogs except other pitbulls( he is scared of them) he loves other animals and especially cats! He does really well with children all the way down to age two. He loves to cuddle and lay his head on your lap. He loves to watch tv and lay on pillows or blankets. He loves being near his people and loves his dog bones. Whoever gets this special fella will fall in love with him the way I did.

He is super mellow, pretty low maintenance but does crave 10 minute walk in afternoon/evening. Great with people, doesn’t bark, but growls with other dogs but I think after initial growling meeting, he could get accustomed to another dog. We got a cat and he growled at first, then ended up sharing his bed with cat. He marks our floors if we don't keep an eye on him.

Story
Calling all Boxer lovers....or any dog lover for that matter! Check out sweet Bea. She's got the squishiest face and personality to match. In true Boxer fashion, she's an exuberant wigglebutt with lots of energy, and is quickly learning her leash manners. While Bea adores people, she seems disinterested in other dogs, and would likely do well with school-aged children or older. She passed all parts of her behavior assessment and is ready to find her forever home. PS - As one of our staff mentioned, she has the cutest "butt dimples". You've just got to come meet her!
