Story
Marshmallow is an extremely overactive and playful dog. She loves to be with kids playing or snuggling. She is fully house trained but when left alone for longer than she'd like, she will become defiant. She has not ever been aggressive with my children or their friends. I will be honest and say that she is not a fan of being kenneled and has gone through about 6 crates and beds. She will tear them apart and then scratch on your doors until she makes it all the way through. When I began to leave her outside to play and exhaust her (when appropriate temps) she began to dig and chew up the fence. She has escaped the back yard multiple times and dug holes big enough to make it through to the neighbors yard. I attempted to post her on fb, IG and even send her back to her homebase in San Antonio but have been unsuccessful. She is good with dogs but I will say she seems aggressive AT FIRST due to wanting to sniff other doggies and becomes extremely playful. She likes to shine.

Story
We adopted Loki when he was just a young adult and have had him in our home for almost five years now. He's very calm and lovable! We wanted to keep him, but because of our little toddler and our recent newborn, we found that we don't have the time to take care of him the way we think he deserves. He also has a brother, Grainger, who is a white and brown Bully Breed. We would like to rehome them together, but understand if we cannot make that happen. Grainger is around seven years old and very energetic and fun.

Story
We met Rylee when she was 9 months old, frightened in the back of her cage at the Fort Worth animal shelter. She had never been walked on a leash, was scared to walk into our home and would cower at the slightest sound. She was clearly abused and it took months to begin seeing rehabilitative changes in her. Once Rylee came out of her shell, she was joyful and energetic. We enjoyed trips to the dog park, walks around the neighborhood and more. However, upon moving from Fort Worth to Austin, Rylee became aggressive towards other dogs. *She has never shown an ounce of aggression towards a human.* On top of that, Rylee developed cancer last year. We paid to have it removed and how it is back again. We are moving back to fort worth and where we are staying will not allow Rylee to come. My wife and I are a mess at the moment trying to find a place for her. We are moving in a few days and everyone we have talked to are wary of her challenges with other dogs.

Story
We got Ringo from a shelter as a pup 2 years ago. He is neutered and and has had all his shots. 6 months ago he had surgery on both of his rear legs to correct a genetic problem which was causing him pain. He is good to go now and loves to run. Overall, Ringo is a great dog. He loves attention, is very playful, and listens well on walks. We have three young boys (6, 3, and 1). In general, Ringo does great with the boys. However, he has continuously showed food aggression by growling at our youngest despite our best efforts. Sadly, this is the reason for the rehoming and, while very difficult, we believe that finding another good home for Ringo will be for the best. He is full of energy so an active household without very young kids would probably be best.

Story
We found ourselves needing to move in with family and can only bring our smaller deaf dog. Smokey is energetic, playful, and has been great with my girls (ages 7&9). He does well with our other dog but I'm not sure how he will do with a new dog. He does not do well with cats. He walks well on leash and has taken well to crate training. Smokey has his shots and has been neutered.

Story
A charming gentleman, Snowy is a California boy. His owner passed away and the family did not want him and dumped him in a LA County Shelter for euthanasia. Unreal! He’s a doll, perfectly well mannered, perfect house guest even crate trained! He loves playing ball and carries his little tennis ball everywhere he goes. And car rides?? Destination anywhere for Snowy. Even a trip to Walmart is a joy ride for this kid. We hope someone can find him and love him as much as we do. Please respond and let's set up a fun meet and greet with Snowy, your new best friend. Courtesy listing, but Snowy comes with a whole package of Reunion Rescue resources. Backstory: Snowy was dumped in Los Angeles at a huge kill shelter by the family of his owner who'd passed away. Snowy didn't know what he'd done wrong. He was on the euthanasia list for the day when a good-hearted soul just happened to see him and got him on the transport to Texas where he was saved by Angela and Ruben of Dogtown Ranch and Sanctuary. Snowy is in foster care with two other dogs and his beloved tennis balls. Please get in touch with us to meet Snowy.
