Story

Get ready to meet the newest combo meal sensation, brought to you by McDonald's... Oops, we mean McDaddy and his sister wives, McMuffin and McFlurry! These delightful pups were discovered living in a McDonald's drive-thru, where they'd been flipping tails for months. The good news? One of the sister wives, McFlurry, has already found her forever home and is loving life! But the McDaddy-McMuffin duo is still awaiting their perfect match, whether that means together or apart. What's the secret sauce to their happiness? Well, these two definitely need another canine companion to keep those tails wagging! Let's meet the star of the show, McDaddy! He's a sweet, middle-aged guy with a low-energy vibe. He enjoys leisurely strolls through the yard, cozy couch naps, and most of all, he loves chilling in his crate while keeping a watchful eye on the house. McDaddy is a people lover, but he's not so keen on the little ones-they make him a bit nervous. However, when it comes to other dogs, he's a real team player, and those pesky cats? Well, he's too smart to bother with them. He's diligently working on his housetraining manners and wears a fancy belly band until he's mastered it all. But for a former drive-thru aficionado, he's adjusting beautifully to the cozy comforts of home life, complete with his very own spot and foster humans who adore him for exactly who he is! With a heart full of gratitude for his newfound safety, regular meals, and understanding and loving people, McDaddy is more than ready for his forever companion, whether it's a friend for your dog or a package deal with his lovely sister, McMuffin. So, if you're ready to add a dash of love and happiness to your life, don't leave McDaddy at the drive-thru! Swing by and let him be the perfect addition to your family. And don't forget to check out his stunning sister, McMuffin-she's head over paws for her foster home too! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX)

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet the incredible Izzy, although she's also known as Samantha, a true American Staffordshire Terrier mix with a heart as big as the open plains. Izzy's journey hasn't been the easiest, but her unwavering love and loyalty shine bright. With eyes that sparkle like stars, Izzy is the kind of companion that makes every car ride an adventure. She loves hopping in and taking her spot in the backseat, right between her favorite humans, ready to share the road with you. She's a cuddle enthusiast, known to flop down next to you just to feel close and get her fair share of affection. Izzy is well-behaved and knows the importance of a schedule, making potty breaks a breeze. She's kennel trained, but her curious nature and intelligence can sometimes turn her into a bit of an escape artist. She's full of love and a big fan of chew toys, treats, and special puppucinos to celebrate the good times. However, she does get nervous if left alone for too long, stemming from her early days when she waited by a ditch until kind humans came to her rescue. Izzy's heart overflows with love for her people, but she's still working on building trust with male figures due to her past experiences. She's not only great with other dogs, often rolling around in the grass, but she can also tolerate feline friends. However, her feelings towards other cats are unpredictable. And beware, she has a knack for letting everyone know when it's her turn for a potty break with her unique, loud cry. While she's an excellent leash walker, her excitement sometimes gets the best of her, leading her to try and take the lead. But with the right training and a bit more time, she's sure to overcome this small quirk. Izzy is a remarkable girl, full of love and a testament to the resilience of animals. If you're seeking a loyal and loving companion who's come a long way, Izzy is the one for you. She's more than just a dog; she's a treasured family member waiting for her forever home. Are you ready to welcome her into your heart and home?

We are a couple of pittie/lab girls, we are great with all people, dogs, cats and even tortoises!! We are bonded but can be separated if the right families come along. Honestly though, we are like the peanut butter and chocolate debate- TAKE THEM TOGETHER!!!! We are about 50# maybe, full grown...

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Greetings, I'm Rocket, but I'm eager to embrace a new name if you prefer one. I'm one sharp pup who's ready to adapt. My journey began when I was just a few days old, found on the side of the road with my entire litter. I was bottle-fed and given a fresh start. Though I was initially adopted with my sister, circumstances led me back to the rescue, and now I stand as the last of my litter, yearning for a forever home. In my foster haven, I've polished my house manners. I've mastered the art of crate and potty training and make splendid use of the doggy door. Toys are my jam, particularly plushies, but I must admit, distinguishing between mine and yours is a bit blurry. I might engage in a spot of 'suckling' before indulging in a lively play session, a quirk some might say is Freudian. I'm a real hoot, guaranteed to keep you amused. Now, when it comes to love, food takes the cake (or bone, rather). I'm an adventurous eater who enthusiastically devours everything from veggies like spinach and carrots to all manners of doggy delicacies. I know the commands for 'sit' and 'crate,' and I'm diligently working on 'lay down,' although that treat dangling above is pretty distracting. Exercise is also on my radar; I fancy our walks and wouldn't mind having them become a regular part of my routine. In my foster abode, I engage in playful antics with Mandy, my foster doggy sister, but I'm just as content to unwind. You'll be pleased to know I'm not a frequent barker, but when I do let out a bark, it's unmistakable - a deep AhROOO, with a houndy charm all its own. Could you be the one to make me a part of your forever story? I'm ready to be yours 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)

The name's Harley! I'm looking for a jokester of an owner to be my leader and muse for the rest of my life! I am a whimsical, loyal and fierce dog. NOT!!! I'm a big gush and attention-hog! Give me all your love and care please! I will do best in a home where I'm the only pet/animal owned by the family.

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

"Pip is a gentle soul. He's the perfect guy for someone who wants a large breed snuggle bug & a very well behaved puppy. He sleeps through the night & is fully crate trained. His fosters have him on a schedule, so he's very comfortable resting in his crate for 3-4 hours at a time during the day. He's fully house trained & knows a few simple commands (sit & down), and has started his leash training. He responds very well to verbal & food rewards (takes food gently). He gets along well with other dogs (large & small), cats & chickens - though humans are definitely his favorite! He would do well in most homes - especially with someone who is gentle & wants a snuggly dog. He's got a super soft brindle coat punctuated with a white chest & socks." ~ per his foster family.
