Janis Joplin (also known as “Janis” or “JJ") is a classy, loyal, and sweet lady with a rock star name and perfect eyeliner–who is ready for love and to be loved. Janis may come off a little shy at first. With a little time, you will find a loyal, loving, best friend for life. Janis will be your shadow–always nearby with a wagging tail, beautiful smile, and heart full of love. She is a true love and snuggle bug. What Janis loves/enjoys: being by your side. She’s the perfect companion in the car, kitchen, yard, on the couch and bed, by the pool… (If you wish, Janis will follow you into the bathroom or when it’s time to take out the trash, too.) Janis enjoys slow strolls where she can sniff and explore. She loves naps and daydreaming–especially when you are near. What Janis knows: her skills, such as sit, drop, down, place… and she is always up for learning more. Janis is potty-trained. She is smart and tunes into her environment well. Janis Joplin’s background: She was adopted as an APA! puppy and spent six years in a home until life changed for her person. Janis has lived with cats before. She’s non-reactive to dogs, and could do well with the right dog buddy in a calm home. Janis Joplin is calm, patient, alert, and affectionate. She would thrive in a loving home where she is doted on and feels understood. If you are looking for a loyal companion who will love you wholeheartedly, please inquire about Janis Joplin (A-65653).

Meet Ozzy — your future best friend with a heart as big as his beautiful blue coat! Ozzy is an incredibly handsome blue American Bully who turns heads wherever he goes, but it’s his sweet, affectionate nature that truly makes him shine. This lovable boy is all about the snuggles and will happily curl up next to you for some serious cuddle time. He’s the kind of dog who just wants to be close to his people and soak up all the love he can get.

He absolutely lives for car rides—he loads up like a dream and settles in quickly, making him an ideal road trip companion. Whether it’s a drive to the park or a cross-country adventure, Ozzy is ready to ride shotgun with his favorite humans. Ozzy also has a playful, goofy side—he loves water and can’t get enough of playing in the hose! If you’ve got a yard and a sprinkler or hose, you’ve already won his heart. Watching him splash around is pure joy. While Ozzy is a sweetheart through and through, he’s still working on his leash manners. He gets excited when he sees something interesting and tends to pull, so some basic leash training will help him thrive. Ozzy is available for adoption in Texas, but he can also be transported to the Northeast or Pacific Northwest for the right home. Don’t miss out on this water-loving adventure buddy!

Story
Available in TX only! Granger, a 54-pound young adult rescue dog, embodies a unique blend of traits that make him an endearing companion. Initially cautious around strangers, he blossoms into a loyal and affectionate friend once he establishes trust. His wide-set, beautiful eyes are a distinctive feature, complemented by charmingly bow-legged stature reminiscent of a bulldog. Granger thrives in the company of other dogs, eagerly seeking opportunities to snuggle and play with his furry pals. His social nature extends to adoring kids, showcasing gentle and amiable behavior around them. A testament to his adaptability, Granger is both kennel and potty trained, demonstrating discipline and understanding of boundaries. While initially uneasy with car rides, he is gradually becoming more comfortable, displaying resilience and openness to new experiences. Granger came into rescue with frequent upper respiratory infections. Extensive medical testing was done and it was discovered that he has a fungus that infiltrated his lungs and cervical spine. He underwent a vaccine regimen to stop the progression of the fungus. He will require that vaccine annually. Despite his medical condition, he continues to thrive and love life! His gradual acclimatization to car rides mirrors his overall willingness to embrace change and learn. Granger's journey from a hesitant newcomer to a beloved companion reflects his resilient spirit and willingness to form deep connections. In essence, Granger is an amiable, adaptable, and affectionate dog whose gradual warmth towards strangers underscores his loyalty and trustworthiness once he embraces friendship. His love for canine and human companionship, along with his charming features and gentle demeanor, make him a cherished addition to any loving home.

2/28/2024 updated 4/6/2025 Ross aka Tucker is an owner surrender looking for a new home. Hi! My name is Ross aka Tucker! I am a handsome 9-year-old brindle boy that is an owner surrender due to not being dog friendly and for everyone’s safety, it is best that I am the only dog in the home. My current home is next to a creek/golf club that is unfenced, and I do not get along with any animals that come into my yard. I am described as friendly, active, smart, playful, affectionate, and obedient! Like a typical boxer, I love kids! There are no kids in my current home but there are a lot of neighbor kids that I interact with and they love me! I am house trained and have had crate training in the past, but I am able to be trusted to freely roam the house when the humans are away. I initially bark when they leave the home but settle in once they are gone. Like a true king, at night I sleep on a stacked throne of 3 dog beds in the human’s bedroom. When outside, I have good behavior and do not dig or attempt to jump fences/gates. Some of my favorite things are riding in the car, Kong toys, bones, being brushed, and catching frisbees! My current family wants nothing more than for me to have a safe and active home for me to play and be loved! If you think I would be a good addition to your family, contact the rescue today and give them my name because I am waiting to meet you! ##1983782##

Story
6/25/2025 Diesel VII is an owner surrender looking for a new home. Hi! My name is Diesel VII ! I am a handsome 9 year old flashy brindle boy that is an owner surrender due to people moving into my home and my owner unable to financially care for me. I am described as smart, calm, protective, playful, affectionate, and obedient! I like to be the protector when at home but do well with strangers when being boarded or being watched by friends! I prefer people to ask my owner to touch me because I do not like strangers coming up to touch me without notice. I do not like to be poked at or bothered, so it would be best if I am in a home with no kids so I can relax. It is said that I am dog friendly and have had exposure to a shitzu, lab, and rottweiler with no issues. I have only seen cats from a distance and show signs of wanting to chase them so a cat free home would be best! I am house trained, crate trained, know basic commands, and at night I sleep in my crate in the living room but have slept on a dog bed before. If the humans must be away, I don't like to be alone but remain calm in my crate and wait for the humans to come back. When outside I do not attempt to jump fences/gates but I am curious what is under the grass and will dig to find out. I am scared of fireworks and do not like vacuums or being brushed with deshedding brushes. Some of my favorite things are playing tug of war, playing fetch, chewing bones, laying near the humans, and rough house play when the human initiates it! My current owner says I am a "sweet dog once you get to know me" and "once I realize you're taking care of me, I will show you love, loyalty, and protection"! If you think I would make a great addition to your family, contact the rescue today and give them my name because I am waiting to meet you! ##2437095##
