Story
Zeus is a dog that packs a punch in a good way, he’s energetic, playful and cuddly. Zeus was previously adopted from the humane society by my husband and I a few years ago. However, with a new baby welcomed into the family along with my husband being gone at the moment for work in the military, our home is no longer the best fit for Zeus. Zeus is a fur baby that requires lots of love and constant attention which I am no longer able to give him. Zeus has separation anxiety and needs someone who will be home with him more often than not. He loves to go to the dog park to play and is very friendly with other dogs but can be reactive on leash when on day to day walks. Zeus is a great dog with lots of love to give and whom is also very open to receiving love!

Story
Montana is a gorgeous, midsized Heeler mix who is the smartest pup this side of the Mississippi. She is ridiculously loyal to her people and gets the full body wiggles when you walk in that door. She is currently being fostered with several other dogs and is the welcoming committee. She is absolutely wonderful with all dogs. She is not alpha nor submissive, she is just fun and even the grumpiest of dogs end up playing with her. She would love an active home that offers regular walks, hikes or beach days. She is house trained and listens intently. She has gone through obedience training. She also loves to snuggle and chill on those rainy days.

Story
Meet Krudler! His name is a joke from the Simpsons, and this big goober is full of laughs. He aims to please and he loves to play - he can't get enough of the ball, frisbee, flirt pole, & tug rope. He'll also play solo, flinging soft toys and balls on his own in the yard. He loves to wrestle with known dog friends, and he's a quick learner when it comes to tricks and commands. After a long day he loves nothing more than to curl up in your lap and bathe you in kisses. Like many cattle dogs, Krud is very sensitive and easily overwhelmed in new environments. He struggles to focus on his handler outside of the home. He needs time & patience when meeting new human & canine friends, and he's polite with indoor cats. He would do best with an experienced working dog handler in a home with adults. He can be pushy with some dog friends and needs guidance to know when to relax. He has a strong drive to herd large moving objects. He has excellent house manners and is crate and muzzle trained. Apply to meet today!

Meet Tootsie Roll! This sweet chunky girl was rescued from a high kill shelter! Believed to be a cattle/heeler mix. She came to us severely over weight at 67 lbs but in 2 short weeks has already dropped 6 lbs. Her ideal and healthy weight would be around 50 lbs. Tootsie is around 7 years old and is a mellow girl. This sweetheart adores everyone—people, cats, dogs, and even birds. She loves the water and walks beautifully on a leash. While she isn't a glutton when it comes to food, she does have a tendency to beg for human snacks. She's housetrained, knows how to sit. So far, she's proving to be a wonderful companion loves to be her humans shadows. Could Tootsie be the bundle of joy you’ve been searching for?

Story
Honey was rescued from the euthanasia list at an open-intake shelter in Houston, Texas, where staff worked tirelessly to give her every possible chance. Just in time, Hope Rescue Ranch stepped in and saved her life. During her transition, Honey experienced a brief behavioral setback, largely due to not having adequate time and support to fully decompress after everything she had been through. Wanting to ensure she had every opportunity to succeed in her new chapter, Hope Rescue Ranch transported Honey to Lavender Run, where she can receive the training and guidance she needs to truly let her sweet, loving personality shine. We are so excited to help Honey continue her journey and can’t wait to find her the perfect forever home! Honey is professionally on and off leash trained. Her adoption fee will include 4 professional training sessions. Honey will do best in a child-free home and can do well with or without other dogs.
