Story
We saw her on Facebook and she needed somewhere to sleep urgently. She was tied up outside in all weather. She had issues with food and water wich we worked on, she immediately bonded with my daughter, she loves to play with other animals, she will do anything to go play with another pup. Her only cons are that she has separation anxiety, and pulls on the leash, but with enough exercise shes not as bad on the leash, and will listen to commands while okay leash. She is very energetic and HAS to have a backyard to play in, she is the sweetest cuddly baby dog ever. I've never met such a sweet dog. She loves anyone and everyone! She loves to dress up and show off her outfits! Shes all around the perfect dog, as long as she can get her energy out! She has been a momma. Unfortunately we were never going to be able to keep her long term. We hoped it could work out that way but it hasnt and we just want whats best for her. I have lots of more information for anyone interested.

Story
Meet Kat! 🐶 She is the sister of Kit, who was adopted last month. She is our sweet Blue Heeler mix, with a heart full of sunshine and zoomies! Kat was born around September 20, 2025, and she’s everything you’d expect from a happy, well‑socialized puppy. She adores people, loves other animals, and approaches the world with pure enthusiasm. If it moves, she wants to play with it! As a young herding‑breed mix, Kat is bright, energetic, and eager to learn. She’ll thrive in a home that’s ready to invest time in training, structure, and basic obedience. Kat has plenty of puppy energy to burn, so a secure, fenced‑in yard where she can run, explore, and practice her zoomies is a must. With the right guidance and consistency, she’s going to grow into an incredible companion! Adoption fee: $450

Story
Looking for a ride along friend, snuggle bug, adventure pal, confidante and best friend? Maybelline might just be your girl! With a heart of gold, an eagerness to please, a smile so beautiful it’ll light up a room–Maybelline has been searching for the perfect home who appreciates what she’s got to offer! Maybelline is a 4 year old Australian shepherd/Australian cattle dog mix with a walk like a Corgi. She is 40lbs which we think is the perfect medium sized pup! Maybelline has lived outside her whole life, so she’s looking for a home that’ll be patient with her while she learns the ropes of indoor living. Right now, her foster mom says she’s acclimating so fast! Maybelline is a very happy go lucky girl. She loves to snuggle up on the couch and hold you hostage. She likes to eat ALL the food you have to offer her–even if it’s a bite of your burger, she doesn’t mind. She will hog the bed, act as a heating pad on the couch, follow you like a shadow, accompany you on any adventure that awaits and will do so without complaints. Maybelline is the picture of a loyal companion. She’s quirky, but who doesn’t love a quirky girl? Her smile comes off as more of a smirk and we giggle every time it comes out. Her eyes are SO expressive. Her whole body will wiggle with joy the second she sees you or hears your voice. She’s such a happy dog. Her nub tail goes a million miles a minute the higher your voice goes. Maybelline enjoys treats, especially if it’s lunch meat. Specifically, turkey. She’s a little on the picky side with dog food, but she’s just watching her figure! Because she’s snack motivated, training with her will be extra fun! She is great on leash and enjoys nature walks. She’s not a fast-paced girl but hikes could also be her thing! A trip down to the lake could also prove to be a blast! Maybelline is great in the kennel for just learning what one is. She’s a patient girl who waits her turn to come out. She’s also potty trained to perfection! If Maybelline seems like the beauty queen you’re searching for, apply now before she gets adopted! She has been spayed, microchipped by rescue and treated for heartworms - on prevention and up to date on vaccines. She has no special needs or medical needs. FOSTERED IN TEXAS. **Local Adoption to the Houston area is $300.00 *Adoption Fee ($550.00) includes transport options to PNW (WA, UT, ID), Midwest (MN, WI, MI, OH, IL, IN) or select New England States (NY-NJ-CT-VA-VT) by pet transport partners. Email to Apply! Adopt@CaffeinatedCanineRescueTx.org Adoption Application LINK: https://forms.gle/33ciYyXPTL18FfnV6 Email with Questions or for Adoption Application - Adopt@CaffeinatedCanineRescueTx.org --------------------------------------------------- See more Photos, Videos and Updates on Social Media Facebook.com/CaffeinatedCanineRescueTX Instagram @CaffeinatedCanineRescue --------------------------------------------------- History: Maybelline was brought to rescue from rural Mississippi where she had litters of puppies. She was heartworm positive, so it was necessary to bring her to Houston for a rescue to treat her and work on an adoption plan for her. She has cattle dog blood so herding and chasing chickens is possible, since arriving in the suburbs, she's only shown an interest in being a couch Queen. Foster Notes: Maybelline is a super friendly girl but would do best in a home that has only male dogs or where she will be the only dog! She doesn’t pair well with female dogs per rumors - she has been good with younger female dogs and easy-going females. Even though she sometimes doesn’t mix well with other mature dogs - this girl is still super deserving of the perfect home! Video: https://youtu.be/WFcJQHVijpo?si=Eggx0TomiljQqI8C

Story
Mac is the kind of dog who brings a sense of adventure into your life. He’s curious, smart, and independent—always exploring, always discovering, and always ready for whatever the day holds. Mac spends his days exploring the woods, checking out the ponds, and just enjoying being a dog. He loves water, loves movement, and has that natural confidence that makes life with him feel fun and engaging. He’s affectionate and friendly, but not needy—he’s happy to be part of your world while still doing his own thing. That balance makes him both enjoyable and easy to live with. He’s expected to grow into a larger dog and will thrive in a home that enjoys the outdoors or wants a companion for daily activity and exploration. Good fit: someone who wants a smart, adventurous dog to share life with—walks, hikes, exploring, and everyday experiences Adoption process: All adoptions are completed prior to transport. Dogs are picked up at designated transport locations. If an adoption doesn’t work out (rare, but life happens), we always take our dogs back. Location: Oklahoma (available to approved out-of-state adopters via transport) Health: Fully vetted (neutered/spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm tested) Adoption fee: $550 (includes transport + vetting) Bonus: Each adoption includes a 30-minute phone consultation with a professional trainer Transport routes: WA, OR, ID, MT, UT, WY, CO, MN, WI, IA, IL, IN, OH, PA, MD, NY, NJ, VT Think you might be a good fit?

Story
Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxQD-9Bt1kw John Connor has been with the rescue since last summer since he and his mom were dumped in the country. He is about 18 months old now and I don't understand why he hasn't been adopted. He is adorable, he only weighs about 40 lbs, he is great with other dogs, people, and cats. Perfect little dude. He loves to run and play and splish splash in the water. He would make a great companion for an active individual or a family that enjoys outdoor adventures or spending lots of time in the backyard. He is currently still in Oklahoma where he was rescued but he can only be adopted out of state where people treat animals well. He has to be prepaid and picked up directly from transport at one of our transport drop off locations below. If things don't work out for some reason, which rarely ever happens, we will either find a local foster to take him in or he will go back to Oklahoma on our next transport until a new home is found. Note: No dogs are advertised as potty-trained because most dogs need at least some re-training in a new environment and after being in a shelter/rescue environment/strays. www.facebook.com/desideratarescue (copy and paste into a new browser window) Transport locations: - Washington State (Kennewick, Spokane, Tumwater, Tacoma, Tukwila, Lynnwood/Edmonds, Bellingham) - Oregon (Portland and Springfield) - Colorado (Ft Lupton) - Idaho (Heyburn and Boise/Meridian) - Utah (Ogden) - Wyoming (Evanston, Rock Springs, Laramie) - Montana (Missoula) - Illinois (Vandalia, Springfield, Chicago) - Indiana (Spiceland, Burn Harbor) - Michigan (St Joseph, Battle Creek, Ann Arbor) - Wisconsin (Madison, Wausau, Eau Claire, Appleton, Milwaukee) - Minnesota (Minneapolis/St Paul) - Iowa (Des Moines) - Ohio (Columbus and London) - Pennsylvania (Erie, Pittsburgh and Harrisburg) - New York (Buffalo and Albany) - Connecticut (Enfield) - New Jersey (Bedminster) - Nevada (Las Vegas) - Arizona (Flagstaff) -- Vermont (Brattleboro) Vetting: neutered, microchipped, rabies vaccine, bordetella vaccine, dhpp vaccine x 3, lepto vaccine x 2, dewormed several times, on monthly flea and tick prevention, on monthly heartworm protection, heartworm tested (negative).
