Story
Georgey (or in Spanish, Gorge) is an 11-month-old pup that weighs approximately 32 lbs. While we do not know who his parents are, we believe he is Australian kelpie mixed with lab or catahoula. Either way, he is definitely adorable and very petite. We do think he is full grown as he has not grown since we got him. He has been in foster care since March 2025 - He was born on a ranch in south Texas, where a stray dog had puppies at. Only Gorge and his brother, Johnny, were surrendered though. We don’t know what happened to the other puppies or the parents. This awesome boy absolutely loves other dogs; big and small. He is currently being fostered in a sanctuary in south Texas, along the Texas/Mexico border. This amazing sanctuary is only a short term stop for this fur-baby until their forever home is found. Gorge is a goofy boy – he is always willing to try something first and would be considered the “class clown” of the group. He is a pleaser and loves being accepted by the other dogs. He is more submissive than most. Gorge loves his toys and playing around the yard. There is nothing he does not like doing. He is all around a very relaxed and easy going boy that would fit almost all types of households. He loves being around his people and will follow you around, trying to please you too. Gorge gets a little jealous when other dogs are out playing and he is in kennel. He will make very sad whimpering sounds in hopes to get let out, and usually it works! Gorge loves his toys so much that he decides it’s much better to have 20 pieces of one toy than just one toy! Tough toys are definitely a must for young Gorgey. He has met kitties and he has no issues with them! He would live very happy with other dogs and kitties in the home. Gorge is so friendly that he loves kids, strangers and really, any human! Gorge would love a home that has another dog or dogs, where he can play, have a kiddo pool full of water to lay in and go on walks around the neighborhood to explore and see new things. He would be truly great for most types of households. This animal is fixed (spayed/neutered), heart worm positive (they have received the 30-day course of antibiotics and need to stay on heart worm prevention for 12-16 months and be retested then), current on age-appropriate vaccinations, current on flea/tick and heart worm prevention, microchipped, current on de-wormer, and will receive a clean bill of health from a licensed veterinarian prior to transport.

Story
Our old, perfect, classy lady Daisy. Daisy is a 7-year-old mix who weighs approximately 40 lbs and is the sweetest girl. You wouldn’t know she was 7 years old, as she is a puppy by heart. With Daisy you get a cuddling, loving older dog demeanor with the playfulness and happiness of a puppy. And almost no training necessary! Daisy is house and crate trained. Daisy gets along great with other dogs and would do wonderful in a home with another dog to keep her company. She absolutely loves people and is the first one to greet anyone that is coming through the door or gate. Daisy was found roaming the streets of south Texas by Mexico; She was super skinny and you could just see the defeated look in her face. Thankfully, a good Samaritan saw her and couldn’t just turn away from her. She has been in the care of a sanctuary for 6 months now. She is a very relaxed dog. She just wants to lay out in the sun, play a little bit, relax and just hang out. Daisy would do great in a home that is a bit more relaxed and wants a dog that is very casual but VERY loving. She does great on car rides! Her favorite thing to eat are hot dogs. The foster says one of her favorite things about Daisy is that she doesn’t destroy toys, so all toys survive around Daisy, SO FAR. She doesn’t really know commands, but she loves to follow you around,and just wants to find her perfect humans. Please consider giving old lady Daisy a chance at her forever home. Daisy is fixed (spayed/neutered), heart worm positive (they have received the 30-day course of antibiotics and need to stay on heart worm prevention for 12-16 months and be retested then), current on age-appropriate vaccinations, current on flea/tick and heart worm prevention, microchipped, current on de-wormer, and will receive a clean bill of health from a licensed veterinarian prior to transport.

                                                                             KENNEL ID #18804Meet Molly, Molly is a beautiful, energetic young girl weighing approximately 40 pounds and is likely an Australian Kelpie mix (best guess). She is around 1 year old and full of potential. Molly was found abandoned at a church, where a kind neighbor stepped in to give her a flea bath and make sure she was fed. When she came into rescue, she was in heat and was spayed right away. She does great with structure and routine. Molly sleeps inside a kennel overnight with no accidents, uses a dog door confidently, and is kenneled next to another dog. While they may bark at each other at times, there is no aggression. Because of her youthful energy and Australian Kelpie breed traits. This breed is known for being absolutely a brilliant, high-energy dogs were bred for herding in the rugged Australian outback - and it shows!* Kelpie Highlights: Super Smart - Quick learners and love a challenge. High Energy - Always ready to go, go, go! Great for an active family. Molly would do best in a home with older children. She walks nicely on leash and actually seems calmer when leashed. She already knows how to sit on command, is very smart, and is highly trainable—she’s going to thrive with continued guidance and enrichment. Molly is ready for a committed home that will help her channel her energy and continue her training so she can be the amazing dog she’s meant to be. ❤️ Molly is hanging out with her foster mom, Carol, in Tennessee. If you have any questions, please email her at  abandonedangelsinc@gmail.com .  Thank you for your interest in rescue. If you would like to be considered for adoption, please submit an application to adopt.

Story
🐾 Meet Our Pointy-Eared Puppy Crew! 🐾 Six beautiful 7-month-old puppies are looking for their forever homes! ❤️ This adorable litter of six — five girls and one boy — was born around mid-February 2026. They are all approximately 35 lbs and we believe they will grow to around 50 lbs full grown. 💕 Meet the Pack Girls: • Alexis • Sissy • Cookie • Bella • Kenzie Boy: • Mac Their mom is a purebred German Shepherd, and their dad is unknown but is believed to be a Husky/Lab mix. And let's talk about those EARS! 👂😂 Every single puppy has super pointy ears — guaranteed to get better signal and service than some cell phone companies! 🐶 How They Came to Be Their beautiful mom was found pregnant while roaming the streets of South Texas. Thankfully, a wonderful Good Samaritan took her in, and she was able to safely have these gorgeous babies in a loving environment. Now these puppies are ready for families of their own! ❤️ Personality Plus! These pups are friendly, affectionate, curious, loyal, and incredibly loving. They absolutely adore people and love being part of the action. Their favorite activities include: • 🧸 Playing with toys and stuffed animals • 🐕 Chasing and wrestling with their puppy siblings • 💦 Playing in the water • 🙈 Playing hide-and-seek with each other • ❤️ Getting lots of pets • 🐾 Exploring and being curious • 🛋️ Getting belly rubs — their absolute favorite! They are active puppies with energy that keeps on going! They love to run, play, explore, and have fun. Mac and Alexis are the calmer two, while the others tend to be a little more energetic. But make no mistake — they're all still very much puppies! 🐕 They LOVE Other Dogs! All six pups get along wonderfully with other dogs and would absolutely love a home with a friendly canine sibling to play with. If you don't currently have another dog, we strongly recommend regular doggy daycare, playdates, or other opportunities for safe socialization and play. These babies thrive when they have plenty of exercise and companionship. 👧👦 Great Family Dogs These puppies are loving and social and we believe they would do wonderfully with children, provided everyone is taught appropriate and respectful interactions. They are loyal little souls who want nothing more than to be loved, included, and part of a family. 🎓 Ready to Learn! They haven't had much formal training yet, but don't let that fool you — these puppies are very smart! With patience, consistency, positive reinforcement, plenty of exercise, and an amazing family, these babies have so much potential and will flourish in their new forever homes. They're curious. They're playful. They're loving. They're loyal. They're goofy. And those ears? Absolutely priceless. 😂❤️ These six sweet babies have so much love to give. Now all they need are families who are ready to give them the forever homes they deserve.

Story
Meet Buddy! 🐾❤️ Buddy is a 2-year-old, 47-pound Shepherd/Canaan/Kelpie mix who has spent his entire life waiting for someone to finally call him theirs Buddy has been at a sanctuary in South Texas, along the Texas/Mexico border, since he was a tiny puppy. He arrived at just 8 weeks old with his siblings, Cowboy, Roxy, and Oso. And sadly, the reason Buddy is still waiting isn't because there is anything wrong with him. It's because the humans who promised to help him failed him. About 22 months ago, a rescue asked the sanctuary to take Buddy and his three siblings into care, promising to financially support them and take them on the next transport. Then the rescue delayed. And delayed. And delayed. They never provided a dime toward their care before ultimately disappearing completely when the puppies were about five months old. Then another rescue stepped in and tagged Buddy and his siblings. Everyone thought their luck had finally changed. But just six weeks later, that rescue ghosted them too. The sanctuary begged for help. Nobody stepped up. And through absolutely no fault of their own, Buddy and his siblings grew up in a sanctuary instead of growing up in forever homes. Buddy could have been home with his family almost two years ago. Two rescues took that opportunity away from him. Now, we're stepping in to help make sure Buddy and his siblings finally get the futures they deserve. And Buddy is ready. ❤️ Meet Buddy 🐻 Buddy is a laid-back, incredibly sweet, food-motivated boy who loves his people and enjoys the simple things in life. He's calm and relaxed most of the time, especially when he's hanging out with his favorite humans. But let him out into a yard and you'll see another side of Buddy—he'll run, explore, and break out into the most adorable zoomies! 😂 He loves exploring, loves treats, and loves being around people. And Buddy is convinced that he is a lap dog. Unfortunately for Buddy, nobody has explained that he's 47 pounds. 😂 If you're sitting on the couch or down on the floor, Buddy may decide your lap looks like the perfect place for him to curl up. He doesn't care about his size—he just knows he wants to be close to his person. He's a very loyal boy who simply wants to be part of a family. 🐕 Dog Friendly Buddy loves other dogs! He would happily have a canine sibling and would love having another dog to play and hang out with. He'd also love having his own toy chest—or one he can share with his new doggy best friend. 🧸🐾 👧 Good with Children Buddy would do well with well-behaved children who know how to respectfully interact with dogs. 🐱 Cats Because of Buddy's calm and gentle demeanor, his foster believes he may do well with cats. We are happy to cat-test Buddy if a potential adopter needs that information before making a decision. 🏡 House Manners Buddy is crate-trained, mostly house-trained, and leash-trained, giving him a great foundation for transitioning into family life. With patience and consistency, he should continue to thrive as he learns what it's like to finally have a home of his own. 🚗 Adventure Buddy Buddy may be laid-back, but don't mistake that for boring! He loves car rides and would make an excellent road-trip companion. Long drives, new places, outdoor adventures—Buddy is ready to see the world! And here's something you don't hear every day: Buddy apparently loves scooter rides! 🛵🐾 How many dogs can say that? He's also a wonderful walking companion and would enjoy a family who wants to get outside and explore with him. 😂 Buddy's Very Important Water Bowl Rule Buddy has one very particular opinion about his food bowl. He likes to tip it over when it has no food in it. Why? We honestly have no idea. 😂 Maybe he's telling you it's empty. Maybe he's making sure you know he's ready for a refill. Or maybe Buddy simply believes that, as the king of the household, his food should be delivered to him on a silver platter. 👑 Whatever the reason, Buddy has standards. And those standards apparently include a full food bowl at all times! ❤️ Buddy's Perfect Home Buddy would love a family who can give him: • A big yard to explore • Regular walks and plenty of exercise • Opportunities to run and get his zoomies out • Car rides and adventures • A comfortable, air-conditioned place to relax • Plenty of cuddles • A cool, comfortable environment • Time to sunbathe and enjoy the outdoors • A canine companion to share his life with, if possible • And lots and lots of love Buddy would be perfectly happy spending the morning exploring the yard, going for a long walk, or heading off on an adventure—and then spending the afternoon stretched out somewhere cool and comfortable beside his favorite person. He's the perfect combination of calm cuddle bug and playful goofball. 🐾 Two Years Is Long Enough Buddy has spent his entire life waiting. He never got the chance to know what it feels like to wake up in his own home. He never got to have a family who chose him. He never got to know that feeling of being someone's beloved dog. But Buddy hasn't given up. He's still sweet. He's still loving. He's still loyal. And he's still waiting for someone to finally see him. Buddy deserved his forever home two years ago. Now, we're determined to help him find it. If you're looking for a sweet, loyal, laid-back companion who loves dogs, car rides, walks, treats, exploring, cuddling, and occasionally sitting in his own water bowl, Buddy might just be your guy. ❤️ He's ready for a big yard, a soft place to land, a family to love, and a lifetime of adventures. Buddy has waited long enough. It's time for this boy to finally go home. 🐾❤️ PLEASE READ ALL INFORMATION BELOW IF INTERESTED IN ADOPTING: The next step to adopt is to fill out an application on our website at: www.pawsitive-Impact-animal-rescue.org This doggy is spayed/neutered, heart worm positive, current on age-appropriate vaccinations, current on flea/tick and heart worm prevention, microchipped, current on de-wormer, and will receive a clean bill of health from a licensed veterinarian prior to transport. Buddy is heart worm positive but has completed a 2-injection fast kill heartworm treatment.

Tessie is a one-year-old Blue Heeler with a big heart packed into a petite 20-lb body. Like many Heelers, she forms a deep bond with her person and loves being close — she’s the ultimate little “Velcro dog.” Her favorite things include outdoor adventures, chew toys, exploring the yard, and then settling in for a cozy couch nap with her favorite human. Tessie is incredibly smart and will quickly learn a new routine, but she’ll do best with a patient adopter who will give her a little time and space to settle into her new home. Once she trusts you, her loyalty is unmatched. She also takes her job as yard supervisor very seriously and has the cutest little sassy strut when she’s feeling happy. While she prefers being out and about with her people, she can stay in a crate when needed. Tessie would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a devoted, intelligent dog who will be by their side through life’s adventures. ❤️ If you think Tessie might be the perfect match for you, please apply at straynetwork.org #adoptdontshop
