Story
Meet Athena 💕🐾 Athena is an 18-month-old, 59-pound bundle of sweetness, energy, and adventure looking for her forever home. Athena’s Story Athena was found wandering alone in a shopping mall parking lot. A foster’s daughter began feeding her and sharing posts about her, hoping someone would step up to help. Sadly, nobody did — so Athena was given the chance she deserved, and she has been safe with her foster family since August 23, 2026. Now, she’s ready to find a family of her own. What She’s Like: Athena is sweet, smart, playful, and incredibly entertaining. She absolutely loves having fun and is happiest when she has people, dogs, toys, and adventures around her. She is an active girl who loves to play with other dogs. In fact, she loves them so much that we strongly recommend a home with another active, energetic dog or regular access to doggy daycare or playtime with canine friends. Athena also loves her toys and is a very smart girl who enjoys staying busy. She is very much a water dog and would love a family who enjoys exploring — especially oceans, lakes, and anywhere she can experience a new adventure. 🌊 She also loves riding in the car, making her an excellent potential companion for long drives, road trips, and exploring new places together. 🚗🐾 Athena’s Home Skills • 🏡 House-trained: Yes • 🐾 Crate-trained: Yes — she sleeps comfortably in a 42-inch crate • 🚗 Car-trained: Yes, and she loves riding in the car • 🐶 Dogs: Absolutely loves other dogs • 👧 Children: Yes, she loves kids • 🐱 Cats: Curious about cats and would need appropriate introductions and supervision • ⚡ Energy level: Active Her Ideal Home Athena would thrive with active owners who want a dog to be part of their adventures. A home with another energetic, playful dog would be ideal for her, or a family able to provide regular opportunities for her to socialize and play with other dogs. She would be a wonderful match for someone who enjoys being outdoors, taking road trips, exploring new places, playing with their dog, and making plenty of memories together. Athena has already had a difficult start, but you would never know it from the joyful, loving dog she is today. She is ready for someone to finally choose her — and give her the forever home she deserves. ❤️ Athena is ready for her next adventure. Could that adventure be with you? Athena is spayed, heart worm negative, current on age-appropriate vaccinations (bordatella, rabies and parvo distemper), current on flea/tick and heart worm prevention, microchipped, current on de-wormer and will receive a clean bill of health from a veterinarian prior to adoption.

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.

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
McIntosh is one happy little guy who is ready to find his forever family! At about 6 months old, this playful pup is full of fun, personality, and puppy wiggles. He loves playing with other dogs, kids, and especially chasing balls. He's the kind of puppy who is always ready to join in on the fun, but once he's worn himself out, he's happy to curl up beside you for some serious cuddle time. McIntosh is already crate trained, potty trained, and walks nicely on a leash, so he's got a great head start on becoming the perfect family companion. And when it comes to sleeping, McIntosh has his own unique style—he loves being half on and half off his bed! Sweet, playful, social, and affectionate, McIntosh is ready for a family who will keep his tail wagging and his heart full. Local adoption fee is $350(in TX)Out of state adoption fee is $650 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Hendrix is a 3-year-old male Australian Kelpie mix who weighs around 43 lbs. He is full of personality and a definite superstar! This boy is a survivor, and had a pretty ruff start! Facing euthanasia at a high-kill, rural Kentucky shelter, a local volunteer couldn’t let this sweet boy die. She pulled him to foster, and we began life-saving treatment for heart worms.  Fast forward to today, Hendrix is fully clear of heart worms, fully vetted, and doing fantastic in foster home. He is ready to find his fur-evers! He likes dogs, cats, kids! He loves to run and play, does great on leash, and potty trained! He would make a perfect addition to any family or single person looking for a loyal companion. Hendrix is neutered, fully vetted and microchipped.
