Story

Bossy is a fun, energetic young pup who is very much still in her puppy phase but she is SO intelligent. She’s playful, active, and full of curiosity, always ready to explore the world around her. Bossy is very intelligent and already knows the command “go to home,” heading right to her crate when asked a great start for continued training. She has lived with both kids and adults and is comfortable being crated. Bossy would benefit from continued potty training and basic puppy manners, but she’s eager to learn and would do well with someone ready to guide a smart, active pup. If you’re looking for a bright, energetic puppy to grow with, Bossy might be the perfect match!

Story

If you’re looking for a built-in best buddy who’s always up for fun, exploration, and a little silliness, I might just be your guy. I’m mostly white with a splash of ginger on my ears, and full of that joyful puppy sparkle. I was born this past July and I’m an Aussie mix like my mom. Dad is a bit of a mystery, but I like to think that just adds to my charm. I’ve got soft fur, bright dark eyes, and a happy-go-lucky outlook on life. I love being on the move, checking out new places, and meeting new friends. I’m great with kids and other dogs, and I’m very well adjusted. I’m already crate trained and housetrained too, which means I’m off to a great start as a family companion. My ideal family would be active, enjoy getting out and doing things, and have a backyard where I can stretch my legs, play, and burn off some of my energy. At the end of the day, I’m also sweet and cuddly and happy to soak up love from my people. I’m looking for a person or family who wants a true companion and plans to make me part of their whole life, for my whole life. If you’re ready for laughter, adventure, and a loyal sidekick who thinks you’re the best thing ever, I’d love to meet you. Meet the Adoption Criteria.

Story

Seven months old, about 50 pounds, and already a professional at stealing hearts. Betsy has a sweet, loving disposition and a gentle soul. She enjoys soaking in the good stuff once she feels comfortable, but like many young dogs, she can be a little nervous in new situations. With a bit of patience and reassurance, her confidence blooms and her affectionate personality really shines. Betsy is looking for a forever home that will give her time to settle in, show her the world at her pace, and celebrate all her small wins. In return, she offers devotion, soft eyes, and a whole lot of love. If you’re looking for a young dog who will bond deeply and thrive with kind guidance, Betsy might be your perfect match.

Story

Meet Rudy 7 month old, 32 pound, pocket sized cattle dog & professional cuddle enthusiast. Amateur cattle dog herder. Full-time heart throb! Rudy was found all on his own in a rural area outside Kaufman, not far from where many of our rescue stories begin. He’s about 6 months old, 32 pounds, and is made up of equal parts love, joy, zoomies, and side-eye. Loves other dogs Loves cuddling Loves hanging out and being included Thinks small children might need herding Believes cats are… suspicious Because Rudy is an energetic, enthusiastic cattle dog, he’d do best in a home without young kids or cats, but with humans who appreciate a smart, playful pup who keeps life interesting!
