Story
Meet Belle! A sweet and soulful almost two-year-old Kelpie mix currently in Converse, TX, whose tricolor coat is just as vibrant as her heart is gentle. Belle is the kind of pup who melts into your side for a cuddle, flashes a warm-eyed smile at every passerby, and politely sits for treats with the elegance of a pup who’s clearly aced her obedience classes. Belle has completed multiple levels of training and knows commands like sit, stay, down, up, go, and kennel. She’s crate trained, house-trained, microchipped, and in tip-top health with all her vaccinations up to date. At about 30 pounds, she’s a perfectly portable medium-sized companion who enjoys car rides (she even comes with her own doggy seat belt!) and adores daily walks, chew toys, and cozying up with her people at the end of the day. While Belle is incredibly curious and gentle around cats, her current feline roommate isn’t quite as open to friendship. Because of that, she’s looking for a new loving home where peace and harmony can flourish, ideally one with a fenced yard and maybe even another dog to pal around with. Belle is especially happy in the company of other dogs and shines at the dog park, where her social butterfly side gets to come out and play! Her temperament makes her a great match for families with young children (ages three and up), other friendly dogs, and caregivers who value companionship and affection. She’s never shown aggression, handles being alone just fine for short periods, and keeps a calm, even-keeled presence that makes her a joy to share space with. To help ease her into her next chapter, her current guardian is sending her off with her full setup: a collapsible kennel, bed, toys, treats, leash and harness, fresh pet food, and even her travel gear. Are you ready to open your heart and home to a sweet, loyal girl who just wants to love and be loved? Belle might be the perfect new friend you didn’t know you were missing.

Story
This adorable tail-wagging pup is Olivia, listed as an Australian Kelpie that was brought to the Mesquite Animal Shelter as a stray on 10/4. My dog scanner suggests possibly Welsh Corgi, Cardigan and Rat Terrier in the mix. Olivia weighs 32 lbs and is about 7 mos old. Those soulful eyes and oversized ears give her such an adorable appearance! She knows a sit command and will do so for treats which she takes quite politely! She walks nicely on a leash. Olivia was so thrilled to get out of her kennel and romp around in the yard. As with a number of our dogs, she does jump on you. This is not abnormal and is a behavior that can be corrected. Naturally she has a lot of puppy energy and needs daily exercise and playtime. There is really so much to like about this mild-mannered girl and she would make someone a wonderful companion. She wants and deserves an inside life, bonding with her peeps and being an important part of the family.

These pups are in Richardson, Texas too!

Hi, Ross here! If you are looking for a best buddy who likes to be on the go and have fun, I’m your guy. I was born this past July and am an Aussie Mix, like my Mom, although we are not sure about my Dad’s breed. I'm sweet and cuddly, with soft white fur, and sparkly dark eyes.   I'm great with kids, cats, other dogs. I like going new places and meeting new friends.  I'm very well adjusted!  I'm crate trained and mostly housetrained. I would love a person or family who will make me a part of their whole live, for my whole life. I’m available on a Foster-to-Adopt basis. Approved fosters will: Keep the puppy safe and well taken care of (all pets in the home must be up to date on shots and heartworm prevention) Children in the home must be over five years old. Provide adequate socialization, structure and predictable routines.  Provide positive reinforcement training only; no prong, shock, or choke chains will be provided or tolerated. RHS will provide training resources for you as well as offer a rescue rate with our trainer should you want home or classroom training Take the puppy to all vet appointments at our vet (at RHS expense) Pay $50 deposit upon placement, to be applied to the final adoption fee Adopt the puppy once all medical care is complete, including spay or neuter at least 6 months of age.

Story
This smart, beautiful girl has a wonderful spirit and gentle soul.  We just love her to bits.   She's a pretty savvy chick.  She figured out the doggie door pretty quick and takes herself out to go potty or a respite from the hustle and bustle of a busy doggy filled houshold. She's sensitive and sweet and can read a room in 10 seconds flat.  Good vibe, bad vibe?  She knows.  She loves hanging out with the resident dogs and patrolling the backyard for squirrels. Glory has also discovered the toy basket and loves to empty it and even take toys out the doggie door.  She enjoys walks with her foster mom and her "pack", exploring new neighborhoods and fields. Oh - and she's been a momma - raised to kiddos, Ross and Betsy.  Also available for adoption.  She was a good mom, and is a most excellent dog.   You'd be lucky if she was your dog.   ##2466424##

Story
Meet Skye – Your Smart, Sweet, Adventure Buddy Say hello to Skye, a 2½-year-old Australian Shepherd/Beagle mix who’s as clever as she is loving! This beautiful girl is quick to learn—she figured out the doggie door at her foster home in just 20 minutes! Skye is both house and crate trained. Now that she’s settling into a more relaxed home life, she’s learning how wonderful it feels to nap out in the open, surrounded by comfort and love. She’s sweet, smart, and great with other dogs. Skye would thrive with a family who wants to include her in their everyday adventures—riding along to soccer practice, joining weekend outings, and being part of the fun. Even better if someone in the family enjoys running—Skye would love to be your jogging partner! If you’re looking for a loyal, active companion who’s ready to be a true member of the family, Skye is eager to meet you and share all the love she has to give. ##2566332##
