Story
Meet Delilah! Delilah is a beautiful Australian Shepherd with a gentle heart who is looking for a patient, understanding family to call her own. New people and situations can make her nervous, and she needs time to feel safe and build trust. Because of this, Delilah is hoping to find a home that will allow her to settle in at her own pace and let her confidence grow naturally. At this time, we don't know how Delilah does with other animals. She would likely do best in a home with older children or teens who can respect her boundaries and understand that she may need some extra time and space as she adjusts. While Delilah may be shy at first, we have no doubt that with patience, kindness, and consistency, she will blossom into a loyal and loving companion. Watching a dog like Delilah learn to trust and come out of her shell is incredibly rewarding, and the family who gives her that chance will gain a devoted friend for life. Apply at ghhs.org

Story
From a Storm Drain to a Second Chance... Meet Whiskey - The Smiling Survivor. Some puppies never get the chance to know what it feels like to be safe, loved, or wanted. This precious little boy was found alone in a storm drain—tiny, terrified, desperately sick, and covered in fleas. His little body was so weak that we honestly weren't sure he would survive. But this brave puppy had other plans. He fought! Day by day, he grew stronger. His sad eyes began to sparkle, his tiny tail started to wag, and the playful puppy he was always meant to be finally emerged. Now Whiskey is 3 months old and weighs 9 pounds. He's absolutely everything a puppy should be—goofy, joyful, curious, and full of life. He loves everyone he meets and is wonderful with dogs, cats, and children. His favorite things are playing, exploring, giving kisses, and soaking up every bit of love he can find. After everything he's overcome, this sweet boy isn't looking for perfection. Whisky is simply looking for someone who will never let him feel abandoned again. He survived the storm drain. He survived being so sick that we feared the worst. Now all he needs is a family to call his own. Could you be the happy ending this little fighter has been waiting for? Adopt this sweet survivor, and watch him fill your home with laughter, love, and gratitude every single day.

Story
Meet Lucy! If you're looking for a fun, active companion to keep up with all of life's adventures, Lucy is your girl! This beautiful Australian Shepherd is everything you would expect from the breed—smart, energetic, and always ready for the next game of fetch. Toss a ball, and you'll instantly become her favorite person! She could happily spend hours chasing tennis balls and showing off her athletic skills. Lucy is wonderful with other dogs and does great with kids, making her a fantastic addition to an active family. She's already crate trained and housebroken, so she's off to a great start in her new home. Like many Aussies, Lucy thrives when she has both physical exercise and mental stimulation. She is still learning how to walk politely on a leash and will need a family willing to continue her training. With consistency, patience, and plenty of positive reinforcement, this intelligent girl will catch on quickly. Lucy is ready for a family that understands the needs of her breed and is excited to include her in hikes, games, adventures, and lots of playtime. If you're searching for a loyal best friend with endless enthusiasm and a heart full of love, Lucy can't wait to meet you! Local adoption fee is $400(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $650 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Poor Bandit came from an evicted house. The owners moved and left Bandit, a 6-year-old lab mix and 11 cats and kittens. They were left with no food and water, and after 4 days, the next-door neighbor heard one of them bark. We rescued all the animals. Bandit is a sweet baby that did not deserve to be abandoned. He needs a soft place to lay his head in his older years and a loving home.

Story
This handsome fellow and his siblings came in to rescue last winter after they were dumped on a back country road. Their mother was found deceased, so we took the puppies in to try to save them. They were very sick initially but are very healthy now. Big boy is a gentle boy but does love to run and play with other dogs. Big boy was the largest of the puppies, but his siblings have caught up to him. He has done amazing with his house and crate training. He is so deserving of a wonderful home to call his own. He is fostered in East TN, but transportation is included in the adoption fee and provided by Rescue Riders LLC. Please let me know if you have any questions. Please email us for the link to the adoption application (His adoption fee is only to cover transport and health certificate to travel to another state.)

Story
Meet Elena Ann! Don't let her deafness fool you—Elena is a bright, beautiful Australian Shepherd with a zest for life! This happy, high-energy girl is everything you love about the breed: intelligent, playful, athletic, and always ready for her next adventure. Elena absolutely loves to play fetch, especially with frisbees, though she'll happily chase a ball now and then too. She's wonderful with other dogs, great with kids, and is both crate trained and housebroken. Because Elena is deaf, she's looking for a home that understands her unique needs. She must have another confident dog in the home to help provide routine and companionship. Having a canine buddy helps her navigate daily life and gives her confidence. She's also learned an impressive nighttime recall—simply blink a flashlight, and she'll happily come running inside! Elena is still learning how to walk on a leash and will need a family committed to continuing her training using positive reinforcement and visual cues. Like any Aussie, she'll thrive with plenty of exercise, mental enrichment, and a job to do. If you're looking for an incredibly smart, loving, and active companion who just experiences the world a little differently, Elena is ready to prove that being deaf doesn't slow her down one bit. She's waiting for the perfect family to give her the forever home she deserves. Local adoption fee is $300(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)
