Story
Sweet dog who deserves a good home where she can be out in a yard to play. Unfortunately, my busy schedule does not allow her to do that while also in the process of moving. She needs to be in a home that can give her the proper time and attention. She is a rescue from Lubbock, TX which makes her a beautiful West Texas dog and she's tough like it! She loves pets and attention and will bring you so much joy with her clumsiness. She is a loving dog who deserves the opportunity to have the attention given to her as much as she will give to you! She is up to date on vaccines. She is registered at both the Flowery Branch and Gainesville animal clinics. She will come with her own crate, harness, and all the dog food that she has left.

Goose is a 1.5 year old Australian Shepherd and Border Collie mix. We received him from a friend who trains dogs. He knows the commands Sit, Stay, Wait, Down (lay down), Come, Off (get off furniture or people), and Go to Bed. He is crate trained, house broken, leash trained, and has been trained not to get on the couch or bed. He is a sweet friendly dog who loves activity and people. Goose needs a family with older children that can play and run around with him or a family that is very active and willing to take him along for the ride! He loves a great game of fetch and to go on runs or walks.

Story
Meet Grizelda, a stunning blend of Miniature Australian Shepherd and Catahoula Leopard Dog whose beauty is matched only by her devotion. A true family-oriented girl, Grizelda is the ultimate "welcome home" committee; the way she greets you will never get old, as she immediately wiggles onto her back with a huge smile to show you exactly how much she missed you. While she can be a little shy and timid at first—warming up to women a bit faster than men—it doesn’t take long for her sweet nature to shine through. She thrives on a routine of snacks (especially her favorites: apples and cantaloupe!), play, and heavy cuddle sessions. Grizelda is a "velcro dog" who loves to be near her people, often curling up by your feet or burrowing into her cherished blankets, which are a must-have for this girl who isn't a fan of the cold!

Story
Meet Hilda, a young pup who is the perfect blend of spunk and total sweetheart. She is a quiet, loyal companion who doesn't just want a home—she craves a best friend to shower with hugs. While she has plenty of speed for sprinting around the yard or hiking through the woods, she is incredibly well-mannered on the leash, preferring to walk directly behind your heels rather than pulling ahead. Hilda is a social butterfly who gets along famously with other dogs and likes every person she meets with time. Because she is so eager to please and thrives on companionship, she’s looking for a family where she won’t be left alone all day—whether that means a playful canine sibling to keep her company or a human who is home often. Whether she’s snooping for treats, learning new commands, or snuggling up in your bed at night, Hilda’s sweet nature and unwavering loyalty will make her the ultimate addition to a loving home.
