Story
Introducing Zeke, a truly remarkable pup whose heartwarming spirit and playful energy are ready to light up a new home. Zeke is a handsome, resilient boy who, through no fault of his own, found himself searching for a new home. He's more than ready to embark on his next chapter, seeking a loving, forever family to call his own. Zeke is a bundle of joyful energy, known for his silliness and ability to bring a smile to anyone's face. While he may start off shy, it doesn't take long for his true personality to shine through. He quickly becomes an enthusiastic playmate who thrives on the company of other dogs and will gleefully encourage them to play. Zeke is a smart and well-mannered companion. He is potty-trained and comfortable in his crate. He also knows basic commands like "sit" and "go to your room," and his eagerness to please makes him a joy to train further. While he’s working on managing his excitement (which sometimes results in enthusiastic leaps!), his good intentions are always clear. Walks are a highlight of his day, offering him a chance to explore and burn off some of that youthful energy. His barks will let you know precisely when he needs to go outside or when he hears you approaching the door. If you’re seeking an active, affectionate, and charming dog who promises boundless love and entertainment, Zeke could be the perfect addition to your home. Local adoption fee is $200(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Noah is a smart, high-energy puppy who thrives on activity, structure, and plenty of fun. He loves playing with other dogs, doing zoomies around the yard, and chasing leaves as they blow by. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs and would do best with older kids since he still occasionally jumps when he gets excited—but he’s learning! Noah is crate trained and housebroken once he learns the routine of his home. He walks well on a leash and already knows sit and down. His foster family is currently working on stay, and he’s proving to be a quick learner. Because of his energy level, Noah needs an active family that willing to continue teaching him manners and training. His mama was an Australian Shepherd, and based on how the whole litter looks, his foster believes dad was a Boxer—giving him the perfect mix of smarts, athleticism, and playfulness. Noah is ready to find a family who can keep up with his zest for life and help him grow into the amazing dog he’s meant to be! Local adoption fee is $250(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

I'm Zuri and I'm just as sweet as I am pretty! My mom was an Aussie mix, and I'm likely to stay small/medium sized. My paws are tiny. I'm not sure how my ears are going to end up as they do different stuff every day! My favorite thing to do is cuddle, and I will plead with my big beautiful brown eyes until you pick me up. I love all dogs and play well with all sizes. I'm very intelligent and figure things out pretty quickly. I'm working on my potty training but for now I'm using pee pads with amazing accuracy! Don't wait as I will go quickly! Local adoption fee is $250 (i TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Meet Kris and Kringle — two very special boys who wandered onto their foster parents’ property on Christmas Eve. It truly was a Christmas miracle when they found warmth, full bellies, and cozy beds instead of being out in the cold. These boys are incredibly happy, sweet, and affectionate. They adore attention and will happily roll over for belly rubs, shower you with kisses, and follow you wherever you go. Kris and Kringle are wonderful with other dogs and absolutely love people. They’re ready to leave the miracle of Christmas behind and start the next chapter of their lives in loving forever homes. Could that be with you?

Story
Monty is a great name for a great dog like me ;) I have the Monty Python kind of humor... goofy and sweet! But, don't mess with my crate! That really is my only "pet: peeve!! I was found on the streets 2 years ago and was adopted as a pup... however, I became the boss in the house and didn't like anyone entering the house that I didn't know :( SO..... Back to the rescue, because they won't give up on me!! So here I am and I have really adjusted to the environment and new people meeting me and treats and lots of love. AND the crew here basically has determined that I need a family/adopters that will be in charge of the house. Someone I can trust to protect me so I don't have to!! I am vocal in my crate, so my crate needs to be away from the common areas so I can relax and not meet everyone that stops by. Once I settle into my new home I will follow your lead! I am a gorgeous boy, with caramel and milk chocolate highlights in my soft fur. I want to please my family and go on all kinds of adventures! I am awesome out and about, meeting new people and new friends :D I hope you will look into my eyes, the windows to my soul, and see the HOPE I have to find my own home again! The rescue is great because I got a second chance, but I REALLY want a home!! Local adoption only $200 (in TX)

Story
Hi my name is Sally! I’m a 5-7 year old Kelpie mix who is eager to please my people! I am house broken, kennel trained, I know sit, down and no. I will also sit and wait for my food until given the okay if asked. I love to play with toys and to have plenty of bones to chew on. Even though I came from somewhere with no snow I have loved going outside in it and even roll around. Snow in my opinion is pretty cool!I do well with other dogs, I can be a bit sassy however. I like to let them know by growling if I feel they are getting too close to my favorite toys, bones or people. But I also growl when I want to play, I’m pretty harmless just want to let people know I’m here and paying attention. I’m not sure about cats as I haven’t been around them so that would have to be an introduction if you have a kitty fur friend too. When my foster family is home I prefer to be close to one of them. My foster mom and dad tell me I’m the sweetest girl ever and someone would be lucky to have me. If you are looking for a want to be lap dog, a super loyal companion, someone to give belly rubs to and a billion kisses a day I may just be the one you’ve been looking for.All adoptions are $300 per dog for puppies under 1 year, $250 for adults 1 - 9 years old and $150 for senior dogs which include spay/neuter, micro-chipped and up-to-date on required shots. Senior dogs, at our discretion, are adopted out at $150 per dog because we know they will have less time with your family and may eventually have more needs as they get older. But we feel these dogs deserve to live out the rest of their lives as part of a loving family.
