Story
Hello. We are in need of a new home for this miniature Australian Shepherd. She is a 10-week-old puppy, blue Merle color and has AKC papers. She has a lot of energy and needs an active lifestyle. Loves people, especially kids! Already knows how to chase a ball & bring it back! She is vocal & has a lot to say. Still learning house rules and still teething. Cannot be left alone for long periods of time. Crate training during the day is in the works but she does well at night. Recommend spaying after 6 months.

Story
I am a Senior and relocating. Buster is a well behaved dog. He is 3 years old, weighs about 17 pounds and house trained. He travels well in a car and loves attention. He was raised in the country with other dogs. He is shy to people at first but adjust well. He listens to commands and is very smart. He walks on a leash or not. He is a pedigree. He loves to go for walks and if on trail unleashed, he will stick with you. Best suited with a yard or land. All vet records available. A great dog but my life changes require that Buster gets a new home. I will miss him.

Story
We got Layla down in Nashville as a puppy. She's 8 years old (turning 9 this spring). Looking for someone who can actually give her a happy back nine of her life. I have no idea how long she'll live, but we have 3 kids under 5 and zero time to give her the attention she deserves. It's honestly a bit heartbreaking. Thinking of her sitting in the house and not doing fun activities for the next 5 or so years is already sad enough. To be clear, I don't actually want to get rid of her. She's brought us so much joy over the years. We're just not in the season of life to give her what she deserves. She's super great with people, loves attention (a lot), and still has puppy energy. She'll climb up on your lap if you let her, and somehow she never smells bad. If you can take her on walks, give her love, and don't mind a dog that lets you know when someone pulls into the driveway, you'll adore her.

Story
Just look at those eyes! Tinky Winky is the cutest young fellow. Like a lotof puppies his age, he is goofy and silly, and he is perfecting hisfetching skills. Tinky Winky has not been exposed to much of the typicalpuppy stuff, though, and he is looking for an adopter who will give him thetime ne needs to grow his confidence. Adopter should be willing to go athis pace and read and respond to his signals. He loves to learn and playwith friends. We think Tinky Winky will do best in a home withoutchildren. In terms of living with another dog, he could benefit from acalm, well matched doggie role model who has a polite play style. TinkyWinky could possibly live with a dog savvy cat given a thoughtfulintroduction.

Story
Our family adopted TJ as a baby, we have worked diligently on training, caring and socializing him. During times of tighter schedules we had him in daycare and adult work led to some of his training being not as successful. Meaning - at times laundry gathering, or burying bones in the coach. Our schedule changed to provide him longer walks and more attention. That begun to improve his behavior. But with the change TJ started really claiming main care giver more then the 20 year old adult child. This looked like more playful, littermate activities with the 20 year old and TJ trying to lead the flock. The last month health became a factor where priorities begun to change. Where he is up to date on shots except distemper. We are so in love with him and would want a large yard, attentive family or solo care giver. He is playful with dogs but does need monitoring due to his desire to lead.

Story
Juniper truly is a remarkable dog. It is estimated that she is about four years old. Found on the streets of Houston, she has over come so much. Juniper is deaf and mostly blind but that doesn't stop her. She loves playing with her bouncy ball. She seems to be solar charged. She is most goofy and playful in the morning then chills out almost immediately (to begin one of her many naps of the day). But she will get very excited if she smells her leash coming out. She LOVES meeting new people, and will greet them with a down dog bow and lots of full body wiggles and helicopter tail wags. With other dogs in the home, she either plays with them or ignores them. Her only hurdle is that she is resource aggressive towards food (so feeding her alone is ideal) and sadly, me. She has decided one of her owner is a resource and one is a threat. She would be amazing with a single adult parent or a couple who are patient and ready to learn her touch cues as well as let her feel safe over time.
