Story
🌸 Meet Annie — Your High-Energy, Big-Hearted Bestie 🌸 Annie is the sweetest burst of energy you’ll ever bring home. She’s a young dog with true puppy energy and a huge love for her people. Annie thrives on attention, closeness, and being part of whatever you’re doing — she’s a certified velcro girl in the best way. She loves to play and has a big, enthusiastic play style, which is why she’ll do best in a home with kids 7+ or adults who enjoy an active, lively companion. Walks, backyard ball throwing, and general adventuring are right up her alley. When the day winds down, Annie flips the switch into cuddle mode and happily sleeps on the bed with her person. Important placement notes: 🏡 Annie needs to be an only pet — she is not comfortable living with other dogs or cats long-term. While she has played well with a foster sibling, we are not comfortable placing her in a home with existing pets. 🦴 Annie is also a chewer and will happily destroy unattended items like shoes, kids’ plush toys, and holiday décor. Puppy-proofing and appropriate chew outlets will be important for her success. Her previous family made the heartbreaking decision to rehome her when their senior, 12-year-old dog could no longer share space comfortably, and a few scuffles occurred. Annie has shown she does best when her environment is structured, enriched, and centered around her. ✨ Potty trained ✨ Crate trained ✨ Doggie-door savvy ✨ Loyal, playful, affectionate Annie has so much joy and love to give and will absolutely flourish in a home that matches her energy and sets her up for success. If you’re looking for a devoted, fun-loving companion who wants to be your shadow, your hype girl, and your cuddle buddy — Annie might be your perfect match. 💛🐾

Story
💙 Meet Sylvie 💙 With her sparkling blue eyes and gentle soul, Sylvie is the kind of girl who quietly steals your heart. ✨ At around 4 years old and 22 pounds, this Mini Aussie has truly blossomed in her foster home. Once a shy little mama (she raised the adorable Paris litter like a pro 💕), Sylvie has learned how wonderful it feels to play with toys, zoom around the yard, and soak up all the love she deserves. She’s house trained, walks beautifully on leash, and gets along amazingly with dogs, kids, cats, and even livestock. 🐾🐮 Basically anything. She will thrive in a home with a confident canine companion. Sylvie can be a bit more comfortable with women at first, but she’s growing braver every day — and with a little patience, her trust and affection shine through like the sweetest sunrise. ☀️ Whether she’s doing her happy zoomies or curling up for a cuddle, Sylvie is a gentle, loving girl who’s ready to find her forever home — one that sees the same magic in her that her foster family does. 💫

✨ Meet Minnie — Your Pocket-Sized Ray of Aussie Sunshine ✨ 2–3 yrs • Spayed Female • Red Aussie Mix • 100% Good Vibes Minnie was found off I-40 near Amarillo with her senior buddy, Felix, and has been winning hearts ever since. She’s the full Aussie starter pack — friendly, smart, loyal, and convinced life is better when she’s hanging out with her people. 💛 Her highlight reel: ✅ Super friendly with humans ✅ Crate trained + potty polite ✅ Great on leash ✅ Knows basic commands ✅ Does well with dogs when introduced calmly ✅ Loves being included in… literally everything Cat status: she said “what ARE those??” — got slapped, took the note, avoids them now. 😂 Likely best in a no-cat home. Minnie brings that classic Aussie energy — playful, attentive, people-focused, and ready for adventures, training, or couch snuggles. She’s easy to love and even easier to live with. If you want a smart, affectionate, eager-to-please BFF who makes every day brighter… ✨ Minnie’s your girl. ✨ 📍 Apply: ntxaussierescue.org/adopt

Story
🐾 Meet Blanco (Blonkies if you’re a close friend) 30 lbs • Double Merle • Crate + Potty Pro • Dog-Friendly • Certified Snuggle Monster Blanco is that perfect mix of adventurous outside, cuddle-sloth inside. He LOVES to snuggle, LOVES treats even more, and LOVES using his whole body to express joy — which is adorable, but yes, we’re politely working on the “no launching myself onto humans” rule. Millennial enthusiasm, you know? He’s curious, goofy, playful, and honestly kind of hilarious. Walks? He’s obsessed. Leash skills? We’re getting there. Crate time? He settles in after a bit of “I would like to speak to the manager” whining and then snoozes like a champ. Blanco is likely deaf, so he thrives with hand signals, gentle wake-ups, and a human who gets that different doesn’t mean difficult. He’s smart, routine-oriented, and will sprint into his crate if you even think about grabbing a treat. He’s still learning what’s a chew toy vs. what’s… not. But bathroom accidents? None. Zero. Gold star student. 💙 A quick but important note: Blanco is a double merle, meaning he has special needs caused by irresponsible breeding practices. Double Merle Aussies are the result of a genetic defect from improper breeding of 2 Merle colored Aussies. This creates a genetic cocktail of potential issues with hearing, vision, and neurological. While they are easily trained using hand signals, voice commands, or even vibrating colors, not all defects necessarily present themselves early on. Committing to these dogs now means committing to consistent checkups around the potential defects and care should something present itself in the future.  Dogs like Blanco shine when given structure, patience, and love. If you want a quirky, snuggly, food-motivated adventure buddy who will absolutely become your whole personality, Blanco is your guy. 🏡 Apply to adopt at ntxaussierescue.org/adopt

Thankfully a good Samaritan found him and brought him safely to us. He is affectionate, happy, and very loving. He is also a Doggie Day Out ROCKSTAR and loves going out on walks with our volunteers. They report that he greets everyone he meets with patience, kindness and eagerness... almost like he is hoping this might be the person to give him the chance he needs. Kirby has a lot going against him... he is a big black dog in the shelter... something that already makes it harder for him to find a forever home. Then there is the heartworm status. Kirby has tested positive for heartworms, but please don`t let that stop you....A Quick Note About My Heartworm Status I’ve tested positive for heartworms, but don’t let that scare you! Heartworms are treatable, and with the right care (which our team is happy to talk to you about low cost treatment options in our area), I can go on to live a long, happy, and healthy life. Many wonderful dogs like me test positive for heartworms through no fault of our own and we just need a little extra TLC and some time to heal. The most important thing I need right now is a loving home where I can rest, recover, and feel safe. Please don’t let the word heartworm make you pass me by, I have so much love to give, and I promise I’ll make every bit of the journey worth it. If you’re looking for an amazing dog who’s ready for a fresh start, I’m your new best friend. As a VIP Pet, Kirby has a reduced adoption fee!
