Story
Hello, gorgeous girl… meet Dolly Mae   Dolly Mae is a sweet, gentle mama who was turned into the shelter with her five tiny puppies because her owners said they “had too many animals”… words we hear far too often.   One of her babies was baby Socks… the sweet boy we tried so hard to save, but lost in less than 24 hours.   After that, we asked about Dolly Mae and her other puppies, hoping to bring them to safety too… but we were told we couldn’t take them because of the shelter’s adoption event — they were “adoption only.”   So we waited. We watched closely.   One by one, her puppies were chosen… all adopted on the very first day. But not Dolly Mae. And honestly… she shouldn’t have even been there. This mama doesn’t need a busy adoption floor — she needs rest, healing, and someone to finally take care of her. It’s so clear her body has been through far too much. When we finally got the okay to take her, we didn’t hesitate. This morning, Dolly Mae walked out of the shelter and into safety.   She’s now decompressing at our trainer’s home, and she is everything you could hope for — incredibly sweet, loving, and just wants to be by your side, giving hugs and kisses. But there’s still a quiet sadness in her eyes… You can tell she’s looking for her babies. They were only 6 weeks old — she wasn’t ready to say goodbye.   Dolly Mae is only about 2 years old, a petite Aussie mix at 26 pounds (should be closer to 30–35 healthy). She has her whole life ahead of her, and we are determined to make it a good one. Right now, she needs a soft place to land while she heals. A foster home is needed, or even a foster-to-adopt. Let's give this sweet mama the love she's always deserved!    April 19, 2026, 10:14 am

If you would like more information about Angel or are interested in adopting her, please send an email to davidchandler1213@gmail.com Meet Angel – A Sweet Soul Looking for a Calm, Loving Home Angel is a beautiful 9-year-old Australian Shepherd mix with a gentle spirit and a heart full of love. We adopted her in 2018, and she’s been a loyal companion ever since. She’s house-trained, well-mannered indoors, and happiest when she’s by your side on a peaceful walk or relaxing nearby. Angel thrives in a calm, predictable environment. She hasn’t done well with other dogs, so she’d do best as the only dog in the home. But she gets along well with our cats so it's possible she could adjust to other cats. Her ideal home would be with adults or older children. Although Angel can pull when she sees other dogs, she absolutely loves going for walks and being outdoors. We recently welcomed a baby into our home, and unfortunately, Angel has been showing signs of stress around the baby. This decision has been heartbreaking, but we want to do what’s best for her, and that means finding a home where she can feel safe, relaxed, and loved. Angel is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and in good health. She would be a wonderful companion for someone looking for a loyal, low-key best friend to share their life with. If you think you could be the right fit for Angel, we’d love to talk with you and arrange a meet and greet.

Story
Meet Beasley! Breed: Australian Shepherd x Blue Heeler MixGender: FemaleAge: 4 years oldSize: Medium/Large (50 lbs)Good with: Being the one and only Beasley is bountiful in both beauty and energy—this stunning Australian Shepherd x Blue Heeler mix is the total package if you're looking for a gorgeous, athletic companion who wants to be your entire world. At 50 pounds of pure working dog enthusiasm, Beasley has the drive, intelligence, and energy you'd expect from this powerhouse combo of breeds. Here's the deal: Beasley is a queen, and queens don't share their throne. She doesn't do well with other dogs and would much prefer to rule her kingdom solo. This isn't a flaw, it's just who she is—she wants all your attention, all your love, and all your couch space, thank you very much. No roommates needed or wanted. With her herding breed smarts, Beasley needs a home that can keep both her body and mind busy. She's not a "chill on the couch all day" kind of dog (though she'll absolutely claim the couch once she's earned it). Think long walks, training sessions, puzzle toys, and activities that let her use that beautiful brain. She's the kind of dog who will learn every trick you teach her and then invent a few of her own. Beasley needs an experienced owner who understands herding breeds, has an active lifestyle, and is looking for a devoted one-dog companion. If you want a stunning, smart, energetic girl who will be 100% focused on you, Beasley is ready to claim you as hers! Ready to welcome Beasley into your life? Contact us to meet this wonderful girl! Disclaimer: The information in this profile reflects observations made while this dog has been in our shelter environment. We strive to describe each dog as accurately as possible; however, behavior and needs may change once the dog is in a new home, routine, or environment. Our dogs are not freeroaming in homes. When we note that a dog is "potty trained," this refers to reliable crate training, not confirmed freeroam house training. Accidents are normal during the transition to a new home, and additional training should be expected. All dogs are examined by our veterinarian, are spayed or neutered if old enough, and are up to date on ageappropriate vaccinations at the time of adoption. We share all known medical information, but we cannot guarantee future health or rule out underlying conditions. ALL adoptions require a completed application, vet check, and final contract. The application to adopt can be found at www.happyfacespetranch.org Once your application has been approved, a representative will be in touch to set up a meet and greet. We select the best applicant for each dog based on the dog's individual needs. ##2602414##

Bea is a gentle, quiet, and calm companion. She is still learning how to be a dog and is slowly coming out of her shell more each day. Right now, Bea is most often found lounging on her dog bed and quietly following me around the house. She deserves a quiet home she can learn to trust. Email BARCfoster@houstontx.gov to get to know more about her!
