Story
l Leeloo is a 6-year-old, Border Collie who loves water, frisbee and life. She is up to date on her shots, HW negative and a great member of doggy society as she loves, people of all ages, cats and doggy friends. Leeloo is the dog who makes you believe in love at first sight and then proves it every single day after. She's a striking girl all white fur, pale blue eyes, and a pink nose that's usually dirty from whatever adventure she just came back from. She's the kind of beautiful that stops people on the sidewalk. And she knows it, because she'll army-crawl right up to their feet and roll belly-up for rubs before they even ask. Leeloo was born deaf, and she has adapted beautifully. She pays incredibly close visual attention to her people, she's sensitive to light and vibration, and she responds to a solid vocabulary of hand signals: sit, lay down, drop it, come, stop, inside. She has always stayed close on walks and in the yard. The only exception is her favorite park, where frisbee brain takes over and honestly, who can blame her. Her deafness isn't a limitation. It's made her more attuned to her people than most hearing dogs will ever be. There is so much more to say about this and for a full story line we have it ready to delight you.

Story
This is muffin. We rescued her in Nov. 2025. We believe she is 7-8 months. She is a very very active and lovable dog, but she needs more attention and unfortunately we cannot give her that due to schedules/health issues. We have kids that she enjoys playing with. She has lots of energy so she can keep up! We also have an older dog she gets along with. I think she would really enjoy a younger play mate that will run around and play with her. She did a trial with a family that had cats, so I believe she can warm up to them. I can give vaccine records. I don’t know if she is fully up to date. She will also come with some toys, food bowl, leash, collar, etc. We hope to find her a happy home with active people or an active family!

Sheila was bought from another family before she should’ve been, we had been told she was older than she was. She is about 2 months old. She is very sweet but does have trouble with bladder issues when no one is home. I hope to find a family that is a good fit for and can give her the home she deserves

Molly is an extremely sweet dog that LOVES humans. She does great with kids and listens very well. She was adopted as a puppy and has been the best dog since. We don’t want to give her up, but our daughter is extremely allergic to animals. She does great with other dogs, plays sporadically with them but prefers the company of humans.

Story
This is Mattie, she is a beautiful and sweet Australian Shepard/Collie mix. Mattie was adopted at 2 years old down in South Texas from the pound. Mattie has lived with another dog and has gotten along with him and other dogs her entire life. The last 3 years she has been around infants and toddlers 24/7. She loves pets and is extremely loving. Her goofy personality and bright two different colored eyes will attract you immediately to her. The only time that she becomes defensive/aggressive is around food. Sadly we are having to rehome her due to an uncharacteristic bite on our toddler while trying to eat food. We would love to give her to anyone who would love her and cherish her.
