Story
Kobe is a great dog and loves our family. We just do not have time for an Aussie due to kids sports and soon to be going away to college. His behavior is erratic and is a very nervous dog. He does not like some of our company but love on others. If he's comfortable with you he will show great love and care. Because our boys do not have the time to tend to him as he required he gets into trouble and digs under our fence to get to our neighbors dogs which he just plays with. He will need an owner that will take the time to train him properly and is able to give him a lot of time. He was born on a farm in Montana and then brought to our neck of the woods. He loves wrangling cows on adjacent farm We picked him up as a puppy but were finding out he requires much more time than we have. We love him dearly but its not fair to him with our schedules. Please consider Kobe if you meet these specifications. We are not in a rush to get rid of him and will want to make sure he goes to a good home.

Story
Ms Lulu is quite the character! She is happy and funny and Loves to run and run. When she stops, she stops! She took over the house and yard the first day protecting and keeping all threats away from the fence. She is a snuggler and will sit on the couch and sleep in the big person bed or an open crate. She does prowl and protect through the night. She is house trained and uses a doggy door. Lulu is okay with small dogs but maybe no dog under 20lbs until proper intros are made - otherwise male or female dogs are fine. No idea about cats. She is a cattle dog and seems as if she may have been trained to herd beyond what comes natural? She got out of the gate once and was fine with the goat and chickens. Cattle and horses would be safe. She is an active working dog who would love an active lifestyle if you can provide it. She loves the water too. She will herd children by nipping on their heels so maybe a bit older children who understand that's just what her breed does and won't cry. She does pretty well on a leash, rides in the car like a pro, loves puppies because she was a mom a time or two. Her tongue hangs out and her jaw is a bit off (maybe birth defect or an injury) but it does not affect her appetite! She is spayed, HW negative and up to date on shots. Lulu is a really sweet dog and wants a home of her own. please apply at www.krrtx.org/forms Please note Lulu is located in San Antonio, TX and is available for transport to your location through Your Tx Rescue Connection transport service. The fee includes adoption fee and transportation fee.

Story
Australian Shepherd/ Lab is the closest breed we can guess on her. Sorry we dont have good photos of sweet Sally. She was in foster in Texas since a puppy! She is totally trained with playing with a playgroup of dogs several times/day. Finally her turn at about 2 years to be adopted. ! House and potty trained!!! woof woof. Super affectionate sweet loving dog. She is a little shy at first, but opens up quickly. Has done great with other all other dogs even young puppies when done with proper introductions. She is with a rescue that is friends of Lufkin TX Kurth Memorial Animal Shelter friends. loving sweet sweet pup t is nearly impossible to say the breeds but her brother did have some Great Pyrenese in his DNA test. All of her siblings were adopted as puppies, its long been Sally's time to find her FOREVER home. https://shaynesrescue.com/adoption-application/ If interested we would have you speak with her rescuer. Many dogs are impossible to say the breeds but it is anyone's guess. As we know, mutts statistically speaking will live longer and have less vet bills!. All of our Lufkin Kurth Texas dogs were hand selected and are literally their favorites. Everyone who has adopted adores their dogs. She will totally win you over. , Please do apply!!! All our dogs are spay/neutered, current on DHPP and rabies shots, microchipped, tested hw negative, so all of that is done. Our adoptions include professional dog rescue transport to WA and health certificates (vet visit just prior to coming to WA). Any questions, please email us at shaynesrescue@gmail.com Best to include your phone number and good times to call too!

Story
My uncle took in Pepper from someone who abandoned her. Given his chronic pain & low monthly budget, she needs rehoming. She has some accidents in the home, this would be curbed w/ training & regular walks. We have found that she has seizures at night. The seizures don't seem life threatening, but are disorienting. She has never been formally diagnosed & was in-heat last week. Pepper can be aloof & likes to settle down for long naps on a made bed. She is like a cat that wants to lay in the sun. She doesn't seem to know how to play with toys. She can be around other dogs, but it's hard to read if she enjoys playing with them. She is definitely fine w/ low energy dogs. She seems scared of big dogs while on walks. Pepper is a sweetie for sure. She enjoys pets. Her favorite thing is to be talked to sweetly while receiving pets. Pepper has responded positively to calm, patient, attentive care. Overall, to thrive she just needs a loving home & to be cared for with patience & kindness.

These pups are in Olympia, Washington too!

Story
Hugo is a force of nature. He is an extremely sweet and intelligent 4 year old dog but he also has some challenges. He has always been an anxious dog but his leash reactivity has gotten worse throughout the years. I have taken him to multiple trainers and tried different medications but sadly nothing has worked. I’m sure he could benefit from more professional training and the right medication but I just don’t have the money and at the end of the day, living in an apartment, I just can’t provide the right environment for his needs. Despite his leash reactivity, he loves being around people and dogs when there aren’t any barriers or constraints. He is playful, loves to be chased, and is obsessed with balls. He was also raised with a cat who he gets along with well. He really should be in a home with a yard so he can get the physical stimulation he needs.
