Meet Jake! This little wranglin’ buckaroo is the cutest cowboy on this side of the Lone Star frontier! With his sweet spirit and big Texas heart, Jake is ready to mosey his way right into his forever family. He’s potty trained, leash trained, obedience trained, and fully house trained — truly the whole package. Jake is wonderful with other dogs and kiddos, making him an easy, joyful addition to just about any home. If you’ve been lookin’ for a loyal sidekick to join you on life’s adventures (or just curl up beside you after a long day on the ranch), Jake is your boy. https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/NASD/Dog

Story
Meet Lily — the sweetest mama with a heart full of love. This brave mama raised 12 precious puppies all on her own before we rescued her — and now she deserves a loving home where she’s the star. Lily’s gentle, affectionate, and just a little shy at first — but once she realizes she’s safe, she warms up fast. She’s good with kids, gets along well with other dogs, and her calm, loving presence makes her a wonderful companion. She’s crate trained and potty trained, and she’s steadily learning leash manners and basic obedience. If you think Lily might be the one for you, you can apply for adoption here: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/NASD/Dog Let’s give this sweet mama the forever home she’s been longing for.
