My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Bentley was abandoned as a puppy at the vet's office and owners never went back for him. We took him in to raise. He grew large and is known as a gentle giant. He is very friendly, loves people and is very easy going. He is a mix of two different breeds. One is the Staffordshire Terrier, and one is the Border Collie. A variety of breeds were used to develop the "Amstaff" including the Bull Terrier, the Old English White Terrier, the Black and Tan, the Bulldog, the Mastiff, the Pointer, the Dalmatian and the Staffordshire Bull Terrier. The American Staffordshire Terrier is an intelligent, happy, outgoing, stable, and confident dog. They are good-natured, amusing, and extremely loyal and affectionate. Border Collies are very intelligent and sensitive which makes them easy to train. They have an uncanny ability to know what you are asking of them before you even ask it. Bentley is a good dog. No trouble at all, and no bad habits. Stays close to the house although he will lay in the pasture just observing the view. He is good with other dogs and kids, although I would prefer older children because of his size. If you are looking for a forever companion, look no further. He is an outside dog but sleeps in the garage at night. Contact me for questions or if you wish to meet him. We are near Sherman, Texas.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We charge $125 for the adult dogs. This is a re-homing fee that shows a sincere interest in the pet by the potential adopter. We require an application with references, a vet reference, and a home safety inspection. References are called. We also prefer a fenced yard.

We normally hold adoptions in conjunction with other rescues in and around and Sherman, TX.

More about this rescue

I am an individual that became aware of the euthanasia of dogs at shelters in 2012. (This is still happening everywhere due to overcrowding and overpopulation.) I went to a shelter one day to see the dogs on the euthanasia list. I asked to see 4 of them and was told I could not see them because they were "in the back". They got the manager at that point, that took me behind those closed doors, and I was only allowed to see 2 due to the fear of spreading germs. The volunteers helped me by putting one in an adjoining play yard, so I had 2 outside, and I saw the other 2 in the hall as we were passing thru. I adopted 4 dogs on the spot, one black bait dog, one pit bull, and two black mixed sisters. Those dogs walked out of that shelter that day. And that was the start of me rescuing dogs that had no chance at life.
I have adopted and cared for and re-homed dogs ever since. We have also cared for many mamas and puppies through the years. My passion is to get all these second chance dogs adopted to their forever homes, and then be able to work in another capacity to help in any way I can. My life has been forever changed. All these beating hearts are why we do what we do.
