My story

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

Hi, I’m Licorice



Since you are reading this, you’re obviously looking for a new best friend - hey, so am I!  It doesn’t matter how old you are or what you look like, but in case these things matter to you, I was born sometime in May 2023. I’m a mixed breed and weigh approximately 50 lbs. I have a gorgeous black shiny coat with the most stunning white star on my chest. My foster mommy named me after her favorite candy.  Hey, that’s me in the picture. Ain't I handsome?



I was born somewhere in East Texas and came from a litter of seven puppies.  My sisters and I were abandoned June 2023 on the side of the road in a cardboard box.  We were very hot and thirsty, and our tummies were grumbling, because the grass and rocks we ate were not keeping us full.  Luckily, a Good Samaritin saved us and called Cody's Friends Rescue.  We were even more lucky when Cody's found a foster family that would take all seven of us together!  All of my sisters have been adopted or moved to new foster homes, but I am still waiting for my furever family.  In my foster home is my foster mommy, daddy, and my favorite human buddy (check us out in the photos).  There is also Conway a 3 year old pit bull/lab mix, and my best friend Mia who's the same age as me (check us out in the photos)!



Want to know my favorite color?  It’s green of course - just look at my collar.



I love playing with squeaky toys, balls, and tug-o-war with rope toys.  I am a big chewer and definitely need chew toys to keep me busy.  My most favorite chew toys are yak sticks and chew hooves.



I am very energetic and active, but when I’m pooped out, I love to chill out on the sofa while getting belly rubs.



I really try to restrain myself, but I can’t help digging in my foster dad’s veggie garden and compost bin.  He sure isn’t happy about that, but digging is so much fun!



I also like to steal and chew my foster family's socks.  I am crate trained and whenever you leave home it's a good idea to put me in a crate, so I am not tempted to chew something I shouldn't.



Meeting new dogs and going to the dog park is very overwhelming for me, so my foster mommy says I would do much better as an only dog or with only one selective buddy.



I am especially good at math and know exactly how many treats are in your pocket at all times.



I hope you like kisses, because I am very affectionate and love giving wet doggy kisses.



I am kid-friendly, house trained, crate trained, fully vetted, microchipped, neutered, and let's not forget extremely handsome!  What more could ya want?



So . . .  what do you say?  You wanna be my bestie FOREVER?

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Thank you for adopting and not buying!!! Every week hundreds of highly adoptabledogs are put to death by local shelters. Most people would be amazed at the purebred and beautiful dogs available, if they walked into their neighborhood shelter.

Rescue organizations, like mine, work hard to save as many as we possibly can but is a never ending process with breeders and Puppy Mills selling unhealthy animals to the public. If you EVER saw a puppy mill you would NEVER buy again!

All of my dogs are neutered or spayed, vet checked, completely vaccinated, wormed, groomed and checked for heart worms. They are all are current on Heart worm medicine, flea, and tick medications. They are all microchipped as well.

Adoption fee is $300 to $350 (older "friends' can be less, please inquire. Puppies are $350 - Besides fully vetting all dogs, some of of the dogs I rescue, 1 in 5 I rescue have heart worms which is very expensive to treat. I also take in dogs who need surgeries and are close to death.

More about this rescue

About us: Cody was the first pet I owned as an adult. He was a Shih Tzu that I bought unknowingly, from a Puppy Mill. He fought for his life and barely survived, suffering for the first few months of his life. From then on I was stirred by a ferocious passion to save as many dogs as I could through networking with other rescue groups and saving the ones I could off of cold streets and unwanted in shelters. Cody did not live a very long life due to a weakened body, but I was able to love on him for eight good years! He will always be loved and forever remembered. With over 400 dogs rescued so far, we ARE making a difference!!
Thank you for visiting and considering a rescue........................
