Story
- Smart girl who knows sit- Loves to learn and has great focus - especially if you have treats - so would be a lot of fun to train - Tends to be socially awkward with other dogs (dog intro recommended)- Loves going on walks and does best with a harness- May take some time to warm up to new dogs and may prefer some dogs over others; would be most comfortable with a slow introduction to new dogs (dog intro recommended) - Needs a home with no cats All adoptable dogs and puppies are spayed/neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations (rabies and DA2PPV as appropriate for their age)The ARL's shelter software requires that we choose a primary breed for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most dogs we are only guessing at primary breed. We get to know each dog as an individual and do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not breed label. Primary Color: White Weight: 53 Age: 6yrs 1mths 1wks

If you are seeing our pets posted in your state, that's because you live near a transport stop, they are not currently at that location.

Story
Gracie Belle - Yes, having two names definitely makes me extra special! And believe me, I AM special! I'm not your average pup; I'm a delightful boxer mix with ears that act like radars, always tuned in to the fun and excitement around me. I've got a genuine penchant for adventure and a passion for running that knows no bounds. As I've grown, I've blossomed into a loving and mature young dog. My youthful exuberance is now complemented by a deeper sense of loyalty and affection. I've learned the ropes of good behavior, and I'm ready to be the devoted companion you've been looking for. I'm an active girl, and I thrive alongside other active, friendly dogs or I am good by myself to take all the attention from you :) With my sleek and muscular build, weighing in at about 50-55 pounds, I'm the perfect size for all kinds of outdoor activities. I'd make the ideal companion for a family that loves to keep moving! Do you enjoy running, hiking, camping, boating, or any adventure under the sun? Well, guess what? I'm ready to be your partner in all those exciting escapades. So why wait? Fill out that adoption application today, and let's embark on a lifetime of thrilling journeys together! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area - $50 Temporary Fuel Charge will be added)

Story
I'm gonna make you an wo-offer you can't refuse. That's Pacino's favorite phrase. The adoption deal is simple: a roof over his head, a cold dish of water, daily meals and treats, plus an abundance of love. What? It's a good deal! Pacino, now over a year old, has become a true Dogfather. He is well-behaved, happy-go lucky, is very handsome, and has a wonderful, playful nature; he fits seamlessly into any family. His lineage boasts a long line of Dog-Father's, tough dogs out in the world whose business is their own. But, they are loyal, loving and strong characters to have around you.. He's a potty-trained and crate-trained gentleman, but he still has a penchant for chewing. He adores treats and toys, but can go through them quickly. Proper and slow introductions to other dogs are essential. Pacino would thrive best with older kids. Join the legacy and give Pacino the family he deserves. After all, a dog like him is an offer you can't refuse. Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area - $50 Temporary Fuel Charge will be added)

Story
Carley’s journey started when she wandered into a kind couple’s yard. They brought her to the vet to check for a microchip, but sadly, no one came to claim her. Now, this sweet girl is ready to find the forever family she truly deserves. Carley is a medium-sized Boxer/Pitbull mix with the best of both breeds — she’s got that lovable smushy Boxer face and classic Pittie markings! She only comes up to about knee height, making her the perfect size for snuggling or tagging along on adventures. She’s playful and energetic but also knows how to relax and enjoy a good cuddle. Carley thrives on companionship and would be happiest by your side, whether you're out for a walk or just hanging out at home. She’s the perfect mix of fun and affection, and she’s waiting for someone who will love her as much as she’ll love them. If you're looking for a loyal, goofy, and loving best friend, Carley is your girl! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Mira is an amazingly sweet girl. She is great with other dogs but does not do well with our cats and we have to keep the cats in basement. She does very well with our 2 kids (4 and 6) and is amazingly gentle with them. Our biggest problem is that when we have other kids over or neighbors in their yard, she gets anxious and excited. She has jumped/scratced. If we keep her inside she has a very hard time calming down and gets very stressed, even in her kennel (barking, trying to escape kennel, and panting). When kids are not playing, she is crate trained well. We have tried about everything, including trainers, to help her with this but have not found anything that works. She is not aggressive as in I do not worry about her biting anyone. Overall, she is such a sweet girl. I think she would be less stressed In adult home with no cats or in an experienced home with kids. I will be extremely picky on who she will rehome to, if continued training continues to fail.
