You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Rose was saved from the streets of Laredo.  She was being fostered by a good Samaritan who tried to socialize her, but had trouble getting her out of the closet.  She has acclimated really well to our program, loves being outside during the day with the other dogs.  Comes in at night and goes to her kennel to sleep.  She appears to be housebroken. She wants to be people friendly, but she had to warm up to you first.  I suspect she has been traumatized while she was on the streets.  The good sam said the neighbors were chasing her away and throwing rocks at her.  She is starting to realize not all humans are mean.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 7, 2026, 1:30 pm

Story
Scruffy, fluffy, and slick-haired puppies—oh my! This adorable litter truly has a little bit of everything when it comes to looks and personality. With a petite 13 lb mom and what we believe may be two dads (both under 25 lbs), these pups are expected to stay on the smaller side—but big on love! They’re the perfect mix of playful and snuggly. Whether it’s zooming around with their favorite toys, proudly carrying around their beloved stuffies, or climbing into your lap for cuddles and kisses, they’re always ready to bring joy to your day. Because of their unique coats, these pups will need regular, lifelong grooming to keep them looking and feeling their best—but in return, you’ll have minimal shedding and maximum cuteness! If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate companion with a little extra style, one of these sweet pups might be your perfect match. Local adoption fee is $350(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $650 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Lotus 🌸 Named after the flower that rises and blooms beautifully despite the mud, Lotus is a quiet testament to resilience. Pulled from a rural shelter, she didn’t know at first that people could be kind. When she arrived at her foster home, she was unsure and fearful—but with patience, gentle care, and time, Lotus has started to trust and show her true self. Like her name, she is slowly but surely blooming. Lotus is good with other dogs, crate trained, and pee pad trained. She finds comfort in the presence of canine companions and would do well in a home that understands she may need a little extra time to feel safe. At this time, Lotus is not a cuddler, but as she continues to build trust, she may grow into enjoying that closeness. She is also not an apartment-type dog. Lotus will need a home where she can move at her own pace and feel secure before being introduced to things like walks and busier environments. Lotus is looking for a patient and understanding family—one willing to let her open up on her own timeline, just as her foster mom has done. With love and consistency, she will continue to grow into something truly beautiful. Local Only adoption fee is $200(in TX)

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi, I’m Melvin. I came from a partner shelter where I ended up on the euthanasia list, but I got a second chance and I’m really glad I did. I’m a Chihuahua mix with a fun, spunky personality. I love to play—especially with my toys—and I’m always up for a little fun. I get along well with other dogs I meet and enjoy having company. I’ve got a playful side, but I’m not over the top about it—I can settle down and just hang out too. I’d do well in a lot of different homes, as long as I have someone to spend time with and a few toys to keep me busy. I’m neutered, up to date on all my vaccines, protected with ProHeart 12 and Bravecto, and microchipped—so I’m all ready to head home whenever you are. My adoption fee is $400. If you think we might be a good match, you can apply for me at www.adoggie4you.org . I’m currently in Texas, but I can travel to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington, KY, and along the East Coast. If I need a ride, there’s an additional $225 transport fee.

Story
Meet Ruby! This sweet young lady is everything wrapped up in one adorable little package. Ruby was rescued from a hoarding situation where she lived with many dogs in a small apartment with very little human interaction. Because of that, the world is still new to her — but she’s learning every day that it can be a safe and happy place. Ruby bonds easily with other dogs and truly thrives with canine companionship. She looks to other dogs for comfort and guidance, and meeting new dog friends is her absolute favorite thing! A confident, friendly dog in her forever home would help her continue to blossom. If you’re looking for a dog who instantly bonds with people, Ruby may not be your girl just yet. She needs a patient, loving, and understanding home that will give her the time and space to build trust at her own pace. Once she feels safe, you’ll see her sweet and silly personality shine. Ruby may be slow to trust, but she’s incredibly observant and learns quickly. From chasing her own shadow to hopping up on her hind legs to catch a moth, her goofy curiosity and innocent spirit will absolutely melt your heart. With patience, love, and a cozy spot to curl up at night, Ruby will grow into the most loyal and devoted companion. Local adoption only $200 (in TX)

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Stormy is a one-of-a-kind Pomeranian/Husky mix with a big personality packed into a small, fluffy package. She came to us after her previous owner realized she wasn’t a good fit for a home with chickens—so she’ll need a home without them, and NO cats. She’s a friendly, outgoing girl who does well with other dogs and loves meeting people. Stormy has a fun, spunky energy and would be happiest in an active home that can keep her busy and engaged. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just being part of the action, she’s all in. Stormy seems to be mostly potty trained, but she may need a little reminder as she adjusts to a new routine. With some consistency, she should settle in just fine. Because of her fluffy coat, Stormy will need someone to stay on top of her brushing and grooming to keep her comfortable and prevent matting.  She’s spayed, heartworm negative, microchipped, and current on vaccines. She’s also been given ProHeart 12 and Bravecto, so she’s all set health-wise and ready to go. Her adoption fee is $500. To apply, please visit www.adoggie4you.org and complete an application. Stormy is currently in Texas but can be transported to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington, KY, and locations along the East Coast. If transport is needed, an additional fee of $225 will apply. Please note that we are unable to transport to Rhode Island or Massachusetts due to state regulations.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 15, 2026, 1:22 pm
