Story
Shrimp — a little gentleman with a big heart, weighing in at just 8 lbs. This 10-year-old Chihuahua–Maltese mix we think, is as sweet as they come. Shrimp is a gentle, happy boy who loves nothing more than being close to his person. He’ll happily follow you from room to room, just to make sure you don’t get lost without him. Even though he doesn’t have any teeth, Shrimp is a true foodie at heart — mealtime is his favorite time! He’s crate trained and sleeps well, though sometimes he can’t quite make it through the night, so he wears a diaper just to be safe. House training is still a work in progress, but he’s learning. If you’re looking for a loyal little shadow who will fill your days with love and quiet companionship, Shrimp is ready to wiggle right into your heart. Local Only adoption fee is $200(in TX)

Story
Ready for a new friend? Meet Honey! Honey is a sweet dog, just like her name she is oozing with affection and love. She is a very medium/small sized beagle/chi mix, she is housebroken and likes to let people know when she needs to go out by pawing at your legs. Loves to cuddle with you, she can be a velcro dog sometimes and will make your couch her permanent home!. Honey doesn't like to share her affection with others and is adoptable into a single dog/animal home. She does tolerate the foster mom's kitties but honestly she would really love to be the center of someone's life. She has MORE than enough love and devotion to fill your heart every day. She is crate trained. She loves to sleep in the bed too! If you are looking for the yin to your yang, the bread to your jam or the pup to your life... HONEY is the ONE!!!! 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
Ealy is the sweetest little girl you could ever meet, with a heart full of love and affection. She is happiest when she’s cuddled up close to her people and truly needs that connection. Whether it’s snuggling on the couch, playing with her toys, or following you around the house, Ealy just wants to be part of the family. She adores everyone she meets—adults, kids, and strangers alike—and does wonderfully with other dogs. Toys are one of her favorite things, and she can happily entertain herself or invite her dog friends to play. When the leash comes out, Ealy lights up with excitement because she knows it’s time for a walk and more time spent with her favorite humans. Ealy is doing great with potty training and uses a doggy door to go outside. She prefers being near her people and can feel anxious when crated, but because she loves her family so deeply. She would thrive in a home where her people enjoy a dog that wants to be close, cuddly, and involved in everyday life. More than anything, Ealy is looking for a loving family who wants a true companion—one who will give kisses freely, cuddle endlessly, and love with her whole heart. She has so much love to give and will make an incredibly loyal, affectionate addition to the right home. Ealy is truly the best little girl and is ready to find her forever family to cuddle for a lifetime. Local adoption fee is $250(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Baby Bat embodies the personality, uniqueness and likeness of the Batman. First, he works alone. No sidekicks or partners. He prefers solitude and his space. Baby Bat has lived with his foster and her dog pack for 5 years, he gets along with them but tolerates them at most. He would do well in a home where he is the only dog, no children, and adults only. Next, Baby Bat is an apex predator. Which means he needs his sleep and food and not to be interrupted or coddled when given either. Baby Bat is not a lap or cuddly dog. Finally, did we mention Baby Bat is a Chihuahua mix? That's a really important detail! Baby Bat is a great and loyal dog seeking a great family to adopt him! 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
Presley is a very sweet senior Chi that came to us with some leg stiffness due to a luxating patella that is frozen in place and a large growth on her toe on her hind leg. We have had it checked out and have scheduled a biopsy to determine if the mass under the cyst is malignant or benign so Presley will not be available until after the first of the year when we have that done and have received the results back. She does attached to a human which is a typical Chi and is very sweet! She was great with body handling at the vet!December 22, 2025, 1:28 pm

Story
I’ve had nena for about 3 or 4 years, I don’t know her birthday because she was found on the street and was given to me, the precious owners tried to get her back but my mother told them no because they let her get loose on the street by herself, (my mother is a lier, I don’t know if that part is true. I don’t know who her previous owners were but I’ve had her since. She used to have a cherry eye on her left eye, I paid to get her surgery and got her neutered as well, it was around $1,250, they said it might come back one day but that was about 2 years ago. I love her, she’s an amazing dog, but I’m working more and almost never home, she stays inside all day, she sometimes pees and poops inside when I don’t take her out regularly but she will hold it untill Ill she can’t can’t anymore so I try not to get mad at her. Shes trying her best. She loves when I get home and start playing, wagging her tail, playing her chew toy and chasing me to love her, she sleeps next to me every night
