Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Fiona found herself unwanted in a high kill shelter in West Texas. She is good with dogs and kids, cats are a toy to chase and eat, so no cats for this gal.   All dogs and puppies require supervision and training.   This smiley girl is Fiona. She is such a joy to foster and would make the perfect addition to any family. Fiona’s three favorite things are people, couches and cars. She loves all people, and is patient with kids. She shows her love by covering you with slobbery kisses. Showing off toys to her people and playing tug-o-war with them is fun. She does resource guard toys and treats from other dogs, so when playing together they need to be removed and the interactions need to be watched. While she is fine with other dogs, including at her foster home and she played well with other dogs while in boarding, being the only dog in the house would be the most ideal situation. No cats please. Fiona thinks couches are the best place to snuggle with her people, and sleep away the day. She will patiently wait for you to join her on the couch, and will stare you down with her adorable face as a way to communicate it is time to sit down. A bonus is she is not interested in human food and will not try to share snacks with you while on the couch. Wish my resident dogs would take note that this is appropriate behavior! She also loves a car ride. While she does well on walks she will approach any parked car and would happily jump in. A previous foster drove for Uber and Fiona accompanied them for a ride checking off her daily to do list of a car ride and interacting with as many people as possible. During the day she is left unsupervised while I work in a different part of the home. She does not get into anything she is not supposed to, and spends a great deal of time sleeping. She is house broken and kennel trained.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.This is Balto, one of Lulu's 10 puppies that were all saved from a SD Reservation. All dogs and puppies require supervision and training. Balto was adopted as a puppy and returned as an adult due to family changes.  Hi I'm Balto and I am looking for my forever home. I'm from a litter of 10 puppies and we all found our forever homes until mine didn't have time for a 'dog' anymore. So I ended up back at the rescue where I started. I'm in a foster home now and lucky to be with one of my sisters from my litter and I have a foster brother who is a Chihuahua mix and a foster sister who is younger and I ler her think she is the boss. I get along with all of them and love playing with my sisters but I am selective with all the animals in the home at times, so I would need to be an only pet in the home so I can have all of your attention. I can socialize outside the home with other dogs, I just don't like to share when I'm in my own place. I do love going to the dog park with all my friends. I have lots of puppy energy so I need a family that will help me learn and grow. I do know your basic commands sit, stay, lay, shake, down and no. I like playing with toys, stuffies, chew bones, balls playing tug with my sister & fetch with my foster parents. I do destroy stuffies so we might want to wait on them until I'm older or if you don't mind picking up my mess I can have them.  I love playing outside with my sisters (fenced in yard) and going for walks with the whole family. I have lots of energy to burn so I need to stay busy so I don't do any naughty things when I'm bored. (Chew toys are a must) I take naps after a good play or walk and I love to snuggle with my human and sometimes I think I'm a lap dog. I'm a good eater, drink lots of water and treats are good too but make me work for them so I don't forget my training. My foster parents tell me I'm a good boy when getting my treats & boy do I like that. I also like to relax and just sit in the yard / deck and watch the squirrels and birds. I'm okay by myself but would prefer my human to relax with me(snuggles). I also love to hold your hand with my paw when we're just chilling. I do great in the car and love going for rides and watching out the window. I'm good with meeting new people, I love the attention and I sit for kids and let them give me all the pets and belly rubs they want. When we go for our walks I do good when passing other people and dogs unless they want to meet me, then I sit and get all the pets I can. When at home I do get jealous if my foster brother or sister are getting attention so I like to push my way in and get the attention for myself I'm working on that. I'm also working on sharing toys and chew bones with my foster siblings, I like to have them all to myself but my foster parents tell me I am getting better at sharing them, I just need to be reminded at times. I'm still a young boy learning. We have cats in my foster home but I don't know how to react/play with them, I  just get so excited that I scare them; so at this time I cannot be around the cats. My foster parents think when I'm older I could maybe have a cat sibling. So at this time I am good with kids, a fenced in yard and no dogs in the home (play dates are fine) and no cats. So if you think you are my forever home and family and will continue to work with me let's meet. I'm ready for my forever family.  Balto is fully potty trained and will go to the door and bark/whine when he needs to go out. He also sleeps through the night anywhere from 8-12 hours depending on how much exercise he had the day before. He loves to sleep with his humans but will sleep on the floor, couch or dog bed if preferred.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Sarah (fka Caziel) was an owner surrender that was formerly a stray and taken to a high kill shelter in West Texas. She was surrendered due to being adopted from their and owner moving.  She is good with other dogs and older kids, young children and cats are unknown.   She is a high energy girl that would likely be a great running partner.  Her left eye is enlarged due to a deformity but the vet says there are no concerns and she even has some siight with it.  All dogs and puppies require supervision and training. Sarah is a sweet dog with a heart of gold! She is a very loving girl whose whole body wiggles with excitement when her foster parents come home. She can be a bull in a china shop- she loves to run around and play rough with her foster siblings. Sarah can be the only dog in the home, or with other dogs who like to run and chase each other. She may be too much for older dogs who like to nap most of the day. Sarah has not been around cats or young children. She does well with both men and women and absolutely loves to give kisses! She will lay in your lap and lick your face all day if you let her! She will also share your pillow with you while you’re sleeping- she is definitely a velcro dog! Sarah will lay right on top of you if you let her. Sarah requires slow introductions to other dogs. She is not a good dog park or brewery dog candidate. Her foster mom keeps her on a leash for almost a full day when she brings new dogs into the home. Sarah loves other dogs, but she is very unsure of why new dogs are in “her space.” After about a day, she is great with other dogs and loves to run and play with them. But at first, she is very unsure and lashes out at the other dog. She is a good guard dog and will let you know when your Amazon package arrives! She does not resource guard food or toys with humans or other dogs. Sarah walks great on a leash and enjoys daily walks. She can be dog reactive on the leash, but only if the other dog is reactive. If a dog walking by ignores her, she will ignore them back. If the other dog starts pulling and/or barking, Sarah will do it back. Therefore, her foster mom walks her in less busy areas to set her up for success. If you’re looking for a sweet dog to add to your home, please consider Sarah!  Please put in your application on our website mattysheartandsoulanimalrescue.rescuegroups.org.      Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 5, 2024, 9:49 am
