Story
This girl is full of love, life, and joy. Ping’s journey hasn’t been the easiest. Found as a stray as a young pup, she was quickly adopted and grew up in a home where she was deeply loved. Life changes have brought Ping back to us, and she’s once again looking for a family to love. This lively, affectionate girl is happiest when she’s with her people, chasing toys or running around with friends at the dog park. She’s wonderfully social with other dogs and gentle with little humans she’s met. If you’re looking for a dog who will love you with her whole heart and remind you how bright life can be, come meet Ping. She’s ready to be someone’s best friend all over again! Ping's former extended family shares, "Ping is such an affectionate and playful dog. She is so smart. She learns quickly and has so much potential. Targeting the behavior you want to see more of and rewarding with a treat or praise is so effective."

Buddy is a strong, athletic young guy with a cute curly tail who loves getting out to explore his surroundings! He doesn't seem interested in toys or playing fetch, but he might be able to learn that if it is something that you enjoy! He could be the perfect jogging partner, or even a fantastic hiking partner as he loves to explore new places! He would love to have an active family who can offer him physical activity along with love and lots of attention! Come meet this dog!

Story
In Greek mythology, Hercules is a powerful hero. Guess I'm powerful as I can be admired for outstanding achievements like loving to play with dogs of all sizes and children, too. I'm a smart, young, big boy who can be shy at first but warms up quickly. Just a happy fellow who loves to be active and prefers being outside whether going on walks or runs, and playing in water is my favorite thing. If you're active and would like a pup that's the same, I'm your guy. Come meet me and maybe we can start the New Year out right.

Story
Bandit here, checking in for pup duty! I’m a well-mannered senior gentleman looking for a loving home. I grew up with a lifetime of love from my person, but they're no longer with me, and now I’m hoping to find a new family to share my golden years with. I really love car and truck rides, especially with a breeze in my fur and maybe a pup cup along the way. After our drive, a hike is perfect! From the foothills to the Bosque and the park, I love exploring. When I’m not out and about, I enjoy playing with sticks or lounging inside. I know stay, heel, and lay down, and I’m housetrained (though I may need a little time adjusting in a new home). I’m social and gentle with everyone, including kids, and I get along well with other dogs. (Cats, though, are just too tempting to chase.) I thrive on attention and love a good nap afterward. If you’re ready for a loyal, charming companion for rides, walks, and cozy moments, I just might be your guy. Come meet me today! Ruff!

Story
Hello, fair citizens! I'm Robin Hood- yes, that Robin Hood. I may not steal from the rich, but I will absolutely steal your heart. I've got piercing blue eyes, a handsome husky smile, and just enough mischief to keep life exciting. I enjoy long walks where I can dramatically stop to admire literally everything, making new friends, and remind everyone how I'm smart, silly, and always down for a new adventure.... followed by a well earned nap. If your looking for a loyal sidekick, a professional goofball, congrats, you've found your hero!

Story
Frankie is a sweet senior gentleman with plenty of spirit and gumption. He's a little hesitant meeting new people (same here) but has warmed up quickly to everyone he's met so far. He spends his days going back and forth, office to office, with his buddy Sandshrew #84452 getting all the loving he can get away with. He's potty trained, affectionate and an overall sweet, quiet old man with a handsome gray face full of expression. Come visit him at Main Campus today!
