Story
Like her Star Wars namesake Rey is strong and a fighter having survived parvo when she was about 8 weeks old. Rey is thriving now at Flying B. She is independent and quieter than her siblings, preferring to observe her surroundings. She took a shine to an older rescue pup and has learned the ways of the cuddle. She is bright and learning all about life and how to be a good dog. Rey would love a home with a yard to roam and she's definitely an explorer during our pack walks.

What a girl Miss Reba is! From the toughest of lives living and having babies in a junkyard, she holds no hard feelings; just grateful to be loved and knowing that food is abundant. This House Hippo is the most affectionate dog and loves to be very near you. She's weaned her babies but still stays close. She loves a pack walk as long as it's not too strenuous Reba would love to be an indoor/outdoor dog so that she can stay close to you when you're home.

Ennis, TX
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Bucko the Boxer mix is just a gentle soul looking for a place to call his own where he will be cherished and loved for the best friend that he is. He is a real ladies man but loves attention from anyone who will give him a butt scratch. Bucko has earned a spot as an official member of our Welcome Wagon since is so dog neutral and has a very calm demeanor. Great on a leash, current on shots, great with other dogs, crate trained, perfect gentlemen in the house, interested in cats but easily redirected. This boy is the total package. Bucko’s Story: Bucko is baaaack! Bucko got his freedom ride on 1/21/2025. We first met Bucko in August 2024 when caring citizens reported an injured dog. We took Bucko to the vet to have him fixed up but unfortunately the owner would not surrender him to our care. Fast forward to today when another caring citizen called animal control to pick up a dog that was chained up behind an abandoned house. His microchip led him straight to us.

Geri

Basset Hound Labrador Retriever

Female, 6 mos
Ennis, TX
Size
(when grown) -
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Geri is 100% much puppy when she's around other puppies - they get pretty rowdy together but after play time. But Geri prefers to snuggle and cuddle with you. She enthusiastically LOVES people and we’re working on boundaries because she wants to sit in your lap and we know not all people love that. Geri gets better every day on her leash skills. When she is alone, she is a bit insecure so we are doing a lot of public socialization and confidence building. Geri is a crate trained pro and is housebroken.

Story
If Fozzie Bear was a dog….. Meet Bette. This energizer bunny is all tomboy! Bette loves to wrestle with her best friends but isn’t too rough with smaller dogs. She’s been a good influence on her companions teaching them the ways of the magical doggy door. Bette would love a home with a large yard to romp and play in.
