This queen of Arendelle is ready to "Let It Go" out of the shelter! This sweet shepherd mix isn't a fan of the cold and won't turn your home into an ice castle, but she WILL melt your heart! Elsa is friendly with other dogs and every person she meets. She has done well "out on the town" at adoption events and day trips with volunteers. Elsa is quite the independent lady (which we attribute to her breed) so if you're looking for a dog who doesn't harass you over throwing a ball every time she's outside, Elsa is your girl! This gentle giant is patiently waiting for her new family. Come meet this long-legged lady today!

Meet Thatcher! Thatcher is a sweet 3-yr-old Doberman mix who came in as a very fearful stray but quickly learned to trust and has warmed up nicely to his caretakers! This handsome man is cautious at first, but eagerly seeks out affection. Thatcher even has a unique skill: play ball with himself! We don't know his past, but we know his future involves lots of treats, toys, cuddles, and undying love! Could you be the one to indulge in Thatcher's devotion? Don't miss the chance to adopt this sweet snuggler!

True to her name, Snowball LOVES the cold weather! She experienced her first Galveston snow (like many of us) this past month and absolutely had a ball frolicking in the yard! Snowball isn't a fan of shelter life and longs for the day she can have a yard of her own in which to frolic. As an added bonus, her silky white coat makes her an excellent cuddle buddy! This boisterous lady is a (snow)ball of fun! Come and meet her today!

Female, 3 yrs 6 mos
Galveston, TX
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details

Story
Sky is a 3-year-old, 8-pound Pomeranian with a soft white coat and a gentle spirit. Initially shy, she takes a little time to warm up, but once she does, she is sweet, laid-back, and eager to be part of the family. Every day, she is coming out of her shell a little more, showing her affectionate and loving personality. She is wonderful with kids, other dogs, and cats, making her an easy fit for a calm and patient home. Sky is quiet and reserved, and she needs an adopter who will allow her to blossom at her own pace with time and patience. Sky has luxating patellas, which is common in Pomeranians. They are not causing her any issues and just need to be monitored. She is also carrying a little extra weight and could benefit from losing a pound or so to keep her feeling her best. She is learning to go outside for potty breaks and needs continued practice on a harness and leash. With gentle guidance, she will continue gaining confidence in a loving home. Sky is fully vetted, spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, and on monthly heartworm prevention. Currently fostered in Deer Park, TX Adoption Fee: $650 Apply to adopt at www.tpsrescue.com

Story
Toby is a 12-week-old brindle puffball with a big personality packed into his 8-pound frame, and he’s still growing. He’s expected to reach about 15 pounds as an adult, with enough energy and charm to fill every bit of that. The most animated of his litter, Toby is always in motion. Whether he’s chasing leaves, wrestling a buddy, or showing off his zoomies, this pup is ready for action. He’s high-energy and can be vocal when excited or eager to play, so he’ll do best in a home that can provide plenty of activity and enrichment. A backyard, regular playtime, or other dogs to romp with would be perfect for him. Toby adores kids, gets along well with other dogs, and is unbothered by cats or farm animals. He’s goofy, affectionate, and always looking to be part of whatever is going on around him. Toby has been fully vetted, including his vaccinations, neuter, microchip, and deworming. He’s thriving in his foster home and is ready for continued guidance and training as he grows into the amazing companion he’s destined to be. Currently fostered in Waller, Texas Adoption fee is $850 Apply to adopt at www.tpsrescue.com

Story
Meet Venus! This sweet 4-year-old lady is ready to make herself at home with you! Venus is quiet and reserved in her kennel, but gets the silliest bursts of zoomies in the yard where she then launches herself WWE style into you before running off again. Venus' favorite hobbies include playing ball (by herself - it's really quite cute to watch!) and rolling upside down in grass. Venus is housebroken and has lived in a home before, which makes her all the more dissatisfied with life in a shelter. Adopt Venus and let her fill your life with laughter, energy, and unconditional love!
