Story
We rescued Chico as a puppy from the Humane Society. We are looking for a home for him that can truly integrate him as part of the family. He would make a great indoor pet or outdoors with another pet Reason My husband's medical conditions have not allowed us to have Chico in/out of the home so he has become a primarily outdoor dog without him having a companion or a family that spends more time outdoors. Adjectives that describe your pet: Chico is a handsome sweet boy that has a lot of energy and is extremely playful. Best Qualities He loves to lay on his back and get his belly rubbed and LOVES to eat but understands commands such as sit, wait, and go. He does not bark often which has been a plus since we have had him outside. Commands or Tricks Sit and paw Cute/funny quirks When he meets people he gets on his back to have his belly rubbed. Special toys or treats that they love Anything edible!

Story
My name is Lil Man aka Deuce. Deuce for two since I'm getting a second chance at life after being in the shelter. My foster Dad says I'm living life to the fullest and trying really hard at forgetting my first life. I'm still shy around some people but my foster has been teaching me to be less fearful of strangers. I would love you to help me with slow introductions when I meet new people. People always say how beautiful my brindle coat is. I'm very smart and will sit and speak for my treats, I am learning to play ball and will jump in the air to get it! I'm still working on the bring it back all the time, every time. But I'm working on it! I get along well with other dogs and I'm a great watch dog. I like to make sure my people are safe and taken care of. I love being outside in the sun and playing with my dog foster siblings or other dogs. I love the yard and think being outside is swell. When I come inside I'm a very good boy and don't get on the couch or jump on people. I do like to give little licks and kisses to the people I feel safe with. I have a zest for life and like to go for walks and runs and to play in the river. I'm potty trained and stay out during the day in the sunshine. I always try to ensure the squirrels know I'm the bosss. At night I like to sleep inside with my pals. Whoever adopts me will have to be a little patient and continue working with me on my shyness at times. New things are scary and I need you to show me it's going to be ok. My perfect home would have a nice, fenced yard, and maybe a doggy door so I can go in and out on my own. I'll probably do better with another dog in the household, I really like friends. I would love someone to play fetch with me or take me to the river and swim. I don't mind baths at all either, but I sure don't like cats! I like to keep my food just for me and don't really like to share. I know basic commands and will sit for a treat, or two. I would love to meet you and your resident dog and make some new friends!

Story
Available in TX only! Beasley is an incredibly charming and easygoing dog! His affectionate nature, love for his foster family, and fondness for other dogs make him an ideal companion for an active and loving household. His preference for the outdoors and his independent yet sweet demeanor make him a unique and delightful pet. Beasley's love for giving hugs and his special bond he develops with any dog in his family is heartwarming. His laid-back attitude and preference for relaxed activities, like lounging in the sun or playing with his toys, make him a perfect fit for families or individuals who enjoy a more relaxed pace of life. Potential adopters for Beasley should consider his love for outdoor activities and ensure they can provide him with regular walks, playtime, and maybe even some pool time on hot days. It's also great that Beasley gets along with other dogs, although a meet-and-greet with any potential furry siblings would be a good idea to ensure compatibility. Beasley is new to being in a home and, like many rescue dogs, he might need some time to acclimate to his new surroundings. A patient adopter who is willing to work with him, provide gentle guidance, and shower him with love and understanding will be perfect for him. Patience and a calm approach will go a long way in helping Beasley build trust and feel secure in his new home. With the right environment and a caring adopter, Beasley is sure to blossom into an even more confident and loving companion. Beasley's desire for an even-matched pal and a comfortable bed highlights his simple yet meaningful needs.
