Story
Meet our sweet boy, a 4-year-old bundle of energy and love! We found him a couple of years ago wandering the street alone, wearing a shock collar. Since then, he’s blossomed into a confident, affectionate, and playful companion who just wants to be part of a loving family. He thrives on attention and has a big personality—he’ll always let you know when he’s ready to play or snuggle. If you're looking for a dog who will be your shadow, keep you smiling, and bring lots of fun into your home, he’s your guy. He does best in a home with a backyard where he can run around and explore. A secure ground-level fence is a must, as he's a bit of an escape artist who loves to dig under fences. With the right setup, he’ll be a happy camper! We love him dearly, but due to changes in our lives, we’re no longer able to give him the time and attention he needs. We're hoping to find him a forever home where he’ll be truly cherished. He’s: 💛 Loyal 🐾 Playful ⚡ Energetic 🎾 Loves the outdoors 🐶 Full

Story
We got Elsa from a neighbor a few doors down. Elsa is a cute, loving girl. She is 2 years old (DOB Jan 2nd 2022). She loves to go an walks and play outside. She definitely loves toys. We just want her to go to a loving home where she can get the time and attention she deserves. If adopted, there is no adoption fee and she comes with her food bowl, water bowl with dispenser, 40lbs food storage container, and I will purchase a bag of dog of your choice so it's an easy transition.

Story
Layla is a really energetic dog, and enjoys running around. She loves chew toys, enjoys scratches, and loves food. I originally got her from the Palm Valley Animal Shelter in Edinburg, TX. Layla will be two years old on May 31st, and was born May 31, 2023. I am a college student and have a very busy schedule, she deserves a home to run around and play, and I unfortunately at the moment, cannot give her that. I am looking for someone who will take in her and let her become apart of a new family. - Makes a perfect guard dog - Energetic - Enjoys playing fetch - Enjoys chewing on dog bones - Very loving and protective Tricks: - Sit - "Give me paw" - Lay down - Turn - Beg Terms she understands: - "No" - Do you want to go outside? - You want to go to the park? - Do you want a bone?

Scrooge was dumped & found him wandering for food & water. He is a true love bug, he loves to snuggle and go for walks. Currently inside he wears a belly band inside but we take him out regularly outside so there haven't been many accidents due to being consistent.

Story
Hello everyone, my wife and I found Lorelai and her daughter Rory, pictured above with her roaming the streets together about 6 months ago. We decided take them in and foster them for as long as we could not know that Lorelai was pregnant and gave birth to 10 puppies shortly after. We have done everything we can for them and have successfully rehomed 8 of the 10 puppies she had. But due to my wife and mine increasingly difficult schedules, she is a full time ER Nurse and I am a police officer, we have not been able to provide the attention we believe Lorelai deserves. She is a senior dog from what I can tell and is the sweetest most well behaved dog anyone could ever ask for. She absolutely loves walks and tummy rubs and has shown no temperament issues. We would love to for her to go to a home that is able to provide her with the love and attention she deserves.
