Story
SD (Buddy) was found as a stray in poor condition due to neglect. Since being in foster care he has been caught up on vaccinations, dewormed, treated for HW, skin condition due to fleas and neutered. He is ready for his forever home. SD gets along with other dogs at foster care, rides well (politely) in a vehicle, trots along beside the golf cart during morning and evening walks, loves his liver treats, is learning fetch, keeps his kennel clean so he should be easy to house/crate train, he is energetic for short spurts (recovering from HW so needs to stay calm for now). SD is a true love and eagerly awaits his training session, has great focus and learns quickly. He also likes a good dip in water. Though he does show me affection he appears to lean more towards men. If you look into those eyes and think he needs to be the newest member of your family please email godsblessingsbdr@gmail.com for an adoption application. He deserves to be loved and live a good life with proper care. Text SD to 903-922-0156 for more photos.

Story
Up for adoption are Liesel and Lila, a beautiful bonded pair of petite Lab mixes, who are about 12-18 months old, calm, house trained, weigh about 49 lbs. each, are VERY easy to have around and are as sweet as they come...❤...We can tell these girls were someone's pets at some point, because they are very comfortable living in a house...Unfortunately, their short term foster couldn't hold them any longer, so Liesel and Lila had to go into boarding and they are confused...We would like to get them into a home ASAP...These two are good on a leash, love to cuddle with people as much as each other and LOVE children and other dogs...🥰...They have been untested with cats, but because of their lovely dispositions, would probably be fine. If you are interested in adopting Liesel and Lila as a pair and live in the Northeast OR Texas, please fill out an adoption application and we will be in touch promptly...Let's find these girls the home of their dreams ASAP...🙏🙏🙏...Adoption fee for Liesel and Lila is $325 each = $750, with includes complete vetting, medical record, new bed, bones, balls, collars, harnesses, leashes, food for transitioning and transportation. They are currently in foster in Texas.
