Story
Ozzy is about 7 years old, house trained pup. Loves to snuggle in a blanket on the couch with you. He loves to go on a walk. Car rides make him a little nervous but he does his best. He does NOT like cats and is not great with young children. Older children or adult only household would be best! He is a shih tzu mix so grooming is a must. He gets groomed once/twice a month.

Story
Neal is such a sweet guy. He can be shy and reserved. He loves his ‘safe’ space of his kennel but enjoys treats, being petted, and sometimes playing tug-of-war. We adopted Neal several years ago and have watched him grow from a scared youngster (we think he had some bad experiences) to a much more confident teenager. Lately, he has become aggressive with the other dogs (all rescue dogs like Neal). After an incident with our small Chihuahua, we feel that he would be better suited for a couple of single with no other pets and children. He has NOT been aggressive to our children. But we would be remiss if we allowed any small incident to happen. I take Neal with me to work quite often and he has so many friends that love to stop by and pet him. He always has been a great emotional support animal. And has never growled or had any issues with people. We really want Neal to have a loving place where he can run and bark at lawnmowers and weed eaters at his leisure.

Story
Hi there! My name is Sprout and I'm here to steal your heart! I'm an adorable young pup with loads of energy and lots of love to give. If you're looking for a playful, loyal, and silly pup, look no further! I can run and play for hours, but I also love nothing more than curling up on the couch with my favorite humans. I've been described as the ultimate companion - I'm affectionate, friendly, and I love giving kisses! I'm also an excellent listener and I'm always happy to lend an ear. My good manners will make it easy for you to fall in love with me. I'm house broken, crate trained, and I can sit on command. I'll even fetch my favorite toys and bring them right back to you! I love playing tug of war and I'm always up for an adventure. I'm good with other dogs too, so if you have a four-legged friend already, I'll fit right in! Everyone says that I'm the best Doggie they've ever cared for, so if you choose me to be your fur baby, you'll certainly be popular at the dog park! If you're looking for a fun-loving, sweet, and silly companion, apply to adopt me today!

Story
Meet Rhett, the furry fellow with a heart of gold and a playful spirit! This affectionate, athletic, and gentle doggie is a true sweetheart with a fun-loving personality. Rhett is the perfect companion for those seeking a loyal and loving furry friend. At almost two year's old, Rhett is already house-trained and knows all the basics. Doc says because he is neutered and fully vetted, Rhett is healthy & approved to go into a new home as long as it’s the right family for him! He loves nothing more than to run and play outside with his fur-sibling, and he also enjoys taking a leisurely cruise in the car. He's toy and treat motivated, which makes training and bonding with him all the more fun. Rhett is a cuddly couch potato who likes to be close to his humans, whether it's snuggling up in the bed or following you around the house. He's also an independent guy, and he's just as content spending time alone exploring the yard or taking a siesta in the sun. Rhett is a true fan of the good life, appreciating a country setting and scrambled eggs for breakfast. He's an all-around good boy who is great with kids and even tolerates bath time. He does have a soft spot for his human mom and may be a bit pickier about his dad, but he's a sweet and affectionate pup who will warm your heart in no time. If you’re ready to make a life time commitment to loving and caring for Rhett unconditionally; then give us a call or message to set up a meet & greet. We can come to you or your welcome to drive into Victoria, Texas and find out just how amazing he truly is.
