Story
Meet Arthur, a spirited two-and-a-half-year-old Rottsky (Rottweiler and Husky mix) from Terrell, TX, who’s a delightful combination of strength, intelligence, and boundless energy. With his sleek black-and-tan coat and strikingly expressive eyes, Arthur is as handsome as he is playful. Arthur is built for adventure. Long walks with plenty of time for sniffing are his absolute favorite, and he’ll gladly join you for an energetic outing, followed by some quiet time with his trusty chew toys. As a highly active and food-motivated companion, Arthur thrives while training. He already knows his basic commands—sit, stay, down, and here—so he’s ready to keep learning with his next family, especially if treats are involved! However, Arthur’s strong prey drive and reactivity to other animals mean he’s looking for a home where he can be the one and only pet. He’ll do best with no other pets and no young children. His ideal match is an active individual or couple who can dedicate time to him.

Meet Fatty! She Is a loving and well-behaved 4-year-old pup looking for a new forever home. She is crate trained, potty trained, and has a calm temperament. Unfortunately, due to changes in our living situation, we are no longer able to provide her with the environment she deserves.

Currently training her, but she is a fast learner. If you’re looking for a loyal and well-mannered pup to add to your family, Fatty could be the perfect match! Please reach out if you’re interested or have any questions. We just want to find her the loving home she deserves.

Story
Maya is a sweet natured Husky/Malamute mix weighing 54 pounds. She loves playing with her foster sibling, is learning basic commands and sleeps in her crate all night without accidents. Chasing a ball is one of her favorite games! She hasn't met a cat yet but if yours is respectful they'd probably become friends! She is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, is HW negative and on preventatives. Her ideal home is one with a doggie friend and where Mom or Dad work from home or part time. Please remember that puppies need a lot of time, patience, positive reinforcement, training and love. If you have that to give and want to meet Maya, please request an application! A fenced yard and vet reference are required. We adopt in the DFW area only (within an hour's drive from Terrell) as we deliver our pets to their new homes.

Story
Violet is a love bug to her people but cautious of others until trust is built. She takes her role as her family's protector very seriously. She is thought to be a German Shepherd and Golden Retriever mix. She was born July 25, 2023, weighs 53 pounds, is fully vaccinated, spayed, microchipped, HW negative and on preventative. She sleeps all night in her crate and is house trained.  Due to Violet's rough start in life she will need a family with patience, allowing her to bond in her own time by giving her love, positive reinforcement and remembering that it's a journey not a race.. Once she gains your trust she's likely to cuddle like a baby with her people, play with her chew toys and will love going on walks. Her ideal home is one where the mom or dad work from home or part time and has a doggie friend to play with. She does okay with respectful cats, but does try to herd anything that moves faster than a walk whether it is other dogs, cats or humans both young and old. She sees any type of fowl as a chew toy so we reccomend a home without pet birds or chickens. A fenced yard and vet reference are required. We adopt in the DFW area only (within a 1 hour's drive from Terrell) as we deliver our pets to their new homes.

Story
Sheryl is a one-year old sweetheart! Our vet suggested her breed as "Cute Little Brown Dog", lol. She weighs 38 pounds, is fully vaccinated, spayed, HW negative and on preventatives. She sleeps all night in her crate and is house trained. Sheryl is a social girl, loves everyone she's met and loves playing with the dogs in her foster home. Chew toys, chasing a ball and going on walks/runs are some of her favorite things. She is, however, a little too interested in cats! In her new home she would love to have a doggy friend to play with and would be happiest if mom or dad work from home or part time. Please remember that puppies need a lot of time, patience, positive reinforcement, training and love. If you have that to give and want to meet Sheryl, please request an application! A fenced yard is and a vet reference are required. We adopt in the DFW area only (within a 1 hour drive from Terrell) as we deliver our pets to their new homes.

Story
Howdy! I'm Duncan, a 2-3 year old good boy full of personality AND good looks! You would never know that I came from an abusive situation living outside where I had a heavy chain around my neck, was starved and abused. My rescuer had to buy me in order to get me to a safe place. Now I'm a bundle of love, always ready to play fetch or go for a walk. My foster mom says I make the funniest faces and am very expressive with trilling noises. I love Chuck-it balls because I can pounce on them with both feet and make them bounce. SO. MUCH. FUN!!! When I'm finished playing I love to snuggle on the couch and get pets until your hands cramp! In my foster home I live with two small dogs and a cat that I have learned the hard way to be respectful of...if you know what I mean! I am neutered, fully vaccinated, HW negative and on preventatives and microchipped! Oh and I've had my teeth cleaned too. I've also mastered crate and house training and I'm in an obedience class so I can be the bestest boy for my forever family! We adopt in the DFW area only (within one hour's drive from Terrell) as we deliver our pets to their new homes. A fenced yard and vet reference are required.
