Story
Meet Thor Introducing Thor, the big and friendly dog with a heart of love! This squishy pup is a great companion for anyone who loves big, playful dogs. Thor is a natural social butterfly and loves spending time with other dogs, making him a great fit for households with multiple pets. He loves being in the house and is quick to make himself at home. Thor is being fostered in a home in Seguin, TX and is available to adopt out of state but needs to be an only dog as a meet and greet is required. Thor is a dog who's always up for an adventure, and he particularly loves car rides. He jumps into the car with ease and settles in for the ride, making him the perfect companion for road trips and outings with the family. With his love for exploration, we recommend a high fence for this big boy. But Thor isn't just about fun and games; he's also a well-trained pup who knows how to sit and walks well on a leash. He's always eager to learn new things and is a quick study. With his love of learning and eagerness to please, Thor is a great candidate for agility training. While in the house, Thor is content in a kennel or just laying on the couch. And let's not forget, Thor loves attention and is a big snuggler. Whether it's curling up on the couch for a movie night or cuddling in bed, Thor loves being close to his humans and soaking up all the love and affection. In short, Thor is a big and friendly dog who's always ready for fun and adventure. If you're looking for a loyal and playful companion who's great with other pets, loves car rides, and enjoys a good snuggle, then Thor is the perfect fit for you!

Story
Petra was used to breed puppies on the most disgusting property we've ever seen. We were allowed to remove her and another rescue removed 2 litters of puppies. Petra had never been on leash, had a collar on or bonded with a human! It took 2 hours of patiently waiting and her alligator rolling all over the trash covered yard to get her in the car. Once I got her secured inside the kennel, I gave her 2 weeks to decompress before I ever reached out to touch her. It paid off in spades! She sat and closed her eyes, drinking the love I was sending her. That night as I sat inside the kennel with her door open, she came and rested her majestic head in my hands. It was the most profound experience I've ever had with a dog. Unfortunately after she was here and eating twice a day, nutritious food, she began to put on weight rapidly. The mobile vet came out and confirmed our worst fear, she was pregnant and heartworm positive! We made the appointment to have her spade. We typically do not have puppies in rescue if we are aware soon enough to get the mother spade. We took her and it was decided she was about 48 hrs from delivering and with her heartworm status and her size, it would be dangerous. We came back and prepared to welcome puppies. Just 4 days later she had 11 beautiful puppies, 7 of which survived and thrived! We knew dad was a solid black Shepard and she had 5 white, like her and 2 black and tan. They are beautiful and all adopted by the time they were 8 wks old and ready to leave mom and siblings. As soon as she was an empty nester we moved forward with treating her heartworms. We chose to use the slow kill method, she received the Pro-Heart 12 injection and 30 days of Doxycycline. She should be free of heartworms by the 6 month mark. She is currently in the middle of her 30 days of Doxy. Petra has the most beautiful soul of any dog I've had the pleasure to spend time with in my 15 years working in animal welfare. She now wears a collar but isn't super comfortable with being on leash. She will get there, I have zero doubts! She is absolutely brilliant and has the sweetest personality. She is the definition of what a Shepard should be! The white Shepherds are more docile and the females are known to be larger than the traditional GSD Petra is a fit 90lbs! Her new home will require someone that is willing to be patient and work with her. I know if I didn't have 15 other dogs to care for we would have already jumped any hurdles she has remaining. She has never lived inside but I know she will quickly understand the benefits!

Story
Don't let the name fool you-Peepaw might sound like a grandpa, but this 2-year-old has enough energy to power a small city! Peepaw is a master of zoomies, a champion at tug-of-war, and the self-appointed mayor of every squeaky toy in sight. If you're looking for a couch potato... well, Peepaw isn't quite there yet! But if you're ready for a daily dose of adventure and an exercise buddy who keeps things very interesting, Peepaw is your guy! Warning: side effects of Peepaw ownership may include laughing too much and discovering new levels of patience. Are you up for the challenge? Peepaw is ready!

Story
Scoobie is a beautiful dog whom we love dearly! However, he is not without his issues. He is very protective and aggressive around new people and animals. He does eventually come around but it takes work! He cannot be off his leash on walks, he is very big and strong and stubborn. But once he’s comfortable with you, he is so loving! We do not have the ability to keep our boy any longer and he isn’t getting the exercise and attention that he needs due to his unpredictable behavior. We have tried for years but it’s proven to be too much for us, unfortunately.. Financially as well as physically. He deserves so much better than what we are able to give him right now.
