Please try to accommodate the home visit volunteer as most  have busy schedules. Delays in the visit will result in a delay in the adoption.

Gordon Ramsey prefers to be referred to as Gordie. He knows his name and wags his tail and looks around for you when you say his name loudly - and preferably at a higher pitch. Gordie's a 15 lb chihuahua. He is looking for a home that will respect him for the independent guy he is. He shows his love and affection with tongue licks and tail wags. He would prefer if you showed your affection by saying his name and scratching his head. He does not like cuddling. He does not like too much noise or chaos. He especially doesn't like when he doesn't feel in control, and while he really loves humans, they are on average ten times his size, so certainly he feels out of control often. Gordie has recently competed in the Biggest Loser challenge and he reports in that he is 1 lb away from his goal weight. A portion of his food portions were cut back and replaced with vegetables. He has liked all vegetables that he has tried except the green peppers. These were each meticulously licked to ensure that no gravy from his wet food on the pieces of green pepper and left in his bowl. He has offered that all green peppers in the future can be donated to the starving dogs on his behalf. Handicaps: - Gordie’s eyesight is failing him. He has cataracts and some eye inflammation that was treated on a recent visit. This has made an already unsure guy, a bit more unsure. - Gordie has separation anxiety that is well managed with Prozac. His anxiety presents itself as whimpering, low howling and searching for the humans. This has not been exhibited since beginning his Prozac. - Gordie is afraid of going down stairs - and will whimper for help. - Gordie has specific rules about how you can and cannot touch him. Since his eyesight is failing, he prefers to have his name spoken, a hand put out for smelling and then you can pick him up from his side. He does not do well when startled- and will give a warning nip. His definition of startled includes when you fall asleep on the couch with him and he awakes on the couch with you. He votes one star- do not recommend. He may sit with you for a few moments, but he really prefers to have all four of his paws firmly on the ground unless you are providing him elevator service (see above for stairs). - Gordie needs trazadone prior to a vet visit if the vet would like to touch him. While you and I know that doctors do things that seem mean but are to help, Gordie has not learned this. He does not understand why you are poking him and will use all of his forces to have you stop. - Gordie has some environmental allergies that can give him an unproductive cough. However, these have been well controlled in his foster home with an over the counter allergy med, zyrtec and benedryl, as needed. Gordie’s hobbies include: - Napping - as often as possible. - Sunbathing - he really loves it. He even plays “dead” with his tongue out. - Gordie spends much of his awake hours finding the humans. Due to his sight issues, this can result in him getting stuck behind furniture. Gordie was built without a reverse feature - so him turning around is reminiscent of an Austin Powers scene. - Giving grateful, loving kisses to his foster mom. - Tail wagging and dancing at dinner time. He even tried to follow his old lady foster sibling's example and yelling in excitement - but he has since learned that this means you eat last... so he has given it up. Ultimately, Gordie is looking for a home that will accept him as he is. If you follow Gordie's rules on cohabitation, he is a great, loving companion. He should not be in a home with children or another vision challenged dog (he thinks it’s very rude when his blind foster sister bumps into him, when he couldn’t see her coming…). He lives well with vision-gifted dogs.

Meet Flash, an affectionate and playful miniature pinscher mix with a personality as lively as his name. Flash is a rescue dog who has quickly captured hearts with his warm, loving nature. This little guy is always ready to play and spread joy, especially when he's surrounded by people or other dogs. Although Flash enjoys the company of other pups, he would also thrive as the only pet in the household, where he can truly soak up all the attention. Flash is a true family dog and wants nothing more than to be near his people, whether that means lounging around the house or sharing a cozy spot on the couch. One of his sweetest quirks is his habit of giving gentle hugs when held, showing just how affectionate he is with his loved ones. While Flash is still working on his potty training and crate training, he's eager to learn and appreciates positive reinforcement. He's already making great progress and shows promise as a fast learner. When it comes to bedtime, Flash prefers to snuggle up close, either sleeping with his family or in a cozy spot nearby. His loving, gentle presence brings comfort and warmth, making him an ideal companion for someone looking for a loyal and affectionate pet. Flash is looking for a forever home that will embrace his playful spirit and give him the love he deserves-a place where he can truly be himself and bring happiness to everyone around him. Flash is being fostered in a home in Seguin, TX. He is available for out of state adoption (except MA & NH due to quarantine laws). His adoption fee is $300. Transport fee is $250.

Available in TX only! Bolt is a 6-month-old, 16-pound Min Pin mix who recently arrived at our local shelter with his siblings, Thunder and Flash. Bolt is a sweet, playful pup who loves attention and is eager to find a foster home where he can complete his medical vetting. Despite his small size, Bolt is full of energy and curiosity. He enjoys running around, playing with toys, and getting lots of cuddles. Bolt is looking for a foster or foster-to-adopt home where he can continue to grow and thrive while waiting for his forever family. He would love a cozy spot in your home while he finishes his vetting process! Could you be the one to help Bolt on his journey?

My stepdaughter got Rocky and was going to take him with her. However, she later decided she was not going to have time to take care of Rocky and left him with me. I already have a dog and a cat and can’t take care of another dog. Rocky is a 2 year old miniature pinscher that weights 20 lbs. I believe he might be mixed with Manchester terrier but his paper work only says miniature pinscher. Rocky is very sweet and energetic. He has gotten along great with both my dog and cat. He loves to be walked. Rocky will bark when he needs to go outside to do his business.
