Story
Meet Max Lee!🐾 Max is a one-year-old schnauzer/terrier mix weighing about 9 pounds, and he’s as sweet as they come! This little guy has never met a stranger — he’s friendly with everyone he meets and just wants to be your best friend. Max loves attention, cuddles, and playtime in equal measure. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs and would be thrilled to have a playful fur sibling to romp around with. Max is also great with children and would make a wonderful addition to any family. Mealtime is his favorite part of the day (he’ll make sure you know when it’s dinner time!), and he’s mostly potty trained. He does well using pads if one is left out — though fair warning, he also thinks they make great toys if they’re not stuck down! Speaking of toys, Max is a little dog with a big love for play. His new family should be “toy rich,” because he can really put them to the test! When it’s time to wind down, Max sleeps beautifully in his kennel without making a peep — as long as he knows his people are close by. If you’re looking for a happy, affectionate, and playful pup who will fill your home with love and laughter, Max is your guy. 💛 Local adoption fee is $350 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $650 ( includes transport to your area)

Story
Meet Pioneer! Pioneer is a sweet, affectionate boy who loves being close to his people. He’s happiest curled up beside his human, snuggling into blankets, or making himself comfortable on a cozy bed. He enjoys getting outside and is great at letting you know when he needs a potty break, which makes him an easy companion at home. In foster, Pioneer has shown himself to be a gentle, well-behaved dog who prefers a calm environment where he can relax and focus on his person. He enjoys soft, stuffed toys and gentle play, and he settles nicely once placed in his crate. With his loving personality and excellent house manners, Pioneer will make a wonderful, devoted companion!
