Story
Meet Oreo – Your Perfect-Size Snuggle Buddy Who doesn’t love an Oreo? I’m Oreo, an 11-month-old, 43-pound bully mix from Texas, and I’m just the right size for your heart and your couch. I’m a curious, affectionate pup who loves to watch the world from the window—dogs, people, squirrels, you name it. I’m super food-motivated and eager to please, which makes training a breeze, especially if treats are involved. I may take a second to figure out what you’re asking, but I always try my best to get it right. Physical touch is my love language—I’m a total Velcro dog who needs to be close to my people at all times. I adore snuggles, belly rubs, and go absolutely crazy for butt scratches. I’m playful, goofy, and love curling up next to you (or on you, if you’ll let me). In my foster home, I live with another dog and we get along great. We enjoyed running and playing together at the dog park. I’m fully potty trained and sleep soundly through the night in my crate without any accidents. I’m also good on a leash and enjoy going for walks. I’ve seen children at adoption events and have done well with them, but I don’t currently live with any. I haven’t met any cats yet, so I’m not sure how I’d feel about them. If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal, and cuddly companion who will follow you everywhere and always be ready for snuggles, I might just be the perfect pup for you. I’m a great size and will easily fit in your home, on your lap, or right in the middle of a puppy pile. Could I be the Oreo your life is missing? Our standard adoption fee is $375 cash or check and $385 credit card ($10 processing fee). .

Story
Name: Fletcher Age: 2 years old, 4/4/2023 Weight: 65 lbs Meet Fletcher — Your Lovable Shadow with a Big Heart! Hi, I’m Fletcher, but my friends all call me Bubbas! I’m a 65-pound cuddlebug with a heart just as big as my body. I may take a little time to warm up to new people, but once I do, I’ll be your loyal shadow — always nearby, always leaning in for love (literally…I really like to lean!). I’m fully potty trained and crate trained — though I do appreciate a treat or two to make crate time more appealing. I sleep in my foster’s bed at night and chill in my crate when they’re away. I’m a gentle, affectionate boy who’s a little skittish with loud noises, but I’ll find a safe spot (usually behind you or curled up in my bed) until things settle down. I’ve got a playful side too! I love my toys, though fetch isn’t my strong suit — I’m working on it. I’m not a huge fan of walks (they tire me out fast!), but give me a fenced yard and I’ll happily zoom around with my goofy energy. I walk well on a leash with just a bit of pulling, which I'm continuing to improve. I’ve been great with other dogs, cats, and even small critters in cages. Kids? I’ve met a few, and while I’m not quite sure about them yet (they can be a little loud and unpredictable), I might do well with older, calmer kids who understand I need gentle handling. The perfect home for me would be one that’s laid-back and full of love. I’d thrive with a family who doesn’t mind a constant companion and has a big yard for me to run and play in. If you’re looking for a sweet, goofy, loyal boy to be your sidekick, I might just be the perfect match. Ready to meet your new best friend? I can’t wait to find my forever family!
