Meet Chance, a survivor with a heart full of love. His story is sadly familiar; he was abandoned in a field to fend for himself. Thankfully, a kind-hearted lady living nearby stepped in to help.

He's house-trained and knows how to sit on command. But most importantly, he's a playful guy who thrives in the company of people. His foster mom does say he can be a bit pesky at times, but who can resist that playful spirit? Chance has a list of favorites that will make you smile. He adores playing tug-o-war and FETCH, and he's excellent at taking treats gently. He's an active pup, so he's looking for a family that enjoys adventures and keeping active. If you're ready to open your heart and home to a dog who's been through a lot and is ready to give his all, then Chance is the one.

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Hey guys, I'm Chook, which means Chicken in Australian! Fancy, amiright? I am a Bully Breed mix with a soft, rich red coat and quirky ears. I'm not very big, maybe 42 pounds. My story is an eventful one, as I was rescued from a situation where a bystander was trying to be helpful, but unfortunately couldn't keep up with the responsibilities of being a private foster pawrent. Thankfully, I met my current foster pawrents though! I'm luckier than a lot of dogs, because they're Dog Trainers! How cool is that?! They've been teaching me all kinds of cool things, like sit, down, or my favorite Place! Oh, and how to respond to directional guidance on the leash. They even said they'd help my new pawrents by offering a few lessons to help with my transition to a new home! I am shy in the beginning, but I'm a rootin, tootin little bullet when I'm comfortable. I love to vocalize and run around like a silly goose in the backyard. I'd do okay in a house with older teens, but absolutely no young children. I have a VERY mouthy play style when I am playing with my humans. I am very very dog social, though I can be a bit pushy at times, but I am easily corrected. Which means I'd love to go to a home with other dogs! I haven't been tested around cats, though. ATTRIBUTES Good with Dogs Active or Relaxed Lifestyle (with proper Mental Enrichment) Comes with some foundation obedience skills (and send home lessons with Fosters) Crate Trained (with a good routine) Older Teen-Adult Home Only Heartworm Positive and Treated Local (Texas) adoption fee is $200 OOS (Transport) adoption fee is $400

I am a super smart and happy boy, I have a super KISSABLE MUG and I have the personality to get you into all kinds of cool places :) I am a big boy, 70# when neutered!!

I do have two injured knees that restrict my heavy duty activities, unfortunately. I am a great walking partner but not for miles and miles :) (Surgery was performed on Mickey's left leg and he rejected the implant, so it was decided not to try the other knee) I cannot wait for my forever family to find and am waiting anxiously for you to APPLY! I am REALLY a GREAT BOY :) Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area, $50 temporary fuel fee will be included)

Zoe is a sweet, old dog who needs the love and support we unfortunately can no longer give her. She just turned 11 years old and cannot go on long walks but loves to be outside and snuggle on the couch. This has been a really hard decision for us but we want her to live out her final years with someone who can give her more attention than we currently are giving her. It is not fair to her. Looking for the perfect home for her to get the love she deserves! Thank you.

Story

Buster will be 5 years old in February. We adopted him when he was a small puppy and have raised him in our busy house ever since. He is super smart and energetic. Very cuddly and after a nice walk will curl up in his bed with you all night. Unfortunately our kids schedules with travel sports has become increasingly busy which means he spends a lot of time in his crate. He does have separation anxiety which can result in him getting into things (garbage, chewing). We are hoping he can find a forever home with someone who can spend a lot of time with him and do all the fun things!
