Story
Lizzie came into my life about 5 years ago. I adopted her from the city of Fort Worth around Christmas time. Such a sweet and happy dog who had no issues in adjusting to my home. She is house trained, well mannered, and a great companion on any giving day. She was an amazing addition to my home and due to me relocating I am unable to keep her. She deserves the time and love of a human friend or family. This breaks my heart but I don’t want to just leave her at a pound. I hope to find someone who would treat her just as well as I did and share a home with her

Story
*BELLA* / Age: 2-3 years. -Affectionate and loving; cuddlebug -Playful and can be rambunctious so she will need some training/guidance -Would do best in a home without young children Meet Bella, the 3-year-old Pitbull with a big heart and an even bigger capacity for love. Bella may be larger in size, but it's her gentle and affectionate nature that truly stands out. All she wants is a soft place to lay her head at night and a family to call her own. Bella has been at the rescue for too long now, and she's starting to feel the effects of shelter life. She's eager to find a loving home where she can let her true personality shine. With a medium activity level, Bella is the perfect mix of playful and laid-back. One of Bella's favorite activities is playing tug of war. She's always up for a good game and will bring boundless energy and joy to every play session. Afterward, she'll happily curl up next to you, content and grateful for the companionship. If you're looking for a loyal, loving companion with a heart as big as her playful spirit, Bella is the perfect match. Come meet this sweet girl and give her the chance to show you just how much love and happiness she can bring into your life. With Bella, you'll find a forever friend who will cherish every moment with you. Bella would do best in a home without kids so that her boundaries are respected. She is lovable and friendly with the best intentions, but as all rescue dogs go, she will need intentional care and affection from her new forever family. Consider giving Bella her second chance. Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, up-to-date on vaccines, deworming, heartworm tested, a supply of heartworm preventative, and microchip.

Story
*GORDO, the Gentle Giant* / 3 yrs old, male pittie mix -so sweet, loving, and loyal -very smart, check out his obstacle-course video! -ideal home is one without other dogs or young children Gordo is a 3-year-old pittie and gets overlooked by so many. He’s been with us for quite some time, and he is just the handsomest, sweetest boy who deserves a home like all of his buddies he watches walk out our door. We asked our volunteers what their fav thing about Gordo is: "That little blockhead has a funny high-pitch squeal when he’s worked up. It doesn’t match his body at all. When I go in his kennel, he grabs my leash and runs around with it because he knows he’s going for a walk. Once I get his collar on him, he’ll drop the leash. When you bring him back to his kennel, the first thing he does is flop like a seal in his pool." He’s our water-loving, nature boy who deserves the world!! Gordo has the biggest heart and the sweetest soul. He may look strong and sturdy, but he’s truly a gentle giant who just wants to find someone to love. Gordo can be a bit shy when meeting new people, but with a little patience and time, he warms up and shows his true, loving personality. Once he trusts you, he’s all in—loyal, affectionate, and ready to be your best friend for life. Pit bulls like Gordo are known for their deep bonds with their humans, their playful nature, and their incredible loyalty. Gordo is no exception. He loves a good walk, but his favorite thing is playing with his toys and relaxing by your side - soaking up all the love he can get. Gordo has been waiting for someone who will give him the chance to show just how sweet and gentle he is. He deserves a forever home where he can feel safe, loved, and understood. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will always have your back, Gordo is the one. Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, up-to-date on vaccines, deworming, heartworm tested, a supply of heartworm preventative, and microchip.

Hi, I’m Silas! 👋🐶 I’m a 2-3 year old pit mix, and let me tell you, I’ve got a heart as big as my paws. Some people call me a gentle giant, and I think that fits just right. I may look a little tough on the outside, but trust me, I’m all about peace and calm on the inside. 🥰 When we go for walks, I promise not to pull. I like to stroll, sniff, and just enjoy being outside with my person. 🌳 I love soaking up those moments—it’s kind of like my zen time. And if you’re into quiet cuddles, I’m your guy! I’m not the type to jump around all over the place; I prefer hanging out and being your loyal companion. I get along great with people, and I’ve got a laid-back vibe that makes it easy to just relax together. If you’re looking for a buddy who’s all about peaceful moments and quiet strength, I’m here, ready to be your new best friend. Come meet me, and let’s see if we’re a match!

Story
Hey friends, I’m Rosie! It’s been quite a journey for me. About a year ago, my owner passed and could no longer take care of me. I was expecting a litter of pups and had them before the kind folks at Second Chance Dog Rescue stepped in to help. They brought us in when my pups were about 4 months old. Now, I’m ready for a new chapter, and what I want more than anything is a stable, loving home of my own. I’ll be honest—I can be a bit dog-selective. I’ve got a big personality, and I live just as hard as I play! But once I love you, I love you with my whole heart. I’m beyond ready to find that special person who’ll see the goofy, fun-loving side of me and give me a place to finally feel safe and loved. Could you be the one to make my dream of a forever family come true?

Meet Kitty: A Survivor with a Heart of Gold Kitty is a 1-year-old bundle of joy and resilience. Found on a local highway after being hit by a car, Kitty came to us with a fractured back and a broken toe. Thanks to the tireless care of our director, Kitty has made a full recovery and is ready for her forever family! Despite her tough start in life, Kitty is the sweetest girl you’ll ever meet. Her capacity for love is as boundless as her energy. She’s a fun-loving pup with a true zest for life. Kitty thrives in the company of people and dogs alike, making her the perfect addition to an active, patient, and loving family. A Few Things to Know About Kitty: • House-trained: Kitty is fully potty trained and has excellent manners in the house. • Health & Wellness: She’s up-to-date on all her vaccines, microchipped, heartworm-negative, and on both heartworm and flea/tick prevention. • Dog-Friendly: She adores other dogs and would love a medium to large-sized playmate who enjoys her spirited antics. (She’s a little too enthusiastic for smaller or overly sensitive dogs!) • Cat-Friendly: Kitty is good with cats, though her affection can be a bit overwhelming for them at times. • Leash Skills: She walks well on a leash and enjoys exploring the world by your side. • Cuddle Bug: She’s happiest snuggled up with her foster at night—though her new family might prefer she sleeps in her own bed. Kitty would do best in a home with an active family who can embrace her puppy energy and her love for playtime. A canine companion who doesn’t mind her playful antics would be ideal, and she’d thrive in a household filled with joy, patience, and lots of love. If you’re looking for a furry family member to bring love and laughter to your home, don’t wait—Kitty is hoping to find her forever family in time for the holidays!

Meet Payton! Payton is the perfect package. At 5 yrs young she is as flexible as can be. She fits into a pack as perfectly as being an only dog. She is amazing with dogs and kids of all ages and sizes. She is crate trained though trustworthy enough not to need it. Doggie door expert and house trained. She sleeps through the night in crate or by your side. She is happy to sunbathe by herself outside or cuddle indoors next to you. She loves to go for rides with you and handles long road trips as perfectly as short outings. Payton is just a happy girl with an underbite that melts your heart, wiggle butt that makes you laugh and a heart of pure gold.To set up a meet and greet or inquire about a dog, please first fill out an application at https://savinghoperescue.org/adopt It doesn`t obligate you, but it is the first step.

Story
Meet Evander! Evander is a handsome 2 year old, 50-pound hunk who is ready for his forever home! It is unclear exactly what his past was like before being rescued by Saving Hope, but we can imagine it was not great. He was part of a massive rescue effort near the border in Eagle Pass, TX in early 2024 were 100’s of dogs had been abandoned. He was very fearful initially but has realized he’s safe and has blossomed into a spunky, curious, and cuddly boy.Given his rough start to life, he is understandably fearful of new people and places. He is used to running and hiding when afraid, and may express his fear or unease by growling, but it is fear, not aggression. Evander has done well exploring and navigating obstacles at Home Depot and other dog friendly places that aren’t overly crowded. He prefers to approach new people and sniff them before receiving pets. He caught on to potty training very quickly! Though he does not mean to cause trouble, he is still a puppy by nature. He is very curious and when he finds something interesting he might carry it around and take a bite or 2 but is learning “drop” and “leave it”. Evander happily takes a chew toy instead when redirected.Evander is a velcro baby and is happiest with his person close by – snuggles on the couch are his preferred activity after a little play time. He has not shown any resource guarding behaviors to his foster siblings and is just happy to be part of the pack – he has become very close to his pit bull foster sister and loves to roughhouse with her. He has been working hard on learning how to respect other dogs’ space when they are not in a cuddly or playful mood. He knows to wait at his “place” for his meals, and knows his crate is his safe place. He sleeps quietly in it at night and during the day while his human is at work. He is very treat-motivated and learns quickly from watching other dogs, and occasionally shows his stubborn boxer side but with consistency he learns the expected behavior. With a slow introduction to new dogs, he will adjust quickly and thrive!Evander loves to move, and this has helped him gain confidence! He is learning to allow his human to lead on a leash and gets a walk/run most mornings before spending several hours waiting for his foster mom to get home from work. He would LOVE more company during the day while he lazes around. While he is used to having a yard to run around, as long as he gets time to move every day he could adjust to
