Story
Hi there! My name is Yoshi, and I’m a 2-year-old, 57-lb Anatolian Shepherd/German Shepherd mix with a gentle heart and a fluffy coat to match. I am super sweet and affectionate, and I adore people. My absolute favorite things in the world are playing fetch and snuggling up for cuddle time. I’m a big fan of balls, squeaky or crinkly toys, yummy treats, and good bones — basically all the best dog things! I’m a happy, playful boy who loves life and enjoys being close to my humans.I’ve done wonderfully with female dogs. I was also raised alongside a male dog, but we recently started having some issues together, which are most likely related to littermate syndrome. Because of this, I’d do best in a home with only female dogs, or with a meet-and-greet prior to adoption if there is a male dog in the home, just to make sure everyone is comfortable.I prefer to enjoy my meals and bones in my own space away from other dogs— who doesn’t appreciate a little privacy while eating?I’m not a fan of cats (they are just a little bit scary for me!), and car rides make me a bit anxious, but I’m working on my confidence every day. I know several basic commands like sit, lay down, up, off, fetch, and hug (yes, hug!), and I’m crate trained, potty trained, and generally do well on leash — with the occasional curious bark or tug if something exciting catches my eye.I haven’t spent much time around kids in my foster home, but I’d likely do well with older children who can go slow and let me warm up at my own pace.Overall, I’m a loving, loyal boy who’s just looking for a calm, understanding home where I can relax, feel safe, and be his best fluffy self. If you’re searching for a devoted companion who will adore you with his whole heart, I might just be your guy. ##2633171##

This is Toretto, and he is a very energetic, playful, and loving dog. He’s two years old, and never gets tired of playing. I want nothing more than for him to find a loving home with space for him to play as much as he can. *We need an immediate home for him as soon as possible*

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Say hello to our hopeful Miss Birdee Pruitt. This pretty girl landed on the euthanasia list, together with her two siblings, at the shelter in Bastrop TX. (Her name comes from the Sandra Bullock character in "Hope Floats," which was filmed in and around Bastrop.) Thankfully, when we made a post about these pups, our friends Molly and Chris stepped up to pull them to safety and foster them. Our best guess is that Birdee is most likely Anatolian Shepherd mix, but the set of her ears tells us that there may be a non-LGD breed somewhere in her family tree. She has an estimated birthday of 2/4/2024, and since she and her siblings were surrendered to the shelter by their previous family, we think that should be very close to their actual birthday. Birdee weighed about 78 lbs at 1.5 years old, so it's reasonable to guess that she could top out around 85 lbs when she's fully mature. In her first foster home, Birdee was exposed to chickens and sheep, but only in very limited and supervised situations. Since moving to Windsong Ranch, Birdee has split her time pretty evenly between playing with her siblings and staying in the pasture with our Nigerian Dwarf goats. We really don't think she wants to be a working livestock guardian dog, but we think she would make a great addition to a small homestead where she could be a family pet who is not likely to harm the livestock. Birdee LOVES the water and will splash in a kiddy pool or water tub or creek or pond or any other water you put in front of her. Birdee is vaccinated, spayed, and microchipped, so she is ready to find her forever home. If you would like to consider making her part of your family, please complete the online application. PLEASE NOTE: Birdee was on a tie-out ONLY FOR THE PURPOSES OF THESE PHOTOS. It can be really tough to get photos of a puppy who wants to run and play and explore everything. The tie-out limits her movements and makes it easier to use both hands on the phone/camera. Once the photo session was done, Birdee was returned to the puppy play yard.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 15, 2026, 4:51 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Blue is a purebred Anatolian Shepherd who was surrendered to us as a 13 week old puppy. He had been purchased from a farm-based breeder who raises Nigerian Dwarf goats, but the family who purchased him soon realized they weren't cut out for managing a giant puppy who needed more obedience training than they were equipped to provide. We're grateful that they recognized the pup needed a different environment. We put him in the pasture with Rennie to supervise, and he did really well. Our Nigerian Dwarf goats probably made him feel right at home. Blue was adopted while he was still a puppy and spent a couple years living with sheep plus two other LGDs. He was an excellent perimeter guardian, but when in the smaller pen where the sheep spent most of their overnights, Blue would sometimes chew on the ears of the sheep. He had plenty of bones and toys, so it's hard to say why he developed this bad habit. It was disappointing that the other LGDs didn't intervene to tell him to STOP, and it didn't typically happen when the humans were home and could intervene. After trying everything they could think of to resolve the issue, they finally decided he needed to come back to us. We kept Blue in one of our barn kennels (each of which has a 32' long dog run attached) for about a month to let him adapt to this change. Our place was familiar, but it had been a long time since he was here. From the barn kennel/dog run, he could see, hear, and smell our goats and the other LGDs. He could get used to our routine. Then I started letting him out into a small "corral" type area for an hour or so. From there he graduated to being allowed time in the pasture, where once again, Rennie could mentor him and intervene any time he might be inclined to misbehave. But we haven't seen any bad behavior. He likes to check the perimeter and greet the other LGDs. He has tried engaging them in play, but none of the dogs currently working in Rennie's pasture are interested. Blue isn't a pest -- he will walk away if a dog doesn't want to play. He will occasionally try to get close enough to the goats to sniff them, but he seems to view the goats as just part of the landscape, not particularly interesting. During a recent Meet & Greet, Blue met some visitors and showed very good manners. I wouldn't suggest trying to turn him into a couch potato, but I do think he could be content as a combination pet/property guardian. I also think that in the right situation, he could be a good guardian for goats. The "right situation" would include a pasture that's at least one acre and securely fenced, plus one or more LGDs sharing the pasture with him. If Blue sounds like a good fit for your family, please submit your application here.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 7, 2026, 7:05 pm
