Story
Meet Bluebell! Breed: Australian KelpieGender: FemaleAge: [AGE]Size: Small/Medium ([WEIGHT])Good with: Families, best as an only dog Bluebell is a success story in the making! This Australian Kelpie came to us extremely obese, but she's been absolutely crushing her diet journey and is now trim as ever. She's proof that with the right support and structure, amazing transformations are possible. We're so proud of how far she's come! Fair warning: Bluebell has medical needs and will likely require medication for the rest of her life. This isn't a deal-breaker—it just means she needs a committed owner who can stay on top of her healthcare routine. In return, you get a happy-go-lucky girl who loves play and, let's be honest, clearly LOVES snacks (hence the whole diet situation). She's food-motivated in the best possible way, which makes training a breeze! Bluebell would do best as an only dog where she can be the star of the show without having to share resources or attention. She'd do well in a family setting where she can soak up all the love from multiple people. She's playful and enjoys her fun time, but she's not going to run you ragged—she's more about balanced activity than nonstop energy. If you're looking for a companion with a success story behind her, can commit to her medical care, and don't mind a dog who thinks snack time is the best time, Bluebell is ready to bring joy and affection into your home as your one and only furry family member! Ready to welcome Bluebell into your life? Contact us to meet this wonderful girl! Disclaimer: The information in this profile reflects observations made while this dog has been in our shelter environment. We strive to describe each dog as accurately as possible; however, behavior and needs may change once the dog is in a new home, routine, or environment. Our dogs are not freeroaming in homes. When we note that a dog is "potty trained," this refers to reliable crate training, not confirmed freeroam house training. Accidents may occur during the transition to a new home, and additional training should be expected. All dogs are examined by our veterinarian, are spayed or neutered if old enough, and are up to date on ageappropriate vaccinations at the time of adoption. We share all known medical information, but we cannot guarantee future health or rule out underlying conditions. ALL adoptions require a completed application, vet check, and final contract. The application to adopt can be found at www.happyfacespetranch.org Once your application has been approved, a representative will be in touch to set up a meet and greet. We select the best applicant for each dog based on the dog's individual needs. ##2464115##

Story
Hi, I’m Buttercup 🌼 I’m a beautiful medium-sized mixed breed girl with a very gentle heart. Life hasn’t always been easy for me, so I’m what they call a “true rescue.” Because of that, I may need a little extra time to feel safe—but I promise I’m worth the patience. I love other dogs and it would be great if you had a friend for me. Once I begin to trust you, you’ll see just how sweet and loving I really am. I have a calm, tender nature and I enjoy quiet moments, soft voices, and kind hands. I get along well with other friendly, respectful dogs, and having a canine companion can help me feel more comfortable. What I’m dreaming of most is a loving, caring, and patient home—someone who understands that the best relationships take time to grow. If you’re willing to go slow with me and let me come out of my shell at my own pace, I know I can blossom into the loyal, devoted companion you’ve been looking for. With love, Buttercup 💛

Story
2 yr old tricolor M/N Kelpie/GSD mix Looking for a dogs dog?? Gunner is your guy! He was comfortable enough around me, allowed touch, took treats, interacted some with me, but he really really wanted to play with the big dog in the next yard. He wasn't aloof though! Took treats gently, eager to please and loved being called a good boi, it was a fun yard time for both us us He does seem to be feeling the stress from the shelter, some have had some trouble getting him out of his kennel but he was perfectly behaved for me. This is an active breed, he will need consistent physical and mental exercise to be happy, it is likely what is causing his current stress and occasional barrier reactivity. It is worth noting that he was a very loud bork monster when I first approached his kennel but after 3 treats he was ready to follow me anywhere I was going Knows how to sit, walks well on the leash (just a tiny bit of pulling) and seemed potty trained!! ##2528145##

Story
Lily is an 18 month old Collie / Australian Cattle Dog mix who loves learning with her person! At just 41 lbs, she is agile, fine boned, and petite with velvety-soft short fur and the sweetest eyes. Lily would prefer a home without cats and small animals. She would like to be the only object of her person’s affection, or have a dog friend who is bigger than her and doesn’t mind some rough-and-tumble play at times. She likes to rule the roost, but will accept redirection from dogs who are larger than her. Lily loves to sit in your lap, but won’t smother you with kisses. She just wants to be close to you. Since Lily is 50% Cattle Dog, she is very intelligent but also cautious of new situations, choosing to observe and settle in with her person rather than burst into the room with gusto. She is enrolled with AKC Canine Partners which means she can use her excellent brain to compete in a variety of AKC events. She has even already started Scent Work training! Lily is so smart, she knows how to open some gates and wire crates to let her friends out to play with her, or get the remaining tidbits of food they left over. A simple clip keeps that from happening. Lily is crate trained, but instead sleeps in a doggie-safe room at night and while unsupervised. She walks well on a leash and sticks close to her person. She prefers treats over toys (especially those with stuffing…she operates on them quite quickly!) and is very food motivated. Her current family will help make the transition successful and give you tips on keeping Lily’s mind sharp and engaged. Ready for a loving companion who will watch a movie with you, but also get you off your feet to train and play? Apply to adopt Lily at houstoncollierescue.org.

Story
Meet Jingle! 🐾 Jingle is a sweet young (appx 2 years old) Collie mix girl with a gentle soul and a heart full of love. She’s spayed, up-to-date on her vet care, and currently living in a foster home with 5 other playful pups, two cats, and a young child. Jingle gets along well with other dogs, but she’d also be happy as the only pup in a quieter home or with a small, calm pack—large or loud environments can be a bit much for her. A peaceful home where someone is around most of the day would be her dream! She thrives with calm, patient people who understand that trust takes time, especially with men, but once you earn her love, she’s incredibly loyal and affectionate. She’s curious about cats—she might give chase, but it’s all in play, not aggression. Jingle loves being home with her people most of all, and she's happiest when she's included in the daily rhythm of life. This clever girl is crate trained, doing great with her leash manners, and she loves agility activities in the backyard! With a little encouragement, she could shine in agility sports. She’s also a top-notch package alert system—she takes her job as home protector seriously (but not aggressively!). A few quirks to know about Jingle: • She can get car sick if riding in a crate, but does fine buckled into a seat. • She’s an occasional escape artist—a fully fenced yard is a must, and a GPS tracker on her collar would be a smart addition. • Her recall needs work, so leash walks and secure outdoor time are key. • She recently started anxiety medication, and it's helped her tremendously. A calm home may alleviate the need for medication. If you’re looking for a loyal, smart, and loving companion who just needs a little patience and a calm environment to thrive, Jingle might be your perfect match. 🐶💕 📍Apply to adopt Jingle: www.houstoncollierescue.org
