Hey there, everyone! I’m Bear, an incredibly smart, loyal, patient, gentle Siberian Husky/Anatolian Shepherd mix fella. My stunning ice-blue eyes, bushy curled tail, and upright “prick” ears indicate my Husky heritage. Yet, although I’m less than half the size of a purebred Anatolian Shepherd, my biscuit color as well as my black eyes and muzzle certainly bespeak that breed somewhere in my bloodlines.

You can tell from my sweet, innocent face that I’ve got quite a soft side. I’m happiest when I’m hanging out with my people, whether it’s lounging at their feet, getting belly rubs, or leisurely walking on quiet streets together. Boy howdy, do I love trips to the farmer’s market, doggie day care, and the dog park where I can really stretch my legs. I’m quite a nimble, playful guy who absolutely loves fetching balls that my foster pawrents throw as well as chewing on my squeaky toys.  

My future foster pawrents found me as I wandered their neighborhood during Hurricane Beryl. They quickly realized how special I am – no ordinary stray – and brought me home. Their due diligence did not result in getting me back home, but they were delighted to discover that I was already housebroken and obeyed a few commands like “sit” and “shake.” I get along great with the two resident Chihuahua females, although we’re like Mutt and Jeffs. True confessions: I’m a little too energetic for the resident cats.  

True to my Husky side, I can be a bit vocal, although I’m much calmer and easy-going than most Huskies. When my foster pawrents leave, I don’t do well in a crate and can be a bit of an escape-artist, but I’m on my best behavior when I’m left free-roaming in my foster home with my canine buddies.

I’d make a devoted, responsive, adaptable and all-around fantastic companion for a family who can keep up with my energy and provide me with lots of love. Could your family become my best forever friends? Arrange to meet me today, and I promise that my mesmerizing blue eyes are sure to catch your attention and enrapture your hearts.

Calliope was abandoned in the parking lot of a Petsmart but fortunately for her, her future foster mom worked at the store and scooped her right up!

This young girl is very sweet and playful, and has energy to spare!  Her foster home has several dogs and Calliope wants to play, er, wrestle, with all of them.  She loves to go on walks, meet new people, play with her stuffed animal toys and snuggle on the couch for movie time.

Calliope knows Sit and Wait, and likes to sleep in her crate at night. She is curious of the cats in her foster home but doesn’t interact with them much. 

Calliope would love a home where she can get lots of attention and exercise, and have a canine brother or sister to play with.  Is that you?

Hey there, everyone! Eva is my name, and “happy play” is my game. I'm an outgoing, affectionate, and friendly white Shih Tzu mix gal who loves to snuggle. Some dogs live to dig holes and chase cats, but Shih Tzus’ idea of fun is sitting in your lap and acting adorable as you watch TV. Imagine yourself with me, looking up to you with my innocent eyes, adorable under-bite, and sweet expression.

Wherever we Shih Tzus go, giggles and mischief follow. Playful and energetic, I'm a lively charmer, and being cute is a way of life for me. I love everyone – kids, cats, and other small dogs -- and just want to be loved back. I'd probably get along great with well-behaved children who know enough to handle small dogs carefully. I’d make a great pet if you live in an apartment or lack a big backyard because we Shih Tzus require minimal exercise.

I was abandoned in my kennel, which was full of my toys, on my Foster Mom’s driveway. Who would do that to a sweet, innocent girl like me unless they couldn’t afford to care for me in the current inflationary financial conditions? Although it hurt me that I wasn’t treated like a member of the family, Foster Mom promises to pick out the perfect home for me from the many applicants who will want me. Since I’m house-trained and kennel-trained, I hope you'll arrange to meet me today. I make friends easily and promise to be a devoted family member if you choose to take me home!

DOB 12/14/24, estimated adult weight ~25-30 lbs.

Hey there, everyone! I'm Hedy (as in Hedy Lamarr), an energetic, playful, and surprisingly cuddly Dachshund/Labrador mix gal with mesmerizing pale green eyes. I’m a real people dog, and, when I’m tuckered out from puppy playtime, I’m happy to fall asleep cradled in my foster pawrents’ arms.

I have an adventurous streak and am a confident explorer. In fact, when I was just hours old, I tried to climb through the wire crate and got my head stuck. (Hence, I was named for “Hedy” Lamarr, which started my foster pawrents’ naming the rest of my litter for vintage movie stars.)

My 15-pound Basenji/Dachshund mix momma Bruni followed my foster pawrents home from a walk; they invited her inside; and several weeks later, she birthed my #movie-star litter in foster care! My long legs, speed while running, and brown coat all indicate that perhaps my dad was a Chocolate Lab. Since he must've been bigger than Bruni, I'll likely weigh about 25-30 pounds when I'm full grown.

What sets me apart from my siblings? Well, I was the first to enjoy walking on a leash. I’m the quickest to run to the door so I can come back inside. I’m an attentive listener and very intelligent, so I’ve already learned a few basic commands like “come” and “sit.” I also know what I want and don’t want to do, so I grumble more than my siblings when I’m made to move when that’s not on my agenda.

Now I’m ready to bring joy and fun into my forever home. If you're a family who will welcome a born adventurer who’s always ready for playtime, I'm the gal for you! Arrange to meet me today! I promise to cover your face with mushy puppy kisses.

So what is a Blue Lacy, you might ask? Why, it’s the State Dog of Texas, of course!  https://www.thesprucepets.com/blue-lacy-breed-profile-4769790

Kip is a fun junky that loves to play with other dogs (sometimes it looks like Wrestlemania), but his second favorite activity is to hang out with his foster mom, chewing on a good bone.  He’s such a goofball, always optimistic, always sure that a treat is hiding in your pocket and it has his name on it!  A sweet potato – yes.   A couch potato – not so much, although when he’s worn out, he does relax and loves to be petted while he snoozes on his dog cot.

Kip has been to obedience school and knows the basics (Sit, Down, Place, Wait).  He also knows how to use the doggy door and stairs, is OK with baths (he splashes around in the pond at the dog park), and looooves to go on walks (and doesn’t pull much).

This boy had a rough first year of his life: abandoned at a large park, found his way to a kennel, was picked up by the City Pound, caught parvo at the pound and wound up on the euthanasia list before his foster mom sprung him! 

Kip’s ideal home environment would have a mom /dad with an active lifestyle, a spunky little canine sister to play and snuggle with, and a nice size backyard to run around and get the zoomies out.  Are you up for it!?

Hey there, everyone! I’m Milo, and I’m a sweet, happy, playful black Labrador/Cattle Dog mix fella with a splash of white on my nose and on my chest. I’ve got the prick ears of a Cattle Dog, but my solid black coat and lanky build indicate my Lab heritage. 

I’m one of the sweetest dogs you could ever meet because I love everyone, and of course, everyone loves me back. Could it be because of the always-innocent expression on my face? One of my favorite things to do is fall asleep on top of Foster Mom. True confessions: I snore a bit! I’m smart as a whip, and because I’m very food-motivated, treats have helped me to pick up a few commands very quickly.

I have lots of puppy energy, so I love to horse around with the resident dogs in my foster home but I also love to go to Doggy Day Care where I get along with everybody!  I’m curious about the cats, but I haven’t been allowed to meet them yet. Thank heavens Foster Mom rescued me as a stray who was wandering her neighborhood with no collar, tags, or chip. Now I’m ready to find my forever home, and I can’t wait! Could that be with you? Arrange to meet me, and I promise to cover your face with mushy puppy kisses.

Hello world, I’m Roux! I’m an affectionate, loyal, and gentle mostly-golden Catahoula Leopard Dog mix gal with a beautiful dappled pattern that decorates the taupe “blanket” on my back. I weighed 30 pounds at 9 months old, so I may weigh 5-10 pounds more when I’m mature. I’m actually the perfect medium size – Goldilocks would say that I’m not too small and yappy, not too large and hulky, but “just right.”

I’ve never met a stranger, and I greet every hooman and every dog whom I meet with a friendly bark and a flurry of tail-wags. I’m bursting with puppy energy, sass, and spunk.  Playtime is my favorite part of the day, especially when I can chase after my big Pittie foster brother.

I’m smart as a whip, so I’ve already learned the “sit” and “down” commands. It helps that I’ve never met a treat that I didn’t like. Whenever Foster Mom has a treat in hand, she has my attention and can teach me anything! I even enjoy road trips and relax quietly until I can discover the adventures waiting for me when we arrive at our destination.

My foster mom found me tied to a tree in the neighborhood park. Can you imagine someone abandoning a sweet girl like me? Foster Mom comforted me when she said that this happens to a lot of dogs when their masters have had a financial reversal and can no longer afford to care for their dog companions. I’m not looking back! Instead, I’m dreaming of all the joy and love that I can bring to my forever home. Could that be with you? Arrange to meet me! I promise to cover your face with mushy puppy kisses.

Arf! Arf, everyone! I’m Sammy, a sweet, friendly, quiet, and affectionate white Maltipoo (Maltese/Mini Poodle mix) fella who is, in my humble opinion, the world’s greatest little dog. I think my foster mom agrees because she loves it that I curl up and settle in her lap whenever I can. There are two resident dogs and a cat in my foster home, but I’m much rather interact with beloved Foster Mom than play with them.

I have a comical idiosyncrasy: I like to burrow under anything I can move and get under. You name it – bedcovers, blankets, pillows, throws. Foster Mom thinks it’s adorable that a cute little thing such as I am likes to excavate my own little lair like a mole.

Let me tell you a little about Maltipoos. We’re gentle, social dogs who love people. Our happy, cheerful dispositions are guaranteed to boost your mood and make you smile. We can even be good therapy dogs because of the comfort we provide. And I’m no exception to this profile!

I really looked like a mess when my foster mom first rescued me! Oh my goodness – I weighed only 10 pounds! You could see every bone on my vertebrae, plus I had no hair on my back. My eyes were practically glued shut with “goop” from an infection; I also had an ear infection; and my mouth was a mess from neglected preventative dentistry.

Thank heavens Foster Mom and the vet have transformed me into a new man! With a steady diet of nutritious food, I’ve gained 2.5 pounds, I’m filling out nicely, and my fur is growing back! I’m eating a soft diet that’s appropriate after all of the diseased teeth (that hadn’t already fallen out) have been pulled. I look and feel so much better! And the silver lining about having no teeth is that I don't need any future dental cleanings!

Medications have cleared up my original eye and ear infections. The vet also diagnosed that I have a condition called “dry eye,” which means that I don’t produce tears like I should. So Foster Mom puts drops in my eyes twice a day and cleans out any “goop” once to twice a day Thanks to the hair around my eyes being clipped, Foster Mom can clean out my eyes easier. I have cataracts in both eyes so I have very limited visibility and bump into things, but get around once I've learned my way! I generally move slow so I don’t hurt myself !

Even though I sleep a good portion of the day, I am quite aware of sounds and scents. I will sound the alarm at unfamiliar noises. I will track Foster Mom down if she has moved from where I left her using my superior olfactory senses.

My ideal home would be one that has a doggie door to a small fenced back yard and someone to keep me company.  I’m so grateful for all the love and attention that I’m getting! In return, I snuggle and cuddle like you wouldn’t believe! I’ve learned how to use the doggie door, and I’m now crate-trained.

If you’re looking for a cozy lap dog and can look past my limitations, I’d really like to be your dog! Half of my life is still ahead of me, so let’s spend it together! My heart has so much love to give, all that’s missing is YOU!

Hey there, everyone! I’m Xena, a sweet, incredibly friendly, spirited Siberian Husky mix gal whose heart is as big as my beautiful blue eyes. Due to my congenial nature, I love making new friends, whether they’re hooman or other dogs. I’m always up for an adventure – whether it’s a hike, a run, or just a fun day at the park. When the day is done, though, I’m an affectionate gal who just wants to relax and cuddle with Foster Mom. Since I’m quite smart and eager to please, she’s had a joy training me.

It’s hard to believe that I was hanging out as a stray with no collar, tags, or chip outside of a game shop. Who would not tear the neighborhood apart searching for me -- unless I was abandoned because my owner couldn’t afford to keep me as their pet anymore? Ah well, I’m not looking back! I was making a homeless man very agitated because the game store was "his territory." Thank heavens Foster Mom brought me home to foster me when she was alerted to my situation, and she promises to find me the fantastic forever home that I deserve the second time around.

If you’re looking for a loyal, lovable, playful, and energetic companion for your active lifestyle, I’m ready to be your new best friend. Arrange to meet me today. I think you’ll find not only that am I stunningly beautiful eye candy, but also that spending time with me will a complete joy to your heart.
