Story
Meet Vienna, a lively Basenji and Feist mix puppy with a heart full of joy. This sweet, friendly, and playful little girl is always ready to play or go for walks! She wears a medium coat of brown and white, and, at just 9 months old and weighing 26 pounds, Vienna is full of energy, but she also loves her downtime, often seeking out a friendly lap for a cuddle. Her goofy nature is sure to bring laughter and light into any home! But don't let her playful demeanor fool you, Vienna is also very smart and eager to learn new tricks. Adopting Vienna means welcoming a bundle of love and happiness into your life. She's not just a pet, she's a companion who will offer unconditional love and loyalty. Give Vienna a chance, and she will fill your home with joy, laughter, and endless puppy kisses!

Story
Hello there, I'm Furgus, your potential partner in crime! I have a knack for exploration and once, I mistook the neighbor's vegetable garden for a treasure trove. Oh, the ruckus! I ended up at the shelter after that, but it was a hilarious journey. I'm a pro at finding hidden goodies, be it under the sofa or in the park. My curiosity is my charm, and I promise to keep you entertained with my antics. If you're looking for a fun-loving, adventurous companion, look no further. Adopt me and let's start our adventure together!

Story
Hi, I’m Chai. I was minding my own business running around the neighborhood until I came across this one house that had all the good treats. Suddenly this lady said something about rescuing me because there was a freeze coming and I didn’t trust her at first, I was so scared. I decided to play hard to get, it took her like 5 days to gain my trust. Finally I decided it was time to see what she had to offer. Now I’m having the time of my life. I have fur brothers and sisters that keep me company, I even have a human sister that’s just a baby. I’m so gentle with her and my foster mom says I’m a natural around infants. I spend my days sleeping on the couch and doing zoomies in the backyard. I’m working on my confidence right now and I’m a little shy but I promise I warm up fast. I’m scared of unfamiliar things but my foster parents are going to keep working with me. I’m fully potty trained, crate trained, and have good manners. Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Jax is rescue that we adopted as a 6wk old puppy. He is now almost 7 and is an amazing, loving dog that we are very reluctant to give up. However, we recently welcomed our 1st child to the family and we unfortunately no longer have the time available to give him the amount of attention he deserves. Jax will thrive in a home that has a fenced backyard to play in or with an owner that enjoys long walks. He would be great for a family with grown children that can run around with him. There have been no problems with him and our child, so he would do well with small children as well, but would likely enjoy the company and energy of bigger kids that can play with him. Regardless of your situation, Jax will make an excellent companion for whom ever adopts him! He really just needs someone that will love him and give him all the belly rubs!

Story
Meet Polly, a spirited pup with a heart as big as her story! Originally from Indonesia, Polly was rescued from a difficult situation and has been thriving in her new life in the USA. This lovable, curious, and independent girl is a joy to be around. She adores her daily walks, romping in the yard, and playing with both toys and other dogs. Puzzle toys, tug-of-war, and porch-watching are some of her favorite activities! Though she’s mellow most of the time, Polly gets occasional bursts of energy (hello, zoomies!) and loves to let loose before settling down for some quiet time. Polly is affectionate with her foster family and loves spending time nearby, whether it’s lounging at the foot of the bed or hanging out on the couch. Polly can be a bit shy around new people and dogs, but once she warms up, she’s full of sweetness and charm. She prefers quieter outings like neighborhood walks and peaceful hikes over bustling crowds or noisy events. Polly has been making amazing progress adjusting to her new life and would flourish with a patient, loving family ready to build her confidence and celebrate her playful, goofy side. If you’re looking for a loyal and fun-loving companion to explore life’s adventures, Polly could be the perfect match for you! My Profile Age and weight: I'm 1 year old and weigh 40 pounds.

Story
Toby loves to be highly active though he can also relax with his family. He loves his K9 buddies and we feel he'd be happiest in a home with another active dog/ dogs. He's still a young dog and needs love and guidance from his humans whom he wants to please. Toby would probably love to be with older children and have a big secure backyard where he can romp and play with with his family and k9 sibling/ siblings. He is fully vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped. He can travel anywhere in the US and Canada. ##1501938##
