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. Good with kids: Unknown Good with dogs: Some dogs Good with cats: Unknown Fenced yard: Yes Suitable for townhouse and/or apartment: No House trained: Yes. Crate trained: Yes Barks when left alone: I’ll bark when you leave, but then I’ll settle down Chews inappropriate items: Occasionally Training: I know sit, and I'm looking forward to training class to learn more!

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
So apparently we are Georgia peaches :) I mean, we r named after Georgia cities :0 And of course, Georgia is known for their peaches and their starry skies... and we agree that we are just like them! Our story starts much like so so many others in the south.... we were dumped at about 8 weeks old in a median and boy were we scared!! Luckily the lady who found and saved us was going to the exact location daily to feed/water and try to catch two adult dogs who had been hanging out there for almost a year :( SO, she was very very persistent and got the rescue to take us and we were caught and brought straight to the rescue... and we have been here ever since. Our foster mom has been working hard to get us more comfortable with people and being held and loved and we have made LOTS of progress!! We each have our own personality, much like the cities we are named after...... Savannah is a gorgeous blonde peach, she has a shyness to her but once she knows who you are her sweet ways will win you over :) Wrens is sister number two, she is a tall glass of sweet tea, dark tea colored with a playful and silly demeanor. She wants to be loved and is learning to express that more every day... and FINALLY Tybee is the little brother, he looks pretty different than his sisters so we call him the brother from another mister :) Ty Ty is a really really sweet lowrider who loves to be kind of naughty at times (he drags his foster mom's shoes in the yard all the time!!) Any one of these pups would be fantastic, each one will be best with another dog in the house- a calm and confident dog to play with them and to help them acclimate to their new homes :) Don't wait too long, these three are really really Southern pups who will charm their way into somebody's hearts ;) Hopefully yours! Local adoption fee is $250 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)
