Story
Meet Dolly, aka Fleur de Lis! My story didn’t start out very pretty. I was found wandering the streets with a bad case of mange, but thankfully, a wonderful savior reached out to the rescue, and I got my second chance! My foster family gave me special baths, medicine, and lots of love, and now I’m feeling fabulous and ready for my forever home! A few things you should know about me: I LOVE other dogs and enjoy cuddling up with my furry friends. I’m great with kids (my youngest human friends are 4), and I’m such a good sport that I even let them play dress-up with me! I’m a playful girl who wants to be your shadow, your snuggle buddy, and your very own lap dog. I’m still working on a few puppy manners, like keeping all four paws on the floor and learning which toys belong to me, but I promise I’m worth the effort! I’m a beautiful Pittie mix with one gorgeous blue eye. Maybe I have a little Aussie or Husky in my family tree… or perhaps a bit of both! Who knows? Whatever my mix, I’m 100% adorable and full of love. My hard days are behind me, and now I’m ready for the best chapter yet. Could that be with YOU? **Adopt me, and let’s make our own happily-ever-after!** Local adoption fee is $300(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Hey there, I'm Dixie, the most delightful little puppy you'll ever meet! I may be a tiny bundle of fur, but I've got a big personality and an even bigger heart. Affectionate and gentle, I love nothing more than showering my humans with kisses and cuddles. Despite my baby status, I'm already quite the athlete, always ready to zoom around the yard or tackle a new agility course. Curiosity drives me, and I’m always exploring every nook and cranny, though I promise I won’t get into too much trouble! When the adventures are over, you’ll find me in my favorite spot—the couch, where I can be your little couch potato. I may be brave and protective, but I’m also incredibly loyal and loving. My dignified demeanor hides a funny, playful spirit that will have you laughing in no time. Smart and independent, I’m learning new tricks faster than you can say “sit!” Even though I’m quiet and gentle, I’m always ready for a game or a snuggle session. Come meet me and let’s start our amazing journey together!
