Story
This is Ace he’s been living with me since he was a puppy. He’s about 6 years old and very friendly. He loves people and gets along with other dogs. I don’t have very much room for him being the size he is. I’m gone at work all day. I don’t have the time to give him the love and affection he deserves. I’m trying to find a new home for him.

Sadie Mae

Boxer

Female, Adult
Prairie Hill, TX
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained,
Story
Sadie Mae is a very independent and energetic dog. She loves to play tug-o-war. She loves to be outside, yet at the same time enjoys being inside the house as well. She came to our home because she was running around in the neighborhood and my street is high traffic and I was afraid she would get ran over so in the backyard she came. Couple weeks passed and our male dog warmed up to her. A little to warm for my liking and before we could get an appointment to get her spayed, well....now we have 3 puppies, also ready for adoption (8 weeks old now at time of this listing). I estimate Sadie Mae is 2 years old. No idea what breed she is, but said Boxer since she does have some same playful tendancies a Boxer has.

Temple, TX
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Draco is a rescue pup from a friend of mine. He is a purebred Siberian husky without official papers, but both parents are Siberian huskies. He is almost four years old and has all his shots. Draco loves to run and explore, but we don't have enough yard to run around. Draco can also jump very high and has escaped our short-chain fences. He will lie down with you and usually sleeps on the floor at the foot of our bed. Draco responds well to basic commands but can get into things he is not supposed to. He is an adorable dog, but he has become hard for us to handle. He loves people! He needs space to run and people who can often love and play with him. He has lived well with two other small dogs. Having a big dog has made us realize he requires a lot more attention and needs. We travel often, and it's easier to navigate the smaller dogs. Draco is a bundle of joy, and we have enjoyed having him. We know he needs someone who can run with him and room to play.

Chewie

Labrador Retriever German Shepherd Dog

Male, Adult
Temple, TX
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,
Story
We got sweet Chewie when he was just a few months old, he is an incredibly sweet boy. He loves adults, gets along really well with other dogs, and does well with cats with a proper introduction. We need to rehome him because he has recently started getting incredibly anxious around children and is becoming aggressive towards them barking and growling. We have a toddler and we think he will do best in a home with no kids. He has never had any issues being in a house with only adults, and with the occasional run in with kids, but being around them every day is too much for him to handle. He loves to cuddle, is completely house trained, and knows a few small tricks. He loves hikes and playing chase but he is also a very chill dog to just sit and have a movie night with. We are so sad to be rehoming him but we know we have to think of the best life for him and for our toddler. He will be a light in your life if you choose to take him in.
