Story
Darcy is 6 and has lived with us for over 4 years. She is loving and enjoys being social and walks. She is calm, good-natured, chill, and both outgoing and introverted at the same time...an interesting yet lovable trait in how she pulls it off. A place for her: A loving home where she has company (loves to snuggle), a way she won't escape (she is adventurous but doesn't like heat much), some play mates for when she wants to interact, but where she can find her own corner when she chooses (she does very well on her own a lot also).

Story
Iggy was rescued from an animal hoarder along with 50 other dogs when he was about 1 year old. He had been kept in a cage his entire life and as a result his back legs were bowed, he had big feet he hadn't been able to grow into, he was very clumsy, and he only weighted 15 lbs. He has now reached the right size and weight for his breed and age. He is now a very healthy-looking boy. He loves to play but will also curule up on the couch next to you.

Husky

Female, Young
Aquilla, TX

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained,
Story
She was abandon near our ranch. We took her in and has been good in the house and with our other dogs. Unfortunately outside she has killed three of our ducks and terrorized our neighbors fowl and cattle. She would be a great dog for someone who wants an energetic sidekick but unfortunately we just cant keep her due to the issues with livestock. She has a great coat and seems healthy. Very talkative as huskies will be. A lot of fun for the right person or family.

Seeking forever families for one boy and one girl Shih-Tzu puppy. They are 10 weeks old. They are affectionate, socialized, happy and friendly, playful, very eager to learn, just learned how to use our doggy door and we have been working with them on house breaking/potty training. They are good with children and other dogs, too. My daughter taught them to sing (howl) along with her mini harmonica. Primarily indoorsy type fluffybutts that love access to outside for play. Will require regular grooming to maintain their fancy fur coats. (They are a little bougie with their wardrobe. 😆) Given first round of 5-way puppy vaccines and wormed.

Story
Penny is a huge love bug! She’s the most “people friendly” and really loves to be near her human. She is super smart, loves treats, and is crate trained. Penny loves to run and play outside so she is a very active pup! She loves the rope toy but equally loves laying on the bed snuggling! Penny is solid black and has beautiful brown eyes! She is weighing in at 18 lbs and is friendly with dogs, cats, and kids.September 1, 2024, 12:17 am
