Story
Rocky is a friendly, happy, and snuggly dog who is always eager to meet new people. His positive energy is evident in everything he does, and he’s an absolute love bug who thrives on attention and affection. Here’s a breakdown of his current behavior and some important notes: Body Language: Rocky passes by kennels and play yards with confident and good body language. He is relaxed and comfortable around other dogs. Leash Behavior: Rocky is always excited to go for walks! He does tend to pull on the leash, but we’ve worked with him a bit and he’s made noticeable improvements. With continued training, he’ll become even better on walks. Training: Rocky is very smart and already knows how to “sit” on command. He’s eager to learn and always happy to engage during training sessions. Size: Rocky is a big guy! His head is about hip-height on me, and he has large, sturdy feet. He’s got the presence of a big, strong dog, but his sweet demeanor is his true charm. Snack Time: Rocky can be a bit jumpy when it comes to snacks, but his enthusiasm is just part of his lovable nature. Personality: This guy is handsome and snuggly—he absolutely loves attention, and all of us gave him some love, which he happily accepted and enjoyed. His kennel tech loves him too, and it’s clear that Rocky has a lot of love to give. Escape Artist: Rocky is quite the clever guy! He can scale a 6ft tall wooden plank fence, so he should never be left outside unsupervised unless he’s on a tether or in a covered kennel. This makes him a great candidate for agility sports! With his intelligence and athleticism, he’d thrive in that type of environment. Overall, Rocky is a sweet, affectionate, and energetic dog who just needs some guidance and supervision in the right home. He’s ready to bring joy and love to a family who can match his excitement and energy.

Story
Jax is a handsome Rhodesian Ridgeback mix with a heart full of love and a bit of shyness that makes him uniquely endearing. At first glance, Jax may appear reserved, especially around unfamiliar faces or in new environments. While he’s not one to rush into social situations, his friendly nature shines through once he feels comfortable. With time, patience, and a little encouragement, Jax warms up to new people and situations, showing off his playful side and eagerness for affection. Jax enjoys outdoor activities like walks or playing in the yard, though he might need a moment to settle into new surroundings before fully engaging. His calm demeanor makes him an ideal companion for a relaxed home.

Quartz

Catahoula Leopard Dog Australian Cattle Dog

Female, 5 yrs 1 mo
Stephenville, TX
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Quartz was found as a stray in 2023 and not claimed, then adopted in 2024 and returned after a few weeks because she was not getting along with the other dogs. She is a lean girl that prefers any kind of people food to dog food, and she does not finish a meal usually. Her fosters made a note that she doesn't really eat her dry food unless it is mixed in with wet food. She is a counter surfer, and will get into the trash to find herself some treats. Her previous name was "Shenzi" which she does respond to. She has done okay with dogs in passing in a calmer setting, but has been dog reactive at the shelter and did not do well in a home with other dogs. She is a very sweet lady and is very high energy. She knows "sit" and "shake." She will tear her way out of a crate if she is left unsupervised in one. She loves going on car rides and being able to stick her head out of the window. She loves being outside with her people, but if left unattended she will jump a fence. Her fosters said that she never barked while she was with them. Quartz would do best in an only pet home. Quartz loves cuddles. She is spayed, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and heartworm negative (also on prevention). All adoptions are first come first serve the day of availability. ECHS does not reserve available animals for the public for any reason. Please note that availability is subject to change at any point in time per ECHS discretion.

Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Lady Bird was surrendered because she does not do well when left by herself. She loves to cuddle and is a very playful dog. She is good with other dogs, kids, and strangers. She cannot live with cats or livestock. While she does tend to go potty in the inside kennels, her previous foster stated she did good in their house and did not have any accidents. She would let you know when she needed to go outside by walking to your door and walking in circles until she is let out. She is an energetic dog breed that will need an outlet for her energy, either through a big yard or someone that is willing to take her for long walks. While on walks, she loves to smell anything and everything. Her previous owner said she loves playing fetch. Bird absolutely loves the water, but can be overzealous with a pool. The hose is her favorite play toy when staff are cleaning the outdoor kennels. Her previous foster stated she loves showers and anytime one was running, she would try and get into it. She does walk good on a leash, but tends to pull for the start of the walk. She does well riding in a car, being brushed, and does know basic commands. Her previous foster stated she did good being left alone and didn't chew anything up nor get into the trash. They also stated she could not figure out speakers, always trying to find where the noise was coming from, and tended to be very gassy. They also told us that occasionally when being pet, she would try and hold their arms or hands in her mouth. They said it was in no way aggressive and they could easily take them out if she did. Lady Bird is spayed, fully vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm negative and on prevention.

Julie

Catahoula Leopard Dog Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, 1 yr 4 mos
Stephenville, TX
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Julie was surrendered because she was no longer wanted. As you may be able to tell from her eyes, she does have some visual impairments that she has likely had since birth. She is still opening up here at the shelter and is extremely skittish. She will try and squeeze past you once the kennel is open. She is sweet once she realizes you're there to give her love. She walks great on a leash. She is able to scale chain link fences, so she will need a secure fence and possibly not be left outside for too long. We do not know how she is with other animals. We do always highly recommend a meet and greet with any current household dogs. She does show some barrier aggression with strangers. We will update as we get to know her better. Julie is fully vaccinated, spayed, microchipped, and heartworm negative and on prevention.
