Story
Dakota is a handsome name, kind of a "rugged" kind of name, right?? I am kind of a REFINED RUGGED kind of boy! For instance, I am a busy boy, I love playing and running with my doggy friends, however, I can lay at your feet very sweetly to beg for your attention. I am kind of like a "reverse" planter as well. I mean, you plant it and i will un-plant it for you :D I won't do it often, just when I want your attention and I am outside alone. So see?? you have great control over that urge! So I am a food and toy lover too, I eat out of a slow feeder bowl because wolfing down my food is not an option! I am learning all things toys and am actually learning how to bring the ball BACK after you throw it. I am a smart and very sweet boy. I do absolutely have a prey drive so no kitties for small furry mammals around me please. I am fully potty trained and great in a crate. Now i just need you to adopt me to complete my circle of life. Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Thor is really playful and has lots of energy. He's fun and loving. He loves to go on walks and explore everything. Unfortunately he has bad separation anxiety and needs someone that will be with him and I work nights so when I leave he will bark and howl the whole night. He needs attention and someone willing to be patient with him because he has a lot of energy. He would be happy in a big backyard, ideally fenced because he can jump high and akitas are really good at escaping. All in all he needs a loving family that will give him his forever home.

Story
Meet Beef! This sweet boy was found as a stray. Luckily, a Good Samaritan brought him in and he is now ready to find his furrever home! Sometimes stray dogs need a little more time and space to get accustomed to living in a home. It is always a good idea to start off your new dog in a dedicated space equipped with a bed, food, and toys. This will help them decompress and get accustomed to the new sights, smells, and sounds. With some food, play, and patience, most dogs will really enjoy being part of a family again. Interested in helping Beef find a home just in time for the holidays and go from stray to cherished pet? Come and meet with him at Anti Cruelty today!

Born: October 21, 2023 I'm 55lbs, and I am looking for my forever home. Adoption Donation: $450 Meet Bingo! This sweet and loving dog is ready to bring joy to her forever home. Bingo is wonderful with people, dogs, and kids, but she would thrive best in a cat-free environment. She’s had fun at doggy daycare and got along great with her furry friends. Bingo is a smart girl who already knows commands like “sit” and “shake” and is eager to learn more. She’s making great progress with house training and is fully crate-trained. Whether she’s playing in the snow, snuggling on the couch, or enjoying her favorite toys, Bingo’s playful and affectionate nature shines. She’s also easygoing when it comes to baths, brushing, and walks on her leash. Bingo would make an incredible addition to any family. Start your New Year off right and check “find the perfect dog” off your resolutions list by welcoming Bingo into your home!

Story
Meet Zu, a three year old German Shepherd/Husky mix available for adoption. Zu has been with us a few times in the past but this time his owner never came back for him. Zu has adjusted well with being back with us. He does great in his kennel and keeps it clean, walks great on a leash, and does well with staff and volunteers. He did great with other dogs so he wouldn`t mind a buddy at home as well. He`s just a mellow guy looking for his forever home. Zu will need a strong handler that is can show leadership, discipline, and knowledge of the breed`s needs and wants. His adoption fee is $235, which includes his vaccines, fecal exam, deworming, current heartworm/flea prevention, heartworm test, registered microchip, and neuter
