Story

Gizmo was rescued from the streets of Texas where he was dumped by his previous owner. He languished there for a few months while a kind woman fed him eash day but was not able to take him in. Circle 2 Rescue stepped up to save this handsome boy and quickly got him to a vet. At his vet appointment we learned that Gizmo is heart worm positive. The treatment will be covered by the rescue. In his temporary foster home, Gizmo has been an absolute delight! His foster mom introduced him to the neighbor's puppy and Gizmo was so patient and well behaved, even though Gizmo was playing with his ball and the puppy was jumping all over him. Gizmo showed remarkable patience. He has been kind and respectiful of her young kids with closely supervised encounters and is well behaved in the house. His foster mom said he is a dream on leash and he loves to play fetch, even bringing the ball back to you! (this was before we knew he was hw positive). He is so happy and excited to see his foster mom when she returns from work each day from her teaching job. She said he makes her heart feel happy. These things indicate the Gizmo was likely a beloved family pet at one point in his life and he must have been so confused at being abandoned. But he hasn't let his hardship affect his happy attitude. This boy is a love!! His heartworm treatment is not complicated but involves about 3 vet visits over the course of 3 months. Gizmo weighs 52 pounds but needs to gain a few pounds. Whilte the vet was not certain of Gizmo's age, he said he is "more than 5 years old" so he could be 5 or he could be 8 or 9 years old. We will try to get a more definitive age for him.

Story

Ginny is a super sweet girl who we have had since July 2024! She came to us as a stray dog who spent the first 1.5(ish) years of her life on the streets and she has been spoiled rotten ever since. Ginny loves every human and dog that she meets but is not cat-friendly. She loves to sit outside to watch the trees and the squirrels, and will gladly cuddle with you any day or night. She is house trained and knows the commands sit, wait, and come, and walks well on leash and off leash. Her ideal home would be either an only-pet home with humans that are home bodies and able to give her constant love and enrichment or a home with another doggy friend she can play with when she wants to.

Story

Jedi is a six year old front leg tripod pitty mix. I am just fostering him right now, but I have known him almost his whole life. He is the sweetest, silliest boy who wants to have a good play sesh and then snuggle up on the couch. He is very well potty trained with never an accident. He is crate trained and loves spending time in his kennel, I am told by neighbors with no crying or anything. He is GREAT with my cats and adores them, but gives them space when they want it. He is great with other dogs too, large and small. Because he is a tripod, he does require more medical care than the average dog. We have just done X rays and blood work, all looking very good! But he has arthritis in his front elbow and takes joint pain medication, but still gets around great. Everyone loves this guy, he has such a big personality!

Meet Jedi: A Loving, Goofy Tripod Looking for a Home! 🐶 Age: 6 years | 🐾 Breed: Pitbull Mix | ❤️ Special Feature: 3-legged superstar! Jedi is the sweetest, silliest dog who loves people, kids, dogs, and even cats! He thinks he’s a lap dog and will cover you in kisses. I rescued him as a puppy, and after an accident, he lost a front leg—but it hasn’t slowed him down! He’s full of love and has so much life left to live. Due to past aggression issues, he’s been living with my cousin, but now he may no longer have a place to stay. Sadly, rescues won’t take him, and I fear he may be put down. He deserves a second chance with a patient, loving owner who will give him structure and stability. His rescue is willing to provide behavior training support to help him succeed. Please help Jedi find a safe, loving home! Contact me at kaylawarden1@gmail.com . Even if you can't adopt, sharing could save his life. ❤️

Story

This bright-eyed, joyful angel came into our lives a couple years ago as a puppy and has been a constant source of entertainment and a fun-loving adventure buddy. Appa is going to be 4 in July and has the curious, intelligent mind to match. He is a snuggler and supreme little spoon. We have tried everything to be able to keep him but some devastating life impacts have made the impossible real. We are hoping for a home that offers him sweet love and snuggles, as he deserves. He would be so happy for a doggo sibling/best friend, but is also a great only child. In our experience he loves to be around kids too and has made more than one friend this way. He knows several commands and is currrently working on leash training. He has lived in both a house with a yard and a walk up condo.
