Get ready to meet the newest combo meal sensation, brought to you by McDonald's... Oops, we mean McDaddy and his sister wives, McMuffin and McFlurry! These delightful pups were discovered living in a McDonald's drive-thru, where they'd been flipping tails for months. The good news? One of the sister wives, McFlurry, has already found her forever home and is loving life! But the McDaddy-McMuffin duo is still awaiting their perfect match, whether that means together or apart. What's the secret sauce to their happiness? Well, these two definitely need another canine companion to keep those tails wagging! Let's meet the star of the show, McDaddy! He's a sweet, middle-aged guy with a low-energy vibe. He enjoys leisurely strolls through the yard, cozy couch naps, and most of all, he loves chilling in his crate while keeping a watchful eye on the house. McDaddy is a people lover, but he's not so keen on the little ones-they make him a bit nervous. However, when it comes to other dogs, he's a real team player, and those pesky cats? Well, he's too smart to bother with them. He's diligently working on his housetraining manners and wears a fancy belly band until he's mastered it all. But for a former drive-thru aficionado, he's adjusting beautifully to the cozy comforts of home life, complete with his very own spot and foster humans who adore him for exactly who he is! With a heart full of gratitude for his newfound safety, regular meals, and understanding and loving people, McDaddy is more than ready for his forever companion, whether it's a friend for your dog or a package deal with his lovely sister, McMuffin. So, if you're ready to add a dash of love and happiness to your life, don't leave McDaddy at the drive-thru! Swing by and let him be the perfect addition to your family. And don't forget to check out his stunning sister, McMuffin-she's head over paws for her foster home too! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX)

Story
Meet the incredible Izzy, although she's also known as Samantha, a true American Staffordshire Terrier mix with a heart as big as the open plains. Izzy's journey hasn't been the easiest, but her unwavering love and loyalty shine bright. With eyes that sparkle like stars, Izzy is the kind of companion that makes every car ride an adventure. She loves hopping in and taking her spot in the backseat, right between her favorite humans, ready to share the road with you. She's a cuddle enthusiast, known to flop down next to you just to feel close and get her fair share of affection. Izzy is well-behaved and knows the importance of a schedule, making potty breaks a breeze. She's kennel trained, but her curious nature and intelligence can sometimes turn her into a bit of an escape artist. She's full of love and a big fan of chew toys, treats, and special puppucinos to celebrate the good times. However, she does get nervous if left alone for too long, stemming from her early days when she waited by a ditch until kind humans came to her rescue. Izzy's heart overflows with love for her people, but she's still working on building trust with male figures due to her past experiences. She's not only great with other dogs, often rolling around in the grass, but she can also tolerate feline friends. However, her feelings towards other cats are unpredictable. And beware, she has a knack for letting everyone know when it's her turn for a potty break with her unique, loud cry. While she's an excellent leash walker, her excitement sometimes gets the best of her, leading her to try and take the lead. But with the right training and a bit more time, she's sure to overcome this small quirk. Izzy is a remarkable girl, full of love and a testament to the resilience of animals. If you're seeking a loyal and loving companion who's come a long way, Izzy is the one for you. She's more than just a dog; she's a treasured family member waiting for her forever home. Are you ready to welcome her into your heart and home? Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area - $50 Temporary Fuel Charge will be added)

Story
*EXPERIENCED ADOPTERS* Meet Biggie! Biggie is a very special boy who has had a rough past and is looking for an extra special person to enter his life. ***Warning: Biggie’s story does include heartbreaking and graphic descriptions. In December of 2022 someone called to report a large stray dog. Due to the size of the pup, the organization who received the call sent not one, but two, men to "rescue" him. Both men used large catch poles to simultaneously choke and drag the pup into their transport vehicle. The restraints were so tightly wrapped around his neck that his eyes became bloodshot. Once inside the vehicle, he was brought to a veterinary facility for holding. While you'd think that's where the horrors ended, it was only the beginning. The room where he was placed after being brought in from the streets is where he sat, isolated and terrified, for over 30 days. A majority of Staff were afraid to handle him due to his size, instead they herded him around with a large bed. Unfortunately, this only scared him more. The only happiness this poor guy had was the occasional "Biggie Bag" from Wendy's that was snuck to him. This lifestyle wasn't sustainable, and that was apparent. In January of this year, staff reached out to us for help. After hearing this guy's story we couldn't say no. He came to our facility and after feasting on hamburgers and french fries for the past month, the only name that seemed fitting for our man was "Biggie". Our poor guy had a really rough start. After experiencing so much trauma, Biggie was a very terrified dog. Things such as sudden movements and loud noises really scared him. Slowly, Biggie began trusting a few members of our team. It started with feeding him cheese whiz and treats through a gate and gradually grew to taking him on walks and field trips. We learned Biggie loved ponds and running water. For the first time, we got to see him relax and truly enjoy being a dog. Over the past month, the progress we have seen is nothing short of remarkable. Biggie is comfortable with the majority of our team and even a few volunteers. He is playing with stuffies, rolling over for belly rubs, and even giving kisses! He really is our miracle boy. Now, almost 9 months after he was found alone and abandoned, we are proud to announce Biggie is available for adoption. Due to his size and background, he will need an experienced adopter without young children. Biggie has done well with other dogs, although they would need to be introduced during this process. We know this sounds intimidating, but after months with Biggie Boy, we think he is going to make an amazing dog. He just needs to find his place. If you would like to have a meet with our special boy, please contact us.

Story
Sozo is approximately 1-2yrs and approximately 60lbs. He appears to be a bully breed mix with possibly hound dog.Sozo was humanely trapped on December 19th 2024 after running the area for a few days. He needs a patient adopter who understands he needs gentle socialization. He has come so far since being trapped but still is unsure of certain situations but comes through with gentle coaxing. We have no idea what his past history is, we don’t know if he has been around cats or kids or if he lived with other dogs although he has been happy to see dogs at the shelter. A meet and greet with any existing dog will be set up. He loves to be pet; he knows sit and shake. He loves treats and is super smart. He hasn’t had any accidents in his kennel. If you’d like to know more about Sozo or would like to set up a meet and greet please call Livingston County Dog Control @585-243-6740. Please leave a detailed message if no answer and we will call you back as soon as possible, thank you
