Adoption Application: https://www.cognitoforms.com/New2URescues/AdoptionApplication ********If dog/pup is showing as available it is available. Please do not email asking if it is. Submit application to meet dog if interested - yes an application is required******** Meet Butterball! This handsome Australian Shepherd is about 1 year old and weighs in at 60 pounds. Don't let his size fool you- he thinks he makes a wonderful lap dog and finds his favorite activity to be couch snuggles. He has that young dog energy, but is also just as agreeable to lay and relax with you. He does love his toys, playing fetch, and chewing on antlers. He is great with other dogs, and is very sweet with his smaller foster siblings. He has been around small children and does well, but be aware he is a very animated door greeter! Butterball is house trained, crate trained, and even knows several commands like "sit" and "paw"- treats help here! He also makes a great neighborhood patrol dog as he loves to alert you if something is going on outside. His foster family cannot say enough wonderful things about Butterball, and he is really excited to find his forever family!

Story
Nebula, a truly beautiful dog. While her past holds some hardship – she was found living on the streets with her seven puppies – her spirit shines through. Nebula is a sweet and beautiful girl, possessing a gentle nature that will blossom with the right amount of patience and understanding. Nebula's intelligence is evident in her quick grasp of commands. She's already house-trained and crate-trained, demonstrating a willingness to learn and adapt. She enjoys walks immensely, exhibiting a calm and easy-going temperament. What Nebula truly desires is a loving home where she can finally feel safe and secure. While her street life has made her initially cautious around new people, once she builds trust, her playful puppy-like energy resurfaces. It's a beautiful transformation to witness. We believe Nebula would thrive in a quiet and patient home, ideally with someone experienced in working with dogs who have experienced trauma. With the right care, she'll become the most loyal and loving companion imaginable. If you're interested in learning more about Nebula and potentially offering her a loving forever home, please don't hesitate to contact us. $200 In State Adoption Fee (in Texas) $400 Out of State Fee (includes Transportation to your area) $50 Temporary fuel surcharge.

Story
Meet Meeka’s Pups! Our story began in the most dramatic way—our mom, Meeka, arrived at the rescue in active labor with us! Meeka is a beautiful Lab/Australian Shepherd mix, and she brought nine of us into the world, each with our own unique look. Some of us have long legs, while others are low riders with long bodies and short legs. Our coats come in all different colors and textures, making us a truly one-of-a-kind litter! We are adventurous little explorers who love zooming around the yard, collecting sticks, and pouncing on our siblings. Toys are our absolute favorite—whether they squeak, bounce, or are extra fluffy, we love them all! After all the fun, nothing beats curling up in a warm lap for some snuggles. If you're looking for a playful, adventurous, and affectionate companion, one of us might be the perfect match for you! Freckles looks like he's gonna be a lowrider. Local adoption fee is $250 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Boomer is about 1 year old, and he weighs just over 60 pounds. Boomer is one big happy bundle of energy! We think with training, Boomer could be a great agility dog, or even a dance partner, since he spends so much time bouncing around on two legs anyway! Boomer came to us from a home where he thought his job was to herd the children. Due to this, he should go to a home where the kids are older (we'd recommend 12 and up), and can help guide him to more appropriate activities. Boomer knows how to sit for treats, and is working on his "shake" command and his leash walking. For the time being, Boomer will need to be crated when unattended, as he will sometimes chew and ingest materials he shouldn't.

Story
Meet Kage, the ultimate good boy who's just so darn cute! This gentleman is a pro at house living, fully potty trained, and a master at walking on a leash and harness. He's a social butterfly, getting along famously with other dogs and loving those backyard playdates with his pals. Kage is a stunning mix of Lab and Border Collie, the perfect blend of intelligence and family-friendliness. He's just the right size, like a mini Lab or a slightly larger Border Collie. When you find two fantastic things that go together like peanut butter and jelly, you celebrate! Kage is that winning combo, and now you can celebrate by making him a cherished member of your family. His temperament is pure gold - sweet as honey with everyone he meets. Now, here's the scoop: Kage is a special needs pup, and he's looking for someone who can be with him about 90 percent of the time. Storms, rain, and loud noises send him into severe panic attacks, and he's been known to chew through walls when anxiety strikes. Crates aren't his jam because of past storm-related trauma. He's also dealing with seizures, so he's on medication for that. Kage would thrive in a local adoption, and he's best as a single dog with no cats or small animals around. He's a wonderful companion for older kids, and he loves nothing more than cuddles and long walks. He's got the whole house training thing down too. His foster mom adores him and has prepared him for his forever family as best she can. Now, the ball is in your court. Remember, when you adopt Kage, you're not just bringing home a good boy; you're giving him the loving, understanding home he deserves. Don't shop, adopt, because Kage's life depends on it! 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)
