COMING SOON

Elvis is a sweet, sweet soul.  He is about 7 years old now but don't let the age or grey fool you.  He has the athleticism of a younger dog still.  He is not overly energetic but can definitely keep up with his younger friends.  Elvis does have a history with separation anxiety.  He loves his people so much that he can have a tendency to act out such as scratching the door excessively or chewing his bed up if he thinks you've been gone too long. Since he has been with us for the past 2 months we have not experienced any issues with the separation anxiety and have left him for 5-6 hours at a time. He has been a total gentleman.  He is house trained and we have been letting him have the run of the house when we are gone and he's been great!  He does well with other dogs, hasn't chewed on anything he's not suppose to and loves to cuddle.  Elvis is a water dog and will go for a swim if close to water.  His perfect home would be a family that wouldn't have to be gone most of the day and give him plenty of outdoor time and exercise whether it is out in the yard playing ball or just laying in the sun, walks or going to the dog park.  He loves his sunshine.  He needs you to understand his separation anxiety if it ever happens to show up again. He wants to be loved just as much as any dog.   Elvis loves people and he loves to please.

Hi! My name is Abigail. My Foster Parents call me Abby. I am a very friendly girl that is already housebroken. I was a pretty overweight when I joined the program, but with daily walks, good diet and a lot of exercise, I have trimmed up and well on my way to a good weight. I love my 2 x daily walks with my Foster Dad. I have fun with other dogs and have not had any problems or issues since I got to meet and live with my Foster Parents. I love attention and would do best in a home where I can get plenty of exercise and attention. I love kids, but would do best in a house with no young children. I also love Ear scratches, long naps, bones and squeaky toys.

Oddie

Hello! Are you looking for a sweet, gentle, boy who loves to snuggle? If so, look no further because I’m your guy. My name is Oddie (pronounced O-dee, not Odd-ee).  There is nothing odd about me!  I love to be around my people and get along well with other dogs after a proper introduction. I like to spend my days hanging out with my foster mom or dad if they work at home. During the evenings, I snuggle with mom while we watch TV. She doesn’t mind if I hog the chair J

From Oddie’s foster mom: Oddie is a gorgeous, 2 year old boy.  From the moment he came into our home, he has been a wonderful addition to our family.  He is very calm, fully house trained, doesn’t chew, and rarely barks. Oddie will go in a crate without complaining, but after a few days he proved that he is trustworthy in the house so he isn’t crated. Oddie has been undergoing heart worm treatment so he’s a bit under the weather and needs to remain calm.  Because of this, we don’t let him play with his foster brother or go on long walks.  Once he’s feeling better, we expect that he will have more energy and we’ll start to see more of his personality. Oddie is very thin and needs to gain weight. He will need someone who will work with him to help him gain weight and take him on walks to build up his muscles. Most importantly, he will need someone who doesn’t mind a large lap dog as he really likes to cuddle.

We don’t know much about Lucky’s story before being rescued, but he is a very happy-go-lucky type of guy. When he first came into our home, he was a little rough around the edges, but with some patience and training, he has become more disciplined . He is always at your side, loves belly rubs and playing in our little plastic baby swimming pool after a walk in the Texas heat. Lucky also loves to play fetch & knows "release", as well as the basic commands such as sit/stay/lay. 

 He's good on a leash and great with kids. However, because he's a big boy at 76 pounds, he has the potential to knock over small kids and would do best in a home with older kids. He does great with our 11-year-old lab, but he sometimes forgets that mom & dad have to give equal love to both dogs. Finally, he doesn't like cats and has a little storm anxiety. But when he wears his Thundervest, he’s content to sleep by our bed and not in it. Don't let any of this turn you away from a great guy. He is 100% trustworthy in the house while we are gone and just a big lovable, goofy guy.

COMING SOON

Tulip is a beautiful, sweet but shy dog.  She takes some time to understand her place and has very mild separation anxiety but she is extremely loyal.  Sure, she loves her toys, splashing in the pool, going for walks, riding in the car and treats - but more than anything, she loves her people (all kinds - young, old, noisy or quiet). She gets along with other dogs but it does take a little time to warm up and she needs a proper introduction (like any good lady should) and monitoring for a day or so.  

What this little lady doesn't like is crates. And she can be very creative in finding a way to break out.  And frankly - they stress her out.  If not crated, she is really very good in the house.   

Tulip would be best in a home where someone is home with her most of the time - at least for the first month or two.  A home with another low key and very well adjusted dog can help her to adjust and get over what will be about a month to really get comfortable.  She does occasionally have an accident in the house when she's unsure of her status but after that - she is well potty trained and as long as not crated - has good potty habits.

She is really just the sweetest, calmest dog when you are with her and after about a month has really done well with learning that being left is not permanent.  She needs a home that will commit to her for the long term and allow her to truly develop into the great dog that she can be.  Every day I see progress in this dog and she needs the right home to give her some time to adjust to be that dog that will steal your heart.

Boone will be ready to find his forever family soon.  He will make a great addition to some lucky family!

COMING SOON

Meet Duke, about  5-6 years old, 118 pound lab-mix, with a heart of love as big as his strength. He was rescued from a kill shelter, in need of medical attention and lots of love. Since his “Gotcha Day” he has lived the easy life indoors, gotten his needed medicine and treatments, found his favorite spot on the couch to hang out, loves treats, ear scratches, belly rubs, hugs, giving kisses, peanut butter and TENNIS BALLS!! He’s housetrained, sleeps on a soft bed next to Foster Mom, doesn’t roam at night, doesn’t beg for food when the family eats, and no food aggression with people. He likes nice children that will give him gentle hugs, ear rubs, and throw a ball. 

Duke was found to have arthritis in his back knees but having an anti-inflammatory pill per day and a glucosamine supplement, he moves, runs and plays where it’s not noticeable. Duke tested positive and completed treatment for heartworms, and continues on a monthly preventative to stay healthy. Any medicine is super easy to give as Duke will sit and drool for medicine wrapped in peanut butter. 

As with us all, being imperfectly perfect, Dukes imperfections are: lack of leash training, counter surfing for food only when left alone (loves bread of course), scared of kennels (not sure why). He is trainable and has gotten better on the leash since his rescue, but needs a new home that can handle his size and work with him more… he’s very strong.  Keeping counters cleared of food products deters the counter surfing and being scared of a kennel hasn’t been a problem because he hasn’t needed one. Duke likes to be the top dog but will coexist with a passive buddy. Reaction to cats is unknown. He is good with small children but remember he is a large dog, when excited or playing he could accidently knock them down. He needs training with positive encouragement and treats. If he’s fussed at he will belly roll in submission.    

Duke is a sweet boy who needs a sweet home that will let him live indoors, love him and spoil him, let him find his favorite spot to be a couch potato, and can work with him on his leash.

Hi my name is Soloman and I'm looking for a good home.  I'm a loving and kind dog, kind of shy at first but once I get to know you I'll be by your side. Because I'm young, I need a good walk every day and plenty of exercise.  I like being around people and enjoy a good pat on the head or tummy rub.  I don't like being in a crate - in fact, I've been known to escape (which is why they sometimes call me Houdini).  I'll make an awesome family pet!

Evan loves to wrestle and play with his other foster Labs. He loves people and gets along well with his foster family's  children and all the adults in the house.

Unfortunately, he is undergoing HW treatment  and very underweight. Please continue to check back on him as he walks the road to recovery.

8/18/17 Hi everyone, Zeb here.  Just thought I would give you a short update on myself.  I had to have FHO surgery last week. FHO  is the surgical removal of the head and neck of the femur. In simpler terms, it is the removal of the “ball” part of the ball-and-socket that makes up the hip joint.  When i was turned into the shelter, I couldn’t put any weight on my back leg so the great Vets at DFWLRR determined this was the best procedure to get me out of pain.   The good news is that my prognosis is really good. I’m already putting weight on my back leg and walking around the block.  I’ll probably never be a dog that can be your running partner, but I’ll be a great walking or swimming partner or just normal dog playing.  I’m on the smaller side which is great for my hip and  you will need to make sure i stay at a healthy weight and give me lots of exercise if your interested in adopting me.
