All current pets in the home must be spayed/neutered, current on vaccinations and dogs taking heartworm prevention to be considered.
All of our pets including dogs and cats have been spayed or neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. The dogs have been tested for heartworm (or treated and are negative) and are on heartworm prevention. It is our goal to provide you with a healthy addition to your family.
Our rescue dogs have had some training but may require additional command training once adopted. We are not a training facility but a rescue organization. It will be up to the adopter to follow through with any additional training. We will be happy to provide you with a list of reputable dog training facilities.

Little Buddy
Meet Little Buddy. This handsome Dachshund Mix was found sitting on the church steps of his Guardian Angel. He appeared to have been on his own for a while as he was very hungry and pretty beat up looking. She reports that Little Buddy had lacerations on his head and back end.
This lucky boy is now being fostered by his Guardian Angel until he finds a forever home. He is about 18 months old, vaccinated and microchipped. He is learning to walk on a leash using a harness and he loves to ride in the car. He is also a great lap dog and loves attention.
He will do well as an only dog and in an adult home.
He prefers to chase cats so we think a home without
cats would be best.
If you are interested in learning more about Little
Buddy please call us right away or email.
This is Foster. She was swooped up out of the front yard of the Garland Animal Shelter one evening when her Guardian Angel happened to see a man drive up and attempt to leave the dog on the property after closing time. Foster was seen peeking out of the car window as it pulled into the parking lot.
Foster is a 3 year old Chihuahua weighing about 9.5 pounds. She is very loving and does great with older children and pet friendly pets. She gives lots of kisses and is so affectionate. She is spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. If you are looking for a small dog that Foster might just be the right dog for you.

A note from our Shelter Walker:
Most of our dogs and cats come from situations where they were neglected or abused. Some forms of neglect are less obvious than others. We consider not having a pet spayed or neutered without a medical reason being "neglectful". Not everyone will agree. However, I spend a lot of time visiting local shelters looking for adoptable pets. What I find is that most pets in these shelters are adoptable. Many are the result of "accidental pregnancies". Not getting a female pet spayed will most likely result in an accidental pregnancy. Not having a male pet neutered is allowing him to participate in creating an accidental pregnancy. There are approximately 4 MILLION dogs and cats KILLED in shelters in the United States every year. This is something we CAN work on together to resolve. This number can be reduced by spaying and neutering your pet and encouraging others to do the same.
Many of the adoptable dogs we pull from the shelters test positive for heartworm (more than 50%). This is because in Texas we have a very big mosquito problem. Mosquitos carry the larvae that cause heartworm in dogs. This condition is very expensive to treat and very painful for the dog. Not providing heart worm prevention is another form of neglect. If you don't agree, please visit your local shelter and see what I see. The sad eyes of the animals looking at you saying, "Are you going to take me home today?" And all I can say is, "We only have room for two dogs today and you are heartworm positive and we don't have the extra money to pay to have you treated." Elise Bissell/Shelter Walker/Animal Advocate
Adoptable Dogs
"Arthur is a smart fellow who likes to wear sweaters and go for walks. He is currently studying subjects such as sit, down, and come. He has already passed his snuggle and snore tests. His current grade in potty training is a B++ However he does know to potty on command, which is a huge hit when he travels with his foster parents on weekend trips. He travels very well in the car and wears his seat belt with style!
Arthur has been rocked to sleep in forester mom's arms until last week when he decided he was too old for it and put himself to sleep in his crate where he sleeps all night. He currently attends daycare 1 to 2 days a week and always gets A++ on his social behavior and ability to get along with others. He is compliant with his teachers wishes and always gets a cookie for good manners. He is very smart and willing to learn if you are calm and persistent.
This is a wonderful little man who lives with two great danes and 6 cats Arthur loves to play with the dogs and chase the cats. He never hurts the cats but does annoy them as little puppies do. As a general rule puppies can be a bit rough at times so play time with smaller pets should be supervised.
After a rough start in life Arthur is now blooming into life whole heartily and will make the most amazing companion to a person who wants a best friend to go out into the world and explore."
Arthur is a 5 month old handsome hound mix. He was rescued from a local shelter when he was noticed to be catching a cold while waiting for a new home. Well, the cold turned into an intestinal viral condition (the kind that passes amongst dogs in shelters) and he became very ill and had to be hospitalized for a long time. (See his baby picture below-the one the shelter staff took dressed in his Santa Claus hat and Holly Berries). But he is growing and is completely well and looking for his forever home. (UPATED photo on left) His foster mom Kristi says he is really smart.
Read what Kristi says about this sweet pup:
If you would like to know more about making this sweet and deserving dog part of your life then please give his foster mom Kristi a call 214-641-4036 and she will tell you all about him.

The PUPPIES ARE READY!!
Never did I think SEVEN sweet LITTLE bottle baby puppies would grow so fast and be so much work. Well, they did! We have the cutest darn puppies in town and the sweetest AND they are READY to go to their new home! We never did see the parents of these gorgeous dogs, but our best guess is that they are part yellow lab and fluffy shepherd or collie of some sort. We expect they will grow to be about 50 pounds (maybe more?).
We have boys and girls. As they have been hand raised they are sweeter than most and by nature these dogs are very smart and catch on really fast. They are about 10 weeks old now and ready for their new home.
If you are interested please let us know right away as they will not last long!
