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.

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."

Ollie-Italian Greyhound

Ollie is a one year old Italian Greyhound that was left behind with a neighbor when the owner moved away and would not take him along. Ollie is full of fun and energy and will make a great companion on long walks. He is house trained and great with kids and other pets. He is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.

Riley-Newfoundland

Riley is a three year old absolutely gorgeous Newfoundland that we rescued from a local shelter where she had been doing her time in stray hold. Since she was limping we took her to Dr. Neeman who diagnosed her with severe ACL tear of the right knee and heart worms. She has been treated for both and ready for adoption.

Due to her large size and dark thick coat, Riley says she is an INSIDE dog. She loves to lay on the cool tile and when you walk by her she reaches out with her paws and grabs your leg and rolls over exposing her stomach for a good scratching. And if you think your are done and she is not, she will continue to grab you!

She gets along great with other dogs, cats and kids. She needs a home where she is not expected to do a lot more than just look beautiful. She still has a residual limp but everyday is becoming less and less noticeable. Wont you give this girl a chance?

Foster-Chihuahau mix

Foster is a sweet tricolored chihuahua who was rescued from a local kill shelter one evening when her owner was going to just dump her on the front lawn as the shelter was closed when he got there. Lucky for Foster, her guardian angel was looking out for her. Foster is three years old and gets along with other dogs, cats and kids. She will make a great family pet.

Little Black and white puppies-lab mixes

These pretty girls were dumped over a neighbor's fence when only about 8 weeks old and barely weaned from their mother. Initially there were four, however, one has already been adopted. They appear to be a mix of lab and hound of some sort. They are 14 weeks old. They are living in foster homes where they are being house trained, crate trained, and leash trained. They get along with other dogs, cats and kids. These puppies will make great family pets. They are expected to be about 30-45 pounds when full grown.

Turner

Check out his happy boy! Turner was rescued from a local kill shelter where he had been picked up as a stray. He is funny, happy go lucky boy with lots of energy. He will be great in a family who has another dog who does not mind playing with Turner and being his best buddy. He does well with older kids and cats too. Turner is believed to be a poodle/terrier mix. He is only about 8 months old.
