DOB: 4/7/2020; Weight: about 50 pounds. Gender: Female; Breed: Husky/Shepherd (one blue eye) ; House trained, crate trained, Heartworm negative and currently taking Heartgard. She also takes Nexgard, flea prevention and is up to date on her vaccinations, may need a Bordatella booster. She is Spayed, Microchipped. She interacts well with children on walks but has not lived with any children. Mara is now 1 year old, and is very playful and energetic. She is a dominant or Alpha female so would be best in a home with a non-dominant dog or as the only dog. She is very smart, but is also very stubborn and is selective in her listening. She knows basic commands, and is crate/house/leash trained. She is food motivated, and will do anything for a treat. She has grown up with small dogs and cats, and gets along great with them. I do not know what she went through at her previous residence (we were given her at 4 months), but she seems unsure around men. She sleeps at the foot of my adult daughter's bed at night and is only crated when we leave the house. (posted 5.15.2021)

NEO - Contact CLAUDIA VERONICA LINK by email: Ronni.link@gmail.com or call or text 361-946-3284 (dog is in Corpus Christi)

In my furst introduction to you, I yammered on and on about my angst, my anxiety, my anxious behaviors. I had so much anxious that I was running away from home. My family gave me up to a Foster Mom because they were worried I would get hit by a car or lost. Now that I am in a Foster Mom house, I have made a total 180. My first family wasn’t likely the proper habitat for me. So now I am looking for a home that is more like my Foster Mom’s home since I am doing quite well and content here. I mean look at this face, you can practically see the little hearts popping outta my eye balls. Foster Mom lets me impersonate her shadow all day. I love to follow her all around. The kitchen, heck yeah. The bedroom, heck yeah. The bathroom, why the heck not, she watches me, fair is fair. I hope my new human likes a clingy dog, because clingy is just another word for loyalty in doggie doctrine. I have not exhibited any of the anxious or destructive behavior here, I have been a model citizen. I am not a fan of my crate, but I will go in with some encouragement. I let Foster Mom know when I need to go see a man about a horse, which is secret code for potty business. I even play with stranger’s dogs just fine. Since I did exhibit anxious behavior at a previous residence, you would need to be well equipped to deal with it, if it arises again. My new owner needs to be someone who will be dedicated to working on my issue. I need stability and routine. Dogs thrive on routines and knowing what is expected of us. Please contact my current Foster Mom to discuss if you can provide me with the proper environment to be the best Neo that I can be.

Basics: Neo, neutered male, 4 years old, house/crate trained, heartworm negative, microchipped, good with other dogs, no to cats, good with children, was surrendered due to anxious/anxiety behaviors at previous home, but is doing very well in his new Foster Home, so he just needs the right environment to thrive, very loyal and sweet.

Daisy - CONTACT CHERRY JENKINS -- CHERRY2790@HOTMAIL.COM OR 210-999-0393 (TEXT ONLY) DOG LOCATED IN ADKINS, TEXAS NEAR SAN ANTONIO; WILL ASSIST WITH TRANSPORTATION IF NEEDED.

Daisy is a blue-nose pit bull around five years old, weighing 50 pounds. She was originally rescued with chronic demedex mange. Her rescue cleaned her up but it has left her skin scarred. Daisy is house and crate trained, she is a very gentle soul who just loves to be with people and she will often have a conversation with you when you talk to her. She isn’t interested in being friends with other dogs. She doesn’t go after them but she doesn’t like it when they get pushy in trying to be friends. She much prefers the company of people and is very gentle and sweet with them. So careful introduction with other dogs and someone who is experienced in introducing dogs is a must. She likes to play ball but most of all she just prefers to hang out with you. She is spayed, micro chipped and up-to-date on everything. She has been in rescue for four years, adopted twice, brought back both times. Will you give Daisy a new chance at a fur-ever home? (posted 12-29-2020)

Bebe - contact James at jrjones8821@gmail.com or TEXT ONLY at 405-380-8269. (dog located in Durant, Oklahoma which is 1.5 hours north of dallas. owner will meet half-way)

Bebe is 12 years old but gets around very well and still has lots of energy. See the video of him grabbing a toy below. He is neutered, but aggressive towards dogs. I have never seen him aggressive towards people. We have had him since 3/2019 and he hasn't bitten anyone since we have had him and none before as far as I know. He is current on his shots. We are located in Durant, OK but can meet if it is a good home. He is good with kids as long as they are gentle (he's old and doesn't like them to be rough with him). He is dog aggressive so I would keep away from other dogs. He is great with our cat but will chase other cats if they run from him. He is pretty good on a leash and will correct. We have a lot of rabbits near our house and he loves trying to catch them. We need a new home for him due to recently moving into a new subdivision with MANY neighborhood dogs and we can't afford for him to get out. I believe the behavior is more territorial than aggression. He is such a sweet dog to us. A home in the country with a fence would be best.

He loves to play fetch but doesn't like to give up the ball when he brings it back, tug of war. He LOVES playing soccer with me and my niece. He will go nuts trying to get a ball or one of his toys. He is really good with our nieces. He lets the cat be mean to him. The cat will paw him when he walks by and he doesn't even finch. He's not currently on heartworm meds; he's inside most of the time. Last check he was heartworm negative. (posted 9.4.2020)
