Adopting a dog is a meeting of the heart as well as of the mind. It is a lifetime commitment to an animal that will be your loving companion and your best friend.

To view our adoptable dogs that are in Texas please visit our Adopt A Pet link here:

We also have a North East "hub" with our two co-leaders Lia, Michelle and Jen. We transport adoptable dogs to the North East. You can either request for a Texas dog to be transported directly to you as an Adopter or we do occasionally send some to Fosters. The list of dogs that are currently in New York are at this link:

Please note we are a foster based rescue so if you are interested in meeting a dog it is by appointment only once we have received back an application and have conducted a phone interview. We are not a shelter and do not have "one location" for you to meet all of our dogs. So in order to meet, we need to coordinate with our fosters and find a suitable location/time to meet. We do also require home visits but if due to restrictions we ask for you to at least send pictures of your house/yard.

We have a few dogs that are not deemed "adoptable" yet whether it's because they need to get spayed/neutered, undergo HW treatment or any other medical/behavioral needs. However, we are always open to a foster to adopt. Below are a few of our soon to be adoptable dogs that are not yet listed on Adopt- A- Pet.

Shellac
German Shepherd
Shellac is a brave and loving mom who, along with her six beautiful puppies, joined our program in June of 2024. Her puppies have all found wonderful homes in upstate New York, but Shellac’s journey has taken a different path. During her spay appointment, it was discovered that she has a severe heart murmur, and X-rays revealed a very enlarged heart. We are currently conducting further tests to determine the best way to help her. Shellac's resilience and gentle spirit make her a truly special dog deserving of all the love and care we can provide.
