Rowan

  Meet Rowan! He's ready for his forever home but needs a foster placement first!

Rowan's favorite activities include chasing squirrels, playing with toys, pulling out fluff, and rubbing his head and back under your legs—especially when he's nervous.

- 3-year-old red male, 75 lbs

- Chow experience required

- No young children or older folks; he can be mouthy and nippy during playtime

- Other dogs are fine as long as they are tolerant of his playful nature

- No cats; fenced yard needed; best with a private space to roam rather than leash walks for potty time

- Continued training on social skills and mouthiness during play is essential


Rowan is currently located near Houston, TX.

Buddi

  Buddi is searching for a loving forever home! This handsome senior Chow mix is 7 years young and has a heart full of curiosity and wisdom.


In his old life, Buddi previously enjoyed the freedom of a doggie door, coming and going as he pleased. However, as his owner’s health declined, structure and discipline became inconsistent, allowing his independent Chow nature to shine through. Now in foster care, he’s learning routine and beginning to trust again. While he still appreciates his space, he’s showing more openness to companionship and love. He prefers not to be left alone for long periods and would thrive in a patient, understanding home where he feels safe and secure.


He deserves a home where he can continue to grow and be cherished. If you’re looking for a loyal, soulful companion, Buddi could be the perfect match. 


Buddi is currently located in Magnolia, TX.

Candace

There’s something about fall — the way the air changes, the way light softens, the way old things shed to make room for new growth. For Candace, this season is her turning point.

When she was first rescued, Candace was hidden beneath layers of mats and fear. She could barely walk and wanted to disappear. But with time, patience, and the gentle care of her foster mom, she’s begun to bloom. 


Now, Candace greets each morning like a new chapter — trotting around the yard, inspecting every leaf, chasing the wind, and stretching in the sun. She’s learning what safety feels like, what trust feels like… what home could feel like.


She’s still not a fan of the crate or fish oil (some things never change), but she’s stronger, healthier, and happier every day. Candace is heartworm positive and continuing her slow-kill treatment, but that doesn’t stop her from embracing this new season with confidence and curiosity.


Candace would do best as the only dog, soaking up all the attention and calm she deserves.


Candace is currently being fostered in Texas.

Sofie

  Sofie, the amazing momma of the Motor Club puppies, is a petite, smooth-coated Chow/Shepherd mix with a gentle heart and a signature purple tongue. She loves attention and walks well on a leash. 


Sofie gets along with people and other dogs, however, her pray drive is high (if it moves, she wants to chase) so no cats for this girl. She is done taking wonderful care of her six puppies, and is ready for her forever home.


Sofie is currently located in Hallsville, TX.

Peanut

  Sweet Peanut is officially looking for a family to call his own! This 5–6 year old, 35-pound chow mix is located in San Marcos, TX and is ready for his next chapter after everything he’s been through.


Peanut is still settling in and letting his personality unfold, but he already shows that soft, steady charm that makes you stop and take a second look. He’s at that perfect age where he’s past the chaos of puppyhood but still full of life and love to give. 


What he’s really looking for now is simple—comfort, consistency, and someone to call his person.


Peanut is currently being fostered in San Marcos, TX.

Canelo

Canelo is the kind of dog who keeps life interesting. This handsome black Chow is 6 years old, 45 pounds, and equal parts laid-back companion and backyard explorer. He's happiest lounging near his people, keeping watch over the yard, and investigating every squirrel that dares enter his kingdom.


Canelo's Highlights:

- Great with people and older children

- Does well with male and female dogs with proper introductions

-  Bilateral entropion surgery completed April 2025

- Heartworm positive; treatment fully covered by rescue


Canelo Quirks:

- Not interested in toys or fetch

- Chirps at squirrels instead

- Loves physical contact while sleeping

- Gets the zoomies, smacks you with a paw, and runs away like it's the funniest thing in the world


Ideal Home:

Canelo has a strong prey drive, so no cats or small animals. He is working on resource guarding around food with other dogs and should be fed separately. He has no history of bites, fights, or aggression.


Canelo is currently being fostered in San Antonio, TX.

Pringles

 Some days, the energy just feels softer — and Pringles fits right into that calm. On mellow afternoons, all he wants is a little time outside to sniff the air, take in his surroundings, and settle in to watch the chickens before curling up for a nap on the back step.

Pringles is wonderfully easygoing and well-mannered outdoors. He enjoys his time outside without digging or being destructive, content to relax and quietly observe the world around him. When he hears the chickens or pigs behind the play yard, he’ll slowly wander over with calm curiosity, watch for a bit, and then return to his nap like it’s all part of the routine.

He’s also shown that he can enjoy the company of other dogs — recently making a mellow, laid-back male friend. Pringles was happy to sniff and say hello before heading back to his favorite pastime: chicken-watching.

And of course, there’s his prized possession — a Kong toy. Anytime someone walks by, Pringles is quick to grab it and proudly show it off, as if to say, “Look what I have.” Pringles would thrive in a home that appreciates a dog who doesn’t need chaos to be happy — just steady routines, gentle companionship, and space to relax.


Pringles is currently being fostered in New Braunfels, Texas.  

Harley

 Harley may share a name with a legendary motorcycle, but this sweet girl prefers to take life in the slow lane.


One of the Motor Club Pups, Harley was born in her foster home and has grown up in a great environment alongside her siblings. She’s a sensitive, cautious girl who can find new experiences a little overwhelming and needs time to warm up and feel safe.

Harley is looking for a patient, understanding family who will let her move at her own pace and help her discover just how good life can be. With consistency, reassurance, and plenty of love, we know this sweet girl has so much potential to blossom. She’s not ready to race through life — she just needs someone willing to enjoy the ride with her.

A few things to know about Harley:
- 44 pounds
- Crate trained
- Leash trained
- Shorter coat than a typical chow
- Sweet personality

Harley’s perfect person is out there. Someone who understands that sometimes the dogs who take a little longer to trust are the ones who make the journey extra special. 


Harley is currently being fostered in Hallsville, TX.

Scout

  Looking for a loyal adventure buddy with a heart of gold? Scout is ready to be your best friend!


Scout is a little over 1 year old with the perfect combination of playful energy and a sweet, affectionate personality. Whether you're looking for a hiking buddy, a walking partner, or a companion for everyday life, Scout is ready for the job.


He is a sweet boy from a litter called the “Motor Club Pups”. He was born in his foster’s home, so he and his siblings have been raised together with excellent care! Scout would thrive with a dog companion, and is used to playing in a group with his foster siblings. No signs of resource guarding with food or toys, and loves to be outside! Incredible, silky coat.


Scout has so much love to give—now he just needs someone to give him a chance. Could that be you?


Scout is currently being fostered in Hallsville, TX.

Starburst

Some dogs come into rescue quietly… and then immediately wrap themselves around your heart. That’s Starburst. 


This tiny girl may be small in size, but her spirit is enormous. At just about 1 year old and 31 lbs, Starburst has already lived through more than any dog should. She was found chained behind a home with several other dogs and somehow survived freezing conditions before animal control rescued her. When she arrived at the shelter, she was emaciated and covered in fleas — yet through it all, she never stopped being happy.

Her tail still wiggles nonstop. Her trust in people never broke. 


And what everyone notices first?

- Her adorable pure black tongue

- Her tiny size

- Her constant desire to be close to her humans


Starburst is the definition of a love bug. She wants nothing more than to climb into your lap, soak up affection, and finally belong to someone who will never leave her behind again. 


So far she has shown herself to be:

- Great with kids

- Cat approved 

- Friendly with other dogs

- Extremely people-focused and affectionate


She isn’t looking for perfection — just a safe home, soft place to land, and someone who will love her as much as she loves them. 


Starburst is currently being fostered in Austin, TX.

Shelby

  Big, handsome, and incredibly sweet—Shelby is the biggest of his litter, but he's truly just a gentle giant at heart. At a little over a year old, this lovable boy is ready to trade rescue life for a family of his own. If you're looking for a loyal companion with a calm, affectionate personality (and the softest coat you've ever felt), Shelby just might be your perfect match!


Shelby‘s leash manners are a work-in-progress, but he is making strides at each lesson. We don’t recommend a home with any small children due to his size and young energy. 


Shelby is currently being fostered in Hallsville, TX.
