Our Adoptable Pets

Vinny

Vinny has been on a long journey in search of his forever family. He’s made remarkable progress recovering from his hip surgeries but still has a few special needs, including managing his goopy eyes and impaired vision. His recent visit to the eye specialist brought good news—his first entropion surgery was a success, and his new eye drops are helping him feel much better.

About Vinny:

- 3-year-old black Chow mix; 54 lbs

- Friendly and sweet personality

- Independent

- Loves spending time with his people and always has a smile

- Gets along well with his foster siblings

Vinny’s sight impairment doesn’t hold him back from enjoying life. He loves to run, keep an eye out for squirrels, and go on car adventures. Groomers describe him as a true love bug. Though he may seem independent at first, once he gets to know you, he’ll shower you with affection and loyalty. While he hasn't been tested with other dogs, a careful introduction is recommended as he isn’t dog-reactive.

Vinny is currently located in Tulsa, OK.

Sampson

Sampson is a gorgeous 7yo weighing in at around 50lbs. This boy is a total lovebug! He just wants all the pets, chest rubs, and games of fetch he can handle! Sampson LOVES toys. He is still a spry pup who enjoys playing and getting attention. He takes treats gently and is very food motivated, which makes for easy training. Sampson does great on a leash and is a nice walking companion. Sampson prefers to be the only fur baby in the home, so no children, dogs or kitties for this pup.

Sampson is currently located in Austin, TX.

Cookies N Cream

Cookies N Cream is checking in with some exciting news! She’s loved her recent pup dates and is finally showing her sweet personality. Now, she's ready for her forever home! Cookies N Cream is affectionate and playful. She has a bit of an alpha personality but is well-socialized with other dogs, so she would be fine with canine siblings or as an only dog.

She does have a high prey drive, so she most likely will not do well with cats. She is house and doggy door trained, does well on walks, and loves her people!

If Cookies N Cream has captured your heart, please fill out an adoption application!

Cookies N Cream is currently located in Norman, OK.

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.

Mocha

Mocha is ready for her second chance at finding a loving forever family. This affectionate 2-year-old is full of energy and a zest for life. She is a quick learner and has already mastered numerous commands. She is also very food and toy motivated, which will assist with further training. Mocha loves having a spacious yard to run and play. She needs a home without cats, and while she may be fine with a dog sibling, she still needs practice socializing and may be happiest as an only dog.

Mocha is currently located in Spring, TX.

Chip

Chip is a 1-year-old pup weighing just 39 lbs. He's incredibly snuggly and easygoing. He's been great with other dogs. His foster is also testing his behavior with cats. So far, Chip has only shown curiosity without any fixation. With proper training, he could likely be content in a home with cats.

He has settled in nicely with no food guarding issues. He went straight to his foster without having to go through any shelter trauma, and it's showing. He loves to snuggle up against his foster dad and doesn't bark, although he does make some silly whimpers. Chip is not overly playful but prefers to hang out close to his people. Although he is not food-motivated, he does respond well to praise and affection.

Chip is currently located in San Marcos, TX.

LaQuinta (Lala)

La Quinta, affectionately known as Lala, is a 1-year-old smooth-coated Chow Chow who came to us from the New Braunfels shelter. She has suffered severe hair loss on her back due to chemical burns, which might have been caused by cheap topical flea prevention or a severe flea infestation. Lala is very sweet and people-oriented, always wanting to be near her human companions. While generally low-key, Lala gets the zoomies twice a day, showing off her playful energy.

Lala enjoys playing with other dogs and has shown little interest in cats, which means she may be compatible with a feline sibling, given proper introductions. In addition, she is highly motivated by treats and food, which can be useful for training and bonding.

LaQuinta (Lala) is currently located in Magnolia, TX.
