Texas
5 year old Australian Cattle Dog mixTexas we estimate is about 5 years old and is a red and white Australian Cattle Dog mix, neutered male. This slice of Texas toast is ready to butter you up! He has been known to be super sweet and very excited when getting the chance to meet new people. He is food and toy motivated and knows how to sit. He cannot resist a toy and will often race around with it, throwing it in the air all by himself! He loves to chew on nyla bones and often gives kisses. Texas would do best in a home with adults.

Though she can be shy and fearful at first, once she warms up to you, she will open up a lot. Take it slow and be very gentle and she can be snuggly.

He is very protective of his owners and does not get along with strangers or other dogs. There was an incident where a minor bite occurred. He was lovable and great in the home but he felt he had to protect his owner when he was being walked. So he is best in a quiet home with a fenced in yard.

Rocko
3-year-old ChihuahuaRocko is a 3-year-old Chihuahua weighing approximately 10 pounds. His owner was moving and unable to bring him. She said he was fearful and unsocialized. He would frequently hide from them. He has improved greatly with us, but he still is not totally trusting. He tends to attach to one person and they can do no wrong in his eyes. He is affectionate but when he has enough, he will let you know. He has to be the only pet. His adoption donation is $300 which includes his neuter, vaccinations, microchip.

She has so much fun when she runs and gets the zoomies. Then she loves to just lie down and relax in the yard after her playing. She can bring a lot of joy to the right person.
