Available Animals
Adele
Available Since: January 29, 2026
Breed: Belgian Malinois
Age: Adult
Description: Adele is a young Belgian Malinois who is incredibly smart, deeply loyal, and very loved. She is easily one of the smartest dogs we’ve ever worked with and has an uncanny ability to figure things out. She can open doors, carabiners, and latches. Her intelligence is impressive and very true to her breed. She is the kind of dog who bonds hard with her people and takes her role as a protector seriously. Because of that, Adele truly needs to be the only dog in the home. Adele is more of a guardian than a laid back family pet. She will be completely devoted to her person and will love and protect them with everything she has. With people, she is affectionate, confident, and does well with children, she just doesn’t enjoy sharing her space with other dogs. She is very active and loves to play. Chasing a ball or frisbee is one of her favorite things, and she’s a big fan of swimming too. She has no problem putting on her life jacket and jumping into the pool. Adele is house trained, kennel trained, and fully potty trained. She does great for baths and is happiest chewing on her favorite bones. She is fully vetted and has had a preventative stomach tack, which speaks to just how athletic she is. Adele can easily clear 10 feet in the air. This girl is all about movement, purpose, and adventure. Adele is looking for an experienced, committed home that understands the Malinois breed and is excited about having a loyal, protective companion. In the right environment, she will be an incredible partner and a once in a lifetime dog.
Angel
Available Since: April 11, 2026
Breed: Shepherd Mix
Age: Adult
Description: Angel is a 55 lb Shepherd mix with a big affectionate heart and easygoing nature. One of Angel's favorite things in the world is splashing around in the pool. She also has an impressive talent for catching treats mid-air and will gladly show off her skills for a snack. When playtime is over, Angel is more than happy to curl up beside you for cuddles. Angel was picked up by Smith County Animal Control & Shelter after being left behind when her family moved away. Despite being left behind, she remained loyal to her home and never wandered far from the yard she knew was hers. That quiet devotion speaks volumes about her character. Angel is ready for a fresh start with a family who will never leave her behind again.
Beauty
Available Since: May 27, 2026
Breed: Mixed Breed
Age: Adult
Description: Beauty is a little over 1 year old and just like her sister Foxy, she is looking for a patient forever home that understands she needs a little time to adjust and build confidence. After being dumped behind a storage facility as a puppy, she grew up fearing the world and trusting absolutely no one except for the one kind woman who fed her every day. When that woman had to go through cancer treatment, Beauty was too terrified to let anyone near her, and it took our rescue months of patient trapping just to bring her to safety. It has taken a lot of consistent love and patience since then, but Beauty has turned into a very sweet, affectionate girl. She is still a little skittish and timid in new situations, but she goes out of her way to show her gratitude once she feels safe.
Chachi
Available Since: July 18, 2026
Breed: Shepherd Mix
Age: Puppy
Description: Chachi is a 6-month-old Shepherd/Husky mix. He is affectionate, enjoys being petted, and forms strong bonds with his people. He adapts well to new routines and is eager to learn. Chachi already knows how to sit and is learning to lie down. He is dog friendly but will need time to decompress after spending several months in a shelter. With patience and a consistent routine, Chachi will make a loyal companion.
Cinnamon
Available Since: November 12, 2025
Breed: Mixed Breed
Age: Adult
Description: Cinnamon is a stylish, sassy little lady with a big personality and an even bigger heart. She loves playing dress-up, snuggling into her blankets, and living life at her own cozy pace — think slow walks, midday naps, and plenty of snacks. This confident girl knows exactly what she wants and isn’t afraid to show it! She’s very food motivated, cuddle obsessed, and happiest when she’s close to her people, soaking up all the love.
Coral
Available Since: May 19, 2026
Breed: Heeler Mix
Age: Adult
Description: Coral is a 2 year old Heeler mix who is both house trained and kennel trained. While she is not a high-energy dog in the sense that she needs to run miles every day, she possesses an incredibly strong working drive. She craves mental stimulation, loves having a job to do, and thrives when she is actively focused on a task. True to her breed, Coral is aloof, wary of strangers, and is not a traditionally social or friendly dog. Because of this, she strictly requires an experienced owner who fundamentally understands cattle dog behavior and can confidently manage her drive. Coral will need a home with ample space where she has a dedicated job to fulfill her natural instincts.
Diane
Available Since: May 16, 2026
Breed: Terrier Mix
Age: Young
Description: Diane is a precious little pup. Weighing only 35 pounds, she full of love, joy, and endless wiggles whenever she sees people. Her happy personality is impossible to resist, and she’s always ready to brighten your day. Diane is dog friendly, kennel trained, wonderful with children, and loves digging through her toy box for playtime.
Foxy
Available Since: May 27, 2026
Breed: Mixed Breed
Age: Adult
Description: Foxy is a little over 1 year old, and while she has come an incredibly long way, she is looking for a patient home that understands her past. She and her sister Beauty were dumped behind a storage facility as puppies, living on high alert and trusting absolutely no one except for one kind woman who fed them every day. When that woman had to go through cancer treatment, it took our rescue months of patient trapping to bring Foxy to safety because she was too terrified to let anyone close. It has taken weeks of consistent love, but Foxy has turned into a very sweet, affectionate girl. She is still a little skittish in new situations, but once she knows she is safe, she is deeply loving and so grateful.
Lady Bug
Available Since: October 6, 2025
Breed: Mixed Breed
Age: Adult
Description: Lady Bug is a sweet dog who needs a little time to feel comfortable with new people. She can be shy during her first meet-and-greets, but once she learns you come with kindness and treats, then her loyal, affectionate personality shines through. She enjoys the simple comforts in life such as soft dog beds, delicious yummy bones, and relaxing time by your side. She also loves going for walkies and exploring the world. Lady Bug came to Pawsitive Place Rescue after Smith County Animal Control & Shelter reached out to rescues with an urgent plea to help make space in their shelter. She is also a brave cancer survivor and is now healthy, and ready to find her forever home.
