Krissy
Krissy New!

Available Since: April 17, 2026

Breed: Terrier Mix

Age: Young

Description: At only 8 months old, Krissy already has the basics down. She is dog friendly, house trained, kennel trained, and knows exactly where to do her business like a good girl. Krissy absolutely loves car rides, and her favorite thing to do is stick her nose out the window, soaking up the wind in her face. She’s also a big fan of pup cups and will happily be your co-pilot for any snack run. Krissy is looking for someone adventurous and fun to share life with! Could that be you?

Lady Bug
Lady Bug

Available Since: October 6, 2025

Breed: Mixed Breed

Age: Adult

Description: This timid little girl is as gentle as her name and has the sweetest, most loving personality once she feels safe. She would love nothing more than to cuddle and lounge the day away by your side. Lady Bug came to us from Smith County Animal Control after they put out an urgent plea for help due to limited space. Shortly after coming to us from Smith County, we discovered that Lady Bug had developed a mammary tumor. She underwent surgery, bravely fought cancer, and now she is beyond ready to start her next chapter!!

Mary
Mary

Available Since: March 17, 2026

Breed: Mixed Breed

Age: Young

Description: Mary is a 25 lb sweetheart (fully grown) who came to us from Smith County Animal Control & Shelter after they put out a plea for space. She is completely deaf; however, that simply means she experiences the world a little differently and it makes her even more special. Mary thrives on companionship and would do best in a home where someone is around most of the time. Whether it’s a family with a stay at home routine or a retired individual looking for a loyal shadow, Mary is ready to fill that role perfectly. She isn’t a fan of being alone, but give her a cozy spot near her favorite person (or a comfy couch), and she’s completely content. When it’s time to rest, Mary curls up into the tiniest little ball, it’s impossible not to smile when you see her like that. Because she is deaf, Mary will need a patient adopter who is willing to communicate with her in ways she understands.

What he wants most is a calm, loving home and someone who doesn’t mind a quiet shadow following them from room to room. If you’ve got space in your life for a giant sweetheart who just needs a lot of love, Mellow might be your perfect match.

Available Since: April 20, 2026

Breed: Mixed Breed

Once she feels comfortable, her affectionate side really shines. She loves to snuggle up close and would happily curl right next to you in bed if you let her. She is a 1 year old Terrier mix with a sweet, thoughtful personality and a heart that is ready to bond deeply. Reba is kennel trained, potty trained, and walks nicely on a leash, making her an easy addition to a home ready for a well-mannered companion. Reba would thrive in a big, loving family where she has plenty of people to adore, and she has plenty of love to give right back.

Remington
Remington

Available Since: May 27, 2025

Breed: Red Heeler

Age: Adult

Description: Remington is a 1 year old Red Heeler with a heart as big as Texas. This tough little guy was hit by a car on Hwy 31 in Tyler TX, and both of his front legs had to be rebuilt with orthopedic surgery, but you’d never know it now! He’s made a full recovery and lives every day like it’s his best one yet. Remington is a very social and happy boy who loves to run, romp around the yard, and make friends wherever he goes. He is already house trained, kennel trained, potty trained, and knows how to sit. As a bonus, he loves to wear clothes and will happily model for you any day of the week. This good boy has been waiting far too long for a family to call his own. He would thrive in a big active home with lots of kids and other dogs to play with, but he’s adaptable and would also be perfectly happy in a smaller household or even as your one and only. What matters most to Remington is having people to love, and he has plenty of that to give right back.
