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, 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.

Sweet Girl
Sweet Girl

Available Since: June 29, 2025

Breed: Mixed Breed

Age: Adult

Description: Sweet Girl was dumped on the side of a busy highway, suffering from demodex mange and covered in fleas and ticks. After receiving much-needed veterinary care, she began her recovery in a foster home. Sweet Girl even made a TV appearance, and she was a total rockstar during her interview! Sadly, shortly after her big debut, her original foster left her behind at the station… We truly don’t understand how this lovely girl keeps getting left behind. Here’s what her current foster mom says: “Sweet Girl is a total cuddle monster. She loves being pet, snuggling with her blankies, chewing her bones, and playing with her doggy friends. She’s potty trained, kennel trained, and enjoys being outside. She’s very photogenic and craves companionship. She has some boo boos, but she’s healing beautifully and isn’t the least bit scary, just energetic and affectionate.”

Omar
Omar

Available Since: July 9, 2025

Breed: Mixed Breed

Age: Adult

Description: Omar was tagged from Smith County Animal Control after an urgent plea was sent out due to limited space. He’s a 2.5 year old neutered male shepherd mix with all the traits you’d expect from this intelligent and loyal breed. Omar is alert, people oriented, and thrives when he has a sense of purpose. He gets along well with other animals, adapts quickly to new routines, and would make a wonderful addition to an active home or a family with plenty of space for him to stretch his legs and feel included.

Amari
Amari

Available Since: August 1, 2025

Breed: Terrier Mix

Age: Adult

Description: This happy 2 year old girl has overcome so much. Found as a stray on an abandoned farm, Amari gave birth to 10 precious puppies in a dirty doghouse... she has healed fully from mange and blossomed into one of the sweetest dogs we’ve ever met. Amari is gentle, laid back, and always ready to flash her signature smile. She is house, kennel, and leash trained. She gets along wonderfully with dogs, kids, and cats. Whether she’s snuggling on the couch or just hanging out by your side, Amari’s nonchalant charm is sure to steal your heart. She’s truly one of the best.

Bronx
Bronx

Available Since: August 23, 2025

Breed: Rottweiler

Age: Adult

Description: Bronx is a cool, easygoing guy who loves being around people. He is kennel and potty trained, and walks well on a leash. Bronx has great manners but, true to his Rottweiler nature, he can sometimes be a little mischievous and stubborn. Bronx will do best with an experienced handler.

Brock
Brock

Available Since: August 30, 2025

Breed: Mixed Breed

Age: Young

Description: When we found Brock, he and his brother (Bodhi) were trapped deep inside a collapsed drainage culvert; starving, weak, and being eaten alive by parasites. No one knows how long they’d been down there, but it was clear they had been fighting to stay alive for far too long. Brock loves every person he meets and gets along with other dogs. He is happiest when it’s time to play — especially if there’s a squeaky tennis ball involved — but he’s just as content to curl up nearby and keep you company. Brock is the kind of dog who fits effortlessly into your life and would make a wonderful low maintenance companion.

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!!

Balu
Balu

Available Since: October 6, 2025

Breed: Blue Heeler Mix

Age: Adult

Description: Balu is a deaf 6 year old Blue Heeler mix with a heart of gold. When he was picked up by Smith County Animal Control & Shelter, he was protecting his two baby pups. Both of them deaf, just like him. That’s who Balu is. Loyal. Devoted. Fiercely loving. Balu loves people of all ages and is friendly with other dogs. His favorite things in life are going for walks, snuggling in bed, and happily chewing on his bones. Because Balu can’t hear, he will need an adopter who understands his unique needs. Someone patient and gentle who won’t startle him and who’s ready to embrace his different way of communicating. With the right person, Balu will be the most loyal and loving companion you could ask for.

Description: Buster Brown’s story begins on a lonely county road, where he was found standing right in the middle with no understanding of the danger around him. Covered in fleas and ticks, and faithfully waiting for someone who was never coming back, this sweet boy had been dumped and left behind. Buster is a gentle dog with a quiet, observant nature. He loves to sit back and take in the world around him, always calm, always sweet. He is a total couch potato who believes the best place to be is wherever you are. At about 80 pounds, Buster Brown is a big boy with an even bigger heart. He melts for affection, adores attention, and is ready to give his whole heart to a family who will never leave him behind again.
