Dogs for Adoption in Barrett, TX: 20 Dogs Looking for a Home

She tries to get the collie to chase her, and she loves to chase the ball. Grace is pretty much house trained. The only time she's had accidents is when we leave the house for a few hours. I am working on getting her to use the pee pad during those times. It's going well, but she's not 100% perfect yet. Grace does not seem to have any separation anxiety, but she has two other dogs here to hang around with when we're gone. No destructive behaviors (like chewing); no excessive barking. The only time she barks is when someone comes to the house. She is good on the leash and in the car. We have really loved having her with us. She has been really easy to take care of.

Because my previous household was quiet, when I first arrived in my foster home, I was very fearful and shy because of the robust dog and cat activity. Fortunately, Foster Mom knew that it would take time and patience for me to adjust into my new “digs,” and with her gentle voice and affectionate touch, she has been showing me that I am securely loved, and --voilà! – watching me blossom has been something truly special for her. My prior owners had not trained me well, but Foster Mom is helping me work on my housetraining and crate-training – let’s just say that I’m a work-in-progress.

Now I’m looking for the family who will welcome me into my forever household. If you have a quiet home and a little patience, I think we might be exactly who each of us has been waiting for. Arrange to meet me today! My heart has so much love to give – all I need is YOU!

I was happily situated in my adoptive home, along with my little buddy King, until my hooman mom was hospitalized and my elderly hooman dad could not care for the two of us. Thank heavens my new foster mom opened her arms and home to both of us until we can find a new home. If you’re looking for a sweet scruffy terrier who’s just the right size – not to small and not too large – I’m the loving boy made to order for you. Arrange to meet me today, and see if I don’t cause love and laughter to echo throughout your house among you and your kids.

I have an adorable personality – although I rarely like to be held -- and I love to run and have fun. Although I’d probably be good around kids, Foster Meowmy prefers my forever family to be toddler-free. I’d probably be good around cats, but I can’t promise that I wouldn’t chase them! I get startled by large dogs, so Foster Mom is insisting that I be adopted into a home with no large dogs. Actually, I'd shine the most if there's only a small, male dog to be my buddy or if I'm an only dog-child.

Foster Mommy noticed that my sisters, Lili and Luna, and I were kept outside by my owners. After expressing her concern to them that we weren’t meant to be strictly outdoor dogs, she was able to persuade them to surrender us to her. They admitted that they couldn’t financially afford to keep us anyway. I weighed 8 pounds at 3 months old and should weigh up to 15 pounds at maturity.

Now I’m ready to become the jaunty, lively new addition to my forever family. In fact, I dream about running around in the backyard with everyone and then collapsing in their laps while we watch TV together. Could that be you? Arrange to meet me today! I promise we’ll fall head over paws in love with each other the instant we meet!

Foster Mom assumes that I was someone’s lost or abandoned pet because I’m great with kids as well as the resident cats and I’m already housetrained. With my engaging disposition, it's no surprise that I’m ecstatic when I see her!
Now I’m ready to bring my winsome personality and relaxed tranquility to bless my forever family. Could that be you? Arrange to meet me today! I promise that we’ll fall head over paws in love with each other the instant that we meet!

Hey there, everyone! I’m Kathy, a sweet, friendly, and affectionate fawn and white Chihuahua mix gal who absolutely loves when Foster Mom pets me. It’s understandable that I need all the reassurance of love that she gives me because my former owners abandoned me and my friend Kate in the backyard when they moved out. Once I arrived at my foster home, it didn’t take long for my heart to heal, and now I’m all wiggles and wags. Sometimes I can be a bit jealous of other dogs, but generally I get along well with the small dogs in my foster home, and I hit it off great with the resident cats and well as the grandkids when they come to visit.

I do best with lots of close family contact. Wouldn’t you know that cuddling in Foster Mom’s lap is my favorite spot and where I require plenty of quality time? My size makes me an ideal apartment dog, but I relish my daily exercise. Nothing makes me happier than for Foster Mom to invest her time and energy into treating me like a big dog. I make it easy for her because I already walk well on a leash. Plus I’m kennel-trained.

Unfortunately, one of the consequences of having irresponsible owners the first time around is that I tested a light positive for heartworms. I’m currently undergoing the Moxi-Doxy treatment protocol, which HOPE will pay for until it is completed. Given my young age and good general health, I’m expected to make a complete recovery.

Now I’m ready to bring my happy and adoring self to bless my new forever family. Could that be with you? Then arrange to meet me today! My heart has so much love to give – all I need is YOU! Although we’re available separately, Kate and I think it would be the cat’s meow if you were looking for a matched pair of fawn and white Chihuahuas and adopted both of us!

And water is definitely Sailor’s happy place. He LOVES swimming, playing fetch in a pool or lake, and enthusiastically “attacking” the spray from a garden hose. He does great on a pontoon boat and would probably take well to paddleboarding or canoeing with a little training. On trails, he has excellent recall off leash and loves getting out to explore.

For all his adventurous energy, Sailor is just as happy relaxing at home. He loves being near his people and curling up on the couch. He is crate trained and willingly goes into his kennel—often choosing to rest there on his own. He also rides calmly in the car, including on long trips.

Sailor has had three weeks of professional sleep-away training and knows a great list of commands, including heel, sit, stay, down, place, kennel, here, “leave me alone,” and more. He walks nicely on leash and is very food motivated. His all-time favorite treat is hard-boiled egg yolk; he can hear the little “tap tap” of an egg on the counter from practically anywhere in the house and will come running! He also has excellent house manners and does not chew things that aren’t his toys.

Sailor would thrive best as the only pet in the home. Cats are far too intriguing and, in his opinion, clearly meant to be chased. He has done well with some smaller dogs, particularly more submissive females. On walks, he is generally easy to redirect around other reactive dogs, although he may respond if another dog surprises or challenges him through a fence.

Most of all, Sailor loves being part of his family. He wants to be included, whether that means heading out for an adventure or hanging out together at home. He would do best in an adults-only household or a home with older teenagers.

Sailor’s current family loves him deeply and is heartbroken to be looking for a new home for him. Before they adopted him, Sailor had spent about two years living in a kennel. Sailor is comfortable with affection from adults—even big hugs—but he is uneasy about being touched by young children, likely because of something in his life before he joined the family.

Because their children understandably want to love on him, his family has made the difficult decision that Sailor deserves a home where everyone can feel comfortable and where he can truly thrive.

Sailor has already been through a lot, and he has so much love, fun, companionship, and adventure left to give. In the right home—one without young children and preferably without other pets—he is going to make someone an incredibly devoted best friend.

Please share and help us find Sailor the home he deserves.

This sweet girl doesn't know she's different. She wakes up every day ready to love, play, and enjoy life. She has the happiest spirit and the kindest heart. Mina absolutely adores other dogs and would love a playful canine sibling who can be her best friend. Watching her play is enough to make anyone smile.

Mina does have some special needs. She struggles with potty training and may never be fully potty trained, so she will need a patient, understanding home that can love her exactly as she is. Someone who sees past the challenges and sees the incredible dog underneath.

Because underneath it all is a young girl who just wants what every dog wants—a soft bed, a loving family, and someone to tell her she is perfect.

We know taking on a dog like Mina may not be for everyone. But we also know there is someone out there whose heart is big enough to fall in love with her wobbly walk, her silly quirks, and her endless capacity for love.

Mina deserves a chance. She deserves a foster home. She deserves a forever home. Most of all, she deserves someone who will love her for exactly who she is.

If you are interested in fostering or adopting Mina, please let us know and we will connect you with the Friends of BARC team.

Sometimes the dogs who need a little extra help end up giving the most love in return!
