I wish I could tell you my story… but I'd rather show you how much LOVE I have to give. My name is Beetlejuice (61922626), and I'm a darling 4-month-old Weimaraner mix. I came to the shelter with my right ear partially turned and bite marks on the other. I can't tell you what happened, but I do know one thing… I want my future to be so much happier than my past.

Meet Duke! This 3-year-old, 70 lb. guy is smart, loyal, and full of personality. He's crate trained, knows his basic commands, walks well on a leash, and is eager to learn.

Duke loves toys, running and playing outside (supervised), and spending time with his people. He's also a big cuddle bug who thinks he's a lap dog and is happiest getting attention and belly rubs.

Meet Holly! This sweet, gentle girl is approximately 4-5 years old and 57 lbs. After being found by a kind citizen, her previous owner was located through her microchip but was sadly unable to take her back due to life circumstances. Now she's in foster care she's ready for a fresh start with a family of her own.

Holly is a little shy when meeting new people, but once she feels comfortable, she loves pets and attention. She's generally calm but enjoys getting outside to run and play, especially with her best friend Duke. She also rides well in the car and enjoys the company of other dogs.

Hi, I'm Pedro, and yes, the smile is real. I know, it's pretty adorable. I'm a 3-year-old Boston Terrier boy weighing in at a perfectly portable 30 pounds, and my favorite hobby is being wherever you are. Going to the kitchen? I'll supervise. Watching TV? I'll be your cuddle buddy. Taking a car ride? Call me your co-pilot. I love absolutely everyone I meet and make friends faster than you can say, "good boy." Dogs? Love them. Cats? Love them too. Kids? Yep, they're great! My foster cat sibling and foster doggy brother are some of my favorite pals, especially when it's time to play outside.Speaking of playtime, I love running around the yard, hanging out with my doggy friends, and showing off my excellent recall. But don't let that fool you into thinking I'm some wild party animal. I'm actually a pretty relaxed dude who believes life is all about balance: a little play, a little adventure, and a whole lot of snuggling. I've got all the important grown-up skills, too. I'm house trained, crate trained, leash trained, and even know how to use a doggy door. Basically, I'm the total package. My dream home? One where I'm loved, included in the fun, and maybe have a furry sibling or two to hang out with. In return, I'll provide companionship, cuddles, smiles, and expert-level shadowing services. So, what do you think? Ready to have the cutest sidekick you've ever met? I know I can't wait to meet my forever family. My adoption fee is $400.

Feyre, pronounced FAY-RUH, is named after the brave, strong heroine of the ACOTAR book series. Feyre loves people, loves other dogs and is super playful. Her perfect evening consists of play time (she loves to fetch) or a walk, followed by snuggles on the couch. It's a big plus if belly rubs are included.

Feyre's start in life wasn't ideal - at 1 year old she's already had a litter of pups and been dumped at the shelter with them. Luckily they made it into a foster home, she raised her pups, and now she's ready to start her new life!

Moose gets along with the other dogs in his foster home, all sizes and ages, but is especially fond of the smaller dogs. He does not live with cats but was fine with the ones he has been exposed to.Moose loves attention and meeting new friends. He likes to go for rides and is great on a leash, sowith a little help getting in a vehicle, he would be a great travel companion.

Sydney is a total love bug, happy, outgoing, and just wants to be with her human(s) as much as possible. She is still a young girl with lots of puppy attitude, so she is fairly high-energy and determined to learn as much as she can about how to be a very good girl. She lives with lots of other dogs and gets along with most everyone, any age or size. She has been very good around cats although she does not live with them.Sydney is house- and crate-trained, although she must go out on a regular basis; she will use a potty pad if she has to be alone for a long period. Even though she is a counter surfer, she does not destroy her finds; she likes to lie on whatever she can pull down.

Hunny is six and a half years old and 47 lbs. as of October 2026. She's being surrendered by her family for not getting along well with other dogs. She's very loyal and loves lounging around with her people. While Hunny gets along great with cats, she needs to be in a home without kids or other dogs. She is house and crate trained.

She is spayed, vaccinated, and heartworm negative. Stay tuned for more info as we get to know Hunny. Her adoption fee is $125 and you can apply online to meet her here: https://legacyhumanesociety.org/owner-surrender-form/

I'm Pepper. My rescuers say I am the sweetest dog. They say I must have been on my own for a while, starved for attention, but now I am a big love sponge.I love learning new things and staying close to my peoples and my rescue family. For the first day or so, I would not let them out of my sight, but now I hang out with the other kids when they are busy, and I am ready if something needs my attention. I am a pretty good judge of that, if I do say so myself.Still learning to be a family dog, but I am liking what I'm experiencing so far. I think my favorite new thing is snuggling close to my person. Next would be wrestling with my brother Wolfie.Want a dog that can melt your heart with her soulful eyes? Then I am your girl.

Josie here, reporting for duty... and by duty, I mean collecting cuddles, chasing tennis balls, and making sure everyone knows I'm the sweetest little Frenchie around! I'm a 3-year-old French Bulldog weighing in at a perfect 25 pounds of squishy, adorable goodness. I absolutely love people and thrive on attention. If you're looking for a little shadow with a big heart, look no further. I came into my foster home like I already owned the place, confidently making myself comfortable and charming everyone I met. I've got good manners, too! I'm housetrained, know how to use a dog door, and I'm crate trained. I can show off my smarts by sitting on command and shaking with both my left and right paws. Pretty impressive, right? I also ride great in the car, so I'm always ready for adventures or errands by your side. When it comes to friends, I'm easygoing and gentle. I get along wonderfully with dogs of all ages and sizes, and I enjoy meeting new people. Whether you're a senior looking for a devoted companion or a family wanting a loving pup to complete your home, I'm happy to spread my affection around. My energy level is on the lower side, but don't mistake that for boring. I still love to play, especially if there's a ball involved! Balls are my absolute favorite toys. Now, I do have one very important quirk my future family needs to know about. You see, I have an unfortunate talent for finding socks and swallowing them whole. Socks, small toys, and other little items left on the floor are simply too tempting for me. Because of this, I need a home with adults or older children who can be diligent about keeping things picked up. Trust me, we'll all be happier if the socks stay in the hamper where they belong! My dream home is one filled with love, attention, belly rubs, and people who want a loyal little companion by their side. If you're looking for a gentle, cuddly Frenchie who will happily ride shotgun, snuggle on the couch, and steal your heart (but hopefully not your socks), I think we might be the perfect match. My adoption fee is $700.

If interested in adopting, please contact: foster@collincountytx.gov
