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.

Dolly is just a doll! Found in the area a Good Samaritan took her to urgent care for some wounds on her body, then called us. This sweet, sweet girl is potty trained, walks well on a leash and is affectionate. The vet estimates her to be around 6 yr old. We are getting her all caught up and ready for her fur-ever home.

Say hello to Hank, originally named Pollux when we rescued him in April of 2021. He was one of three dogs who were roaming in East Texas and stopped for a while at a sheep farm. The LGDs protecting the sheep didn't appreciate unknown dogs hanging around, so we were called in to help. We picked up two handsome boys plus a beautiful girl, and we named them Castor, Pollux, and Gemini. We took care of their veterinary needs and put them to work in our pastures. All three dogs were adopted as working livestock guardians. Hank was adopted to protect chickens and other fowl.
