Dogs for Adoption in Delta County, TX: 30 Dogs Looking for a 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.

Moose was seized in a cruelty case; we do not know the story, but he has been the best boy since getting with us. He had about given up, but once he knew he was safe and cared for, he really excelled; he even gets the zoomies; he is so happy. 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.

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.

Oskar was surrendered to us by his family when they lost the lease on their farm. They had bought him from a breeder who said he is Anatolian Shepherd mixed with Central Asian Shepherd. Our website doesn't include Central Asian Shepherd as one of the breeds we can choose, probably because the breed is not very common in the USA. Oskar was raised with Boer goats, and since moving to Windsong Ranch, he has been guarding Nigerian Dwarf goats.

Robert the Bruce comes from a litter of puppies who were born on a ranch in Central Texas. They were exposed to Boer goats and longhorn cattle from the very beginning. And LOTS of dogs -- the ranch started with a handful of livestock guardian dogs (LGDs), and didn't spay/neuter any of them, so before you know it, he had more than 60 dogs and puppies, all growing up completely feral. Since March 2024, we've been trapping and removing as many as we can, and as of June 2025, we have removed 50 dogs and puppies from this one ranch. More remain, so this is an ongoing project and we won't rest until every dog has been spayed/neutered and vaccinated.

She is spayed, fully vetted, microchipped, current on vaccinations, and current on heartworm and flea and tick prevention.Nala came to Hillcrest Animal Rescue after being dumped by a breeder.

Leroy is a big, handsome Anatolian Shepherd and Great Pyrenees mix who was born November 24, 2025. He weighs about 85 pounds and has a beautiful long coat of brown, tan, black, and white.Leroy was just a puppy when his rescue angel found him sitting in the middle of the road waiting for someone to save him. He was the only puppy in his foster home, but that didn't stop him from quickly befriending all the adult dogs. Leroy still thinks he runs the place. He loves to play with dogs of every size and is surprisingly gentle with the little ones, even though he is now a big boy who can easily keep up with the larger dogs.Leroy is happiest at home with his people and his dog friends.

Gravy was rescued and adopted in 2019, and had a good life for several years. Then another dog was added to the family, and after 6+ months of living in peace, the dynamic changed for some reason. Gravy and the new dog just didn't seem to be capable of getting along any more and we can't say why. We agreed that Gravy should come back to Bluebonnet so we could find a new home for her.

This handsome boy needs a very special person in his life, as he struggles to trust many humans. Prince might like someone immediately, but it is rare. He did not like his foster mom at all initially, but now he is loving and adoring of her. He is an outgoing and fun dog once he chooses to trust someone; otherwise, he makes it clear that he prefers to be left alone. Prince lives with many other dogs and is exceptionally playful with the smaller dogs in his home. He has not been cat tested, but ignores the cats in their catio in his foster home. He has learned to accept and walk on a leash and even enjoys going for walks now.

Hi, I’m Princess... I was seized from Collin County as an animal cruelty case with demodex mange that was so bad I had no fur. I’d been thrown out in the back yard and just left until I was skin and bones. My fur has grown back in thanks to my angels and All Heart Veterinary Clinic and Hillcrest. I’m a shepherd mix, weigh about 30 pounds and my approximate date of birth is 2/17/15. I’m timid when I meet new people. I have great house manners and play well with others although the best fit for me would probably be in a home as an only dog. I do bark for attention and am a little neurotic so I’m going to need a special person to love me and work with me.

Racine had her DNA tested, and the results revealed that she is 60 percent American Staffordshire Terrier, 22 percent German Shepherd, 15 percent American Pit Bull Terrier, and 3 percent Bulldog. This would explain her high energy level and intensity. She is very intelligent and would love the job of protecting your family and doing whatever you ask of her.She came into rescue when her previous family decided to euthanize her when she was nine months old instead of training. After getting her as a puppy, they did nothing to help her learn to be a good family member. Luckily, the vet they took her to realized she was not the problem and had a lot of potential.

Meet Rosie!Rosie is a beautiful black mixed-breed girl with a distinctive white blaze on her chest and a heart full of love waiting to be shared. She and her brother Sam were rescued from a convenience store in Frisco about three years ago. Sam has since found his forever home, and now it is time for Rosie to find hers.At first, Rosie can be a little shy when meeting new people, but once she warms up, her sweet and loyal nature shines through. She has blossomed in our care, transforming from a quiet observer into a loving companion who now seeks out head rubs and enjoys being close to her person.

Ruby Monday is a total love bug who was unfortunately dumped at a high-kill shelter when her previous family moved without her. She lives with many other dogs in her foster home and gets along well with everyone, except when someone gets into an altercation. She thinks she is supposed to end all spats, so we never leave her with the other dogs unattended. For this reason, she would do better in a home as an only furkid or with an experienced owner.Ruby loves humans of all sizes and ages. She is a cuddlebug who loves to go for car rides and walks. It is hard to believe she's a senior with her energy and happy, outgoing nature.

Trip had to have his leg amputated as it healed improperly after it was broken while he was a growing puppy. However, he is one of the happiest, silliest boys you could hope to meet. He lives with many other dogs and is a favorite playmate for most of them. He loves all his canine buddies and is also fine around cats. Trip loves all humans he meets and would be a great addition to any home looking for a playful, outgoing dog. He is crate-trained primarily and will ask to go outside; however, he has not been able to stay up for longer than overnight without a potty break. He does not get many chances to go for car rides, but enjoys it when he can. Trip is fully vetted - current with all vaccines, on heartworm and flea/tick prevention, neutered and microchipped.

Tulip is the epitome of devotion and love; she is just waiting to give her all to someone and have her forever home.

She is good at walking on a leash, loves car rides, and would be a great go-everywhere girl.Tulip is fully vetted - current with all vaccines, spayed, microchipped, and on flea/tick andheartworm prevention.

Wolfie was initially saved from the euthanasia list at a high-kill shelter because the staff thought he was so awesome, and was pulled by our rescue when he was placed on it again. He is a loving, outgoing boy just waiting to totally devote himself to his humans. He gets along great with other dogs as long as they are not mean to him. He plays well with all the puppers in his foster home, no matter how old, young, big, or small. He loves humans of all sizes and ages and enjoys all the attention he can get. He is calm going for rides and great on a leash, so he would be a terrific go-everywhere boy.

Amber and her sister, Margot, were dumped, and luckily, not like so many other dumped dogs that get killed or starve, they were picked up by someone in rescue. They have been together all their lives, and we would love to see them stay together if possible. So, please check out Margot too if you are interested in this sweet girl.Amber lives with lots of other dogs and gets along with everyone.

Amos got to us after he had to go from the animal shelter to the vet clinic for an amputation. We don’t know why his front left leg was so damaged. We do know that the night of his surgery he managed to rip out all of his stitches and laid his head on the vet tech’s shoulder while getting wrapped for repair surgery the next morning.He is not quite a typical Husky as he’s very laid back. He doesn’t use his voice near as often as most Huskies although he does have a little growl in his conversational voice which isn’t nearly as off-putting as it might sound.Amos has great house manners, does fine on a leash, and would be a perfect go-everywhere boy for his family.

Archer came to our rescue after being picked up as a stray. He doesn’t know his front ankles aren’t ‘normal’ as he gets around just fine. This condition is Angular Limb Disorder and attempting surgeries to resolve could make his situation worse. While he wouldn’t be a great running companion he still loves going for walks and short jogs. Long or strenuous walks could make him sore, so his family would want to avoid that as he would go if asked.This handsome boy is a happy, outgoing, gentle soul. He loves humans of all sizes and ages. Being with his humans and getting attention is his very favorite thing.

Benny is a senior boy with lots of energy, enthusiasm, love and affection. He lives with lots of other dogs and gets along with everyone. He would love to chase the cats if he could so might not be good in a home with cats. He loves a chance to use his Beagle voice but is not an excessive barker; only uses it when he has a reason. He loves being with his human almost as much as treat and meal times. He is not much for car rides, he is good about riding but whines seems nervous wondering where he’s going. Guessing in the past car rides did not end in fun activities for him. He’s a very social boy, loves humans of all sizes and ages and is always happy for rubs and attention.

Cash came to the rescue when the shelter sent him to have his fractured leg amputated at our vet clinic. He had been shot, and we have no idea of the other abuse he had suffered, but he is initially afraid of new men (fine once he learns they mean him no harm). While he is not an aggressive boy, he acts as if he could tear into someone, which can be off-putting. He is fine with women, loving, outgoing, and cuddly, especially with his foster mom. We are helping him work onhis fear, which can/will be resolved with patience and TLC.Cash lives with lots of other dogs and gets along with everyone, large and small.

Yellow labDougie is a lovely large male dog. He’s an older adult but still has plenty of energy. He is very gentle with kids and humans and gets along with most dogs but has not been around cats. He tends to have the calming influence of a Lab on a household. He should not be put into a household with another alpha male dog. He is protective of his family and home and would be great for a family looking for a dog for safety reasons. Dougie will make a fantastic dog for any family. He is housetrained and fully vetted, neutered, microchipped, and is on flea/tick and heartworm prevention. His vet records will be turned over to his adoptive parent(s).

Dozer was turned over to rescue after his previous owner lost him through the courts in a cruelty case. This poor guy has been through so much, yet he still retains the devotion and desire to please that his breed is known for.He is so enthusiastic about finally having humans who are kind and loving towards him, and a chance for a great doggie life. We are working on helping him rein in his excitement a bit and stop jumping up on humans. Once he learns this, he will excel around children and the elderly, as he genuinely loves everyone. This handsome guy is happy and outgoing, walks well on a leash, and loves going for a ride, so would love to be your go everywhere possible boy.Dozer has other dogs in his foster home, but he lacks social skills with dogs, so he should be the only dog in his forever home or have an experienced owner to help him continue developing these skills.

Margot and her sister were picked up as strays. Luckily, someone found them before they starved or were killed. She and her sister, Amber, have been together their entire lives, so we would love to see them adopted together, if possible.Both girls are athletic, but Margot so much that she can jump and climb over the fences at her foster home to go where she pleases. Luckily, she stays on her property and goes into different areas to play with the other dogs or her foster family. Her foster has not worked on trying to keep her contained, but this would be a concern until she could adjust to her new home; she does have excellent recall.

We call her Orphan Annie since we found her abandoned on a hiking trail. Sort of amazing now that we have gotten to know her and that she stayed in one place long enough to be rescued.Annie is probably a Stubby Tail Cattle Dog, very much an Australian Cattle Dog with an emphasis on being active and engaged. Annie is typical of the herding breed, meant to nip at others to direct where to go. For this reason, she would not be good in a home with young children and is the kind of girl who needs a job.Annie loves being active and into everything. She usually has two speeds, sleeping, and full blast; unless she is one-on-one with her human when she is totally engaged.

Pixel is a sweet one-year-old girl with the perfect mix of playful puppy energy and affectionate cuddle bug. At about 40 pounds, she is always ready for a game with her canine friends and would love a home where she has another playful dog or an active family to keep her entertained.Like many young dogs, Pixel is still learning her house manners. She is currently being treated for a urinary tract infection, which has made house training a little more challenging, but we expect that to improve as she finishes treatment. She is smart, eager to learn, and making great progress.When playtime is over, Pixel is happiest right beside her favorite person.
