1. Livvy Lulu Coming Soon
Young (9 months) · Female · Siberian Husky (medium coat) · 24 mi from Denton


Livvy Lulu is an adorable 8–9-month-old husky girl weighing around 28–32 pounds, and she’s ready to show the world just how much love and personality she has to give. Livvy came into rescue in an emaciated condition, so her foster family is helping her safely gain weight and get stronger. Even after a difficult start, this silly puppy is full of joy, curiosity, and affection.
Livvy is wonderfully dog-friendly and loves all dogs. She also does well with cats and could happily be an only dog, making her a flexible fit for many different families. She’s best suited for a home with older children.
Read more about Livvy Lulu Coming Soon
This clever girl is house trained and crate trained. She’s surprisingly calm for a puppy, but she still loves to play, whether she’s entertaining herself, romping with another dog, or engaging with her people. Livvy is adventurous, athletic, playful, talkative, and wonderfully goofy. She’s also very smart and food-motivated, which should make training lots of fun.
Livvy absolutely loves to snuggle and will happily curl up with her favorite people after playtime. She has a sweet, affectionate nature with an independent little streak that gives her plenty of personality.
Livvy is currently working on feeling comfortable around her food bowl. She may growl when someone approaches while she’s eating, but she allows her foster family to touch the bowl and has not tried to bite. Her foster is working with her on this behavior, and she has no issues with treats or toys. Her future family should continue using patient, positive training and give her space while she eats.
Livvy Lulu hasn’t shown any interest in escaping the yard, but she’ll still need normal supervision and a secure outdoor area. With her loving personality, puppy silliness, and cuddly nature, Livvy is ready to find a family who will help her continue to thrive.
If you’re looking for a sweet, smart, snuggly puppy with a goofy side and lots of love to give, Livvy Lulu may be your perfect match.

11. Rosie
Senior · Female · Shepherd / Mixed (short coat) · 25 mi from Denton



❤️ MEET ROSIE — 14 MONTHS OF WAITING… NOW SHE NEEDS HER FOREVER HOME ❤️
Rosie’s life has not been easy.
Her family left her at a shelter, and for 14 long months, Rosie waited behind those kennel doors. Day after day, people walked past her. More than a year went by, and nobody gave her a chance.
Finally, Trinity Gap Rescue said, “Enough.” Rosie was pulled from the shelter and is now safe in a foster home. ❤️
But foster care is only the beginning of her new life. Rosie still needs a family of her very own.
Rosie is 7 years old, about 50 pounds, fully vetted, spayed and a Shepherd mix.
She is an incredibly sweet girl who craves human love and attention.
Read more about Rosie
After spending so much time alone in a kennel, she just wants to be close to her people. ❤️
And guess what? Rosie LOVES CATS!
For now, we believe Rosie would be happiest as the only dog in the home, giving her the time and space she needs to fully decompress and finally understand that she is safe.
Rosie has a wonderfully calm, chill demeanor and can be left alone in the house. She could be a great fit for either a house or an apartment.
Rosie has already lost more than a year of her life waiting behind bars. We cannot let her spend the rest of her life waiting for someone to choose her.
Could you be Rosie’s second chance?
If you are interested in adopting Rosie or would like to learn more about her, please email:

Watch Brittany Ears's videos (3)
Hi, I'm Brittany Ears. I'm a super sweet, adorable, cuddly and playful young dog! My fur is white and I'm believed to be a Great Pyrenees mix. I'm already taking to my training with my awesome foster family. I'm crate trained, already learning some basic commands and I'm getting pretty good at walking on a leash. I'm good with other dogs, cats and children that are friendly with me, too. I have had all of my primary vetting including being spayed, HW tested and I'm on prevention, vaccinations, and I'm microchipped. If you're looking for a great pup, fill out an application at FriscoHumaneSociety.com. There is no obligation, it just starts the conversation.

Bringing a dog home to your cat
Tell the rescue about your cat: their age and how they react to dogs. A dog who has lived calmly with one cat may still want to chase a cat that runs.
Introduce them slowly. Keep them apart for the first few days and swap bedding so they get used to each other's scent, then let them meet with the dog on a leash, rewarding calm behavior.
Make sure the cat can always get somewhere the dog can't reach, like a high shelf or a room behind a baby gate, and keep the litter box and cat food out of the dog's way.
