1. Zorro
Puppy (6 months) · Male · German Shepherd Dog / Mixed (short coat) · 19 mi from Trinidad




Hi. My name is Zorro and I am a handsome German Shepherd mix. I was found abandoned in a culvert in the country with my brother, Batman. We were being fed by the Good Samaritans who found us. We got along with all of their children and animals but we were too much for them to care for in addition to their dogs, cats, and horses. Straydog came to our rescue and we are now getting our puppy vaccinations. I am very playful and like to swim and play fetch. I never meet a stranger and would love to find my forever home. Come meet me at Straydog.

Hi, my name is May. I was rescued with my puppies by a nice sameritian who found homes for all of them but sadly couldn't keep me so Straydog came to my rescue.

FREYA ROSE IS READY FOR HER FOREVER FAMILYLocation: San Antonio, TXDOB: 8/22/2022If you've ever wanted a dog who will love you with her entire heart, please meet Freya Rose. ❤️Freya is a beautiful, big-hearted Velcro dog who believes personal space is highly overrated. Her favorite place is wherever her people are—on the couch, in bed, beside you, or preferably on you. She may be a big girl, but in her mind she's just a tiny little ladybug who needs ALL the cuddles.And after the life she's had, she deserves every single one.Freya has a history of abuse, but somehow she came through it with an incredible capacity for love.

She is affectionate, happy, curious, and absolutely devoted to her humans. She doesn't like being alone and would love a home where someone is around most of the time. A few things about Freya:❤️ Loves people and attention Great with dogs Very curious about cats—she may want to chase them because she thinks they're fun, but she has shown no aggression Best with older kids because she is a BIG puppy who doesn't know her own size Housebroken Leash trained Good in the car, although she can get nervous and appreciates reassurance️ Crate trained, but she'd much rather be with her people Happy with backyard exercise and occasional walks️ Professional couch potato VERY motivated by food—and may occasionally believe your dinner is actually hers Doesn't mind baths Ridiculously photogenic A total sweetheartFreya's long legs move FAST, so walks can sometimes turn into speed-walking competitions. And despite being a large dog, she firmly believes she belongs in your lap.She also has the cutest little nub tail, complete with her own "blinker" that goes off whenever she's excited. Freya doesn't need an incredibly active home. She'd be perfectly happy hanging out with her people, enjoying a backyard, taking a walk, and then spending the rest of the day snuggled beside you.What she DOES need is a family who understands that this girl has been through a lot and deserves patience, consistency, security, and an enormous amount of love.She has spent enough of her life knowing what she shouldn't have had to know.Now she deserves to know what home feels like. Freya Rose is ready for her rainbow ending. She is not looking for a perfect family.She's looking for her family.And once she chooses you, be prepared—you may never pee alone again. ❤️Please share Freya's story.

18. Bishop
Adult · Male · Great Dane · 45 mi from Trinidad




Location: Edmond, OKMeet Bishop!Meet Bishop, a handsome Great Dane mix with a gentle heart, a loving personality, and a whole lot of affection to give! This sweet boy is happiest when he's curled up beside his favorite humans, resting his big head on their chest and soaking up all the love he can get.Bishop is a wonderful companion who enjoys the simple things in life. He's not particularly interested in playing fetch, but he does enjoy carrying around a stuffed toy and spending time in the backyard. With a moderate energy level, he's happy to enjoy some playtime before settling down for a relaxing afternoon on the couch.Personality & TemperamentBishop is incredibly sweet and affectionate with people.
Read more about Bishop
He takes treats gently, enjoys attention, and gets along wonderfully with adults and visitors. He's also done very well with children ages 11 and 12.Although Bishop has a loving nature, he can be assertive around other dogs, particularly when food is involved. He has shown food resource guarding toward his foster family's English Bulldog and is still learning appropriate boundaries when sharing space with canine companions.Bishop is responsive to correction and has already made great progress with his manners. He simply needs a patient family willing to continue providing structure, consistency, and positive reinforcement.Training & Home LifeBishop is fully house-trained, walks nicely on a leash, and travels well in the car. He's also comfortable spending time in the backyard and doesn't require an especially active lifestyle to stay content.Crate training is still a work in progress, as his comfort with being crated can vary. Overall, Bishop has a solid foundation of training and is continuing to develop his household manners.One important area of focus is his food guarding. Bishop may rush to protect his food bowl when another dog approaches, so separate feeding areas and careful management around food will be essential. His future family should be comfortable continuing to work on this behavior using positive, reward-based methods.Other Dogs, Cats & ChildrenBishop currently lives alongside an English Bulldog, although their relationship is still developing. He can be uncertain about the Bulldog's growling during play and may need guidance interpreting other dogs' behavior.His foster believes Bishop may do well with smaller dogs or a compatible female Great Dane following slow, carefully managed introductions. However, his interactions with other dogs have been limited, and compatibility will need to be assessed individually. He may also thrive as the only dog in a home where he can enjoy all the attention.Bishop has encountered cats at the veterinarian's office without showing significant interest or reactivity, but he has not lived with cats, so his compatibility with them remains unknown.He has done wonderfully with children ages 11 and 12 and is friendly and affectionate with adults, including strangers.Medical InformationBishop is heartworm-positive and will require appropriate veterinary treatment and follow-up care. His future family should be prepared to support him through his heartworm care and any necessary activity restrictions.Bishop has not yet been neutered, and his foster believes his compatibility with other dogs may improve following neutering, although this cannot be guaranteed.Bishop's Ideal HomeBishop would thrive with a loving, patient family who appreciates a big, affectionate dog and is willing to continue helping him develop his manners.A home with a predictable routine, clear boundaries, and plenty of opportunities for cuddles would be wonderful for him. Because of his food guarding, an experienced adopter who understands resource management would be especially beneficial.Bishop could potentially share a home with a carefully matched canine companion, but a home where he is the only dog may be the simplest fit while he continues learning.Why You'll Love BishopBishop has so much to offer. He's affection

20. Leonidas
Puppy · Male · Great Dane · 45 mi from Trinidad




Meet Leonidas (Leo)!Location: Cabot, ARDOB: 06/29/2026Meet Leonidas, affectionately known as Leo! This sweet Great Dane puppy is a gentle soul with a heart as big as his paws. Even in his playful puppy stage, Leo is remarkably calm, affectionate, and happiest when he's close to the people and dogs he loves.While most puppies are constantly on the move, Leo prefers a more relaxed lifestyle. His zoomies are short-lived, his naps are plentiful, and his favorite place is snuggled up beside someone he loves. Whether he's snoozing on the couch, soaking up the sunshine, or cuddling with his foster brother, Leo is happiest surrounded by family.Personality & TemperamentLeo is the definition of a Velcro dog.
Read more about Leonidas
He has a moderate energy level, enjoying gentle playtime and occasional bursts of puppy excitement before settling down for a well-deserved nap.Although he can be timid in unfamiliar situations, Leo warms up quickly to people who approach him calmly. He's incredibly affectionate, eager to please, and responds beautifully to patience and positive reinforcement. His sensitive nature means harsh corrections or raised voices can be especially upsetting, so a gentle, encouraging approach is essential.Training & Home LifeAs a young puppy, Leo is still learning and will need a family committed to continuing his training.House-training is a work in progress. Leo is uncomfortable going into the backyard alone and needs a trusted human beside him to feel safe enough to potty. He's making steady progress, with accidents becoming less frequent.Leo is also working through some separation anxiety. He willingly enters his crate and has gradually become comfortable spending up to an hour alone during the day. At night, he sleeps in his crate beside his foster brother, which helps him feel secure.Leash training is another work in progress, as Leo currently finds the leash intimidating. Thankfully, he does well in the car and may eventually become a wonderful adventure companion!Leo is highly food-motivated, making positive reinforcement training especially effective. Like most puppies, he enjoys chewing but is easily redirected to appropriate toys. He's also remarkably gentle with his mouth and rarely engages in typical puppy biting.Other Dogs, Cats & ChildrenLeo shares his foster home with an 11-month-old male Labradane, and the two have developed a wonderful friendship. Although initially nervous, Leo gained confidence through his foster brother's patient companionship. They now enjoy playing and napping together.He would likely thrive with another calm, respectful large dog who can help him continue building confidence. Smaller dogs may find his playful paws and enthusiasm overwhelming, as he doesn't always recognize his size.Leo has also done well with his foster family's elderly cat, even enjoying cuddles together. However, he may chase cats that run, so any feline companions should be calm and dog-savvy, with supervised introductions.Leo has met children aged 10 and older and has done well. Younger children may initially intimidate him, so a home with older, respectful children would likely be the best fit.Medical InformationLeo has been experiencing allergies, although the exact cause remains unknown. Possible triggers include previous flea exposure, chicken, or environmental allergens.His foster family is transitioning him to a salmon and sweet potato diet, and an allergy injection provided noticeable relief within 24 hours. His future family should be prepared to continue monitoring his allergies and working with their veterinarian as needed.Leo's Ideal HomeLeo would thrive in a calm, loving home with patient humans and preferably another gentle, well-socialized large dog to help show him the ropes.He needs a family who understands that he's still a puppy and will require continued house-training, leash training, and confidence-building. Because he struggles with being alone, a home where someone is around frequently would be ideal.As his c

Adopting a dog in Trinidad
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
