Read more about Sally

Hi! Hi! Hi! Did I say hi yet? My name is Sally, but sometimes my foster mom calls me Salligator, Salmonella. I’ll respond to pretty much anything, especially when you tell me I’m a pretty girl. My fur must be velcro, because I Absolutley am stuck to my humans side
24/7
. I get anxious when you’re not around, but I promise to behave when you’re gone! That leads me to the thing they call a kennel. Can we just say, no thank you?! I am working hard on kennel training but it’s very scary for me. You see, I just want to be near and beside my humans at all times. I’m also working hard on commands. I know sit, stay, and am so close to mastering heel. I live with a thing that meows, but I really don’t mind it! I’m interested in the cat, but I don’t chase. I’ve been waiting patiently to be near the cat, and we finally sat together a few days ago! I love sleeping on the bed with my person/people. Walking? I’m a pro. I don’t pull on the leash, and I don’t zig-zag too much. If I see another dog on a walk, I just look in its direction. Call me to come and keep walking and I will! Seeing other humans on walks doesn’t bother me either. I am just eager to share my love with everyone! My foster mom says I’m one of the quietest Boxers ever… except for my snoring! I also live with tiny human that has special needs, and I’m so gentle with her! Again, just being near my humans is where I want to be. My foster mom says I’m an ambassador for being America’s Sweetheart!

Adult (1 year) · Male · Boxer (short coat) · 40 mi from Clear Lake

COMING SOON TO RESCUE: I was found as a stray. It's unclear how long I was on my own as I have a lot of defensive wounds at various stages of healing. Stay away from coyotes and don't turn your back! I'm hesitant at the moment around other dogs, but hopefully once I'm healed other animals won't feel so scary. I'm very sweet with my humans and love cuddling with the kids. I'm being crate trained and so far, it looks like I'm housetrained. I like to go for walks, even the kids can walk me. I'm fairly calm, but I'm sure once I heal, I'll be the bouncy , goofy pup I'm meant to be!

He is crate trained, a dream on his leash, and 100% unbothered. Loko’s life philosophy is simple: go with the flow, hand out big leaning hugs, and embrace everyone he meets—whether that’s other dogs, cats, or the vet giving him a checkup (he's 100% unbothered by it all). If you’re looking for a low-maintenance, high-cuddle companion who trades barks for gentle snoozes and treats every day like a lazy Sunday, Loko is ready to warm up a spot right next to you on the couch!

COMING SOON: Oh hey there, I'm basically the world's biggest, squishiest baby! Give me ALL the pets and attention—seriously, I will never say no! I'm a total goofball who loves bouncing around with my human, throwing my paws in the air like I just don't care! Crinkly foil toys? OBSESSED. Couch cuddles while binge-watching TV? Yes please! I'm super quiet (a gentleman, really) and I'll politely let you know when nature calls. Other pups? I'm SO down for playdates! I'm also a total softie around little human babies—gentle as can be. No rough stuff here—just shower me with love, toss me some good kibble, and I'm the happiest, wiggliest camper you ever did see!

Adopting a dog in Clear Lake

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.
