Angel | Female | 4 Years | 71 lbs | Spayed, Vaccinated & Microchipped | House-Trained | Good with Dogs

Meet Angel—our gentle giant with a heart full of love and the most huggable spirit you’ll ever meet!

Angel is a 4-year-old, 71 lb sweetheart who wants nothing more than to be close to her people. She absolutely adores attention and affection—if she could crawl right into your lap, she would (and sometimes she tries!). Angel thrives on snuggles and belly rubs and has the silliest habit of gently jumping up to give the biggest, most heartfelt hugs.

She’s house-trained, does well on her own when left at home, and loves a good snooze in a cozy spot. Outside, Angel enjoys sniffing around the yard, watching squirrels, and zig-zagging on walks as she explores her world with curiosity and joy.

Angel loves her food—mealtime is the highlight of her day—and she’s always eager to show her appreciation with kisses and cuddles. She’s met other dogs through fencing and is curious and friendly, enjoying the sights and sniffs of new friends.

Angel’s ideal home would be one where she can soak up all the love she deserves and continue building trust. She hasn’t been tested with cats or kids, but her sweet and affectionate nature shines through with adults. If you’re looking for a loyal, goofy, and loving companion who will be your shadow and your snuggle buddy, Angel is ready to be part of your life.

Meet Jean and Eugene, two inseparable besties with a story that will melt your heart. Jean and Eugene met on the streets of Texas, where they quickly became each other’s lifeline.

Meet Parker. Your Fun-Loving, Energetic Best Friend!

Parker is a playful and affectionate Bull Terrier mix looking for an active home where he can burn off energy, continue learning, and be part of the family. If you want a dog who will keep you on your toes, make you laugh, and be your loyal companion, Parker is the perfect match.

This handsome boy is house and crate trained and does well with dogs his size or larger. However, he is not suited for homes with small animals or young children due to his energy level. He has a spirited nature and would thrive with an experienced owner who can provide structure and guidance.

Parker’s excitement for life is contagious. One of his funniest quirks is his zoomies—when he gets excited, he races around with pure joy, and if anything is in his way, it’s going down! After playtime, he’s all about cuddles, happily curling up beside you for pets and kisses. While he enjoys playing with toys, what he loves most is being part of the action, whether going for a walk, exploring outside, or simply hanging out with his favorite people.

Parker thrives on routine, starting his day with a morning walk followed by breakfast, then more walks, yard time, and play throughout the day. He enjoys staying active and needs both mental and physical stimulation to be happy.

If you’re looking for a playful, devoted companion, Parker might be the perfect fit. Apply today to meet him!
