Clifford isn’t red. He isn’t giant. And he doesn’t have an Emily Elizabeth to call his own—yet.

What he does have is classic Lab mix energy, a heart full of love, and absolutely no concept of personal space. At just 1.5 years old, this pooch believes your bed is his kingdom—and he’ll sprawl across it like he pays the mortgage.

Ready to make room for Clifford (and maybe relocate yourself to the couch)? Meet him today at our Petco Watauga adoption event from 10 AM–3 PM. Details at hsnt.org.

Update: ADOPTED!

Poseidon is not just big—𝐡𝐞'𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞. At 140 pounds (and still gaining) and 3 years old, 𝐡𝐞’𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞, towering over most humans with paws and a head to match. Rescued from a 𝐜𝐫𝐮𝐞𝐥𝐭𝐲 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐞, this Great Dane has endured more than his fair share but 𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐚 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞.

Despite his impressive size and strength—seriously, we cannot stress this enough—Poseidon is sweet-natured and learning to walk well on specialized leashes to help manage his power. 𝙆𝙚𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙡 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙛𝙖𝙧 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙖𝙡 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙖 𝙙𝙤𝙜 𝙤𝙛 𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙢𝙖𝙜𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙪𝙙𝙚, and he’s eager for a 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐢𝐦 𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞, 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐬.

If you’re ready for a 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐠𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐭 who will turn heads and steal hearts, Poseidon is waiting at our Saxe-Forte Animal Shelter (E. Lancaster).

Meet our CBS News Texas Pet of the Week...

Crowley, the kitten who’s convinced he’s the ruler of the universe… or at least the living room. 🖤🐾

At just 9 weeks old, this tiny furball has already mastered the art of:

- Staring into your soul with the intensity of a thousand haunted eyes 👀 (don't look away, he’s already judging you).
- Mastering the chaotic zoomies that turn your house into a racetrack at 3 AM 🏃‍♂️💨.
- Purring loudly enough to drown out all of his evil plans… which, let’s face it, mostly involve knocking things off shelves.

Stay tuned, his takeover is inevitable. 😼

Come meet Crowley at our PetSmart Montgomery Adoption Event, starting at 10 AM, and see if he can convince you he's the ruler of your living room. ✨

‼️ What a testament. Garnet’s past is one she’s ready to leave behind. She’s known hardship, and uncertainty—but through it all, she never gave up. Her spirit remained unbroken, her heart still full of hope.

Now, she’s waiting at PetSmart Montgomery Plaza, ready for the future she’s always deserved. She’s treat-motivated (of course—who isn’t?), eager to learn, and longing for a family to show her what love truly feels like.

Garnet’s journey has been tough, but her best days are ahead. Will you be the one to give her the forever home she’s been waiting for?

📍 Come meet Garnet TOMORROW at PetSmart Montgomery Plaza!

Petunia is Our NBC DFW Pet of the Week! 🌟🐾

This squishy-faced queen is ready to turn heads—not just because she’s adorable, but because she’s had a little medically necessary “facelift” (aka a nasal fold resection) to keep her comfortable and happy. Think of it as a glow-up for her health!

📸 ⬇️ before photos in comments.

Petunia is all about the good life—belly rubs, snuggles, and her goofy, lovable personality. She’s the ultimate bulldog bestie, just waiting for a family to call her own!

Come meet her TODAY at PetSmart Montgomery Plaza starting at 10 AM and fall in love!

The truth is, Petunia was surrendered in rough medical shape due to a common breed-related medical issue. Her transformation has been incredible, and thanks to HSNT’s expert medical team, she’s now thriving and ready to conquer the world! 💕
