130 days….130 days of Dexter living at the Hickory Creek Animal Shelter.
Dexter is the sweetest boy who just needs someone to take a chance and meet him! Did you know he’s only had about 5 meet and greets since arriving at our facility.
A little backstory on Dexter. He was picked up by Officer Breaux after he was dumped out of an RV behind McClains RV. He began following people down the trail by the train tracks. Once he saw Officer Breaux he immediately came over and loaded right up into the truck ready to go on his next adventure. Dexter enjoys car rides, pup cups and treats. He isn’t a fan of loud toys and will try to get away from them or hide them. He really enjoys plush toys and doesn’t always tear out the stuffing. He has done really well with the kids he has met (all have been 12+ years old). He is potty trained, has leash manners and knows his basic commands. He is very calm with only his random outburst of excitement and energy. He’d do well in a quiet home or an active one. He prefers female dogs but has played with males before. He does not really like cats and will keep your yard clear of all squirrels.
He is fully vaccinated, HW Negative, Neutered, Microchipped and dewormed.
If you’d like to give Dexter a chance, reach out to us today to set up a meet and greet! Let’s find him a home he deserves!

Dexter-
This cute and funny boy has a lot of love to give to the right family. Dexter is a friendly, loyal, and gentle boy who just loves to shower his people in kisses. He's athletic and loves to run around and play, but he's also content with being a couch potato and getting all the cuddles. He's a good boy who's curious about everything around him, and he would do best in a quiet home without cats or young kids. He’s quite content with his plush toys that don’t make any noise. He does well with other dogs with a proper meet and greet! He enjoys supervising and being wherever you are. He is also exceptionally good at maintaining/trimming the grass and keeping your yard squirrel free.
If you're looking for a new best friend who will stick by your side, Dexter is the one for you! Come and meet him today and open your heart and home to this sweet boy.

Introducing Ace! This sweet boy is a 6-7 month old Belgian Malinois Black German Shepherd Mix. He is a HIGH DRIVE dog and will need someone with experience and the time to work and train him. He has not been properly socialized and the shelter is currently working through some things with him to help him. He is going to be around 70-80 pounds full grown. He is fully vaccinated, HW Negative, and will be neutered and microchipped August 22nd, 2024. If you think Ace will be a good match for you, give us a call today!
We attempted to do a cute video of both Esme and Kinder, however Esme decided to steal the show in most of the clips. Both these girls have such sweet and loving personalities! If you’d like to meet them, send us a message on Facebook today!
Dune has been with us since May 16,2024 (77 days in shelter). He was picked up by the Hickory Creek PD one night after being dumped near Sycamore Bend Park. He was completely shaved and had some major skin issues. He did not trust anyone at all and it took us a while to gain his trust. Dune never let his past affect him and now loves and trusts everyone. He does great with dogs and kids of all ages. We aren’t sure how he is physically with cats but he does enjoy laying in front of the window and watching them play. This boy is a gentle giant and a huge cuddle bug. He has his little spurts of energy then enjoys going and laying in a nice chair or bed. Dune is 3-5 years old and is a Shepherd Pitty Mix. He is fully vetted, HW Negative, Neutered, and Microchipped. If you think Dune would be perfect for your family, give us a call today at 940-465-7444.
Kittens Kittens and more Kittens!! This group is FINALLY ready to find their forever homes. They just got transferred into the Window Room and are getting used to their new environment. We have 3 males and 6 females (pink collar=girl, blue collar=boy). Message us today if you’re interested in meeting any of these sweet felines!
Dexter has such a sweet and interesting personality. He is a 3-5 year old Bullmastiff Pit mix and weighs around 60 pounds. He enjoys his own space and time but would also love to be involved in his families life. He’d be good in a home with or without other dogs. He does great with older kids. We know he is not a fan of cats so a home without them is recommended. Dexter would love to go on adventures but would also be very content hanging around the house with his family. If you’re interested in meeting Dexter, give us a call today!
Some may remember Breyer, Brinn, Billie and Braylin (Adopted). They came to us early April as bottle babies. The Officers spent tons of time feeding and raising them and it was quickly discovered that along with needing feeding every 2 hours they also had ringworm. They immediately began treatment and a week ago were fully cleared and healthy! This litter is the most playful and friendly bunch ever. If you’re looking to add a feline companion to your family, give us a call or message us today!
This week we will be highlighting each of our shelter dogs. We forgot to post yesterday so up for today’s highlight, Elvira. Elvira came to us March 25, 2024 after being dropped off at our front gates. The Officer spent about 45 minutes trying to coax her to come to them and was finally able to get close enough to throw a leash over her head. She is a sweet and gentle spirit who would fit well in many different types of households. I am loyal, quiet, and affectionate, and I love giving kisses to the people I love. Even though I can be a bit shy at first, I am an independent spirit who is ready to take on the world with my new family. I would love to be your new companion and adventure buddy. Even though I am not good with other dogs (DOG SELECTIVE), I promise I will stick by your side through thick and thin. I am a lovely girl who is hopeful that you will give me a chance. Cats and kids are not my favorite so a home without them would be preferred. If you believe that I could be the right fit for your family, please consider adopting me today! Elvira is a 3-5 year old Border Collie Mix. She is HW negative, fully vaccinated, dewormed, spayed, and microchipped.

There's nothing quite like the love of a furry friend, and our beloved Bay has so much love to give! This gentle and brave girl is the perfect companion for anyone looking for a fiercely loyal and protective best friend. Bay is a friendly and affectionate dog who loves nothing more than to snuggle up on the couch and give kisses. She is a true companion and will always be by your side. From her calm and independent nature to her love of food (who doesn't love a good snack!), Bay has a lot of unique characteristics that make her a truly special dog. She may not be good with other dogs, but her love for people is unmatched. If you're looking for a furry friend who will stick by your side through thick and thin, Bay is the perfect addition to your family. Please consider opening your heart and home to this sweet girl - you'll be rewarded with endless love and companionship! (Please Note: We understand that Bay may not be the right fit for every family, but we encourage you to consider her unique personality and needs. If you're interested in adopting her, please contact us to set up a meet and greet. We can't wait for Bay to find her forever home and receive all the love she deserves!)
Hello everyone! My name is Elvira, and I am on the search for a forever home. I am an adult female dog with a sweet and gentle spirit who would fit well in many different types of households. I am loyal, quiet, and affectionate, and I love giving kisses to the people I love. Even though I can be a bit shy at first, I am an independent spirit who is ready to take on the world with my new family. I would love to be your new companion and adventure buddy. Even though I am not good with other dogs (DOG SELECTIVE), I promise I will stick by your side through thick and thin. I am a lovely girl who is hopeful that you will give me a chance. Cats and kids are not my favorite so a home without them would be preferred. If you believe that I could be the right fit for your family, please consider adopting me today!
Hello, my name is Murphy! I'm a puppy with lots of love to give and a heart of gold. I am friendly, affectionate, playful, smart, brave, curious, independent, athletic, and a couch potato (in other words, I'm perfect)! I'm a funny pup who loves kisses and making you laugh. I am good with other dogs, and I'm sure I would get along with any family. I will need to have a family with other large breed dogs to help me burn off some energy. Unfortunately small dogs and me are not a good combination. I also LOVE kids and running around with them. I am still working on being potty trained, since I'm still in the shelter it is difficult. I'm just looking for someone to give me a loving home and take me on walks and to the park. If you adopt me, I promise to be your very best friend.
Dune is a friendly, protective, and brave adult male dog who loves kisses and affection. While he is an independent spirit, he is incredibly affectionate and loves to show his love and loyalty to his favorite people. With his playful and adventurous spirit, he is a great companion for those looking for an active dog who can also be a couch potato. He loves to play and run around, but he also enjoys relaxing at home with his family. We do not know if Dune gets along with other dogs, as we have no information on this subject. However, Dune is a wonderful companion and is very loyal to his people. He will be a great addition to a family or a person looking for a furry friend.
Dexter is a well-rounded dog with a lot of love to give. He is friendly, loyal, and affectionate. He has a gentle nature and is good with other dogs. He loves to play and run around and is very athletic, but he is also content with being a couch potato and getting lots of cuddles. In addition to his charming and funny personality, he is also curious about everything around him. Dexter loves kisses and giving lots of wet, sloppy doggie kisses. Dexter is an adult dog, but he has a lot of love and energy left in him and he has so much love to give to his new family. He would be the perfect fit for a family that can give him lots of love, attention, and affection. He can be pretty scared of loud noises. He is not a fan of cats at all, so we don't recommend it. He would do best in a home with older kids or a nice quiet environment.
