Chubby is the happiest boy on the block! This 2 year old, 60 lbs, fluff ball is a friend to all and a foe to none. He joined MHCR from a very small, underfunded shelter facing some tough decisions due to lack of space. Chubby hasn’t looked back since joining his foster home. He enjoys the soft beds, learned the doggie door, and has even acclimated quite well to his crate. Chubby is well-mannered in a home and walks well on a leash. Don’t miss this sweet pup! He is presently being treated for some skin irritation/allergies we suspect are from his time in the clink.

Toby! This fantastic ween mix is around 5 years old and 29 lbs. He’s playful, dog friendly, and is friendly with all humans he meets. Toby came from a small, under-funded shelter in Texas where he was on borrowed time due to lack of space and adopters. We just couldn’t get enough of him with his tiny little legs and luckily his foster home agreed! Toby is doing well acclimating to home living. He enjoys dining alone but has no trouble sharing toys, humans, and space.

Nellie is a cute, cow-spotted little lady that’s about 3-4 years old. She just wants your love and attention. She is pretty low energy and warms up so quickly that her tail starts wagging nonstop in matter of minutes. Foster cats don’t bother her, but she will eat her food, their food and ask for more food. With other dogs, she can be a bit picky and would be totally fine being an only child – she just wants all the attention on her only. Nellie is house trained and food motivated, so teaching her tricks could be a good opportunity to bond. She sleeps in her crate, but nothing is better than your soft warm bed at night! Though she is still working on her confidence out on walks, she feels safe inside her house and loves to curl up in her bed or next to you. If you are looking for a gentle and sweet girl to add to your family, she is your girl. She’s approx 14 lbs.

Earl is a 4.5-month-old, Aussie mix with a heart full of potential. He’s a bit shy with people but getting braver every day—especially with the help of treats and his favorite thing in the world: other dogs! Earl would thrive in a home with a confident doggie friend to show him the ropes.

He loves to play with toys, is highly food-motivated, and currently lives with two dogs and two kids (ages 9 & 12). While he’s still learning to trust people, his sweet nature shines through, and he’s ready to find a patient, loving family to help him come into his own.

If you’re looking for a gentle, playful pup who just needs a little time and love, Earl might be the perfect fit! 🐶💙

Good boy, Bear is a 3.5 month old, male, Great Pyrenees mix. He’s very dog friendly and does great with kiddos, too! Bear is a bit shy meeting new human friends but he warms up quite quickly. He is crate trained and doing well with house training at his foster home. Sometimes he carries on a bit in the crate but not for long. Bear is a professional napper and can be found sneaking a snooze just about anywhere.

Precious Ruby is a 4.5 month old, female, Aussie mix. She has the softest coat and a sweet, timid nature. Ruby came from a very small shelter in Texas with minimal resources. Everything about home living is new to her. Ruby enjoys being in the company of other dogs and that’s where she really blossoms. She’s cat friendly and curious about humans but isn’t trusting right off the bat. She will do well in a multi-dog home with a fenced in yard. Ruby is learning the basics of home living, which includes house and crate training.

Sweet, little, Indigo has the cutest underbite you’ve ever seen! This adorable fluffer has joined MHCR from a very small, extremely underfunded shelter in Texas. She is 4.5 months old and is learning that her world is no longer a scary place. Indigo must have another dog in her home and a fenced in yard. She adores children and warms up to them quicker than adults. She is smart as a whip is and is acclimating to house training and crate training beautifully! Don’t let this gorgeous girl pass you by!

If you were to ask Sierra’s foster mom how to best describe her personality, she’d say ‘perfect.’ Sierra is a loving, low maintenance, easy-going, sweet girl with such soulful eyes. She herself at a very high intake shelter in Texas, extremely emaciated, and up for euthanasia due to lack of space and heartworms. A fellow Texas rescuer saw her plea and wanted to help….and well, the rest is history. Sierra joined MHCR and quickly adapted to the finer things in life – ya know, food, warmth, comfy beds, love. She’s put on some much-needed weight (a healthy 47 lbs now), has a wide variety of cozy fleece sweaters, received treatment for her heartworms, got her teeth cleaned, and verified she was, in fact, spayed. She’s now ready to find her forever home! Sierra is crate trained; however you won’t have any trouble at all if you choose to allow her free roam. She’s house-trained, walks easily on a leash, prefers to not sit on furniture, and even rides well in a car (although she needs a hoist getting in). It doesn’t stop there. Sierra is also CAT and dog friendly. A gem! An absolute gem. We estimate her age to be 6-7 years.

Allow us to introduce you to the canine Paul Newman. He’s ever so aptly named. Paul is a 4.5-5 month-old Australian Shepherd mix. He has STUNNING blue eyes that look right into your soul. Paul spent the last couple months of his life in a very small, underfunded, shelter in Texas with his littermates. Since springing the clink, Paul has been settling into his foster home. He very much enjoys the company of other dogs and derives much confidence from them. We feel he will be most successful in a multi-dog home. Paul is very, very sweet and once he gets to know you, he enjoys all the snuggles. He is quite playful with a dash of a mischievous streak and has proven to be quite smart as he learned the doggie door in just a few days.

This guy will make a wonderful addition to nearly any type of family. He boasts a beautiful brindle coat that all the ladies love, the brains, AND the personality. Chonk is friendly to everyone he meets and will work for food and treats.

Raina is a happy, sweet, 50 lbs, 1.5 year old, lab/heeler mix. She was saved from a high kill shelter after she was picked up as a stray.

Raina loves dog friends and the human kids in her foster home. She also seems to be crate and house-trained. Raina is a quiet dog and is a little shy and submissive at first, but she warms up quickly and wants nothing more than to find her forever family to love her! Raina will do well in a variety of home types and she would love nothing more than to learn new things and be included! Please apply for this sweetie so she can find her way home.

Please meet Blush! She’s so sweet and her puppy dog eyes are sure to make you blush! This sweet, lovable pup loves tummy rubs and snuggling. If she’s not in your lap, her next favorite spot is right in front of the space heater! Blush is very active and she loves to wrestle with her canine foster siblings. We feel she is best suited in a home with another playful dog. She’s still getting used to walking on a leash and can be a bit timid outdoors away from home, so her forever home should also have a fenced in yard. Blush is very smart and food motivated, which makes training a breeze. At only 6 months old, she’s a sponge ready to soak up all the love and tricks her humans can offer her!
