Who has the most adorable grin at the facility? A smile that will melt even the iciest of hearts!

Here’s Gladys! A precious, lovely girl who can’t wait to be your best friend!

With a smile like her’s, it’s safe to say, she’s a happy girl. She is not only cheerful, just meeting her will make you feel joyful, too! Yes! Having Gladys in your life will make you content every day!

Gladys is full of personality, and she's curious about the world around her. She enjoys the simple things, like strolling outdoors, laying in the sun, and it’s a sure thing she’d like to snuggle with her person.

She’s okay on a leash and seems to think walks are fine. She instantly sits when she zeroes in on a treat. Her sitting is accompanied by a vigorous tail wag, which is absolutely charming!

She's a BIG fan of people, though she is very dog selective. More than likely, she'd be best as an only pet. But that will totally work, because there's enough Gladys to keep everyone in the home happy!

If you’re ready to be delighted, then hurry over meet sweet Gladys!

Meet the original couch potato wannabe!

This is Corelius! (does he not have the MOST adorable face???)

Sofa surfing is his thing. He likes to find a favorite spot, curl up and snore away the day. He promises he’ll snooze all night, too!

Corny is friendly, polite, and mellow. He greets his friends (and every human is his friend) with graciousness and respect. He’s truly a good guy. He doesn't have to sleep ALL the time. He does enjoy strolling and sniffing. You’ll always find him busy with his nose to the ground when he’s spending time in the yard.

As you can imagine, Cornelius is fairly well trained. Walking on a leash is easy, and he doesn’t seem to mind short strolls between naps. He understands sit, and he’s so mellow, he doesn’t need more training. He would appreciate routine in the home, as he prefers a schedule to follow!

Corelius is dog selective and would probably work best as your one and only! But with this snuggle bug around to keep you company, you won't need anyone else!

Come by and meet the sweetest of sweet, Corelius!

It is a Wonderful Wednesday, and the day we feature Pet Circle Regional Adoption Center's seniors!

Adopting or fostering a senior dog is wonderful! Seniors love rest and routine, so they acclimate into a home so much easier! They just want a few minutes of sunshine, a cool, soft place to snooze, and some lovin' from their person!

With the Fourth of July upon us, seniors become more vulnerable, as a need for added space arises. If a shelter has to euthanize for space, seniors and how they're often examined first. Those older dogs who have been in the system a while, also become "at risk", even if they're doing better, as they're seen not as adoptable as a younger dog.

There are old faces, that need to find a home soon, and some new faces, who also would love to make their shelter stay short!

Go by 2032 Circle Road and adopt or foster a senior TODAY. They are waiting for you!

Sweet Na Na!

You're heard her story - but in case you haven't. Na Na was found tied to a fence facing a road. Apparently, her family moved and thought it would be a good idea to leave her.

In some ways, it maybe wasn't the worst. She was reported on a FB page, and our own staff hero, Alicia and the amazing Nikkey hurried over and rescued her, bringing her here!

Needless to say, she's suffered trauma from the experience, so trust isn't easy for her. She seems "barky" in her kennel. Know that's just a defense. BUT she does and will fall in love with her person. She only needs time, patience and routine, and someone she can give her heart to!

Could that be yours?

Stop by and meet the lovely Na Na!

Stunning Royal!

While this may seem strange, highly intelligent dogs have the most difficult time finding homes. Why? Because they need to be busy. Often, they like to have a job to keep their minds working. They require a lot of mental and physical stimulation.

Royal is a highly intelligent dog. He's been trained, and knows how to sit, down, paw, and he's an expert on a leash! He'd be a great trail blazing partner, either walking or running. He'd be one who enjoyed doggie puzzles and possibly agility training. A fenced backyard with maybe a doggie buddy to romp in would be fun, too! (he is requesting a kitty free home. Felines are too much fun to chase!)

Royal will like some down time for belly rubs and snuggles with his person. This guy has it all! All except a family of his own, and Royal is ready to take that step!

Come by and ask to meet the fabulous Royal!

It's Monday, and we love to start the week with our sweet boy, longest resident, Brad!

Brad, the blue-eyed, fun and wonderful has been waiting such a long, long time for his family! He began his journey at the shelter, had opportunities in a foster home where he did amazing, but it wasn't a long-term foster home, so back to the shelter he came!

After a time, he came to us, and he has been a funny, sweet pleasure the entire time! We truly adored Brad, and we can't wait to celebrate the day he finds his forever family or person!

Besides being a hoot, Brad is a guy who likes to sniff outdoors, but he isn't big on much exercise. A soft place to lay or maybe a half of sofa would be his choice to spend his day. He can walk on a leash. He also knows how to sit! He's dog friendly, too!

Come by and meet Brad! He's ready to go home with YOU!

Back to seniors!

One dog we'd love to see find his Happily Ever After is gentleman, Chance.

Folks, this boy is simple the best! Chance came to us a little over a year ago from the Waco Shelter. He was supposed to be tagged by a rescue, but unfortunately the tag was dropped, and Chance never got his -- chance!

We couldn't allow him to return to the shelter, and we're so glad he has stayed with us, and we have had the pleasure of getting to know this fine, fine pup!

Chance is a good guy. He's probably about 7ish. He has tail wags and smiles for everyone he meets, though in a kennel he tends to be a little overwhelmed and it shows.

That's because Chance belongs on a soft bed near a window to gaze out into the day. A backyard with grass to roll in would be ideal for this guy! He really appreciates a slow-paced lifestyle. He'd be a great companion for someone who worked at home or a retired couple.

(We suspect grandkids would be welcome as long as they're not too rough on this 7-year-old!)

We'd really love to see Chance get his chance at that forever! He'd take a foster, too!

Come on by and meet the darling, sweet Chance!

We talked about senior dogs, let's go the other direction.

The youngsters: The dog on campus that breaks our hearts the most is Frick.

Why? Because Frick has NEVER lived in a home of his own!

Frick started life at 4 months old with his brother, Frack. They were brought to the shelter as a cruelty case. Frack had major health issues, and received a lot of attention, and was subsequently adopted a year ago!

Frick who was healthy as could be was placed in the conference room in a crate for safe keeping. He did well there, soaking up a lot of attention, going for walks, and getting some TLC, but it wasn't the same.

He then had to move to a kennel in the shelter environment and was already up on the longest resident list when that occurred. He briefly moved into a foster home, but without a lot of social skills, he struggled, and was returned to the shelter.

This poor guy was a longest resident, "at risk" at barely a year old. So, he came to us. He has done well, though he still in a shelter type structure. He'll need some serious decompression time, and patience to learn routine and social skills, but we feel like if Frick has the opportunity to become a member of a family, he'll thrive!

Come by and meet this cutie pie and see if he doesn't melt your heart!

We began yesterday with seniors, and we want to carry over our love for seniors today!

We have a few "older" pups on campus. Now, we say pups, because none behave like they have many years on them. Spaz particularly is very young at heart!

While he may have lived 7 full years, you'd never know it by watching him or meeting him! Spaz is as spry as they come, and he's always ready to go whenever his person says when!

Spaz came to us from the Waco Shelter. He was adopted, then returned several years later. through no fault of his own. We get it! Sometimes life changes can be too much.

He moved into a foster home. Each time he lived with a family, he did amazing! He returned from foster care as the Number 1 Longest Resident! Being older AND a long timer wasn't the best position to be in. That's when Spaz moved here with us!

Spaz has been a true pleasure to be around! He's always wearing a smile, his heart is filled with love, and he can't wait to begin life with a new family! Honestly, we'd love to see that happen for him soon!

If you're like us, a fan of Spaz, then stop by and meet this wonderful gent and consider making him yours!

Today is Wednesday, and the day we feature Pet Circle Regional Adoption Center's seniors!

Many older dogs have a difficult time adjusting to the shelter system, which is why it is SO important to find them a quieter space to land. It can be a long-term foster home or a forever, or even a rescue, these babies are in need from the moment they arrive at the shelter.

With the Fourth of July upon us, seniors become more vulnerable, as a need for added space arises. If a shelter has to euthanize for space, seniors and how they're faring are examined first. Those older dogs who have been in the system a while, also become "at risk", even if they're doing better, as they're seen not as adoptable as a younger dog.

Today, there are some new faces added. The good news is some familiar faces are gone because they moved into a foster home or adopted!

Follow that trend and go adopt or foster a senior TODAY. They are waiting at 2032 Circle Road, and look forward to seeing you!

Our 3rd longest resident is the amazing Pixel!

Pixel is an out of this world beauty who’s ready to join you on a fantastic journey! She is a whirlwind of wonder! She’s gorgeous, obviously, but what else?

As you can tell by her endearing smile, she’s a happy lady. She doesn’t let a lot get her down. She’s friendly, loving to meet new folks that stop by. She’s not overly bouncy, but she’s bubbly enough to charm you into orbit!

Outside the facility, Pixel is carefree, and new adventures do not seem to bother her. Which means, she’ll acclimate into your life easily. She’s a bit independent, indicating she’s a thinker, and a smart one, at that!

She’s fine on a leash and likes to saunter along taking in the sights with her person. She can sit on command, and she’s ready to learn whatever you’d like to teach her. She may even teach you a thing or two!

Pixel believes you can learn from each other, but she needs you to come meet her so you can let the lessons begin! Stop by and meet this lovely lass!

We were so excited when our friends/volunteers the Yangs. stopped by yesterday! Our pups were also happy to see them, because they knew some lucky fur was in for a day of fun, treats, and a much-needed change of scenery!

The Yangs chose the fabulous Stonewall as their outing partner! Read on and find out what they had to say about this sweet boy!

Meet the gentle Stonewall. 🤍🖤

Stonewall became one of the longest residents at the Waco shelter, where he was struggling to thrive and losing hope. Brazos Valley Boarding Kennels took him in, and he's been gaining weight back and enjoying life since! 🐾

Stonewall is very easy going and knows how to behave. He's great on the leash, rides well in the vehicle, and takes treats very gently. He's treat motivated and loves ice cream, french fries, and chicken tenders. He's very polite and won't sn**ch food from you, although he'll stare at you with soulful eyes until you give him some. 👀

Stonewall loves people and likes to greet you with a happy tail wag. He likes to have his head on your lap, and he wouldn't mind some gentle head pats and ear scratches while he rests. 🥰

Stonewall is an older guy who looks like a mix between a Dalmatian and a Mastiff. Although he's on the larger side, he's very gentle and well behaved. He would love to find a home to call his own, where he could relax and be near his people. Please meet Stonewall and give him a chance!

No surprise! Straight A's for Stonewall!

Come by and meet this wonderful boy and consider giving him a home of his own!
