We still have a lot of great adoption events coming up, and of course our annual Fur Ball in November (info/tix on our website! ) We hope to see you at there, having fun and maybe finding your forever friend!

💚It's TUESDAY, and we're always choosing' TEX...can you tell? 🎵 Give a big HOWDY to our handsome senior pittie! Tex can be choosy with people and dogs, but once he decides you're in his cool book, get ready for a tidal wave of snuggles! Tex thrives with dogs his size who know how to balance playtime with chill vibes. And because everythin's bigger in TEXas, 66lb Tex needs a home where there are no small dogs. And because Tex has a beautiful white coat, he needs limited outdoor time in the sun, and needs some doggy sunscreen (yes they make it!). Tex is a smart, wonderful doggie, and he is patiently waiting to find his forever home. He's ready to ride off into the sunset with his forever partner! 💚

You can meet Tex at our Main Ranch location during open hours, or email [email protected] to find out more information about this handsome guy.

💚HAPPY TAIL ALERT! Adorable boy Benson found his forever home, and sisters Daphne & Velma found one together! Beautiful kitties Nugget, Sheldon and Silkie found their forever homes, and Monte & Ambrose were adopted together (no pic)! AND we have 8 dogs on trial adoptions! We are so excited for them and really hope they all make their adoptions official. Thanks to these homes adopting from our no-kill animal shelter, we now have new spaces for other cats and dogs looking for forever homes! We wish them all of the luck, and we will miss them all! 💚
