Young Adult

I'm Garrett, a 1-year-old German Shepherd with a striking apricot, black, and tricolor coat, and I'm ready for an active adventure with you! 🐕 I'm already neutered, crate trained, and I love playing with other dogs and kids — I'm a friendly, energetic guy who thrives on action. Fair warning: I'm a high-energy pup who needs exercise several times a day, so apartment living isn't for me — I'd do best with a spacious yard and an owner who loves the outdoors as much as I do. If you've got the space, time, and enthusiasm to match my playful spirit, let's meet! 🎾✨
I am ready!! Adopt me soon!!

Local adoption fee is $300 (in TX)
Out of state adoption fee is $550 ( includes transport to your area)

Garrett (214355740)

Medium (25-59)

Hi, I'm Luna! My rescuer found me outside a Walmart parking lot, hungry, injured, and confused. I pulled back my ears, gave him my "puppy eyes" look, and asked him to scratch my belly. It worked! I was rescued and soon was getting fed, watered, and loved.

I'm mostly Belgian Malinois with probably a dash of German Shepherd. My attitude is mostly Malinois, but I'm able to relax a bit more than a pure Mal. My foster dad says this is a good thing because I can rest while he works. 

When I'm let out, I show my real energy! I love to run around in the yard and chase the squirrels back into the trees. I won't let those squirrels come anywhere near the ground! Back and forth from tree to tree like a jet plane!

I'm a quick study for obedience, agility, and nose work. I've learned to find gloves anywhere in the backyard and little bags of spices anywhere in the house. I've learned sit, stay, down, touching a target stick. The more puzzling the challenge, the better! My injury has healed and now I'm learning an agility jump, too.

I love to play tug of war and fetch, but my Malinois drive sometimes makes me lunge and I have a hard time giving up the balls and ropes. My foster dad is teaching me and I'm slowly learning, but my family will need patience, understanding, and consistency. I want to learn and am eager to please! 

I like to hike and walk, and I do well with my harness. I would be an ideal dog for anyone who wants to get into canine activities like scenting, agility, obedience, or anything else! I would be great for a hiking enthusiast, too. But I can also be a family dog as long as I get lots of training, walks, and backyard play. 

I am a Malinois at heart, so I need a main human willing to spend lots of time with me. To that human, I will give so much attention and devotion! I will always be ready for activities, but my foster dad is also teaching me an off switch so I will be able to live in a family home. 

If I sound like the perfect addition to your family and home, please click the adoption application and let's get going!

Malinois, Belgian

Luna (214348210)

Adult Dog

Kovu is a very well-mannered gentleman! He prefers to keep to himself arround other dogs, but is very neutral! He likes to meet new people,  and is all tail wags when approaching a new potential friend . 

Kovu walks really nicely on a leash! Maybe its his size, but he does a natural heel and keeps your pace amazingly! Dont feel like walking? Hes cool with that( he prefers that ) Hes definitely not a runner though , so he would be the perfect addition for someone looking for a large but low energy dog!

Hes such a breeze to groom! He behaves perfectly for bathes/brushing/clippings and nail trims, and even does amazing with the blow dryer!

He's never has accidents, and is kennel trained! Hell sleep calmly with out a peep!

If you aren’t willing to train a puppy every single day, don’t get a puppy! It isn’t a one-shot deal. You have to be dedicated. And if you aren’t making progress – find someone who can help. Enroll in a puppy training class or hire a trainer. Most cities across the nation have some sort of availability for this kind of help and at different cost levels that would fit your budget.
&nbsp;
Puppies are going to poop a lot and pee even more; chew on everything; bite everyone; scratch people and furniture; steal things; destroy something at some point; pull on the leash; not move at all on the leash; bark; cry; beg for attention; and the list goes on. You’re going to have to walk them, bathe them, pick up everything below waist height, buy new shoes, and most importantly: TRAIN THE PUPPY NOT TO DO THESE THINGS! Ultimately, it is your responsibility to teach your puppy that this behavior is unacceptable.

Puppies don't train themselves

This is going to happen every time and incredibly fast. Please, the next time you have the thought, “I want a puppy!” replace the word “PUPPY” with “DOG.”
&nbsp;
If your excitement goes down, even the slightest amount, don’t get a puppy.
&nbsp;
The average lifespan for a dog is 12 years. The wondrous smell of puppy breath only last a few months. This means you have waaay more time owning a dog than a puppy. We frequently have puppies returned to us for a variety of reasons. Often this results in an extremely adoptable 8 week old puppy being returned a few months later as an 8 month old train-wreck.
&nbsp;
And… if you just ‘honest to God’ love puppies and wish they never turned into dogs, we have a great option for you – you can foster puppies! You get to help a life in need, get all the fun that comes along with puppies, and never have to have a dog! WIN, WIN!!! Please visit our fostering page for more information.
