History: 🧡 From Texas to Midwest 🤠—- A group of deserving dogs was recently welcomed as part of our Texas Transport Program! A program launched to make an impactful difference for our partner shelters in Texas facing the overpopulation of animals with limited resources and low adoption rates. We are excited to help these southern gems find loving forever homes to call their own!
Ariel had ulnar osteotomy surgery in January 2026 because of concerns with her right front leg. They didn’t find any issues in her elbow joints, but Ariel was starting to develop a condition called radius curvus, which affects the shape of her forearm. Additionally, there was some misalignment in her right elbow due to an abnormal growth plate in her ulna.
While her left forearm looks normal, it still needs to be watched as she grows. Ariel has been recovering well and is now on a specific rehabilitation plan to help her heal and get back to her active lifestyle.
A Note from the Foster: Ariel is a sweet girl with lots of energy, she likes to play and chase her toys all day long! She LOVES chew toys!! She is working on potty training and jumping up. She is kennel trained with a treat incentive to get her in there and some protesting if left in there for long periods. She's a sweet playful girl
Adoption Fee: $760 + tax
Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
