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!
This stunning litter of petite lab/shepherd mixes available to rescue with their mom, Holly who arrived skin and bones. She has a wonderful temperament like her puppies and they are each hoping to find forever homes soon!
A Note from the Foster: Meet Holly! 🐾
This beautiful Lab/Shepherd mix made her journey all the way from Texas and is settling in wonderfully in Minnesota. Holly has already lived quite the life for a young pup — she recently gave birth to 12 puppies and was an incredible mama. Now that her babies have all found places to land, it’s finally her turn to be someone’s baby.
Holly is doing fantastic with her house manners. She keeps her kennel clean, hasn’t had any accidents, and is well on her way with potty training. She’s a smart girl who thrives with structure and consistency.
When it comes to other animals:
✅ Does well with dogs of all sizes
🐱 Curious but respectful around cats
⚖️ Has a confident, dominant personality — thoughtful introductions and clear leadership will help her succeed in a multi-pet home
Holly is playful, affectionate, and full of life. She absolutely loves chewing on toys, especially Kongs, and will happily entertain herself with a good chew session. She also enjoys running and exploring outdoors — she’d make an amazing adventure partner for hiking, jogging, or simply exploring the backyard.
After being such a devoted mom, Holly deserves a home where she can be loved, spoiled, and included in all of life’s adventures. If you’re looking for a loyal, playful, and confident companion who’s ready for her next chapter, Holly might just be your perfect match. 💛
Adoption Fee: $510 + 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!
