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!
A Note from the Foster: Louise is an Anatolian Shepherd mix who is truly one of a kind—both in how she looks and how she carries herself. From the moment she arrived, she surprised us with her calm, sweetness, and quiet confidence. While her sister Thelma has the more traditional Anatolian Shepherd coloring, Louise is her opposite, with a striking, unique look and the coolest eyes.
Louise’s temperament is just as special as her appearance. She’s incredibly happy, with a tail that’s almost always wagging and a soft, smiley expression that makes her a joy to be around. She’s confident but gentle, social without being pushy, and has an easy, steady presence that feels rare.
She’s a long, tall girl who weighed about 50 pounds at intake and is very healthy. Louise adapted immediately to meeting new dogs, including our 8-year-old resident dog and another foster pup only 4-months-old. She reads other dogs well, listens super well, and fits right in...very mature for a one-year-old!
Louise is already great on a leash, did amazing in the car, has had no accidents, and sleeps quietly overnight. She loves toys, enjoys playing with the other pups, and balances her playful side with a calm, affectionate nature. She’s adventurous, loving, and genuinely tuned in to her environment.
She’s truly one of the coolest fosters we’ve had—happy, unique, and steady in a way that’s hard to describe until you meet her. Louise is available as a foster-to-adopt, making her a wonderful option for someone ready to see if she’s the perfect match. If you’re looking for a dog who stands out in every way, Louise is something special 💛
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!
