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: Sophie is settling in very nicely. She gets along with everyone she meets, people and dogs. She is a shepherd mix so she has a high prey drive and might not do well with smaller animals but could learn to with slow introductions because she’s super smart and picks up on expectations quickly. She’s perfectly potty trained and sleeps quietly in her kennel. She is a bit of a jumper and needs consistent boundaries with keeping her feet on the floor. Sophie is the perfect mix of shepherd traits with smaller size. If you’ve wanted a German Shepherd companion but can’t do the large size, Sophie weighs in at only 45 lbs. She’s got a ton of spunk and will add joy to any home.
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!
