Forgotten Paws

“Apparently I was surrendered for being ‘medical.’
The medical condition? Being a little… ✨extra fluffy✨. Rude.”

Hi everyone, I’m Lady — an 11 year old senior citizen with years of wisdom, experience, and perfected couch potato skills. I somehow found myself dumped at a high kill shelter because humans decided my biggest offense was being chunky. Excuse me for enjoying snacks and living my best life.

Now that I’m in rescue, everyone has realized I’m actually just a sweet old girl with a heart of gold and the personality to match. I’m dog friendly, loving, calm, and honestly just looking for a soft place to land where I can spend my golden years being adored like I deserve.

I’m not asking for much:
• Snacks (obviously)
• A comfy bed
• Someone to tell me I’m pretty at least 14 times a day
• Maybe a short walk so I can maintain my “summer body” goals

At 11 years old, I deserve better than ending up forgotten in a shelter. Seniors are the best — we’re past the chaos, past the nonsense, and straight into the “let’s cuddle and watch TV” phase of life.

So if you’ve been looking for a loyal best friend who will love you endlessly, lower your blood pressure, and occasionally judge you for not sharing your food… I’m your girl.

Love,
Lady

These sweet baby boys were just thrown out of a car on our street. 💔 Thankfully they are now safe, but they urgently need foster homes while we get them fully vetted and ready for their next chapter.

They are approximately 10–12 weeks old, and DHPP vaccines are being administered immediately. They are rescue backed and we will provide support.

Right now, they need:
🐾 Foster homes
🐾 Foster-to-adopt homes
🐾 Shares to help them get seen

Despite what humans did to them, these little guys are still sweet, loving, and just want comfort and safety. No puppy deserves to be discarded like trash.

Please help us show them that not all people are cruel. 🥺

Hi… it’s Diesel.
Yes, I’m still here.
Yes, I’m still waiting.
Yes… I’m starting to take it a little personal. 😭

I’ve been in rescue for 6 whole months.
That’s 6 months of watching my friends get adopted…
6 months of practicing my “pick me” face…
6 months of being like, “okay maybe TODAY is my day” …and then… nothing.

Not one application.
Not even a “hey, is Diesel a good boy?”
(Answer: I am. Obviously.)

Let me reintroduce myself since apparently I’m being overlooked:

✨ 1 year old pointer mix = young, fun, and ready to LIVE
✨ Extremely friendly = I will love you immediately, no warm-up needed
✨ Dog friendly = bring me a sibling, I’m ready
✨ Backyard required = I have zoomies and they are not optional
✨ Outdoorsy king = I WILL get dirty and I WILL have the time of my life doing it

I’m not a “decorative couch potato.”
I’m more like… your chaotic best friend who convinces you to go outside and touch grass.

But seriously…
I don’t understand how I’m still here.

I would love you.
I would make you laugh.
I would be your ride-or-die, mud-loving, zoomie-running best friend.

I just need someone to finally say,
“Yeah… that’s my dog.”

So… what do you say?
Are you the one who ends my 6-month waiting streak… or am I about to start charging rent? 🥲

✨ WE CAN’T DO THIS WITHOUT YOU ✨

Running a rescue isn’t just saving lives—it’s sustaining them. Every dog that comes through our doors needs food, cleaning supplies, enrichment, and basic care daily… and it adds up FAST.

Right now, we’re running low on essentials, and we need our village to step in. 🐾

From puppy pads to food, to cleaning supplies—these are the things that keep our rescue running behind the scenes so we can continue pulling dogs from euthanasia lists and giving them a second chance.

💔 The reality? Without supplies, we can’t intake.
❤️ With your help, we can keep saying YES.

If you’ve ever thought about supporting but weren’t sure how—this is one of the easiest and most impactful ways to help. Items ship directly to us and go immediately to the dogs in our care.

🛒 Amazon Wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3HP1FZI8HL9CE?ref_=wl_share

Every single item—big or small—makes a difference.
Every package delivered = tails wagging + lives saved.

We’re not funded. We rely on our community. And we’re so grateful for every single one of you who helps us keep going.

🐶 Help us continue the mission. Help us keep saving lives.

Hi. Yes, hello. It’s me… Melvin. 🧐

I had a very important meet & greet scheduled. I practiced my best “sit,” rehearsed my eye contact (brief… because ✨anxiety✨), and even prepared a light comedic routine.

…and then… p**f.
My potential human pulled a disappearing act better than a magician at a Vegas show. 🎩

So here I am again. Still available. Still adorable. Still slightly confused, but we move forward.

Let me reintroduce myself properly:
I am Melvin — Distinguished Nerd Gentleman. 🤓

* Shy at first (I like to observe… gather data… analyze the room)
* Secretly very goofy once I trust you (yes, there will be zoomies)
* Low drama, high character
* 10/10 would quietly judge your life choices but still love you anyway

I’m not the loud, chaotic type. I’m more of a “let’s sit together in comfortable silence and occasionally be weird” kind of guy.

Honestly… I’m your perfect boy. Someone just has to actually show up for me this time.

If you’re looking for a loyal, quirky, slightly awkward best friend who will blossom into your favorite little shadow… I’m right here. Waiting. Patiently. Probably overthinking something.

👉 Apply to foster, foster-to-adopt, or adopt me here: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/foster/FPTX/Dog

Don’t ghost me… I already have trust issues. 😅

We don’t chase numbers—we stand behind them.

April:
7 adopted
3 intakes
2 medical cases
4 spay/neuters

Every single one required planning, funding, and commitment.

This is what responsible rescue looks like.
Structured. Intentional. Necessary. 🐾

Hi, I’m Fiona… yes, that Fiona 💅🐾

2 years old. Fabulous. Unbothered. Moisturized. In my lane.

Let’s clear something up real quick —
If you’re looking for a dog that barks at every leaf, shadow, and Amazon delivery… I am not your girl.
I haven’t barked since I entered the rescue. Not once.
Honestly, when the other dogs start up, I just sit there like… are y’all okay? 👀

I’m dog friendly ✔️
I’m cat friendly ✔️
I’m drama free ✔️ (can’t relate)

I came into the rescue with a little leg wound — the shelter acted like it was a whole Netflix series, but my rescue fixed me up real quick. Boom. Healed. Back to being fabulous.

My vibe?
I prefer a calm, quiet household where I can mind my business and look pretty…
BUT if things get a little rowdy, that’s fine too — just know I will not be participating. I’m more of a “observe and judge silently” type.

So if you want:
✨ A peaceful queen
✨ A low-noise lifestyle
✨ A dog who minds her business better than your group chat

Then congratulations… you’ve found me.

Hi. It’s me. Buster. Former feral… current heartthrob. 😎

Let me set the record straight — when I first got here, I was basically a tiny wilderness goblin with trust issues. I came in with my brother, didn’t know what humans were about, and honestly? I was prepared to live my best “don’t touch me” life.

Fast forward to now…
I’ve had snacks. I’ve had patience. I’ve had ✨decompression✨.
And suddenly… I’m like, wait… y’all are kinda cool.

Now I’m:
✔️ Running around like I own the backyard
✔️ Playing like a certified zoomie professional
✔️ Accepting love (on my terms… but still 😌)
✔️ Fully out of my shell and ready for my next chapter

Important Buster Requirements™:
🏡 Backyard = NON-negotiable (I have very important business to attend to… like running in circles)
🐾 Another dog? Cool. I vibe.
🧍 Humans with patience = my kind of people

I’m looking for a foster, foster-to-adopt, or forever home that’s ready for a glow-up story in real time. You get to say, “I knew him when he was a little feral dude.” That’s basically bragging rights.

So… what do you say?
Wanna be part of my villain-to-lover arc? 😏
