Story
I acquired Toro in May of 2019 from the Palm Valley Animal Society Trenton Center in Mcallen, Tx. He was about 8 months old at the time and had been in there for a while. I taught him how to sit, stay, lay down, give a paw, and not touch certain items. He is extremely playful and loves to meet other animals. He likes to play a lot too, he doesn't really need toys sometimes I just run back and forth with him in my backyard and that's good enough for him. The problem is that I will be moving out and going to work in a different city and cannot bring Toro along. My parents are also not as young as they used to be and that leaves Toro without a lot of contact or playing time. I just want to find a good home for him, he's not high maintenance and is incredibly easy to train so all you really need is 30 minutes to an hour a day to play with him or keep up with the training.

Story
This is not my dog but the owner does not speak English and has difficult economic situation. The dog is in danger because another dog she had was killed on purpose for chasing cats. This dog likes to chase chickens and may suffer the same fate. I helped spay her and treated her for worms and mange. She looks healthy now. She is a bit over a year old. I am willing to drive to San Antonio to bring the dog.

Athena is a very loving and highly energized dog. She responds to stay, paw and sit. She needs a lot of attention and she loves to be loved. She adapts easily and does great with kids over 5 years of age. She loves to go on runs and sometimes gets a bit nervous about bigger dogs. She is easily trainable and listens to your commands when given. She is easy to love!

Story
Jet is a medium sized black lab that cake into my life on Christmas because the local shelter was going to euthanize him and his sister if he did it get fostered. He was sick when I brought him home and found out he would be euthanized if I simply gave him and his sister up. So I treated him for parvo and he recovered. He is a now a perfectly behaved gentleman. He is a very relaxed for a black lab, loves to lounge but when it’s time to fetch he loves it. He listens and is really good with other dogs. He is very submissive and sits for his food. He has a jumping problem when he gets excited but I tell him to go to his crate and he listens. I only use it to calm him and let him out within 5 minutes. He’s a smart doggy and gets the Point. I love him dearly but I am in the Army leaving soon since I am currently on orders relocating me. My wife is pregnant with a high risk pregnancy and it hurts my heart to have to give him up. He’s and amazing dog.
