Story
"The only thing constant in life is change." Due to the changes of life, we need to rehome a number of our pets. Our time schedules have altered, our health requires a little more attention, the budget has had to tighten up a bit, and the pack dynamics have shifted. We love them all, but God has made it quite clear we need to thin the herd. Jethro is a 6yo M Australian shepherd/Bird dog mix; neutered 53lbs. Yard dog. LOVES people, very attentive and eager to please. Good with bigger dogs, much smaller dogs(supervised), can get aggressive with dogs around his same size. Very trainable. Good at catching snakes and squirrels.

Story
Chrissy is a 9mo old F unknown 37 lbs. UTD on shots and heartworm. Yard dog for now. Rescued. Has had shots and wormed. Is gaining weight. Still VERY food oriented. Good with big dogs, supervise with small dogs. I picked her up from the gas station down the road. I could not leave her on the condition she was in. No one claimed her and we continued to care for her. We have never intended to keep her, just get her healthy and happy. "The only thing constant in life is change." Due to the changes of life, we need to rehome a number of our pets. Our time schedules have altered, our health requires a little more attention, and the pack dynamics have shifted. We love them all, but God has made it quite clear we need to thin the herd. I just want ALL of our babies to have the love, attention, and care they deserve, and we can no longer provide that. I'm starting school full time and my husband works full time.

Jacksonville, TX
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained,
Story
Harry is very friendly, his favorite place to be is curled up on a lap. He is medium sized, probably around 25 pounds right now. He is house trained and walks well on a leash. He gets along with all dogs he has met, and is scared of cats so just avoids them. He likes all ages of people as well. He hasn't been neutered or gotten his shots yet. He was dumped near my house and I'm not in a good position to keep him, though it is tempting because he is very sweet, so I would like to find him a good home. I can deliver quite far away from my current location, I travel to Austin regularly and can take him to other locations as well.
