Edie
Edie is a purebred Australian Shepherd puppy with a big
personality and TONS of energy. Her previous owners didn't
understand what they were getting into when they brought her
into their family; they were at work from 9 to 5 and Edie needs
CONSTANT stimulation, as with most herding dogs. We took her in
to keep her out of the shelters, but due to space and cats she
needs to move on to better, less stressful climes.
The ideal home for Edie would be one where someone could stay
with her all day and give her the attention and training she so
desperately needs. This little girl will make someone an AMAZING
agility or rally dog; she turns on a dime, is lightning-quick
and rather light for an Aussie, and radiates brains. I'd really,
really like to see her go to a sports home. She got along fine
with our Border Collie after the initial introduction but is
obsessed and a little worried by cats, so a cat-free environment
is a MUST. Not a huge amount of interest in frisbees or balls or
fetch games, but loves tug-o-war and is majorly food-motivated.
As she's still a puppy, Edie has a problem with jumping on
people and barks at strangers, but a concentrated dose of
training will most probably fix that. All this and
crate-trained, spayed, and vaccinated, to boot!
An adoption fee of $120.00 and an approved
Adoption Application
are required for adoption. All references will be checked and a
home visit may be done.
If you have a job and plenty of time for this bright young
prodigy, shoot us an
EMAIL
and we'll see that you get properly introduced.

Sawyer
Sawyer is a purebred male Border Collie with an absolutely sunny
disposition! Sawyer never has a bad day and truly loves life! He
is zesty, loving, sweet, and happy. He was picked up as a stray
in Dallas and for some reason, no one came to claim him. But
their loss can be your gain, as Sawyer will make an awesome
companion for the right home.
He is food and toy motivated and knows how to sit and shake on
command. He is both housebroken and crate-trained, and is
getting the hang of not pulling on a leash. He pulled
consistently when he first came to his foster mom, but now he
does great at falling into a steady walk. He has never tested a
fence but isnt afraid to try and get away with some digging. He
is still finishing up his chewing stages but will not try to
chew house-hold possessions if provided with plenty of nylabones
and toys. Basically, he still has some puppy-like qualities but
is a very moldable dog in his behaviors, takes correction very
well, and picks instruction up very quickly. When shown the
correct thing to do, he understands it. His ideal home will be
able to continue the training he has undergone in foster care
and will be understanding of any puppy-like behaviors. As do
most dogs, Sawyer simply needs to be guided on the paths of
acceptable behavior.
He would do great with an active family that can give him plenty
of exercise (romps in the backyard and walks). He would also be
a good candidate for anyone interested in hobby agility.
However, he differs from the stereotypical Border Collie in that
he is not super high energy. After running and playing with his
pack mates, he is perfectly capable of coming inside and laying
down to relax with the family (his favorite is to splay his back
legs out in the frog-dog position while crossing his front paws
at the same time). He is not over-the-top and his temperament is
what I consider bombproof.
Sawyer is fully vetted - neutered, vaccinated, microchipped,
de-wormed, and current on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention.
He absolutely adores other dogs and will play with them all day
long given the opportunity, so another young dog would be best
to keep him the happiest. Sawyer loves children but might
accidentally knock a young child or toddler over, so a home with
kids 10 years of age and up is required. He is fine with cats,
too.
If you are interested in Sawyer, please FIRST fill out an
Adoption Application and then call or
EMAIL
Laura Bates at 817-253-3898. To adopt Sawyer, an Adoption
Application, Vet and Reference Check, and a completely secured
yard is required. He is currently located in Denton, TX and it
is required to travel there to meet him in person prior to
adoption. No out-of-state adoptions.

Emma - ADOPTED!!!
Emma is a wonderful, mostly white Border Collie/Lab mix rescued
six months ago from being abandoned with other dogs when a
family in my neighborhood left town. She is very affectionate,
adaptable and intelligent. She is a healthy girl with a
beautiful coat and she is spayed and current on shots. She is
also mostly housebroken and rides well in the car. Libby is
devoted to her owner and is always where you are. She does well
with all ages of people and other animals including cats. She is
currently living with me in a townhouse with no yard and really
needs a yard for play and run space. She has some separation
anxiety and would be better with a human or other animal around
most of the time. A real sweetheart of a dog.
An adoption fee of $90.00 and an approved
Adoption Application
are required for adoption. All references will be checked and a
home visit may be done.
If you have a place in your heart and home for a girl like this,
you can

Flag
Meet Flag! He is a beautiful boy with unique markings. Flag was
found as a stray by his first family and taken in. However, as
he has gotten larger he's come to have some food-related issues
with the smaller dogs in their home. He is extremely
well-behaved with people. He has been trained to sit, stay,
come, shake, is kennel/crate trained and gives hugs! He prefers
human companionship and is extremely loyal to those that love
him. He avoids other dogs when faced with them and he would most
likely be better in a single dog home. If I didn't already have
three at my house he would be home with me right now. Please
spread the word and if you know anyone with a heart for animals
and a need for a new four-legged best friend tell them Flag is
ready! Thank you so much!
An approved
Adoption Application
is required for adoption. All references will be checked and a
home visit may be done. For more info on Flag, you can
EMAIL.

Hank
HANDSOME HANK is what we call him around here, and we sure think
his name suits him!! He's current on his vaccinations, neutered,
and has been taking monthly heartworm preventative since he was
3 months old. Hank and his siblings were rescued as tiny pups
during the hot Texas summer with temperatures reaching 106
degrees. They were all brought to safety and have been in foster
care awaiting adoption ever since. A poor economy has slowed
adoption rates nationwide, but Hank's still hopeful.... he knows
his day will come.
Hank is a very striking boy. He's black with beautiful white
stockings on his front and back feet. He also has a gorgeous
white blaze on his chin and chest, and white on the very tip of
his always wagging tail!! Everywhere we go, people comment on
his rugged good looks... perhaps he's the George Clooney of the
dog world.
Hank is still a young dog that's ready to make his mark on the
world. He's quite smart and soooo eager to please. Hank enjoys
playing chase with his brothers and retrieving his favorite
ball. In the afternoons, Hank and his brothers enjoy a leisurely
game of good old fashioned "fetch". One toss of the ball and
they're all running to see who can get to it first. When Hank
gets the ball, he very quickly brings it back to you in hopes
that you'll continue to toss it for them. He seems to never tire
of the competition, however he's always a good sport. Hank also
enjoys going for walks and taking in the view. Be careful
though, he's quite strong!! Hank uses a doggie door and enjoys
the freedom of being both inside and outside. He's used to
sleeping in his crate at night, along with his favorite bone
stuffed with cheese. Hank gets along great with people of all
ages and other dogs, so he's hopeful that one day he'll finally
get that FOREVER HOME he so deserves!!
Hank and Dakota (listed above) are brothers.
To audition to meet Hank or for any questions about our adoption
process, please contact Project Pawz at (903) 874-3722 or via
