Delilah just arrived from our rescue partner in West Texas, so we're still getting to know her. The first thing Delilah did when she arrived was take out and test every single toy in the toy bin. She loves her toys! So far she has impressed us with her easygoing personality. She's been quiet and well-behaved in her kennel, walks nicely on leash, and has been happy and friendly with everyone she's met. We can't wait to learn more about this lovely girl as she settles in. Stay tuned for updates as we get to know her better!


This pet has not been DNA tested, we are unsure of their actual breed makeup, but these are the breeds we think they look like!


Delilah's adoption fee is $300, and this sweet pup can't wait to meet you!

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.

The shepherd dog breed encompasses a versatile group known for their intelligence, loyalty, and strong work ethic. With a heritage deeply rooted in herding and protecting livestock, shepherds excel at various tasks ranging from obedience and agility competitions to search and rescue missions. Their protective nature makes them excellent family pets, offering unwavering devotion and a natural instinct to watch over and care for their loved ones. In addition to their remarkable abilities, shepherds are often characterized by their distinctive appearance, including a sturdy build, alert expression, and a signature double coat that provides insulation and protection in various climates.
