Available Dogs
All dogs who are available to adopt are vetted and up-to-date on all vaccines. We encourage you to select your new companion by considering each dog’s individual personality and pet qualities instead of relying on a certain look and feel.
We always highly recommend putting in an application and getting approved before you see a dog and fall in love!

Cooper - 1222
Cooper is a 2+ year old Border Collie, 47 pounds, neutered, vaccinated, and healthy!
He was raised on a large, secluded property near Mexico where he mostly interacted only with the 2 humans who cared for him. He was not raised as a working dog. When illness prevented their ability to care for him, he joined BCRRT. He missed the adolescent window of socialization and his foster mom has been helping him learn that strangers are not a threat.
He's made big progress and has a simple, special way he likes to be approached by strangers. It's easy really: no eye contact, and give him space until he makes the approach and asks for a pet!
He is sensitive, smart and hyper vigilant…will need time to trust you…after you prove yourself he will show you just how special he is. He loves frisbees and balls and can learn any active job.
During the day, he is your shadow. At night he's your cuddle on the couch dude. He can have a brother or sister but needs slow easy introductions. His groomer (who he knows well) said he didn't bother with her cats. No young children please. He doesn't need much just patience, calm and your love....in return he will be the best friend you have ever had forever.
Dinah - 1218
Dinah is under 1 year old, 35 lb, vaccinated, healthy, sweet, high energy dog.
She has been an amazing temporary addition to our household. She has been wonderful with her two foster dog sisters and one foster dog brother but might be better suited in a house with one or no other dogs. She does not care much for her foster cat brother though and chases him all day long.
She loves to go play fetch in the backyard (and the living room). She does incredibly well in a crate at night or during the day when we have to leave.
She is potty trained with only a few accidents. She does well around all people although she has not been exposed too much to children, she is very curious about our neighbors' little kids.
She has learned very well to walk on a leash and loves walks through the neighborhood. Her motor won't quit so make sure you have lots of energy too!
Domino - 1233
Domino! This boy should be on the big screen with his wonderfully unique markings!
Young and energetic, Domino is approximately one year old, tiny at 19 lbs, neutered, vaccinated, and healthy.
He is always ready to play, run, and jump. He loves to go on walks and is learning behavior cues from his gentle leader, but he still has a little work to do when he sees other dogs.
Domino is a vocal dog; he sings the song of his people with growls, howls, and barks! He does not like to be left alone for too long. Maybe he has a future career on American Idol?
He will be your velcro dog and snuggle with you while you sleep, watch TV, or work. He is learning how to use his off switch and is crate trained. His foster family is also working through basic commands like sit and stay, and Domino will just need continued reinforcement.
Domino would thrive in a home where he would get a lot of attention, be the only dog, and would be best for older children. He does get along with other dogs well, but he would need a dog to match his puppy energy.
Domino is best fed away from his furry friends. Also, Domino like to play outside and will need a solid and secure fence as any open fence would allow him to fit through. He is a Houdini; smart, agile, curious, and ready to GO!
Harley - 1221
Harley ~1 year few months. Male. 55 lbs. Friendly with other dogs. Good with kids. Way too curious about cats!
Since you're reading this, you're obviously looking for a new best friend, hey, so am I! I don't care how old you are or what you look like, but in case those things matter to you, that's me, the hunky guy in the pictures, with the silky, soft fur and soulful eyes. My Foster Mom thinks I am a Border Collie and Great Pyrenees cross. My perfect match would be someone who loves giving me tummy rubs and snuggles and wants to spoil me rotten, never leaving my side. I don't mean to brag, but people tell me I'm a lot like Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson as everyone is my family, I am funny, could be a great action star, and... I'm BIG and a softie at heart! When I'm not admiring your every move, I love toys and romping around the yard. So, what do you say? Wanna be besties?
That pretty much sums up Mr. Harley. He is everybody's best friend and thinks he is a 55 lb lap dog. But don't let that fool you, he is still very much an energetic puppy in his behavior. He is a big goofy dog with so much personality. He has BC smarts with the Great Pyr soft and loving nature. Harley was found as a stray in OK and he does need a well maintained tall fence, as he is a free spirit and finds many things way too interesting and he easily jumps a 4' fence. Harley takes to training easily. He is food and toy motivated, and will need to continue his manners work. He may be rough around the edges, but has SO much potential.
Harley is currently located in the DFW area.
Hook - 1224
Velcro Companion: Captain Hook is looking for a co-pilot for life.
He is a five-year old and 55 pounds, neutered, up to date on vaccinations and preventatives, and healthy.
He is good with people, dogs, loves kids, is curious about cats (but has never lived with one). A devoted buddy who promises to follow you from room to room, just to make sure you are okay.
With soulful eyes and a gentle demeanor Hook has never met a stranger. He greets everyone with a slow way and a gentle nudge for pets. He never barks, but makes guttural sound when he is happy or hungry. Does not pull on lead when walking and will also follow you wherever you walk or jog.
Hook is a bubbly guy and always ready for a walk. He does get car sick ... so don’t feed him before transport. He slobbers a lot in the car, probably thinks he will be left.
Hook lost his original Dad when he died and feels secure in a kennel. He often retreats to his kennel during the day. He uses a doggie door. He is afraid of storms so kennel him during thunder or fireworks.
He is smart.... learned doggie door in one day. Does not climb on furniture, but wants to be a lap dog on the floor.
Beautiful blue and brown eyed he has not had toys before. He now tosses them and carries them outside and doesn’t return them, but I think that is trainable.
Basically, low-maintenance and high-affection. He is perfect!!!
Izzy - 480
Meet Izzy bizzy bee
Poppy - 1231
Poppy is a 1.5-year-old Border Collie mix that's as sweet as she is beautiful, with a sleek sable coat and a loving personality. Spayed, chipped, hw negative, up to date on shots. 45 lbs. She’s friendly with people of all ages, affectionate, and loves being close to her humans. Although she loves getting hugs and will lean against you, she is not overly needy and will happily find her own spot to chill. She enjoys meeting new people and has a fun, playful, puppy-like energy. Like many young dogs, she enjoys chewing, so she’ll do best with plenty of appropriate toys and guidance.
She can be a little timid in new places or unfamiliar situations, so she’s looking for a patient adopter who will help her build confidence at her own pace using lots of love and positive reinforcement. Once she feels safe, her sweet and loving nature really shines. She is house- and crate-trained and is still learning to walk on a leash. Because she is very focused on small animals in the yard, she would likely do best in a home without cats. A confident dog sibling in the household would be a plus.
Quinn - 876
My name is Quinn, Quinnlen, Quinn mc Quinnerson…my foster parents have weird nicknames for me and I’m looking for my new best friend, friends, family, 2 legged pals - you know the deal!
Here’s a little about me - I am about 5 year old purebred border collie! I am around 40lbs, fixed and up to date on all my shots. I am currently in the DFW area of Texas.
I am all legs and those legs let me do a thing called “zoomies” and it makes my foster parents laugh. I would love a home that could take me running, playing out at the park with my favorite rope ball or even some type of sport if you’d like to work with me on learning it!
I have amazing focus when it’s channeled and I’m doing really well at my off-leash training with my foster mom! I’m hesitant of new people at first so please allow me time to warm up.
I would do best in a home with another playful dog who is willing to share their toys but would also thrive as an only dog - I do love to play tug and chase with my foster siblings but I’m also equally content with a one on one relationship with my future PAWrents!
I am your typical type of strong drive BC, so please no children under the age of 15. And no cats...they look like a snack!
Sydney - 1090
My name is Sydney and I am a 30 lb, 3 year old Mini Aussie mix, spayed, healthy, athletic, and FUN! I love people, food (all food, especially spinach!), and tennis balls. I also enjoy car rides, going to fun places (especially if you help me not feel overwhelmed by too many stranger dogs), playing fetch (best thing on the planet!), and crushed ice!
My Faux Mom and I have been working really hard to get me ready for you! I have nice house manners, and am learning to have nice manners with other dogs. I live with a dog who tolerates my Mini Aussie herding style and the way I alert them to noises and squirrels! My dog friends need to give me a little space, and be OK with sharing all their toys. I eat in my crate so my dog friend doesn’t have to worry that I’ll eat all her food and we can both eat in peace. I sleep through the night in my crate, and am crated when no people are home, and I don’t mind that at all.
I’m hoping for a home with a nice yard for ball play (do this enough, and I won’t need a lot of other exercise!) with no small animals (chasing is SO FUN!) and no small children (same reason). I am located in the DFW area of Texas and can’t wait to have a home of my own.
