Willow is a BC mix pup found as a stray in Fort Worth in June 2025. She appears to be a large border collie/Pap mix, about 23 lbs and 17 1/2 in tall.
Willow is one of the sweetest dogs you will ever met. She is just a little cautious when she meets new people but quickly forgets and loves everyone, male or female. She will jump in your lap for long snuggles and kisses. Her weight and height make it easy to pick her up and carry her around like a sheltie! She knows how to sit and the word off (as in "get off the couch").
At first, Willow was super-reactive to other dogs and the occasional person walking by in public, but has since improved. She currently lives with 7-8 other dogs, but Willow had a month before integrating into the larger pack. If there is another dog in the home, we would recommend a slower introduction and integration period (over a couple of weeks), although the process could be a lot faster with a more submissive / neutral dog. Willow is now very comfortable with her foster brothers and sisters and LOVES to play. She has convinced all the young dogs to play with her, two of whom had never played with any other foster before Willow.
Willow is a whirlwind, racing in the yard after squirrels but will also snuggle with you while you watch TV. She is very food motivated and will also play with toys. She loves tennis balls and toys that crinkle and squeak, particularly a large stuffed chicken from Pets Supplies Plus. She enjoys tug of war with the leash toys with fluff at the end. She is very high energy and has learned how to scale a 3 foot fence so her adopter should have a 6 foot privacy fence. She is crate trained but her foster has started leaving her out and she has done very well, with no items destroyed and no accidents in the house. She is doggy door trained as well.
We think Willow would do well in an experienced home with no other pets that can work with her dog reactivity, or one that is willing to give her the time she needs to get used to any dogs in the family. She is a fun, fantastic pup who just needs a little but of patience (if there are other dogs) to become your best girl!
Willow is being fostered in DFW area, TX

"Bryce Dallas Howlard"
Personality
Dallas may be the smallest puppy in the litter, but she certainly has the biggest personality. She is the problem child - expressive, vocal, and never hesitates to let everyone know when she wants attention, needs to go outside, or disagrees with her current accommodations.
She is easily the most affectionate puppy of the group and absolutely loves physical affection. She actively seeks cuddles, happily showers people with puppy kisses, and has never met a human she didn't immediately like.
Dallas is confident in familiar surroundings and takes only a short time to adjust to new environments. She is one of the more athletic puppies, loves running and wrestling with her siblings, and was the first puppy to become interested in chewing bones. Her toy drive continues to develop.
Highlights
• Most affectionate puppy
• Extremely people friendly
• Athletic and playful
• Outgoing personality
• Confident around adult dogs
• Excellent family companion
Best Fit
Someone looking for a constant companion who enjoys affection, interaction, and being involved in every part of the day.
Considerations
• Requires frequent human interaction and attention.
• Most vocal puppy in the litter.
• Can be demanding when she wants affection or activity.
• Persistent with her siblings and will happily continue pestering them long after they've decided playtime is over.

Penny is a brilliant, affectionate, and loyal 5-year-old Border Collie/Mini Aussie mix who thrives on routine. At 39 lbs, she is the perfect medium size, fully crate-trained, house-trained, and knows basic obedience like sit and stay. She is incredibly gentle and patient, living safely with a 4-year-old child, and she gets along excellently with other dogs. True to her working breed roots, Penny is smart and needs a job or mental enrichment to stay happy; if she gets too bored, she might shred an unattended Amazon box or look for a snack on the counter. She is looking for an active, experienced family who understands herding breeds and is ready for a snuggly, eager-to-please best friend.
Penny is currently being fostered in Austin, Tx

Ziti (renamed Susie Q) was originally rescued with her 4 siblings and mom from a rural shelter and adopted from the rescue. Unfortunately, her adopter recently had to surrender her back to the rescue due to a life-changing family event that required her to move out of state with very little notice.
Ziti is a very sweet, affectionate, pup that loves to cuddle and be close to her people. She loves playing with other dogs, going on walks, chewing on bully sticks and chew toys, and attention! She can still be shy around unfamiliar men; however, once the new person gets close to her, she is super submissive and will roll onto her back and show her belly and once she gets a few min to warm up, becomes very affectionate and attention seeking. She is building confidence quickly and this behavior is becoming much more rare.
Ziti would thrive in a patient and loving home that will encourage positive introductions with new people and continue to help her becoming the social butterfly that she really wants to be!
Ziti is being fostered in Houston, TX
