Sky, pit bull terrier
Sky is a sweet female pit bull terrier puppy being cared for at Animal Justice League.
Sky will get along great with your other dogs. She is looking for cat-free forever home. Sky has been vaccinated. Have no fear: She is already house-trained. Sky is a special needs pet, so please inquire about her specific care requirements.
From Sky's current caretaker:
Meet Sky … She is such a special little girl, so we're looking for a very special adopter. She needs someone who will be able to handle her when full grown, as she will be a strong, solid 40-50 pound dog. She needs someone who can continue her socialization and doggy manners training. And, most importantly, someone who is prepared to love her and care for her medically, if her orthopedic issues don't fully correct, or if there are issues later in life. She absolutely loves being outdoors, and has learned to go outside to potty using a dog door. Having a dog door or installing one is something an adopter should highly consider, because it will make her such a happier girl (and you too!).

Isabella, Labrador retriever and spaniel mix
Isabella is a female Labrador retriever and spaniel puppy staying at Cocker Spaniel Rescue of East Texas - Houston.
Isabella is friendly as can be — she loves other dogs. She already has all of her shots. She's already house-trained.
From Isabella's current caretaker:
Isabella is an adorable Labrador Retriever mix that was born around May 1. This little girl was found abandoned and a CSRET volunteer picked her up. Within two weeks this smart little girl was completely house trained. She's even learning basic commands. This little girl loves to be picked up or doted over and would be tickled pink to find a family with kids to play with.

Shelby, Labrador retriever mix
Shelby is a charming female Labrador retriever puppy being kept at Animal Justice League.
She's already house-trained. She has been vaccinated.
Here's more from Shelby:
My name is Shelby! My foster mom calls me goofy because I make her laugh when I move too fast without looking forward and run into things, or when I fall off my bed while I'm snoring like a lumberjack and wake myself up or when I annoy my bigger siblings by making these squeaky squirrel noises until they paw me in the face. I love playing with my doggy foster siblings, running and wrestling in the yard. I have two cats as well, but they don't play with me much even though I've never chased or chewed on them. I haven't met any kids yet, but they look kind of fun and seem to have my energy. I'm completely potty trained and I like my crate, especially when I'm scared of something. I would love to find someone who will help me grow up to be an even more confident and amazing dog and will embrace my goofy side!
