Anna Suzanna ("Suzie")

    • Suzie is affectionate, playful, and recently mastered the famous "Greyhound Lean."
    • Ideally suited to be an only dog, though might get along with a male dog.
    • Not tested with cats or small dogs. Shows some prey drive, but walks calmly on leash.
    • Very small (only 45 pounds) with lots of stamina and a fast metabolism.
    • Found near a fracking site, estimated to be 3–4 years old.
    • Loves to run and play, and is easy to walk.

    Teddy

      • Rescued at around 9 months old, currently 2-years old and growing beautifully.
      • A Saluki/Greyhound mix, left behind after a hunt.
      • Nervous at first but sweet and affectionate once he feels safe.
      • Good with other dogs, potentially cat-friendly with the right family.
      • Weighs about 55 pounds—a sleek, fast runner who loves chasing toys.
      • Ideal placement with another dog to keep him company--he needs a buddy! 

      Shiner

        • DNA reveals equal parts Saluki, Greyhound, and Whippet—a real mix of strength and speed!
        • Has an old injury to his front leg, now managed successfully with monthly Librela injections. This injury is inoperable. 
        • Active, affectionate, and pain-free—loves yard play and long walks.
        • Displays prey drive, so careful placement is necessary.
        • Estimated to be around 2 years old and full of life.
        • Gets along well with most dogs. 
        • The group is happy to pay for his monthly Librela injection whenever he gets adopted. 


        Cotton

          • 7 years old, previously hunted rabbits and coyotes, now enjoying a slower lifestyle.
          • Calm on leash, prefers burying his hedgehog toy to chasing prey!
          • Best suited to a home without male dogs; may do well with a medium-to-large female.
          • Likely not safe with cats, but we can test if needed.
          • Weighs around 75 pounds—a big, lovable boy who’s fine with children.
          • Raised around grandchildren; both of Cotton's siblings that were placed by us are thriving in homes with kids.

          Jasper

            • Born in 2023, the son of another rescue (Scottie).
            • Rescued from Tulia's Animal Shelter—he’s full of love, energy, and charm.
            • Friendly with other dogs and loves to play.
            • Might do well with cats or as an only dog--we are happy to test him!
            • Crate trained, did well in foster care, and is great on walks.
            • Needs an active family or individual with a yard and a big heart!

            Maxwell ("Max")

              • Young Lurcher, about 2 years old, rescued right off the streets of Lubbock.
              • Extremely friendly, affectionate, and calm on walks.
              • Shows signs of being a former hunter, but doesn't pull or lunge.
              • Possibly related to Nutmeg, another dog in our care.
              • Hasn’t learned how to play with toys yet but loves ear rubs and human connection.
              • A true sweetheart ready to join a loving family.

                • Demands lots of petting on walks—adorable and affectionate!
                • Doesn’t yet know how to play with toys but is learning.
