Meet Handsome Huxley!

Huxley is ready for his next big adventure and he’s hoping it leads straight to a forever home. This young man was found lonely, abandoned and hungry - we knew he had not had a good meal in quite some time! But that has not stopped him from loving everyone and making new furry friends.
He may be small , but he has a heart full of love to give.
Huxley deserves a family who will love him, include him in their lives and make him feel right at home. If you’ve been looking for a new best friend, Huxley might just be your guy!

Wishbone is a Traveling Man with his new Mama!!!

We are excited to share Whisbone's story.
His Mama was traveling across the United States when she stopped in Longview for truck repairs. During her layover, she tuned into KETK East Texas Living, to see Wishbone's TV Debut.... before you could say " Let's Roll", her adoption application was submitted, and by next afternoon, Wishbone was belted in singing his favorite songs.
Thank you for offering Wishbone the best adventures of his life- we can see it is True LOVE!
Thank you also, for the enormous donation of warm comfy puppy blankets for those in the shelter still waiting...
Happy Tails Wishbone- your dreams have come true.
