Leroy Lake, Havanese mix

Leroy Lake is a darling male Havanese mix staying at Tzu Zoo Rescue.

Leroy Lake is the life of the party — he's happy to keep company with other dogs, and would love to be placed in a home with at least one other canine to have as a playmate. No need for concern: He is already house-trained, neutered and vaccinated.

A bit more on Leroy Lake:

Hi, I’m Leroy and I’m 10 months old. I’ve got excellent potty manners, and even know how to use the doggie door. I’ve had a rough start in life and I’m not sure about men, but my foster parents are helping me learn to trust. So, my forever family will need to be patient as I continue to learn to trust. I love to play and run around the backyard. I do well on a leash. I’m as sweet as I am cute, and a love bug.

Beauty, Boston terrier

Beauty is a precious female Boston terrier dog currently housed at Boston Terrier Rescue of North Texas.

Beauty is looking for a home without small children, cats or other dogs. Fear not: She's already been spayed, and she has mastered her house-training etiquette.

Introducing Beauty:

Hi, my name is Beauty. I am about seven years old and a bigger gal (shhh, about 34 pounds). I am a casual and low-key girl, looking for a home to spend my days relaxing and chilling with my people. I am very submissive with my people, and I live to please! Because of some joint issues, I am not the kind to go for long walks on the beach (er, I guess since this is Texas, it would be the sidewalk!), and I don't care for stairs or hard floors, but I make up for my special requests in my cuteness and great companionship! I do well in the car if you ever wanna take me places, though. I would love to find a home where my person or people are home a lot, or can take me places with them.
