Drake, pointer

Drake is a charming male pointer dog being kept at Against All Odds: All Breed Rescue.

Drake is the life of the party — he loves other dogs. Have no fear: He is already house-trained, microchipped, neutered and vaccinated.

Here's what Drake's friends at Against All Odds: All Breed Rescue think of him:

Drake is a gorgeous two-year-old pointer. He is high-energy, loving and gets along with everyone. However, he is going to be treated for heartworm, and his new owner or foster will need to be able to keep him calm for up to three months while the treatment works. He must remain calm during this entire period. After that, he can go back to being his fun, playful self.

Beau, German shepherd

Beau is a majestic male German shepherd dog staying at Adopt a Husky of Dallas, Inc.

Beau gets along swimmingly with other dogs, and doesn't mind children. He has already mastered his house-training etiquette, has had all of his shots and is neutered.

Beau's current caretakers say:

Beau, the shepherd with floppy ears, is as adorable and lovable as he looks, and then some. He is six years old, very well-trained and enjoying life these days at doggie daycare, hoping for the right match to come his way. We love Beau, and cannot imagine him being left behind over a situation he had no part in, yet it happened. He loves his walks, visiting friends, travel and just hanging out with someone who loves him. When it comes to being a friend, companion, sidekick, listener and just a lovable guy, Beau is your boy!

Marty, Boston terrier

Marty is a cute-as-can-be male Boston terrier dog staying at Boston Terrier Rescue of North Texas.

Marty is happy to keep company with other dogs, and would love to be placed in a household with another canine to have as a companion. Good news: He has already mastered his house-training etiquette.

Meet Marty:

Hi there wonderful people, my name is Marty, and I am about nine years old. I am very gentle and very sweet. I love food and sleeping, but most of all, I love to cuddle. I don't see very well — I have cloudy eyes, but I can see a tiny but (light and shadows), enough to find my people and jump on the couch for some snuggle time. I also am hard of hearing, but I don't really let that bother me — I just need a little extra patience is all! I do enjoy walks, since the leash lets me know which way to turn. Overall, I am a very sweet boy who needs someone to watch out for me, so I don't run into something and hurt myself. In exchange, I will provide snuggles, cuddles and loves, and be a wonderful companion to you. I really am a very good boy!
