TXCR transports adopted dogs and foster dogs monthly from Texas to Ancaster, On.
TXCR does adopt out of province; however, the adopter will need to travel to Ontario to pick up their dog.
If you are adopting a dog that is being fostered in Ontario, the pickup location will be at the foster's home.
If you wish to adopt, please fill out an application to be pre-approved for adoption. You only need to fill out one application, we keep them on file, and once you're approved, you can request a hold on any dog.
Once you have filled out an application, please keep an eye on your spam folder.
The adoption fee is $700 for adult and puppies. The adoption fee covers vaccinations, spay/neuter, any vetting, transportation from Texas to Ancaster, ON and general needs of the dog while in our care. Puppies will be given 2 boosters.
Once you have filled out an application and you are working with a volunteer, they will be able to answer all your questions.

Love is currently being fostered in TEXAS.
Love is a 4-8 month old mix. We are not sure mix of what. Maybe lab mix? She is about 8 pounds and will be apx 45- 55 pounds fully grown.
She is DEAF and will require a super special human to love her, train her, give her patience and resilience. Love is just that, all LOVE. She is VERY intelligent.
Just because she is deaf, that does not slow her down. She is confident, curious, and a typical puppy. She catches on to things incredibly fast. She knows where the chain is to the dog door and tries to open it with her teeth. She catches on quickly to a new routine.
Love gets along with all other animals, people and children. She loves toys.
She is a gem. Every day she makes us smile and every day I am so grateful we saved her. Seeing her little face in the morning is just a ray of sunshine and she warms our heart and heals our soul, I know she will do the same for you.
P.S: She falls asleep in really weird places and can’t hear you when you call her so be prepared for daily hide seek and mini heart attacks
Arabella is currently being fostered in TEXAS.
Arabella is a bit of an odd duck and she needs a very patient , loving, experienced, calm adopter with a soft voice and gentle hand.
Arabella is just afraid of the world. She is scared when the leaves blow too hard or she hears a lawn mower in distance.
She does NOT walk on leash and just lays down and sometimes will nervous pee.
Arabella is a mix. Her mom is a terrier weighing apx 18 pounds. Arabella is tall and slender and already weighs 12 pounds at apx 6- 8 months old so we are assuming she will be about 20-22 pounds fully grown.
She is gorgeous, very sweet, extremely gentle, loves other animals but is nervous upon first meeting them.
She will need a fenced in yard or a fenced in area near by where she can be carried to and then put down to learn her leash, harness training and potty manners.
She is actually really good at going potty outside here at the ranch but she has a dog door.
She is submissive and a follower, so a home with other dogs who are more outgoing and social may help her learn the ropes of being a dog.
She likes toys and smiles when you baby talk her. Arabella does like people and attention, she is just such a nervous nelly. She army crawls to you belly flat on the ground. She whines a little with nervous excitement when you give her cuddles and love.
She just needs some extra TLC to learn to trust and build some confidence.
Cupid is currently being fostered in TEXAS.
Cupid is apx 4-8 months old and 8 pounds. She is an adorable little mix with a fluffy soft coat, beautiful grey green eyes, a smile that lights the world, and a personality that will be sure to win your heart and everyone else's around you.
Cupid is a little star and always turning on the charm. She certainly will get a lot of attention on walks. She is just the cutest little girl rescued from Atascosa Animal Shelter.
We are not sure what she is mixed with and we assume she will be about 40- 45 pounds fully grown. She is kind of short and stout.
She loves everyone she meets, great with cats, kids and dogs. Cupid will be a wonderful family addition to your loving home.
Lil Oscar is currently being fostered in MAPLE, ONTARIO.
Oscar is 1.5 years young and a sweet, loveable, boxer/bulldog mix. He is 50 lbs, and strong. He needs an adult-only home & an owner who has experience with strong breeds.
He was found as a stray and picked up by ACS San Antonio. Due to be the euthanatized.
During his time in foster, we have learned that he has some hearing loss, and partial facial paralysis, but this does not affect his quality of life. Oscar is paralyzed on the left side of his face. This could have been caused by head trauma or stroke. There seems to be no limitations with his paralysis.
Oscar is crate trained, and does well on his own when you go to work for the day. He rarely barks, but as he has gotten comfortable in his foster home sometimes he is vocal when playing.
He has some food sensitivities but it’s easy to manage with regular store-bought dog food and loves steamed veggies.
Oscar graduated Puppy Obedience training and has learned several new commands. It will be beneficial to continue with training and positive reinforcement to ensure he is a well behaved part of your family. He knows hand signals for various commands (sit, stay, wait, paw)
Oscar has some resource guarding when outside, but with positive reinforcement he will continue to improve. He loves going on walks, and would love a fenced in backyard if possible.
Oscar LOVES sticks and trees when he’s walking down trails! Loves them so much he doesn’t know how to let go. When his foster was holding a stick, he got so excited, that he grabbed it out of their hand and cut their finger. This was an accident. However, due to his obsession, he needs to live in a city environment instead of the country. It is best for him to be kept away from sticks.
Due to his facial partial paralysis, he doesn’t realize how hard he is chewing. He is a strong chewer. Kong toys, and bones to keep him busy are recommended.
Best to be the only dog in the home, but he does love to meet other dogs and enjoys meeting people on walks, can be a little shy of men at first.
Oscar doesn't realize he is a big dog, and sometimes will want to sit on you when on the couch. He enjoys being close to his family when they are home.
Chico is currently being fostered in TEXAS.
Shruggs is apx 5 years young and a short stout 11 pounds. He has a deformed left limb and this is a birth defect. He still gets along just fine.
We got Shruggs from a pretty bad situation and he came in with a broken soul but day by day he is getting better, lifting his head a little higher, and seems that every day his sun shines a tad bit brighter.
He is still a work in progress and needs a loving and patient adopter. He is not aggressive and does not bite but he is timid and shy.
He loves other animals but no small children please living in the home. I think the visits from toddlers would be fine as he is not an aggressive dog, but he is very quiet and submissive. I think living in a very loud home 24-7 may be too much for Shruggs.
Here is what his foster has to say...Update on Shrugs:
Learning to walk on a leash, does stairs really well up and down, likes to run, is a couch potato at heart, sleeps in kennel, he mostly potties outside & I leave the back door open, he had an accident yesterday but was my fault I closed the door after I went in the backyard. He follows me around all day, loves to cuddle. His nervous tinkling has pretty much stopped. He is sweet, gentle and a cuddle bug. He does really well with other gentle dogs.
Buttercup is being fosterd in TORONTO, ONTARIO
Meet Buttercup! This sweet little Shipoo is about 7 years old and only 16 lbs. She’s a very sweet, affectionate, and gentle little pup. She does require regular grooming appointments for her coat. We’re looking for an experienced adopter for this sweet pup.
Buttercup MUST be the ONLY dog. She does not get along with other dogs at all. Not even for visits.
She will select her “person” in the house and not leave their side, this little one is very attached.
She can be possessive of her people. Buttercup did share a household with a cat for a brief time and did well, but the cat would need to be very dog savvy and slow introductions.
Right now Buttercup is used to having her human around all the time and makes a darling little shadow. She is loving with her people and will happily curl up beside you and always wants to snuggle.
Buttercup also loves to dance when she gets excited for walks or training sessions. She is a picky eater, but loves cheese. She is also housetrained and has not had an accident in her current foster home. She is also good with letting you know when she needs to go outside.
Back in July 2023, Buttercup had 2 lumps removed from her mammary glands. They were benign mixed mammary tumors. More of these may develop in other random mammary glands. The risk that any will become malignant is less than 10% as per her medical records.
Buttercup is not a fan of car rides, resulting in anxiety in the car. She is making good progress on this, however her new home should have patience with her as she acclimates to car rides.
She is also an incredibly gentle girl and has been great with the child in the home. Older dog savvy children only. She prefers to sleep close to her people, either in the bedroom or on the bed. Sudden movements and loud noises can startle her. She does get anxious in new situations, but patience and understanding and keeping things calm will help her relax.
If you’re looking for a sweet, gentle, loving pup, Buttercup may be the one for you.
West is currently being fostered in HAMILTON, ONTARIO
West has many other names we call her such as; Chirp, because she does not bark she actually makes this odd chirping sound that is very high-pitched. Luckily, she does not do it often
We also call her long legs Louise.
West was rescued from the Rio Grande Valley. She was found as a stray. West is approximately 1 to 1 1/2 years old, tall, lanky and apx 15 pounds.
West is a bit shy at first but quickly warms up and she does have a good bit of energy and silliness. She is a happy dog and she LOVES other dogs. She definitely needs a home with other dogs, or an adopter willing to take her to dog parks or doggy daycare. She loves to play with other dogs and gets very excited to meet new dogs.
She is an all around fantastic gal with a happy and joyful demeanor.
Maddie is currently being fostered in TEXAS.
\Maddie is apx 4 years old and weighs 7.5 pounds.
A nice couple found her on New Year’s Eve. She must’ve gotten spooked by the fireworks and ran from wherever she was. The couple posted her everywhere to try and find her owners.
Maddie had several dog bites on her so she must have been attacked by dogs while on the run. This was all very traumatizing for her. I am very surprised they even caught her because Maddie is extremely skittish. She has tried to nip a few times out of fear.
Maddie is wonderful with dogs and cats but absolutely NO children.
Maddie warms up after a few days to her person and will allow you to pick her up, cuddle her and pet her but she just needs some time to decompress. She did okay at the vets office, but we did have to burrito her in a towel.
Maddie is just extremely scared but once she gets comfortable with her surroundings and her people she is 110% love bug and would like a warm, calm, loving, patient, mature, home to spend her years in.
Maddie does not appear to do well with change. A fenced yard would be best unless someone is willing to use pee pads, until she is comfortable and confident walking on a leash with a very well fitted harness, with her person.
She rarely barks, doesn't make a sound and uses potty pads.
She loves bedding, blankets, naps and attention once she is comfortable with you. She is a very demure and shy baby but she will blossom with every kiss, cuddle and some positive praise.
Prissy is currently being fostered in TEXAS.
Prissy aka Prissy Pants. Prissy is apx 10 years old and 9.8 pounds.
She is a hoot. Prissy is sure to make you laugh on a daily basis. She always has her tongue out and a sideways tilty head.
She loves all dogs, cats and people.
Prissy has good potty manners to go outside but will use a pad if needed.
She is not fussy and is just genuinely a happy go lucky girl.
Prissy does have a bit of a neurological quirk, she does not love being picked up or held. She LOVES attention, being pet and doted upon, sitting on your lap, sleeping next to you and following you around. When you pick her up she will wiggle, turn her head very drastically and does not really seem to have control of this drastic head turn when she is lifted up. This is an involuntary action. We have no clue why she does this. It may be head trauma at some point but we are unsure. This truly does not effect Prissy’s quality of life and she is an extremely happy and loving girl.
She is chi/terrier mix and low to no shedding. She does not bark often but when she does bark it is just one single odd noise that sounds more like a screaming goat than a dog.
She is just special and will bring you years of joy
STELLA is currently being fostered in TEXAS.
Stella is a terrier mix approximately 2 to 3 years old and 11.8 pounds. She is tall and slender. Her left eye has a little speck of blue for good luck. Stella was rescued from Mission, Texas.
She is incredibly sweet and quiet, very gentle and has a heart of gold. Stella takes some time to warm up to new people, but does not have a mean bone in her body. She is just very shy and timid.
Stella is not a huge fan of puppies or chaotic dogs. She really prefers other low-key adult dogs . She is great with cat and would be fine with well mannered older children.
Stella warms up every day and has blossomed into just the most loving girl, you just have to give her a little time to decompress and get used to her new life and her new routine, but she will.
Stella prefers a mature, quiet home, children visitors would be fine, but Stella does not want to live with toddlers 24-7.
I think Stella was abused at some point in her life or humans may have not been very good to her. She flinches when you close the blinds too fast or make a loud noise or drop the broom. She is scared of her own shadow at times, but she is not an overly anxious dog and every day we see her trust a little bit more.
She is a perfect lapdog. She is pretty calm and really just wants to lounge around most of the day but is also happy to walk around the yard and explore, sun bathe, or hang out on the porch with you.
When she bonds to her people, she will give so much love! She becomes attached very easily. She just needs a gentle voice and a loving hand to teach her to trust and become a little more confident.
Stella will REQUIRE a fenced in yard or a secure area to go potty as she does not know how to walk on leash and harness and is quite afraid to do so. With some training and some time I know she will learn and she will follow her people everywhere. However she is not quite there yet.
Jolie is currently being fostered in TEXAS.
Jolie is a 5 to 8 month old terrier mix, we do have her mama who is 12 pounds. Jolie is currently 7 pounds so we are guessing she will be 12 to 15 pounds fully grown.
Jolie and her siblings are all just amazing little dogs. They are happy, wiggly, silly, dancing little puppy beans, who are very social and sweet.
They are currently teething and would love some chews and toys so they are not forced to use your fingers .
Since these are mixes, we CANNOT guarantee that they are non-shedding however they are low shedding.
Jolie gets along with all other animals and kids and is just a typical happy go lucky puppy.
She is the most shy of the group, is tall and slender like her mom.
She needs some work on the harness and leash training, she very afraid to go for a walk but she will get there.
She is more gentle and calm that the others but still a puppy
She would love to be a part of your life and will be sure to make your days a little brighter and your heart a little more full.
Jolie, Bango and Anusha are siblings
Rosalind is currently being fostered in TEXAS.
Rosalind is approximately one years old and 13 pounds. She is short and stout. Very fun, loving, confident, social butterfly.
She is the “mom” of the group. She tends to be the one the others follow and she tends to be the more confident one but not overly alpha at all.
She gets along with everyone and is great with cats, kids and dogs.
Rosalind and her sisters were rescued from Kingsville Animal Shelter.
Rosalind is going to make an amazing companion and adventure buddy. She loves the outdoors, is active and social but she also just adores people. She will love to be with her human whether that is for a walk in the park or a movie marathon on a rainy day.
Rosalind is just an all around amazing girl ready for her next chapter.
Rosalind, Arabella and Venus are siblings who are currently still available.
Jack Black is currently being fostered in TEXAS.
Jack Black, or as we call him, Jackie, is the most loving, gentle, empathetic, and soft as can be little boy. He is apx 10 months old and 9 pounds. He will not get much bigger.
Jackie was rescued from high kill shelter here in Atascosa county. He was so upset and sad in his kennel. He was absolutely terrified at the shelter and when we brought him to the rescue, he slept for an entire day. At first, he was nervous and he would just roll over belly up being very submissive to us and the other dogs because he was just so scared, but he always wanted love and attention.
All he wants is to give love and receive love. I don’t think humans have always been very kind to our little Jackie. He never jumps on you or asks for attention, he just kind of stares at you with these soulful eyes, begging quietly from within for some cuddles and attention. He will just curl up on your lap and get hugs and do that big rescue dog sigh. He is a dog that will always be grateful to be rescued, there is just something about him, that you know that from within.
Every day he blossoms more. He is doing great on the leash and harness, he plays with all his friends.
Jackie is great with well mannered gentle children, cats and all dogs.
He does not mark.
He is very well mannered and has a wonderful personality. Jackie just wants a family and he has been waiting his entire little life for you.
Banjo is currently being fostered in TEXAS.
Banjo is a 5 to 8 month old terrier mix, we do have his mama who is 12 pounds. Banjo is currently 7 pounds so we are guessing he will be 12 to 15 pounds fully grown.

They are currently teething and would love some chews and toys so they are not forced to use your fingers .

Banjo gets along with all other animals and kids and is just a typical happy go lucky puppy. He would love to be a part of your life and will be sure to make your days a little brighter and your heart a little more full.

Venus is amazing with other cats, kids, and dogs. She has an energetic and loving personality and will get along with anyone she meets.
Venus does have some spunk and playfulness in her and she loves her play time, furfriends, toys and outside time, but she REALLY loves her people and bonds quickly.
