🎃🐾 This Halloween, Fudge Cycle is hoping to find something sweeter than candy… a forever home! 🧡🍬

Fudge Cycle is a handsome 1-year-old boy weighing 55.12 pounds. He’s ready to trade in shelter life for a cozy home, plenty of love, and maybe a few Halloween treats of his own! 🐶👻

Fudge Cycle didn’t do well during his dog test here at the shelter, so he will need to be the only dog in his new home. But don’t worry, he’s got enough love to fill a whole house! ❤️

🎃 Age: 1 year old
🦇 Weight: 55.12 pounds
👻 Fully vetted: Yes
🍬 Vaccines: Up to date
🐾 Home requirement: Must be the only dog, or able to do proper introductions!!
🧡 Adoption fee: $100

Don’t let this sweet boy spend another night at the shelter! Come meet Fudge Cycle and see if he’s the missing piece to your pumpkin patch! 🎃❤️

🎃🐾 Meet Mud Ball! 🐾🎃

This Halloween, Mud Ball isn’t looking for tricks or treats… he’s looking for a forever home! 🧡👻

Don’t let his name fool you! Mud Ball is one handsome boy who’s hoping to find a family to call his own. At just 1–2 years old and around 55 pounds, he’s got plenty of life ahead of him and would love to spend it somewhere other than the shelter! 🐶❤️

Mud Ball is dog selective, meaning he gets along with some dogs but not others. If you already have a dog at home, a meet and greet would be important to make sure they’re a good match!

🎃 Age: 1–2 years old
🦇 Weight: Approximately 55 pounds
👻 Fully vetted: Yes
🍬 Vaccines: Up to date
🐾 Other dogs: Dog selective
🧡 Adoption fee: $100

This Halloween, help Mud Ball trade his shelter kennel for a cozy home! He doesn’t need a costume or a bucket full of candy, just someone willing to give him a chance. 🎃❤️

UPDATE: Adoption Pending!! ❤️

🐾❤️ MEET BENSON — OUR SPECIAL BOY WHO NEEDS A SPECIAL HOME! ❤️🐾

Benson may not be able to see the world around him, but that doesn't mean he doesn't deserve to experience all the love and happiness that comes with having a family of his own. ❤️

This handsome boy came to us as a stray, so unfortunately, we don't know anything about his past. What we do know is that he's a really sweet boy with a personality that makes him even more special!
Benson is blind, but he's learning to find his way around. He has the cutest little habit of throwing his front legs out in front of him when he's walking, almost like he's feeling his way through the world. 🥹
We also tested Benson with another dog, and he did well!

❤️ Name: Benson
🐾 Age: Approximately 6–7 years old
❤️ Weight: 68.8 pounds
🐾 Gender: Male
❤️ Special needs: Blind
🐾 Dog tested: Did well with another dog
❤️ Adoption fee: $50 through October 31st
🐾 Location: Bell County Animal Shelter

🎃 Benson's adoption fee is only $50 through the end of October! Beginning November 1st, the adoption fee will return to $100.

We would absolutely love to see Benson find a home where he can feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

Being blind doesn't mean he can't have a wonderful life. He just needs someone with a little patience and a willingness to help him adjust to his surroundings.
We are reaching out to both adopters and 501c3 rescues who may be willing to give Benson a chance.

We know finding placement for a blind dog may be a little harder, but we also know there are some wonderful people out there who open their hearts to dogs just like him.

🎃🐾 Meet Bandit! 🐾🎃

With that adorable little mask around his eyes, we couldn’t think of a more fitting name for this handsome boy! 🧡👻

Bandit may look like he’s ready to steal all your Halloween candy, but the only thing he’s hoping to steal is someone’s heart! ❤️

At just 1–3 years old, Bandit has plenty of life ahead of him, and he’s hoping to spend it with a family of his very own! Between his beautiful markings, those sweet brown eyes, and that precious little face, it’s hard not to fall in love with him! 🐶❤️

🎃 Name: Bandit
🦇 Age: 1–3 years old
👻 Gender: Male
🐾 Coat: Beautiful black, brown, gray, and white markings
🧡 Adoption fee: $100

This Halloween, don’t let Bandit be the one who gets left behind! He doesn’t need a bag full of treats or a fancy costume. He just needs someone willing to give him a chance! 🎃❤️
