Hi, I’m Lilly 💛
I’m about a year and a half old, and I was the longest stay at the Bastrop Animal Shelter.

I’m shy. I’m gentle. I’m the kind of girl who doesn’t beg for attention—I just quietly wait and hope someone sees me. And for a long time… no one did.

But then the BR Best Chance❤️ 🐾 team showed up. They looked right at me and said, “She deserves her turn.”

Now I’m with Aaron at Best Retrievers, and I’m learning how to be brave, how to trust, and how to shine. He says I’m already showing so much heart.

Thank you to the Bastrop Animal Shelter for loving me all this time.
And thank you to Best Retrievers for giving me a soft place to land.

Some of us just bloom a little later. 🌸

🐾 Hi, I’m Mask!
I may have a serious name, but I’ve got a big heart underneath it. I’m a full Belgian Malinois—about two years old—and I’ve landed in the BR Best Chance❤️ 🐾 program thanks to the Bastrop Animal Shelter and our friends at Best Retrievers.

Right now, I’m working closely with my trainer, Hunter, to figure out what kind of home I need. Belgian Malinois like me are super smart and super driven—we’re often police dogs, search and rescue pups, or competitors in agility sports. I’m no exception!

🎣 Hey, I’m Fishhook!
Yep, you guessed it—I got my name the hard way. When I arrived at Bastrop Animal Shelter, I had a real fishhook stuck in my mouth. But thanks to their team, I got the care I needed, and now I’m here with BR Best Chance❤️ 🐾 for a brand-new start.

I’m a stunning Rhodesian Ridgeback mix, and I’ve got the most beautiful ridge down my back you’ve ever seen. My trainer Tori says I’m brave, curious, and oh-so-sweet. I can’t wait to show you my progress!

Huge thanks to Best Retrievers and Bastrop Animal Shelter for teaming up to give dogs like me a second shot.

We’ve got a fresh pack of heart-melters joining the BR Best Chance❤️🐾 family! Meet Mask, Fishhook, Lilly, Max, Lil Dude, and Willie—each one rescued from the shelter and now beginning their four-week training journey with our Best Retrievers team.

Starting today, we’ll be introducing each pup one by one, letting them tell their stories and giving you a peek into the love, training, and transformation behind the scenes.

Stick around—we’ve got tails to wag and futures to shape. 🐕✨

Hi, it’s me—Moxi!
If you’re wondering how I’m doing… let’s just say I’ve mastered the doggy door, claimed my spot on the couch, and figured out snuggles are kind of my thing. 💤💗

When Miss Kristin checked in, my new humans said,
“I don’t know who’s happier—us or her. She’s SO sweet!”

That’s the power of BR Best Chance ❤️🐾. They saw something in me when I was just another face in the shelter. They gave me time, training, and love—just enough for my forever family to find me.

And now? I’m home.

🐾 “The name’s Earmuffs—but my friends call me Muffy. 😌

Life these days? Peaceful. Cozy. Full of belly rubs and soft couches. I’ve officially upgraded to porch naps and people who love me big.

Thanks to BR Best Chance ❤️🐾 for giving this goofy-eared girl a real shot at forever.”
