My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Delphina — the little ray of sunshine who’ll steal your heart 💛

After being rescued from a West Texas shelter, this sweet, pocket-sized girl has been busy soaking up all the love Austin has to offer. And honestly? She gives back just as much as she gets.

Delphina is pure joy wrapped in a wiggly, snuggly, slightly silly package. Every day when her foster mom comes home, she grabs one of her toys or bones — whatever she can find for emotional support — and comes running, tail wagging, whole body wiggling, ready to say hi. It’s impossible not to smile.

She’s got the goofiest personality, too. Her “graceful” dismount from the couch involves stretching into a full frog-leg sploot and sloooowly sliding off until she finally plops to the floor. And when the zoomies hit? Look out — she gets those wild eyes and spins herself in circles like a happy little tornado.

When she’s not cracking you up, Delphina’s all about the cozy life. She loves to lean her full weight against you for scratches, nap nearby while you work or read, and follow you from room to room just to stay close. She’s easygoing at home, perfectly content to nap the day away, and so excited to see her people when they walk through the door.

Delphina’s the kind of dog who makes every day brighter — silly, sweet, and full of heart. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who’ll bring warmth, laughter, and a whole lot of wiggles into your home, this girl’s waiting to meet you.

Follow her adventures at @Delphina_thefosterpup to see just how special she is.
