APPLICATION LINK: https://shaynesrescue.com/adoption-application-pet-central-satx/ We must have an application to move forward. (Shayne's Rescue is an affiliate with PetCentralSATX). If there are problems with the website, please email me for help. CLEO is a Basset Hound mix. We don’t know what the mix is. She is 36#, 16 mos old (est. DOB 2/15/25), and is just as sweet as can be. She is very outgoing, happy, and loves attention. She, along with her two daughters, Carob & Cameo, were found in a parking area close to a storage business along with several other dogs. These 3 were happy and friendly and went running up to my foster…one even jumped in the car! Cleo was in season and Carob was obviously pregnant…dogs running the street when the owners should have taken the responsibility to take care of them. All 3 dogs are lucky…my foster found them and asked to bring them to our ranch. Carob is due to have her pups any day and Cleo & Cameo are vaccinated, spayed, and eating good. Now all they need is a forever home and that’s where you come in. Please give these wonderful dogs a chance. This dog is CURRENTLY IN TEXAS and available for pre-adoption. Adoptions include neuter/spay, vaccinations (DHPP, Bordetella, Rabies), microchip, health certificate, transport with our professional dog transporter, and 6 mos of heart worm prevention. If you have any questions or would like an e-mail from us as to how all of this works, text me (Terry); identify the dog's name and give me your email address... 210-394-6060. You can also go to our Facebook page... https://www.facebook.com/Pet-Central-SATX-866684826744181/ and LIKE us to help us out. After we review your application, we will contact you, and you'll have the opportunity to find out more from the rescue. If you experience any issues filling out the application you can contact us directly at petcentralsatx@gmail.com. This is ONLY if you have problems applying. If you have not applied, you will not receive a response so please only email if you have any issues applying. Adoption Fees The adoption fee includes transportation to the NE. All pups and dogs are fully vetted, spayed/neutered, microchipped, dewormed, have a negative heart worm test for all dogs over 6 months at time of transport, have a health certificate, and have all age-appropriate vaccinations. Some dogs/pups have additional medical, including but not limited to FHO, ACL, hernias, dental, and other vetting. All medical records will be provided to the adopter at the time they pick up their dog. This is a post on behalf of Pet Central SATX Rescue, headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, where there are over 350,000 homeless pets.

Story
Meet Banjo! 🐾 Banjo is a sweet Basset Hound with a mellow soul and the most endearing floppy ears you’ve ever seen. They sway when he walks and nearly touch the ground when he’s on the hunt for an interesting scent—giving him that timeless, heart-melting Basset look. True to his name, Banjo has a calm, gentle rhythm to life. He enjoys leisurely sniff-filled walks, cozy naps, and staying close to his people. Banjo’s soulful eyes and long ears make it impossible not to fall in love, and his loyal, affectionate nature seals the deal. He’s ready for a home that appreciates slow mornings, steady companionship, and a pup who will happily follow you wherever you go (nose first, of course). Banjo would make a wonderful family dog or devoted sidekick for someone looking for a relaxed, loving companion. If you’re searching for a loyal friend with a laid-back vibe and ears that deserve their own fan club, Banjo is ready to play his way into your heart. 🎶🐶 The adoption fee for this puppy is $475, which helps with the cost of routine vet care. A $250 spay/neuter deposit is required at time of adoption. This fee covers spay/neuter at one of PetConnect's preferred veterinary partners. If the adopter chooses to use their own veterinarian, the deposit will be returned with proof of sterilization. Petconnect Rescue cannot guarantee the exact breed of any animal in our care. The breed listed is based on any background we may have been provided, and the general appearance of the animal at the time they enter our system.

Story
Bucky is an irresistibly sweet Basset Hound puppy, best known for his legendary droopy ears. They’re long, velvety, and seem to have a mind of their own—flopping as he walks and framing his soulful eyes perfectly. Those ears don’t just make him adorable; they give him that classic Basset charm that melts hearts instantly. Bucky is gentle, curious, and loves to explore the world nose-first, with his ears often sweeping along behind him like fuzzy capes. He enjoys belly rubs, puppy playtime, and long, cozy naps where his ears become the perfect built-in blanket. He’s still learning his puppy manners and will do best in a loving home ready to guide him as he grows. Bucky would make a wonderful companion for anyone who appreciates a laid-back pup, a loyal friend, and a daily dose of ear-flopping joy. If you’ve ever dreamed of a puppy whose ears arrive before he does, Bucky is ready to listen—literally. The adoption fee for this puppy is $475, which helps with the cost of routine vet care. A $250 spay/neuter deposit is required at time of adoption. This fee covers spay/neuter at one of PetConnect's preferred veterinary partners. If the adopter chooses to use their own veterinarian, the deposit will be returned with proof of sterilization. Petconnect Rescue cannot guarantee the exact breed of any animal in our care.
