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. JASMINE (female) came from a litter of 7 -- 5 girls; 2 boys. Mama is a white shepherd-type dog about 40#. Daddy was probably the local Casanova, maybe a Border Collie mix. These pups were born on the first night we had freezing weather and 2 courageous ladies went out in the cold and caught the stray mama and her 7 puppies and brought them to our rescue. DOB 1/17/26. JASMINE is playful and very happy. She has a beautiful golden color with some white and a tail that curls over her back. She currently is 25# and will probably be about 40-45# when grown. She is spayed, all 4 DAPP vaccinations including Leptospirosis, Rabies, and Bordetella. She will be a great family dog. She loves other dogs of all ages and size. She also leaves my cats alone. Like most puppies, she does bark … not good for an apartment. She is used to be in a kennel as well as being in the puppy pen outside. This is a great deal!!!

APPLICATION or INQUIRY...Please email or text me for the e-mail version of our application/inquiry. Currently our application is not working... Terry 210-394-6060..or petcentralsatx@gmail.com. Include dog's name in the inquiry. Jack is a male Shepherd mix, about 5 yrs old. He weighs 45#. He is a good dog... no aggression but also no training. He has been getting some leash training of which he's doing very well. This guy needs to have a companion to take him everywhere, go on hikes, and maybe even swimming. He loves people and is great with other dogs. He does need daily exercise but I’m sure he will calm down after he knows he’s in a forever home and gets his love and exercise every day. He deserves a second chance…he needs someone who believes in him! Check our You Tube Video: https://youtu.be/zawD9-77Oxs This dog is CURRENTLY IN TEXAS and available for pre-adoption.

Some dogs just want a home. Max wants his person. The kind of person he can nap beside after a long day of playing outside. The kind that laughs at his goofy big-baby personality, gives him a sunny spot to lay in, and keeps a few treats nearby because food is absolutely the way to his heart. And those big brown eyes? They look at you with so much love and hope it’s impossible not to feel something. The kind of eyes that make you wonder how he’s still waiting for someone to choose him. He’s learning beautifully, loving deeply, and trying so hard to be someone’s perfect dog. All he’s missing now is his forever home. 

 When your application is approved, we put you in touch with the foster for FaceTime so you can see your puppy in real time and ask questions. It's a process that's worked for hundreds of dogs over the past fifteen years.

 Max is neutered, rabies, puppy vaccines and boosters, microchip, dewormed, parasite prevention. He comes with medical records.

 Max is approximately 5 months old and weighs about 30 pounds. He has big bones and will likely grow over 60 pounds. 

 Max lives In a Foster Home with a working couple, adult dogs, 3 puppies, and cats. His fosters think a lot of him and are anxious to speak with you and tell you how smart this beautiful dog is! 

 There is lots of room to write on the application. Please tell us about yourself, and your pets, current or previous.

 Transport arrives 6/5 with our adopted dogs. $585 total adoption fee includes transportation and a health certificate from a licensed vet. Serious adopters should fill out the application online and we'll be in touch in a day or two.

Freckles across his nose, a little black “Batman mask,” happy tippy-taps when he’s excited, and a heart that clearly wants to belong… this is Holliday. Equal parts goofy charm and affectionate shadow, Holliday is the kind of dog who leans all the way into love. His biggest dream? A couch, a person, and permission to pretend he’s a lap dog. Want to see those adorable tippy taps and that little masked face in action? Head over to YouTube and then come right back to learn more about the boy who believes every good day should include affection, snacks, and a welcoming lap to climb into. https://youtu.be/lPFbycVn8XA Holliday is estimated to be about 2 years old and appears to be a Border Collie mix but given he is a rescue, breed and birthday cannot be guaranteed. From the moment you meet him, Holliday’s affectionate nature is easy to see. He absolutely lights up when people give him attention and has a charming little habit of doing “tippy taps” with his feet when he’s happy or excited. It’s the kind of happy motion that makes everyone around him smile whether they are meeting for the first time or its a familiar connection. And inside its only sweeter, he is affectionate and his aspirations for lap-dog life really shine. Holliday is more than happy to make the first move and will come in close to soak up the love and lean in for a new nestling nose kisses. He is still learning some of the everyday things that come with the cozy life as a family dog. For example, couches were a new concept to him. When invited up, he wasn’t quite sure how to get there at first and needed a little boost. Moments like that tell us he’s likely still discovering what a comfortable home life looks like. The good news is that he’s eager to connect with people, smart and very responsive to guidance, which makes him a wonderful boy to open your heart and home to. On leash, Holliday is enthusiastic and currently pulls a bit, especially when he sees other dogs he’d like to meet. Much of his life before rescue life was spent on a very short leash outdoors so the world is understandably very exciting to him right now. With a confident understanding handler he has been making great progress with continued leash training. He is also very responsive to direction, correction, and listens well when told “no.” With other dogs, Holliday shows friendly curiosity. When meeting dogs he likes to sniff hello and then wander off to explore the yard. Play is still a bit of a mystery to him, but with the right dog companion we have seen he learns quickly and is easily invited to play even if she doesn’t know the steps after that. When meeting new dogs he reads them well and respects boundaries and limits easily. We can see him being a wonderful fit for a home with medium-energy, similarly sized dogs. Holliday is also very food motivated, which is wonderful for training. He eats enthusiastically and takes treats gently. Because Holliday can be a little jumpy, which he is working on, when he’s excited to receive affection, we think he’ll do best in a home with older kids who won’t be knocked over by his enthusiastic greetings. His affection truly comes from a joyful place and is gentle, not rough or heavy footed. He just hasn’t quite learned yet that hugs don’t always have to involve all four feet leaving the ground, but some people do enjoy those big, warm dog hugs. A home with a yard would be ideal for Holliday while he continues building his leash skills, giving him space to stretch his legs and explore safely. With time, guidance, and a loving environment, we think this freckled little masked hero is going to blossom into a wonderful, lap-loving, whole-new-world companion and sidekick. If you’re looking for a dog who will greet you with tippy taps, shower you with affection, and happily grow alongside you as he learns what family life is all about, Holliday is your guy!

Meet Rocket 🚀 Rocket is a brilliant German Shepherd mix with a big heart and an even bigger sense of adventure. She’s travelled all the way here from Seattle! She’s the kind of dog who’s happiest when she has a job to do, a trail to explore, or a game to play. Rocket absolutely shines when it comes to learning and activity—her favorite tricks are spins and jumps, and she especially loves anything involving scent work. Whether it’s running, hiking, training sessions, or other physical activities, Rocket is always ready to go. Rocket can be a little cautious around new people at first and appreciates being given time to warm up. But once she trusts you, she becomes incredibly loyal, affectionate, and deeply connected to her person. One of her favorite things in the world is being pet and sung to before breakfast each morning. Rocket would thrive with an active adopter who can give her plenty of exercise, enrichment, and opportunities to use both her body and her smart mind.
