DOB 2/1/26; currently about 30# and will probably get to be 45-50#s, best guess. She is the most adorable puppy EVER! She is enthusiastic & confident; curious & playful; and very smart. She has almost mastered walking on a leash and she is good in her crate. She loves car rides. She is mostly quiet in the kennel, except when she needs to do her business! She loves people and dogs of All sizes and ages. Because she is young, we don’t recommend very young children be around her. In her puppy playfulness, she would probably knock the little ones down. Curious, interested in cats but not aggressive. Loves treats so she will be easy to train. She plays with the rope toy or stick with you, but she does not return it yet. She definitely acts goofy when she plays but also loves to snuggle in your lap. 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.

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.

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!

Zeus King of the Goldens is one of those dogs whose happiness is written all over his face. With his gorgeous long coat, huge glowing smile, and affectionate heart, this handsome boy has spent his entire life being loved—and now he's looking for a family ready to make sure his next chapter is just as full of it! Born August 27, 2020, Zeus is 6 years old, weighs approximately 56.4 lbs, and is believed to be a Border Collie/Golden Retriever mix. He has lived with the same owner his entire life and is being surrendered through no fault of his own. Zeus has been very well cared for, and finding a home that will love him just as deeply is incredibly important to everyone who knows him! Watch Zeus in action, then come back to ready more! https://youtu.be/jpJd_k1gGb8 Zeus is a wonderfully well-balanced dog. He's smart, affectionate, playful, and fairly quiet, with an easygoing side that makes him just as happy relaxing with his people as he is heading outside for some fun. He can be a little reserved when first getting to know someone, but give him a little time and you'll discover the biggest snuggle bug underneath all that beautiful fur. Once Zeus decides you're his person, personal space becomes optional. He loves belly rubs, massages, cuddles, and affection, and he's perfectly happy stretching his entire 56-lb body across his owner's lap as though he's still a tiny puppy. His smile seems to take over his entire face when he's happy, and it's almost impossible not to smile right along with him. Then bring out a ball and you'll see another side of Zeus. Fetch is one of his absolute favorite things. He loves spending time outside, running around, playing, and simply enjoying the fresh air alongside his person. In his familiar environment, Zeus does wonderfully without a leash. He doesn't try to take off, stays connected to his owner, and responds when called. A home with a backyard where he can continue enjoying that freedom would be a wonderful fit for him. He's also an excellent car passenger. His owner's vehicle doesn't have traditional back seats, so Zeus is accustomed to riding in a more open setup and handles car rides without any issues. And despite that luxurious long coat, grooming doesn't have to be an ordeal—Zeus does well with both bathing and grooming. Zeus has spent his life as part of a pack, but meeting unfamiliar dogs is something he's still building confidence with. During his behavior assessment, being introduced to several new dogs of different sizes and personalities became a little overwhelming. Rather than escalating when he was uncomfortable, Zeus consistently chose to create distance and calmly remove himself from the situation. That's an important part of who Zeus is. He's a conflict-avoidant dog who would rather walk away than argue. Interestingly, our small dog brought out more curiosity in him. Zeus voluntarily approached, sniffed, and showed interest in getting acquainted—more engagement than he offered some of the other unfamiliar dogs. He's accustomed to living around other dogs, but new canine friendships should happen slowly and thoughtfully, allowing Zeus to build confidence at his own pace. Continued positive socialization would help him become more comfortable meeting new dogs without overwhelming him. Zeus could potentially share his forever home with the right canine companion, but he doesn't need a house full of new dog friends to be happy. A respectful dog and thoughtful introduction would be much more his style than being thrown into a busy, high-energy pack. Cats, however, are not a match for Zeus, so his forever home will need to be feline-free. His leash manners are another area where a little continued practice will go a long way. Zeus is accustomed to having plenty of freedom outdoors, so structured leash walking isn't quite as natural to him yet. He's an intelligent boy, though, and with consistency and positive practice, he has plenty of potential to polish those skills. Zeus also experiences some separation anxiety. He has spent all six years of his life with the same owner and familiar pack, so losing everything he has always known will understandably be a significant transition. His new family should be prepared to give him patience, consistency, and reassurance while he learns that his new home and people aren't going anywhere. What Zeus really wants from life isn't complicated. Throw the ball. Rub the belly. Let him enjoy the backyard. Take him along for a car ride. Let all 56 lbs of him climb into your lap when he decides it's cuddle time. And when he flashes that enormous Zeus smile at you, you'll understand exactly why this boy is so loved. Zeus isn't starting over because he did something wrong. He's simply a well-loved dog whose circumstances have changed, and now he needs someone willing to give him the security of belonging to a family again. If you're looking for a smart, affectionate, playful, beautifully balanced companion who can spend the afternoon playing fetch and the evening being your oversized snuggle buddy, Zeus King of the Goldens may be ready to make your home his new kingdom!

Meet Wiley! Wiley is an approximately 1.5 year old Border Collie/Australian Shepherd mix (best guess) with a happy personality and a very smart mind. He is an active boy who is always ready for his next adventure and would thrive with a family that understands the needs of intelligent working breeds. Wiley is high energy and will need a breed knowledgeable owner committed to continuing his training and providing both mental and physical stimulation. He is eager to learn and already does pretty well on a leash. With consistency and structure, Wiley has the potential to become an incredible companion. He would do best with an active family that enjoys walks, outdoor activities, training, and keeping their dogs engaged. Wiley is the kind of dog who wants to be involved in life right alongside his people. Wiley is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines and preventions. Local adoption fee is $300 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)
