Story
Macintosh is a sweet, small-scale companion with a look as unique as his name. He has a beautiful golden-tan coat accented by adorable white "sugar-dusting" on his muzzle and between his soulful, dark eyes. With his wide, fuzzy ears and soft, scruffy fur, he is the picture of puppy cuteness. While he is still quite young, he is expected to stay on the smaller side once he is fully grown, making him a great fit for a variety of living situations. Though he is currently on the quiet and observant side, Macintosh’s playful puppy spirit is just waiting for the right environment to truly bloom. He is at the perfect stage of life to begin learning the ropes of being a beloved companion and would thrive with a family ready to provide gentle guidance. Whether you are looking for a pint-sized adventure partner or a dedicated cuddle buddy, this handsome little guy is ready to grow up and share his life with you.

Benny

Border Terrier Terrier (Unknown Type, Small)

Male, 5 yrs 3 mos
Kyle, TX
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Benny was found running the streets in a stray dog pack in the Rio Grande Valley. When he first came here, he was fearful around men and could be a bully to new dogs, but he's come a long way since then. Once he gets to know you, he's a sweet, funny, playful dog who wants to be with you as much as possible. Benny was initially cat-aggressive, but he's been around cats for several months and has grown used to them. He mostly ignores them but sometimes chases them. He can be around cats, but should not be left alone with them. (I kennel him when we leave.) Benny gets along well with most female dogs, but he can be dominant towards male dogs. He shows some resource guarding of both food and people and seems to want to "defend" his people from other dogs. That doesn't mean he can't get along with other dogs or other male dogs, but he needs to be introduced to other dogs carefully. The same can be true for introducing him to new people---he needs some time to build trust. Someone who is willing to take time and socialize Benny with other people and animals would be a great adopter. Benny is a great dog who really wants to please. He is loving, affectionate, and playful.

Story
This is George around 11 years per lady that re- homed him, owner passed away. I took George in around 10 months ago. He loves to walk and play ball. George is healthy, at the time I took in 3 dogs to save from shelter. I have two small dogs Yorkie and Shitzu who now have illness. I am a senior and developed back issues that need medical attention. George is up to date on all shots. He needs a loving home to live out rest of his life. I regret that I can no longer handle 5 dogs. I cannot afford the upkeep with my own health and my two little sick dogs. George came from Oklahoma and lived with 10 Yorkies and couple other dogs his owner passed away from long illness. George is very mellow and good natured would make a great companion for senior. George is inside dog and cannot be out in heat or cold. George is spoiled and loves to play with my silky terrier whom I adopted around same time. I am hoping someone will give him a good loving home. ❤️

Story
Sitter needed: 05/01/26 - 05/04/26 and/or 05/19/26 - 05/22/26 and/or 05/28/26 - 06/02/26 Meet Scrappy – Your Loyal, Playful Sidekick! Scrappy is an adorable 8-year-young pup with the perfect mix of smarts, playfulness, and cuddly charm. Don’t let his age fool you—he’s full of energy and always up for an adventure, whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood, zoomies in a fenced yard, or a road trip (he’s the best passenger and snoozes calmly the whole ride!). This sweet boy has a wonderful training foundation—he knows sit, is working on “lay,” waits patiently at mealtime, and is crate and muzzle trained. He’s eager to keep learning and thrives with structure. Scrappy is also a toy enthusiast who especially loves squeaky toys, fetch (for a few fun tosses), and playtime that keeps his mind engaged. Scrappy gets along beautifully with other dogs and would love to have a canine buddy or two to hang out with. With his dog friends, he’s playful, polite, and happy to just be part of the pack. At home, Scrappy is affectionate, calm, and loves to be by your side. He’s a champion snuggler who will happily share the bed if you let him, and he’ll melt your heart with belly rub requests and sweet kisses. He’s not a big barker and has a cheerful, happy-go-lucky vibe that makes every day brighter. Scrappy would do best in a home with a yard where he can stretch his legs and play, and he’s looking for an adopter who appreciates his loyal, protective nature and will give him a little time to build trust with new people. Once you’re in his circle, he’ll shower you with love, loyalty, and playful energy for life. Scrappy is such a special dog—funny, loving, smart, and full of heart. If you’re looking for a devoted companion who will keep you smiling and make your days brighter, Scrappy just might be your perfect match.

Estella

Cairn Terrier

Female, 8 yrs 5 mos
Austin, TX
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Estella is a soulful, sensitive girl who bonds deeply with her person. She has settled beautifully into a home environment and thrives with predictability, gentle handling, and a calm pace of life. She loves leisurely walks, long naps, and showing off her tricks for treats (those puppy eyes are hard to resist!). She adores squeaky toys and is very gentle when she plays. She’s more “walk and nap” than high-energy. Estella would do best in an adult-only home with a calm, low-traffic environment. She needs a family who understands dog body language and respects her boundaries. She communicates clearly when she’s uncomfortable, so she’ll do best with someone who listens and responds with patience. Estella will flourish with someone patient, attuned, and ready to offer a peaceful home!

Bacca

Cairn Terrier Australian Cattle Dog

Male, 2 mos
Austin, TX
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Good with dogs,
Story
Bacca is a 2.5 month old Cairn Terrier mix with the perfect blend of scruffy charm and playful energy. With a Blue Heeler dad and a 10 pound Cairn Terrier mix mom, he’s expected to stay on the smaller side but brings a big personality wherever he goes. Bacca and his sibling were found on the side of the road, but you’d never guess it from his happy, loving spirit. He’s curious, smart, and already showing that loyal Heeler side, while still being a cuddly little terrier who loves attention. Bacca enjoys playing, exploring, and then crashing in your lap when he’s worn out. He would do great in a home ready for a fun, affectionate puppy that will grow into a devoted companion. Bacca is being fostered in TX but can be transported after adoption. You can apply directly for Bacca by clicking the Apply for Adoption button on the linked page. https://www.shelterluv.com/embed/animal/FODS-A-854 All our dogs come with 30 days of free post-adoption support through Petcademy.org.
