Story
With her beautifully expressive dark eyes and a wonderfully scruffy coat, Annabelle looks like a little plush toy come to life. This ten-month-old sweetheart is brand new to our care and is already proving to be an exceptionally brave, gentle soul. Annabelle is currently navigating a front leg injury that our dedicated veterinary team is working diligently to resolve. Despite her physical discomfort, her resilient spirit shines right through, and she greets every single caretaker with a soft, hopeful gaze and complete trust. Because the bustling energy of a shelter environment makes relaxing difficult, we are searching for a compassionate foster provider who can offer her a quiet, safe indoor sanctuary. This friendly young girl needs a calm, low-activity space where she can strictly rest her body, soak up gentle companionship, and focus entirely on her healing journey. By opening your heart to her temporary care, you will be providing the vital comfort and stability she needs to make a full recovery. Foster this brave, sweet girl today and give her the quiet space she needs to heal.

Border Terrier Terrier (Unknown Type, Small)

Male, 5 yrs 5 mos
Kyle, TX

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.

Lulu

Border Terrier Mixed Breed (Small)

Female, 8 mos
Temple, TX
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Lulu is a 8‑month‑old, 21‑pound Boston Terrier mix with the softest eyes and the gentlest little heart. She may be shy when meeting new people, but once she feels safe, she blossoms into the sweetest, most affectionate girl. She is especially shy with men, so she'll do best in a home with only a female or a very patient man. She’s spayed, microchipped, current on vaccines, and heartworm negative. Lulu is kennel trained and making great progress with her potty training — she’s almost got it down. Lulu gets along wonderfully with other dogs but is cat pesky and discovered it's fun to chase them. So, she would be most successful in a cat free home. Because she gains confidence from canine friends, she’ll thrive in a home with another playful, friendly dog who can show her the ropes. If you’re looking for a tender, gentle companion who will reward your patience with endless love, Lulu might be your perfect match.

White Pine

Cairn Terrier Schnauzer (Miniature)

Female, 3 yrs 2 mos
Austin, TX
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
White Pine may be a little shy in the kennel, but once she gets into a home, this sweet girl shows just how special she really is. She is perfectly lap-sized and loves to curl up close to her people, whether that means snuggling into a blanket, resting on a pillow, or tucking herself in beside you for some quality cuddle time. Her favorite things are simple: soft spots, stuffies, gentle affection, and being near the people she loves. She is a true Velcro dog who will happily follow you from room to room, just to be part of your day. White Pine also has wonderful home manners. She is potty-trained and will stand by the door when she needs to go outside, does well when left alone, and has shown no signs of being destructive. She is quiet, calm, and low-maintenance, making her a lovely match for someone looking for a gentle companion with an affectionate heart. She is also great on leash and enjoys getting out for relaxed strolls. White Pine previously lived in a home with multiple dogs and may have the potential to live with a well-matched canine friend, but people are truly her favorite companions. After being adopted from APA! when she was a just young puppy and returned as an adult, White Pine is ready for a true forever home where she can settle in, feel safe, and spend her days being the cuddly little shadow she was meant to be.

Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
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 6 mos
Austin, TX
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Sitter needed: 07/08/26 - 07/15/26 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!
