Story
UGGGHHHH GET READY TO FALL IN LOVE. Seriously. We have a feeling Scotty is about to become your next obsession. This ridiculously adorable little guy came to us from the shelter, and between his snaggletooth smile, expressive little face, and BIG personality, Scotty is impossible not to love. Hes basically the neighborhood social butterfly. Scotty LOVES other dogs and has proven to be incredibly friendly. One day an off-leash dog came barreling over to say hello, and Scottys response was basically, OMG A NEW FRIEND! Hes also a potty-trained PRO (as long as hes let out regularly), loves car rides, and if youre headed somewhere, hes already calling shotgun. When hes not making everyone laugh with his hilarious little bulldog conversations, youll usually find him carrying around a bone, chomping on a favorite chew, or begging someone to throw a tennis ball just one more time. One thing you may notice is Scottys adorable little smile. He was born with a cleft palate, but thankfully his cleft is located toward the very front of his mouth rather than farther back, where clefts can create a much larger opening into the nasal cavity. Because of where his is, it doesnt slow him down one bit! He eats well, plays hard, and lives life exactly the way every happy dog should. Hes sweet, goofy, incredibly entertaining, and has the kind of personality that fills a room. If youve been looking for a dog who keeps you laughing, loves to play, and is always up for an adventure, Scotty might just be your perfect match!

Story
Holding Out for Hero: Brimsley’s Second Chance Brimsley is a striking, soulful boy with a charcoal “pirate” patch, amber-flecked eyes, a pink freckled nose, and the softest velvety ears you’ll ever feel. At three years old, he’s past the puppy stage but still full of life, quietly hoping his story is about to turn a brighter page. He was once adopted as a puppy and grew up knowing the comfort of a home, but he has found his way back through no fault of his own. His previous family cared for him, but they didn’t have the resources to provide the basic care he needed. Now, everything familiar is gone, and the busy shelter environment has left him confused and a little unsure. Even so, Brimsley hasn’t lost his gentle heart—he’s just waiting for someone to show him that he’s safe again. With a little patience and kindness, Brimsley begins to lean in, revealing a deeply loyal and loving companion who wants nothing more than to belong. He’s good with other dogs and would likely enjoy a canine friend or a calm home where he can settle in at his own pace. He is neutered and ready to start fresh with someone willing to be his steady, reassuring presence. Bringing Brimsley home means offering him the second chance he deserves—and in return, you’ll gain a devoted companion whose gratitude is felt in every quiet moment by your side. If you feel that pull to be the hero he’s been holding out for, reach out to learn more about adopting or fostering him.

Phoebe is one passionate pup! From playtime, to meals, to her people and the pups she calls friends - she is ALL in. Phoebe has done amazing in her foster home earning back her health and confidence from what we can only imagine was a long time on the streets as she was incredibly thin. When our team found her, she was roaming emaciated, covered in urine with her poor nails growing into her skin. She was shy and sweet and just wanted to feel safe and loved. She has lived successfully with her two foster sisters and although few, she has enjoyed other dogs she has met! She loves humans, too! If you think she looks like a Boston well you’re in luck because this girl comes fully loaded with Boston howls and hog sounds. 📍 Phoebe is available for adoption in Austin, TX

Story
*CURRENT OWNER WILL HELP W/ TRANSPORT & EXPENSES!. 39 LBS. 9 YO. Rebel is a great companion and I've had her for 8 yrs. I'm a military therapist moving out of the country near the end of July- and would love to take her- but they won't ship her breed and she may not do well in that environment at her age. I am hoping to find a home for her where she would have a yard and I would be happy to help pay for expenses indefinitely. Rebel loves all people and she mostly cuddles- but is down to do anything. No health problems and she's a very happy girl. She gets along with SOME other dogs… but not all. She was attacked by an escaped dog, so she usually gets scared of other dogs at first, and then if she meets them and trusts them, she warms up and will even cuddle with them and play. Please let me know if you may be interested in having this sweet girl in your life. Even a temp foster would be great so I have some more time to find a permanent home or find a way to get her to me. Thank you!

Story
Mr. T (f.k.a. Taco) is an approximately 8 year old male Boston Terrier. He is a big sweet boy weighing around 28 pounds. He is so full of love and ready to share it with everyone that he meets! He has never met a stranger! Mr. T LOVES: - Walks! He will wait by his leash and remind you daily that he is a good boy and should get to go on a walk! - Sleeping in the sunbeam - everyday he wants to take a nice nap, belly up & soak up the sun! - Toys! - Snuggles - he requires a spot next to you (or on your lap!) - Other dogs - especially if they want to play with him! He can be a bit puppy-like in his play, so if he has a fur-sibling, they would need to be patient with him or match his playful vibe. - Car rides - he is always up for an adventure! His dream day consists of a walk, some playtime, food and snacks in between, and lots of snuggling. On a sunny day, you will find him happily snoozing in a sun beam. He is so sweet and sensitive and the perfect companion! Mr. T is Heartworm negative, neutered, up to date on vaccines and microchipped. He is also house trained and crate trained. If you are interested in potentially meeting Mr. T - please fill out the adoption application. His adoption fee is $150. Adoption application available at: www.texassweetiesdogrescue.org

Story
Sweet Pea is a senior, female, Boston Terrier who weighs about 23 pounds. She turned 14 on March 17th. As her name implies, she is a such a good, sweet girl, and seems to get along with the other dogs that she has met. She is house trained and potty trained and loves to play with her toys, chew on treats, and enjoy a comfortable spot to lay. She is losing her hearing and her sight, but she adapts very well. Sweet Pea is very social and loves to be around her humans (or any humans that want to hang with her!). She is a little shadow following her people around the house and wants to be where the activity is. She is not super cuddly, but she does like to stay close by. She also likes going for car rides and visiting new places and people and eating all the treats! Sweet Pea is spayed, microchipped, HW negative, and up to date on vaccines. She does have a high grade heart murmur, and she currently takes a daily heart medication. We do have access to a few years of vet records for her, and are happy to answer any questions that we are able to about her. She is such a sweet and special girl, and deserves the best golden years! She is a senior and does need a home that knows she has some conditions that will need monitored for progression. If you are interested in potentially meeting Sweet Pea, please fill out the adoption application. Her adoption fee $150. Adoption application available at: www.texassweetiesdogrescue.org

Story
Meet Big Booty Looty Booty came to us with a story that started out scary. Breeder surrendered to us, he was born with a bilateral cleft lip and palate. A few weeks in our care one extra buggy eye had us suspecting more- possibly hydrocephalus. Our first visit left us bracing for the worst and we were told his case was severe and he may not have much time. But Booty had other plans. Since then, we've seen a neurologist who gave us real hope: turns out his hydrocephalus is manageable with a low daily dose of an easy, over-the-counter medication that helps keep fluid draining properly. Three months in and he's continuing to thrive on it. Booty currently has zero deficits and no symptoms. As for that cleft lip and palate? It's a total non-issue these days- you'd never know it slowed him down early on. We held onto him a little longer than we normally would, just to be absolutely sure there weren't any other surprises waiting for us, but we believe we can safely say- by every account- this boy is a special kind of perfect. Booty has been spoiled rotten with us, and honestly, he's earned it. He's used to being right in the middle of everything- lawn games, ice cream sundaes, you name it. He doesn't want to just be a pet. He wants to be a family member, included in the everyday moments, not tucked away in a crate. If you're looking for a white shadow who wants to be part of every single thing you do, he's your boy. One of his simple joys? Watering the plants. He's a helper. Like all Frenchies, he needs his summer outdoor time kept brief and monitored, but he'll happily supervise your gardening any day and the water helps keep him cool. He's gentle and affectionate with everyone- cats, dogs, kids, adults, all of it. Bully sticks, balls, and crinkly toys are the way to his heart. He's still working on potty training (a common thing for hydro babies to be a bit behind on), but he's getting the hang of it and improving every day. His only real "flaw"? He will eat until he physically cannot eat anymore, so food left out where he can reach it is a no-go. We think it's a small price to pay for a face like his. Booty is looking for a family who wants a true member of the household- one who understands his medical needs are simple and manageable, and who has all the love and patience to match the love he has to give. He's been through a scary chapter already. Now we're on the hunt for his happily ever after. He is one very special boy, we are looking for a family that is just as special for him!

Story
Whelp- give a pup a few days to settle- fresh from the shelter, little girl was all calm, gentle, and sweet, and now, she is all delicious and delightful FRENCHIE! |She'll parkor, she's got sass, she will counter surf and door dart, and we are here for all of it.Her adjectives are: Adventurous Active Athletic It is such a joy to see pups feel safe enough to be themselves! And despite her entertaining Frenchie antics, Taffy is actually a naturally mellow girl. She loves her toy vegetables, enjoys hanging out with her people, and is perfectly content entertaining herself indoors. She is incredibly sweet, welcoming, and affectionate with everyone she meets. In fact, her fosters say, She is one of the easiest fosters we have ever had. On the flip side, Taffy is a total cuddle bug, LOVES her humans, and is perfectly potty-trained. While she adores both of her foster parents, her foster dad definitely holds the title of favorite human. She knows shes the queen of the castle, and honestly, we agree. We think children 10+ will be the best fit for her, and we know shell thrive in a home where she can be the one and only pup, soaking up all the love, attention, and spoiling she deserves. Her forever family is going to have so much fun loving her! French Bulldogs are not low-maintenance dogs They require patience with training, and daily mental and physical engagement, especially when theyre young.They are playful, opinionated, and full of energy, not couch ornaments.Frenchies thrive in homes that understand the breed and are ready for the commitment.Additionally, although SUPER cute and so yummy & silly, most of our dogs have come from yucky backyard greeders and so, will 100% need to have owners committed to their unique long-term care, health, and wellbeing. Here are just a couple of things that we need to ensure every French Bulldog adopter understands and is comfortable with. All Frenchies MUST HAVE A FULL-SERVICE vet and at MINIMUM an ANNUAL vet appointment. Big-box store vets or mobile/discount shot services are just not going to cut it. Here's the BIG ONE: thanks to their breeding, ALL Frenchie parents have to be ready to manage and IMMEDIATELY treat an episode of IVDD:IVDD 411 All Frenchie parents must be willing to make the time for daily maintenance and grooming: our Frenchies love their spa time and need (at minimum) all of those folds and crevices cleaned that make them so dang cute. It's a sign of your commitment and care. Bulldog adopters have to be willing to administer eye drops; all those folds make for grumpy eyelids. Last but not least, all lucky bulldog parents should expect to manage the ongoing cost of all the goodies associated with loving a bulldog: including but not limited to: high-quality food, eye drops, medicated shampoo, monthly heartworm prevention, fun toys, vet care, and endless scritches and cuddles (This last one is free) PHEW - that's a list, but these guys are so worth it. Your commitment will be rewarded with the love and joy these Frenchies bring into your life. Once you go Bulldog, there's no going back to 'regular' dogs Lovely girl is heartworm-positive, so she must stay close to our vets for her treatment.Don't worry; heartworm infection is way LESS scary than it sounds, and our team will cover the cost of and provide all guidance for her care.

Story
Meet Lady Bug Lady Bug is absolutely packed with personality, and she makes sure everyone knows it. Petting her is NOT optional. If you stop before shes ready, shell happily remind you that your job is not finished with a little paw tap, a headbutt, or by launching herself directly into your personal space. She is funny, expressive, and full of charm. The kind of dog who makes you laugh without even trying. Every morning, the second she gets out of her room, its game on. Were talking zoomies, couch parkour, bed parkour, yard sprints, and enough enthusiasm to power a small city. Lady Bug would be happy as your one-and-only soaking up all the attention, but she also enjoys having a canine friend around, whether theyre playful or more laid back. Were not sure about cats just yet. Because she can be a bit of a flying potato when shes excited, we think older kids would be the best fit for her. Shes crate trained, stays quiet when left alone, and is doing well with her potty training routine. One thing is certain: life with Lady Bug will never be boring. She has arrived, she has opinions, and she fully expects to be included in absolutely everything.
