Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Quest was surrendered to the shelter on 5/9/2025 due to rental restrictions. He is 5 years old and was a very loved dog who had lived in his home his whole life. His owners were forced to relocate and couldn't find an affordable place that would accept dogs like him. Quest is a mix of boxer, Doberman, and pit bull, and he is big and strong. He has been fully vetted and microchipped. His fee of $150 is fully sponsored. Quest did live with his canine sibling in his home and was fine. They grew up together. We do think that he'd be okay with a mellow female dog of similar size. No smaller animals. He would do best in an adult only home. Teens are okay.  Shelter life has been hard on our Quest and he has lost a significant amount of weight. We've had him completely vet checked and this weight loss is due to the stress of the shelter environment. He would make a very loving and loyal companion. He needs a home! NOTE:  Adoptions are done via private appointment once an application has been completed and approved. Applications must be submitted at our website, mchs.rescuegroups.org. We are located at 101 22nd St. SE in Austin, right next to the airport. It's exit 180B off of I-90, right off of 218 South. We do require that potential adopters be at least 21 years old and that any resident dogs be up to date on vaccinations, heartworm testing/preventatives, and spayed or neutered.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 14, 2026, 4:51 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Ares arrived on 6/17/2025 as a transfer from one of our rescue friends, so he has passed his one year anniversary at the shelter. He's a big, handsome, stocky dude with a large capacity to have fun. He's around 6 years old and looks like he could be mixed with a handful of large breeds of dog, like boxer, pit bull, shepherd, and mastiff. He has been fully vetted and microchipped and his fee is $125. Ares is a strong guy who would prefer to be the only pet in the home. He is pretty well mannered. He would love to be with someone who can give him the good exercise he needs. He's also pretty content to chill out on a couch with someone after playtime. He loves to play and is a big fan of playing tug with a strong rope toy. He's also very neat and keeps his kennel spotless. He's fairly easygoing and doesn't demand a lot. FENCED YARD REQUIRED.

Story
This is Dutchess she is a 4 year old boxer mix not spayed. She is very sweet and friendly just a little shy. Someone I know got her dumped on them and they don’t have the space for her. I’m trying to help before surrendering her to a shelter is the last option. She is currently in Dodge Center MN but I’d be willing to bring her to you or meet halfway if that works.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.​Meet Daniela: Future Boss of the House! ​ ​About Daniela ​Daniela is the perfect mix of small size, big heart, and a massive personality. She is charming, sassy, and full of pure wiggle-butt enthusiasm! Daniela is happy and safe in her foster home, but she would honestly prefer not to have to compete the resident dogs for attention anymore. ​Personality & Quirks ​Daniela's presence fills the entire room—and she will absolutely bully you into giving her the attention she deserves! She has an endless supply of love and antics to share, along with a relentless dedication to making sure you don't forget about her. ​The Wiggle-Butt Welcome: Expect a full-body wag every time you walk through the door, or really anytime Daniela hasn't seen you for longer than 10 seconds. Her enthusiasm for her humans is absolutely unmatched! ​Snack Time Focus: When it's snack time, Daniela gives her full attention to a good chew toy or a peanut butter Kong. ​The Sweet Snoozer: Once she has had enough activity and attention, she will snooze and snore anywhere that is cozy. She will gladly go into her kennel, as long as it is comfy and comes with a treat. ​ Training & Home Manners ​Daniela has been working hard on her manners in her foster home. She thrives on routine, positive reinforcement, and structure (mostly to remind her that you actually own the house). Accidents in the house have never been an issue—Daniela is far too much of a Queen to violate that particular code. ​ The Ideal Home ​Daniela would do wonderfully in a home that wants a dog with a big personality to be the absolute center of their world. She’s looking for a family that will continue to guide her with love, keep her active, and doesn't mind being affectionately bullied into on-demand playing and petting. ​Are you ready to welcome this sassy and hilariously demanding girl into your life?Daniela is such a tiny little nugget and not your typical 'boxer' so here is her DNA test:45% Boxer41% Bulldog6% American Bulldog4% American Pitbull Terrier4% BullmastiffClick here to watch a video of Daniela.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 14, 2026, 5:15 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. 8/25/2026 Update from foster mom: Ms Sammy or just Sammy is the perfect blend of activity.  She loves playing with toys and chasing the laser pointer or snoozing the day away in her bed. Sammy likes being around people especially the littles ones. She could play with them all day. It’s hard for me to believe this girl is 10. Sammy loves her toys so much she is not the best at sharing them with other dogs. She likes to steal them away but doesn’t appreciate it back. Sammy would do good as an only dog or with a dog that has boundaries.  Sammy doesn’t like to play rough with other dogs. She more the chill type. Sammy likes baths, walks, car rides, and lots of cuddles. Sammy is also very good off leash and follows basic commands.  Ms Sammy is amazing and looking for her amazing family!  ******************************************************************* My name is Miss Sammy. I was a sidekick for a truck driver since I was 6 weeks old. Then I could not easily get in the truck and my dad's new company said I could not ride with him any longer. The transition has been confusing to me after I made a long road trip from Ohio to MN where I met my foster family. I would bark at the door and outside. My foster mom thinks I was hoping my family would hear and find me. But I have lots of love in my heart and have opened it up to my foster family. I follow my foster Mom around like a Velcro dog. My favorite pastime is when the kids play with me. They squeak my toys and crinkle the paper inside. I get so excited when they do this. Sometimes I even bark at them to ask them to play. I have a white face but don't let that fool you. I still have bursts of energy. My foster kiddo discovered I fetch the ball one day. I love to bring it back. But when the foster dog jumped in front of me and grabbed the ball I got pretty upset. He is bigger than me so I feel like I have to let him know who is boss. It would not be a good idea to play fetch with another dog present. I growl at him through the baby gate when we eat our food so I food guard, as well. Otherwise, I am chill around him and we get along. I am 60-65lbs and I look so tiny. But I am pretty solid. I have not asked to jump on the couch, but I did whine a little to get on the bed. However, I am fine sleeping on my dog pillow next to my foster parents' bed. I fuss a little bit when put in the kennel, but then I calm down and nap. I do not pull on a leash. I do bark at other dogs. When I am riding in the car, I bark at anything that moves. My foster mom does not know if I am doing it out of anxiety from the move or if this is typical of me. But I am an all-around great dog. I am trained and my foster mom says I am easy to have around. If you have stairs in your home my foster mom wants you to know I am a little slow going up steps, but the vet did not find arthritis. He did say I need to lose 5lbs, otherwise, I am healthy. He said with my cute personality I will go fast. If you are looking for a pretrained smart, playful, but also calm companion I am the one for you. I will melt your heart with my soulful gaze, when I am trying to tell you something. And I am pretty vocal once I know you.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Greer is a short and stocky pit bull type girl who originally arrived at MCHS from the city pound on 11/6/2025. She is now around 4 years old and has become a long-term resident after hitting a year at the shelter. A little over a month after she came in, Greer was adopted, but the people decided she just wasn't the best fit for their household and made the hard decision to return her after 5 months on 5/9/2026. She has been vet checked, spayed and microchipped, and her fee is $150.  Greer's adopters loved her very much and put her through professional obedience training. She really would love a home in which she is not left alone for long hours. She has done okay with some well mannered male dogs. She does bond very closely to her people, and she will regular exercise. She is strong and active and loves to have space to romp and play. She would do best in a home without cats. Kids over 10 should be okay. NOTE:  Adoptions are done via private appointment once an application has been completed and approved.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Whitaker was originally surrendered in February 2026 with 6 littermates, when they were all only around 2 months old. Their owners were overwhelmed with too many dogs and several of these pups' relatives came through our shelter and were adopted over the past year, including their father, a purebred yellow lab. All of the dogs had great personalities! Whitaker was adopted and so were his siblings, and he lived in his home for 5 months, but a huge change in the family dynamic made it necessary for him to be returned to us on 11/7/2026. Whit is a pit bull/lab mix who is barely a year old and has already been vet checked, microchipped, and fully vaccinated. He will be neutered on Nov. 19th and his fee is $150. Whitaker is large, happy, playful, and affectionate. He is still a young boy and might have some growing left to do. He lived with younger children and was great with them. He has done well with other dogs and coexisted peacefully with cats. He is a bit on the clumsy side as he's still technically a big puppy. He has had some training but would love to learn some new stuff. He's an all around good dog! NOTE:  Adoptions are done via private appointment once an application has been completed and approved.

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Rowen came to MCHS on 4/23/2022 from our friends at the Rescue Network after he was rescued from a Reservation in South Dakota. He was in a home for some months in 2025, but it did not work out, even though his adopter tried very hard with him. Rowen bonded very closely to her and was not tolerant of her husband or outsiders. However, we are not giving up on Rowen as we do believe that his perfect fit is out there, somewhere. His adoption fee is sponsored. Rowen's DNA was submitted for testing by a volunteer a while ago, and it came back that he is approximately 25% German shepherd and 75% pit bull type dog. Our volunteers have become very fond of Rowen over the years, having spent time with him since his arrival in 2022, when he was about a year old. He is now around 5 years old, knows his shelter routine, and is incredibly affectionate with the volunteers and demands belly rubs. However, everyone does not want Rowen to stay in the shelter forever. Rowen has had basic training and enjoys a good, brisk walk and playing fetch. He would benefit from continued training and boundaries, as he does like to push them. He's looking for an adult only home without a lot of foot traffic. He's a happy and outgoing dog with a slight mischievous streak that is kinda endearing. Importantly, he needs to be the only pet in the home and would do best with a fenced yard. He is a big, strong, and active dog who will require regular exercise to keep him happy and well balanced.
