Story
🍯 Meet Honey 🍯 Honey is equal parts Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Roo, & a bit of Eeyore too. The vibes: Pooh= Lovable, gentle, hungry. Food, honey or any food at all is the best thing ever. Tigger= Cheerful, bouncy, enthusiastic although sometimes a bit reckless Roo= Brave, playful, optimistic Eeyore= Good heart, low-key 💛 Honey is so lovable with her kisses, cuddles, and blocky head. Despite her home instability she stays optimistic and brave, loving and trusting everyone. Her cheer & enthusiasm sends her bouncing high when I get home from work. Playful moments are endless with her bestie, the resident Golden Retriever. When her playful adventures are complete she curls up for a low-key nap. Weaknesses= * prey-drive (she has an unhealthy obsession with backyard chickens in trying to jump their fence or barge through it, she sometimes makes a short sprint towards one of the cats but cuddles with them the next). * obedience (she shows little to no realization that I'm calling her unless I sit on the ground and makes kissy noises, but she does seem to understand "kennel up" for mealtime). * enthusiasm (her bounces can knock you over without realizing, she does the bully breed gargle of excitement when she sees other/new dogs especially if on leash and with paw/play somewhat obnoxiously). Strengths= * Gentle (seeing her with calm, gentle, little humans has literally brought me to tears). * Tolerant (other dogs, including the resident sassy Chihuahua, can get grumpy with her and she backs away calmly, without reacting). * Chill/go with the flow (outside she'll lounge in the sun, inside she'll lounge on the couch or in bed). * Cuteness × infinity. 📍Apply to adopt Honey today at campcompanion.org 💲Adoption fee $450 plus tax

Story
Meet Brody – The High-Speed Goofball with a Heart Full of Love Some dogs walk through life. Brody flies through it...usually at full speed. This happy-go-lucky boy is always ready for the next adventure. Whether he's chasing toys, wrestling with dog friends, going for a hike, or curling up beside you after a busy day, Brody gives everything he does 100%. He's affectionate, goofy, incredibly loyal, and loves being part of whatever his family is doing. If you're looking for a dog who will keep you laughing, keep you active, and then happily snuggle on the couch afterward, Brody might just be your perfect match. Brody Loves: * Playing with other dogs * Running and zooming around the yard * Walks and hiking * Car rides * Playing fetch and tug * Sniffing and exploring * Playing with toys * Outdoor patios * Watching TV with his family * Cuddling after a busy day Brody's Favorite Thing: Playing with his dog friends. Brody absolutely loves running and playing with other dogs. One of his foster's favorite things to watch is Brody chasing the resident pups around the yard. He's so fast that he sometimes can't slowdown in time and ends up barrel rolling over or under the other dogs before popping right back up to keep playing. His goofy antics never fail to make everyone laugh. A Loyal Adventure Buddy: Brody is affectionate, eager to learn, and loves being involved in family activities. He's a quick learner who enjoys spending time with his people and thrives when he has structure, consistency, and opportunities to burn off his puppy energy. He does wonderfully with other dogs when given slow introductions and a chance to get comfortable. Large groups of unfamiliar dogs can be overwhelming at first, but with guidance and patience, he continues to build confidence and make friends. A Few Things to Know: * House trained with a consistent routine * Crate trained * Knows "Sit" and "Down" * Loves children * Cats are unknown but would likely do well based on his temperament * High puppy energy * Food motivated and eager to learn * Loves other dogs with slow introductions and smaller play groups * Pulls on leash and is still learning leash manners * May jump up when excited * Can be mouthy during play, as many puppies are * May counter surf if something smells delicious * Can become overstimulated during exciting situations, so continued training and consistency will help him succeed Great Activities for Brody: * Hiking adventures * Park visits * Playing fetch * Running * Car rides * Public outings * Playing with dog friends * One-on-one training sessions Best Match: * Active or outdoorsy adopters * Patient families * Family-friendly homes * Homes with another playful dog after proper introductions * People looking for an energetic companion to share adventures with Three Words That Describe Brody Best: ❤️ Energetic ❤️ Cuddly ❤️ Loyal Foster Location: Galesville, WI Brody came to rescue as an owner surrender and is now looking for a family who will appreciate his fun-loving personality, goofy sense of humor, and enormous heart. With a little guidance and plenty of love, he's going to make an incredible lifelong companion. If you're looking for a playful best friend who will keep you active, make you laugh every day, and then curl up beside you at the end of every adventure, Brody may be the perfect addition to your family.

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.July 14, 2026, 4:43 pm

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?Click here to watch a video of Daniela.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 9, 2026, 10:37 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. 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
Doug is in the house!This big, handsome boy is Doug. He came to PCHS when he was found as a stray and no one claim to claim him. While we do not know a lot about his back ground, we do know that he is super friendly, loves people, and has an exceptional enthusiasm for life! Doug is estimated to be a pitty/lab mix and roughly 2 years old. He does know some very basic commands such as sit, he will need some practice with his leash manners. He is a very strong boy and using a harness to walk him would be recommended. Doug is a smart boy and would likely learn more commands with some time and consistency. He would love a fenced in yard where he can run around and burn off some energy, however, we are not requiring it. Doug would do best with another dog who can match his play style, or being the center of your attention! He would do best in a home without cats. If Doug sounds like he could be a good fit for you, apply online today!*Kids 16 years of age or olderAdoption fee is $350 + $30 microchip fee + tax

Story
This handsome fella is Kermit! Kermit recently came to PCHS and is settling in. He was seized from his original home as he was not being cared for properly, and a rescue partner reached out asking PCHS for help. Kermit is understandably wary, but does enjoy spending time with our staff and volunteers, going for walks, and spending time out in the nice weather. He`s a bit unsure of other dogs, so he may prefer to either be the center of attention, or have another calm and confident dog to learn from, who won`t overwhelm him. Kermit is a bigger dog, weighing around 85 pounds, and would benefit from his new family having some larger dog experience. If you think Kermit is meant to be a part of your family, apply online! *Children 12 years of age or older recommended**Adoption fee: $350 + $30 microchip fee + tax
