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.September 13, 2026, 1:52 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.August 30, 2026, 9:33 am

He’s a joy to have around. Gets along with other dogs great. Has not been cat tested yet.  He is potty and crate trained. He will whine when he needs something, which is usually to go potty or to get water. Bubba does have a large mass in his armpit.

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.Please contact Darlene Mannino for more information about this pet.Everyone meet Doc! This handsome fellow come from a breeder who no longer needed his services. I picked him up on 7/25/26 and had him neutered on the 26th. The first day, I spent time with him and loving on him. He just looked at me, somewhat confused as to why I was doing that. Since the 26th he has been recovering like a champ that he is and taking it easy! When I let him outside to go potty, he makes the rounds and then will come to wherever I am and lean up against me. He is in a 6x6 foot kennel in the house and hasn’t pottied in it one time. He did pee in the garage one time. He is used to being outside and will need some training in this area. He does know how to sit for a treat. He makes every step I do in the garden, thinking I should be loving on him instead of picking veggies, as he deserves. He lived outside in the fenced yard with a couple of other dogs. He has met my 2 through a pet gate and everyone has wiggly butts. He tries to hide his food and may be food protective. I normally do not feed mine together since one will eat all the food. He would rather eat his food off the floor but we are working on that. Doc is a Big boy and will be well over 80 lbs. He has the most beautiful shiny black coat I have ever seen! He's 10 yrs old and needs a place to retire and enjoy all the love he can handle, some rest and relaxation. I’m pretty sure he will be a Velcro baby. He did walk well for me on the leash.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.August 30, 2026, 9:33 am

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Hi, I’m Buddy and looking for my forever home! I’m currently couch surfing with my foster mom and 2 foster fur siblings. I’m 11 years old but don’t let my age fool you. I’m good with being a couch potato but also good with running around all silly. I’ve been with my foster family for almost a month. At first she kenneled me and I did great in there. Now I have free range of the house. My foster mom works from home and I sleep in the dog bed in her office. When she leaves you can find me and my fur siblings sleeping on the couch or being apart of the neighborhood watch. I get along with both female and male dogs. I’ve been around a few other dogs besides my foster fur siblings and everything went well. I love to snuggle up in my dog bed or blankets near others. At night I sleep in the human bed. I can get up on the couch no issues but my foster mom’s bed is high so I use dog steps. I love to run and play outside and I recently started playing with dog toys. When someone comes to visit, I bark at first but then I get excited to meet new people. My foster mom has a fenced in yard so I can roam all over. I do love taking walks and walk very nice on a leash. I’ve never had an accident in the house while living with my foster family.

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

Meet Mimi! Mimi is a 4-year-old chocolate-colored Pittie who came to Paws and Claws from an area impound. This sweet girl has so much love to give and is happiest when she’s spending time with her people. Mimi loves going for walks and then settling in for some good old-fashioned snuggle time. Our vet thinks she could benefit from losing a few pounds, so regular walks will be a great way to help her get back to a healthy weight while doing something she already enjoys! Mimi is ready to leave shelter life behind and find a family who will give her plenty of love, walks, and couch cuddles. adoption fee $350 + $30 microchip fee + tax
