Story
Meet Raul, an independent and spirited pup ready to find his forever home! Raul is currently living in a foster home and is looking for a family that understands his unique needs and can provide him with the love and attention he deserves. Raul does well with other dogs while out on walks, but his ideal home would not have resident dogs. He has a strong chase instinct with cats, so a cat-free household would be best for him. In his current foster home, Raul shares his space with two female cats, but they do not interact closely due to his tendency to lunge and bark. When it comes to being alone, Raul is quite content in a gated area or free-roaming for short periods. He's house-trained and hasn't shown any issues in that regard. While Raul is a loving companion, he can be a bit particular about being handled or picked up. Sometimes he enjoys being pet, but other times he may growl and snap. It's important to approach him with patience and respect for his boundaries. Raul has made progress in his behavior and no longer exhibits food guarding with humans. However, he still displays this behavior with the resident cats, so it's essential to feed him separately. If you're looking for an independent and spirited companion who thrives in a cat-free environment, Raul could be the perfect match for you. With the right understanding and care, Raul is sure to blossom into a loyal and loving member of your family. Don't miss out on the chance to give Raul the forever home he's been waiting for!

Look up to the sky and see the cosmos or you can see This Cosmo! This little guy has it all! An outgoing, sweet little dude who's down for an adventure as much as he's down for some cuddle time on the couch. Cosmo loves his food (and your food), going on walks and spending time with his people. He makes a fantastic alarm as he likes to tell you about all the people passing by his window. Cosmo is bursting with personality and has quickly become adored by our staff here at the shelter. Go ahead and click the "Adoption Inquiry" button if you want to know more about this wonderful pup!

Story
This gorgeous girl is not quite available for adoption, but will be soon after she is done raising a family of her very own! She is currently nursing her puppies and we urgently need a maternity foster to help get her out of the stressful shelter so she can focus on giving her puppies everything they need to grow. Moms and puppies do not need a ton of space and prefer a quiet room or space to themselves as opposed to being a part of the household action; so if you've got a spare bedroom, office, bathroom or closet space where you can keep them separate from resident pets then you are perfect for maternity fostering! APA will gladly provide all supplies and give you a run down of what to expect throughout the process. We ask that maternity fosters keep mom and puppies until the puppies have weaned and started eating gruel, which is usually around 3-4 weeks of age. At that point we are able to move the puppies to new foster homes so they can start their journey towards adoption and mom as well if that is preferred. Or if you want to see the family through to adoption yourself we will gladly help you through that stage as well! Please reach out to give a family the quiet, comfy place they need during this vulnerable stage. You will get to enjoy an immense amount of puppy cuddles and joy watching them grow up. And as the foster you will get first priority for adopting mom or a puppy of your choice. Can you help a mom and her puppies by signing up to be a maternity foster today??

Story
Those soulful puppy eyes and adorable expressive eyebrows are the perfect recipe to melt your heart instantly. Growing into his teenage phase, Waffle is the ultimate compact companion, rocking a gorgeous black, tan, and white coat on a frame built to be a perfectly manageable medium size. This sweet boy is fully cooked and ready to serve up a massive dose of daily joy. Life is a total buffet of fun for this 6-month-old pup, whether he is executing a high-energy zoomie sequence or turning into a puddle of mush for a post-play nap. He treats every toy like a prize-winning discovery and will happily trail you around the room like a loyal shadow just to make sure he isn't missing a single ounce of the action. Waffle is waiting for you to welcome them home.

Story
Meet Momo, a sweet and gentle 10-year-old senior who is blossoming more each day in her foster home in San Antonio, TX. Don’t let her age fool you—her vet says she is in great health, and she has so much love left to give! This darling girl may have started off a little shy, but once she feels safe, her affectionate personality truly shines. Momo now loves being held and cuddled, happily soaking up attention from her people and forming strong bonds with those she trusts. Momo is wonderfully well-rounded and gets along beautifully with dogs, cats, and kids, making her a great fit for a variety of households. She would also do well as an only dog, as she truly enjoys soaking up attention and bonding closely with her people. She has excellent manners in the home—she is potty trained and knows how to use a doggie door, which makes her an easy and low-maintenance companion. At night, Momo’s favorite place to be is curled up on the couch, enjoying a cozy and peaceful sleep near her humans. While she isn’t a fan of being in a kennel, she does very well when given a small, quiet space sectioned off with a baby gate where she feels safe and secure. Momo would thrive in a patient, loving home that will continue to build her confidence and give her the affection she craves. She’s the perfect mix of gentle, loving, and loyal—and she’s ready to find a forever family who will cherish her just as much as she will adore them. You can apply directly for Momo by clicking the Apply for Adoption button on the linked page. https://www.shelterluv.com/embed/animal/FODS-A-838 All our dogs come with 30 days of free post-adoption support through Petcademy.org. This benefit includes free access to Petcademy's team of trainers/behaviorists, as well as access to online materials that will help you settle your new family member into your home. You can text unlimited questions to Petcademy and they'll respond within 24 hours (Monday-Friday).

Please go slow with me. Life hasn't always been easy so I'm timid and can get snappy when scared. That being said I'll do just about anything for treats- especially the Pupperoni ones! I like being held sometimes and will do best in a calm household.

Story
I'm writing with a heavy heart to find a new, loving home for my sweet girl, Princess. This isn't an easy decision, but due to changes in my life right now, I can't give her the time and stability she deserves. Princess is everything you want in a family dog. She is fully house trained, she is up to date on all of her shots and she is just a love bug — she lives for pets, belly rubs, and being close to her people. She's incredibly friendly. She greets everyone with a wagging tail, settles down nicely in the house, and loves to be part of whatever you're doing, whether that's a walk around the block or a nap on the couch. She has a gentle, happy temperament and just wants to be loved. I'm not looking for just anyone I'm looking for the right home where she'll be safe, cherished, and treated like family. If you think that could be you, or you know someone wonderful, please reach out to me. Thank you so much for reading and for considering opening your heart

Story
Merle was found by friend about two months ago and no one has responded to post or lost dog ads. I’ve been fostering this sweetie for about a month but he needs a house with a yard and someone not traveling for work. He’s a little reactive on walks but has been getting better with training. He’s tried going to families with kids but it doesn’t seem to be a good fit. He loves playing fetch and learning new commands.
