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
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 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
He understands Spanish. We acquired him from a family friend when he was a puppy. He would be more happy with a person that is single. Has time to give him. He likes to go on walks on his leash. He likes to play with toys and definitely loves to be around people. I would say he is 8 years old. He doesn’t like to be alone and we aren’t ever home. So someone who is needing a friend he would be great with. He waits to use the bathroom until someone gets home to release him from his crate. We aren’t ever home anymore.

Story
I have had Oliver since he was 8 weeks old. He turns 10 in September. He is a very sweet boy, but he also has chihuahua aggression that has continued since a very young age. He is usually okay around friendly dogs but can show aggression toward unfamiliar adults and children. I have an infant at home who he has shown aggression toward, and I’m no longer able to keep him in the home. He will grow attached to his caregiver and give you lots of love! I hope to find someone who is willing to put in time and attention to build trust with him and help him live a long and happy life.
