Story
Hi, my name is Beau and not only am I handsome, but I'm also loving and playful too! I am a shepherd mix, around 1 ½ years old. I came to my foster from ACS and though I have only been with them for about 3 weeks I have already won both them and their doggos over! I am loving, affectionate and playful and I would LOVE to have a doggie brother or sister. I know to take treats gently and I love a good chew toy. I am crate trained and house trained and I love to be outside. Having my own family would be the best cos' I love belly scratches and may have a tendency to give you my paw when I want some love. I would make a great friend and companion to anyone or any family! *All of The Right to Live dogs are fostered locally in San Antonio Texas and will be transported to other states to their new families upon adoption.

Story
DAISY aka DOODY Lab/Sharpei mix, 1.5 yrs Miss Daisy is the embodiment of "happy to be alive". This sweet soul ended up at the local shelter with extensive wounds to her face and chest, her medical notes indicated she had likely gotten caught in a wire fence or perhaps attacked by other dog. Rescue busted her right out of there and got her to a local vet, where she was diagnosed with ehlers danlos. That's just a fancy way to say her skin is a little more delicate than a normal dogs and tears really easily so she needs to be a little more careful than most dogs and can't roughhouse or engage in "mouthy" play. Daisy is the last to know though, she loves to zoomie all around the yard and her very favorite game is keep away from her foster mamas (especially when it's time to go inside). Daisy does well with dogs of all sizes but needs slow intros. She should be monitored while playing to avoid any potential owies. Daisy is crate trained and a happy playful little soul. She requires a little more care and caution than a typical puppy, but will pay you tenfold in smiles and snuggles. *All of The Right to Live dogs are fostered locally in San Antonio Texas and will be transported to other states to their new families upon adoption.

Story
Snowflake Is a super sweet and demure 45-lb female spayed lab mix, who just wants to give love and receive love. Approximately 2 years old, is a sunny, gentle girl waiting to show what an amazing companion she can be for that just right person or family. She gets along well with both male and female dogs. Gentle in her manner, she seeks affection quietly, seeking out head rubs and kisses when she feels comfortable. She loves to relax nearby wherever you are. During her time with her foster family, she’s learned to use a doggy door, and is housebroken. She loves going for walks on a leash, and enjoys car rides. A gentle girl with a friendly smile and willing attitude, Snowflake is ready to work her way into your heart and stay there, forever.

Story
Hi my name is Coco! I’m a 3 1/2 months old lab mix and about 12 lbs. I am ready to tackle the world, can you be my partner? I'm super affectionate and playful, a typical puppy in every way. I love all people big and small and love playing with all my pup friends. I even like cats – but I think they smell a little weird. I am ready to learn manners and how to be that perfect dog. If this sounds like something that interests, you and you like what you see then hurry! I’m a “hot dog” LOL and I won't last long.
