Story

We’re heartbroken to say we’re looking for a loving forever home for our wonderful girl, Lola – a 7-year-old female American Bully. Lola is an absolute sweetheart who just wants to be loved and give love right back. She’s incredibly affectionate, gentle, and people-oriented—she thrives on cuddles, belly rubs, and being part of the family. Lola is potty trained and crate trained (she’s great in her crate when we’re out or at night) Excellent with other dogs—she plays nicely and gets along well Very good with children—she’s patient and gentle No history of aggression toward people or animals—she’s never shown any concerning behaviors She’s happiest snuggling on the couch or following you around the house Due to some recent family changes (welcome new baby + work/life demands), we no longer have the time and attention she deserves. This was an incredibly difficult decision, made out of love for her—we want her to go to a home where she can be the center of attention again.

Story

Meet Simon, Sienna & Sophie — three playful Draft Picks ready for their forever teams! These sweet siblings joined Ruff Draft from one of our rescue partners in Texas after being found in South San Antonio. Their mom, Genevieve, had an owner who chose not to have her spayed and later abandoned both her and the puppies, leaving them in a field across from the house. Thankfully they were brought to safety, and now their next chapter is all about finding the loving homes they deserve. Born October 2025, this trio of Lab mixes is full of puppy energy, curiosity, and affection. Simon and Sophie are classic black pups, while Sienna stands out beautifully with her white coat and soft beige markings. All three are Game Day Ready and doing great with kids, cats, and other dogs. They love attention, playtime, and being part of the action, and like any young pups, they’re still working on their rookie manners — including remembering that jumping up isn’t part of the playbook yet. Simon especially is a big lovable goof who doesn’t quite realize how much he’s grown, so families with very small kids should just be mindful that his enthusiastic puppy energy could accidentally knock someone over during playtime. If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate teammate who’s ready to learn, love, and grow with your family, these three are ready to be drafted.

Story

Play the song “Rio” and she’ll dance — but what she really wants is a forever home to stay in. Meet Rio — a calm, loyal teammate ready for her forever home Rio is an approximately 1.5-year-old shepherd mix who made her way to Ruff Draft through one of our trusted rescue partners in Texas. Rio and her sister were originally found along a river by a kind woman who took them in, helped socialize them, and gave them a safe place to start learning about life with people. She did her part — and now it’s our turn to help Rio find the forever team she’s been waiting for. Despite her uncertain beginning, Rio is a wonderfully balanced girl. She’s house trained and crate trained (not a single accident so far!) and settles in beautifully to a home routine. She’s calm, playful, affectionate, and listens very well — the kind of dog who makes you feel like she must have had a home once and is truly ready to belong to one again. Rio is Game Day Ready and does great with kids and other dogs. She hasn’t been tested with cats to our knowledge, so slow introductions or a trial period would be the best play for success. And here’s the fun part — while she was at the Texas rescue, staff would play “Rio” by Duran Duran, and she’d start dancing… which is exactly how she earned her name. 💃🐾 If you’re looking for a steady, loving companion who’s past the chaos and ready for real life on a forever team, Rio is ready to sign her contract.

Story

Meet the Encanto Litter — our magical new Draft Picks! This beautiful little family came to Ruff Draft from one of our trusted rescue partners in Texas, after they were found under an abandoned house in San Antonio. They may have had a rough start, but they are safe now and we’re so excited to introduce them to their future forever teams. Mama Julieta is about 1.5 years old and believed to be a Carolina Dog mix. She is the absolute sweetest, housebroken and crate trained already. She arrived in rescue with eight puppies — five of them made their way to Ruff Draft and officially joined our roster as Draft Picks. The puppies were born 12/9/25 and include three girls (Isabella, Mirabel, and Pepa) and two boys (Antonio and Felix). Each pup has their own unique look — Pepa is especially striking with bold black-and-tan coloring, Isabella, Mirabel, and Felix sport classic shepherd-style coloring (with varying levels of fluff), and Antonio stands out with his beautiful white tricolor coat and resemblance to mom. We suspect there may be some shepherd in the mix, though they also look surprisingly similar to Chinook puppies though that's not as common of a breed. What we do know for sure: this whole crew is Game Day Ready. They’re super playful, active, social pups who are doing great with kids, cats, and other dogs. Whether you’re looking for a young teammate or a sweet mama ready for her own happily-ever-after, this family is ready to start their next chapter.

Story

Introducing Wyatt! Wyatt is 10 month old Shepard Mix. He is young, spunky, and full of fun energy! He enjoys going on long walks and playing with toys. He will need some help with his obedience training, but he is very smart and a fast learner! He would make a wonderful family dog, as he gets along with other dogs and children. Thank you! The NAWS Dog Adoption Program operates as a rescue versus a shelter. We believe in matching the right dog with the appropriate family based on each specific dog or family's needs. To achieve this, we believe in spending the appropriate amount of time with each family to allow for enough interaction time with potential adopters. This cannot be achieved if people stop by unexpectedly to meet our dogs. Please submit an application at www.NAWSUS.org under the Pet Adoption tab to setup a day or time to meet with one of our adoption counselors and our potential adoptees. Thank you!

Cocoa Belle

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

If you’re looking for the perfect balance of playful and chill, Cocoa Belle might already be your starting lineup MVP. Meet Cocoa Belle — a seasoned sweetheart ready for her forever team Cocoa Belle, born 01/01/2020, has officially retired from breeding and is now ready to enjoy the life she deserves as a beloved family dog. While she is registered as a Pug, based on her size and the length of her muzzle, we suspect she may actually be a Puggle mix (which would include some Beagle). Either way, what matters most is her wonderful personality — and this girl truly has the best of both worlds. With her age comes a lovely balance of energy and calm. Cocoa Belle is the perfect mix of playful and relaxed, happy to enjoy some fun and attention but just as content to settle in and relax with her people. She has been around kids her entire life and understands how to respect their space without jumping up, making her an easy addition to a family home. She does great with cats, kids, and other dogs, and her adaptable personality means she could thrive with an active family or a quieter, homebody-style household. If your days are busy, Cocoa Belle will be perfectly fine holding down the fort while you’re out, then happily making the most of playtime and family time once everyone is home. Now that her mothering days are behind her, Cocoa Belle is ready to sign her forever contract and simply enjoy being loved.
