Story
Meet Tango, an adorable pibble mix that is 1 year old. We met Tango as a foster last October and instantly fell in love and added him to our pack. Tango is young, energetic and very goofy. He is also smart and eager to please. This friendly boy loves every person he meets. Tango gets nightly zoomies in the yard so he would love a house with a fenced place for him to run. He is your typical "Velcro" dog. He will follow you around the house and loves to cuddle up next to you on the couch or bed! Tango has completed a basic socialization and training course at a local training center. He knows commands: sit, stay, leave it, come, place. Tango is looking for a new home as an only dog, small dog friends or with girl dogs only! He has cat friendly if it’s an accepting cat… he loves to play with our cat! Please consider this sweet boy if you are looking

Story
Fre is a. Amazing pup! He was raised by my grandmother and when she passed away, my parents took him in. He was protective of my mother during her cancer battle. When She passed, he completely became my dad's dog versus my mom's dog lol. He loves food, will have a full blast conversation with you, loves other dogs, will spend a little bit of time outside, doesn't like the rain or snow, loves to have his own seat in the house, and love's attention. He's not a clingy dog, but when he wants to be pet, you'll know. My dad passed away February 2nd and right now he is being fostered by my aunt and uncle because I just had a baby and I'm heading back to Austin this weekend. We're looking for a loving, caring, and kind family to take him. He's nine and has experienced a lot of loss and the last 7 years. As much as I want to take him, with a new baby, a move, a new job, etc. I've just got a lot going on and I can't give him what he needs. Oh, and he loves Gus's soft pretzels. Thanks Dad lol

Story
Poonkie is a rescue dog from Bosnia. We found him on the streets as a 2 month old puppy. After treating him for parasites and a skin condition (not current), we managed to rehome him in Bosnia. However the person could not keep him and in fear of where he might end up, we brought him to America. Hes been with us for many months now but due to unforeseen circumstances, I cannot keep him. Hes a loving dog without an evil bone in his body. He knows sit, spin, paw, stay and lie down. He is just over a year old and 80 pounds. He is a hound mix. I just want him to find a loving and suitable home. Experienced owner preferred. He is a bit of an escape artist so a fenced in yard or tether is required. Gets along with other dogs and is used to cats.
