Story
Hi! My name is Yoda. I was adopted from the San Antonio city shelter by my dad. He brought me home to my new big brother Buster and we get along great. Unfortunately, my dad passed away about a month after he brought me home. Since then, I’ve been living with his daughters, moving from one to another every few months. I don’t mind that, but I would prefer a forever home. I like to do whatever my big brother does so if he is barking, I am barking or if he is playing I am playing. My new mom has been taking us to daycare and I love that! I get to meet new friends and sniff everything! I’m really enjoying this life outside of the shelter, but would love a forever home with someone to play with in a soft bed.

Story
Cooper is a 6 year old Purebred Silver Lab. We knew the breeder and were in his life since he was 2 days old. I love him like he is one of my children. He is well trained and very loving family dog that was in a home with 5 kids, other dogs and cats. My job transferred me to Texas and kids have all moved out for college, etc. I am alone and required to travel for my job 3-4 days per week. I don't feel it is fair to Cooper to just stick him in a kennel every single week. He is so affectionate and would love to be in a family that has time to play and spend time with him. He loves to go for walks, play ball, swim and car rides.

Story
Meet Everett! Everett is an 8-week-old, 8-pound Lab/Terrier “Texas Special!” Named after Dr. Everett Scott from The Rocky Horror Picture Show, this little professor is already an expert in puppy kisses, toy collecting and making everyone smile! Everett is thriving in his foster home, where he loves playing with toys, romping with his siblings and soaking up all the attention he can get. His mom is a 40-pound scruffy blend, while Dad flew the coop without leaving so much as a forwarding address! Like every young puppy, Everett needs a family prepared for everything that comes with raising a baby: potty training, basic manners, leash practice, positive socialization, regular veterinary care and plenty of patience. Puppies can be messy, mischievous and a lot of work—but with love, consistency and gentle training, they grow into wonderful lifelong companions. If you’re ready for puppy kisses, silly adventures and a little “Time Warp” around the living room, Everett is ready to dance his way into your heart! 💜🐾
