Story
Sweet senior boy looking for a calm, loving home 🐾 This gentle old man loves his toys (especially his favorite ball) and being close to his person. He’s happiest soaking up affection and would make a wonderful, loyal companion. He does best in a quieter home and gets along with mellow older dogs, but not younger or reactive dogs. He has a soft bark/howl when he hears unfamiliar sounds or gets excited, but it’s brief. He’s house-trained, though he may have an accident if left alone too long. He enjoys chewing (not destructive) and needs plenty of toys. No allergies, only drools while waiting for treats, and uses a slow-feeder bowl. He doesn’t need much exercise—just love and a cozy place to rest. He comes with his comfy bed, favorite ball, leash, collar, and feeder bowl. He deserves a peaceful home for his golden years.

Story
This is very difficult decision to rehome my sweet Chloe. I moved on March 2nd and working away from the house frequently. I just will not be able to give her time that she needs. She is with my daughter who is 7 months pregnant and she has to stay crated all day. She is now 8 months old, energetic and super sweet. She's a very pretty dog - we love her white markings. Since she's still a puppy, she chews, so I provide lots of toy options for her. She is also crate-trained and 90% potty trained. We will provide a collar, leash, starter food, toys and food and water bowl. I love her dearly and I want to make sure she gets to a good home. She's a great dog!

Roux

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Puppy
Round Rock, TX
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Roux is a 7-month-old, big-hearted goofball with so much love to give. She’s playful, affectionate, and loves running around outside, chasing her tail, or soaking up all the belly rubs she can get. Roux can be fearful around new people, so she’ll need a patient adopter who’s willing to give her time to feel safe and build trust. Because of this, we’re looking for someone open to doing a few meet-and-greets before taking her home. Once she warms up, she’s incredibly sweet, loyal, and forms strong bonds with her person. She gets along great with medium-sized dogs and enjoys having a playmate, but she does tend to chase smaller dogs, so a home without small pets would be best. Roux is up to date on all vaccinations, potty trained, crate trained, and does well on a leash. She hasn’t been spayed yet and has not gone into heat. Roux would do best in a calm, understanding home that can help her build confidence at her own pace. In return, you’ll get a deeply loyal, loving companion.

Olive

Boxer American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Young
Round Rock, TX
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Olive is a ~2.5 year-old, medium-sized (around 58-60lbs) red brindle Boxer/Pit Bull mix with the sweetest, most loving personality. She’s incredibly loyal, affectionate, and happiest when she’s cuddled up next to her people, going for walks, playing fetch, riding along in the car, or sunbathing in the morning. She’s great with adults and kids and has never shown any aggression toward humans. **She MUST be the only pet in the home—no other dogs or animals whatsoever.** She would do best with an active individual or family who can give her attention, structure, and space to run (a backyard is ideal). She’s perfectly fine staying home during the day (I worked in the office 3x a week) and was always great—never chewing furniture or destroying anything. We’ve invested about $1.7k into professional training, and she knows commands like sit, place, quiet, and come. She is crate trained, potty trained, and truly has so much love to give—she just needs the right environment to thrive.

Story
Benji is truly a unique one a kind boy. He has a lot of feelings and he doesn’t quite know how to express them. He’s very sensitive. Benji is beyond goofy, he loves to run around and play. He can take rough housing a little too far but it’s only because he gets very excited. He doesn’t quite realize his size. He gets the zoomies often. The boy loves food. He will eat anything. However. He becomes territorial with food. He needs to be fed behind a baby gate or in a separate room. He knows this and is very easily trained. Benji enjoys rough housing and would do best with other larger dogs or playful owners Anxiety/ aggression issues with new things/ food. He has started taking Reconcile (Prozac) for anxiety. Very playful yet super lazy dog who deserves the world. As long as you’re patient with him he will be your companion for life. And snuggle on the couch all day long.

Augie is a 9-year-old black lab and golden retriever mix. His master (my father) passed away this past weekend, and he needs a new home. He is a calm dog that is good with other dogs and children. He is house-broken, up-to-date on his vaccines, and microchipped. We cannot keep him, so he needs a forever home immediately.
