Story
Benny was found running the streets in a stray dog pack in the Rio Grande Valley. When he first came here, he was fearful around men and could be a bully to new dogs, but he's come a long way since then. Once he gets to know you, he's a sweet, funny, playful dog who wants to be with you as much as possible. Benny was initially cat-aggressive, but he's been around cats for several months and has grown used to them. He mostly ignores them but sometimes chases them. He can be around cats, but should not be left alone with them. (I kennel him when we leave.) Benny gets along well with most female dogs, but he can be dominant towards male dogs. He shows some resource guarding of both food and people and seems to want to "defend" his people from other dogs. That doesn't mean he can't get along with other dogs or other male dogs, but he needs to be introduced to other dogs carefully. The same can be true for introducing him to new people---he needs some time to build trust. Someone who is willing to take time and socialize Benny with other people and animals would be a great adopter. Benny is a great dog who really wants to please. He is loving, affectionate, and playful.

Story
Simba is a purebred German Shepherd puppy born in June or July 2022. She is very smart and easily trainable. Like all German Shepherds, she needs someone who is willing to spend the time and energy exercising and training her. Simba is currently in the Rio Grande Valley. When an adopter has been approved, she will be brought to the Austin area for a meet and greet and final adoption.

Story
Catrina is a shy little thing, at least when she's first getting to know you. After she warms up to you, she wants to sleep with you and sometimes on top of you. Catrina is getting the hang of going outside, but it's something she needs to be reminded of. I'm not sure how Catrina would do in a rambunctious household. She would do best in a fairly quiet household. She would probably make a good apartment dog. She will be very devoted to her person(s).

Story
Manu, the beautiful Malinois mix, is a quiet and sensitive boy with soul-piercing eyes. He is very shy and timid with people, but with lots of love and patience, he is learning to trust humans and his confidence grows every day! He gets along sweetly with other dogs, he has made several friends at the shelter and he LOVES to play and romp with them in the play yards. Manu has enjoyed several shelter breaks with amazing PAWS staff and volunteers, where he learned to relax and enjoy being in a home environment. Here are some notes from his foster families, for potential adopters to consider: "Manu is the easiest houseguest! He mostly keeps to himself, he is very independent and prefers to calmly observe people doing people-things. He adores our other dogs, he is a respectful and peaceful member of the pack. He is also great around our livestock and horses; absolutely no desire to bark or chase. While he does not particularly crave or demand human affection, he will accept gentle petting and can easily be handled once you earn his trust. Manu is also housebroken, crate-trained, and walks nicely on a leash. He appreciates always having access to the yard, he comes and goes freely through a doggie door. Being outside in the fresh air definitely helps him relax and calm his mind. He also takes refuge in quiet spaces around our house, such as his kennel bed or under the kitchen table. Manu is the most low-maintenance dog ever, he is so well-behaved and he's perfectly happy just doing his own thing. We think Manu will absolutely thrive in a quiet & low-traffic home, ideally with another canine friend to show him the ropes. He also will need a very gentle and patient adopter, as it may take some time for Manu to settle in and feel safe in his new home.

Story
This most handsome boy is Xander. He is extremely people-oriented, and nothing makes him happier than spending time with his most favorite PAWS staff and volunteers! Xander is a confident, loving, and extremely loyal friend. He is very sensitive and highly intelligent, a combination which unfortunately causes him great stress living at the shelter. The good news is, Xander has been loved by many foster families and we know he absolutely THRIVES in a home environment. Here are some glowing notes from one of his recent foster parents: "I was so lucky to foster Xander, he is absolutely awesome. First of all, his impeccable manners and listening skills make him a perfect houseguest. He is 100% potty trained and he is not destructive whatsoever, he is very respectful inside our home. Beyond being a perfect houseguest, Xander is an absolute blast to have around! He has so much personality, he LOVES toys and is very playful. He carried his stuffed animal squid with him everywhere he went. He also loves playing fetch and going on walks. After playtime he doesn't mind settling right down and cuddling up for a nap (or 10) throughout the day. He is very sweet and affectionate during down time. I absolutely loved fostering Xander!! He is just the sweetest, funniest boy and I miss him already!" At 3 years old, Xander still has youthful energy but he also appreciates the finer things in life, such as quiet time and a soft bed to relax in. He has lived peacefully with other dogs in previous foster homes, but he can be reactive to strange dogs through a fence. He also bonds very strongly with his caretakers, and he might show wariness towards new people. But with some patience and delicious treats, he soon comes around and expands his circle of trust. Xander is such a good boy with so much love to give; he is beyond ready to meet his new family and spend the rest of his life completely devoted to them!

Story
Meet Milo, a charming young pup with an award-winning smile! His joyful personality and endearing hugs make him a fan favorite among staff and volunteers. While sweet Milo shares a very loving bond with his trusted people, he can sometimes be wary of strangers and he appreciates gentle and patient introductions. With time and treats, he quickly warms up and then you have a friend for life. A standout quality of Milo's is his exceptional leash manners. He casually keeps pace with his person, curiously sniffing at everything and he's just so happy to be going somewhere with you. He is so polite and gentle, and very easy to handle. While he thoroughly enjoys playtime and adventures, Milo also relishes quiet times, snuggles and of course belly rubs! Milo has enjoyed several shelter breaks with our amazing volunteers, where he showed that he can live harmoniously in homes with both dogs and cats! Here are some glowing notes from his foster families: "He is a super sweet and quiet dog. He was great with plants and furniture and just wanted to cuddle most of the time. He let me know when he needed to go out to potty. He does have some stranger danger, but it certainly would get better in time and with more interactions. He is super smart and LOVES to give hugs once he opens up." Milo is still very young and it's heartbreaking that he has spent most of his puppyhood in the shelter system. He has so much loyalty and affection to give, and he would love to find his forever family before he turns 2 years old! Come and meet Milo, you will absolutely adore this sweet boy.
