Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Little Bit: A Petite Terrier/Blue Heeler Mix Little Bit is a sweet and gentle 4 year old Heeler mix who is ready to find her forever home. Petite in size but big on love, this calm and affectionate terrier/blue heeler mix will quickly win your heart. Her serene demeanor makes her the perfect companion for someone looking for a loving, low-maintenance furry friend. Fully potty trained, Little Bit is a model houseguest. She is kennel trained and can sleep quietly in her crate at night, though she truly prefers curling up with her family when given the chance. Whether you're running errands or away for a few hours, she’s trustworthy and well-behaved in the home. Little Bit gets along wonderfully with other dogs and enjoys playful moments, especially when stuffed toys or crinkle toys are involved—her absolute favorites! She loves to engage in gentle play without needing to be the center of attention. Little Bit is also a sensitive soul. She becomes scared when taken out of her familiar surroundings and would not be a good fit for someone looking for a dog to bring to public places, social events, or busy environments. Her ideal home is one where she can feel safe, secure, and loved in a stable, predictable setting. Having another dog in the home that she can bond with is a must for her to better adapt. Currently being fostered in Seguin, TX, Little Bit is thriving in a loving home while she waits for her forever family. Due to her high anxiety in the car, she is only available for adoption within Texas and cannot be transported out of state. Little Bit is the kind of dog who will fit seamlessly into your life—offering companionship, loyalty, and a heart full of love. If you’re in Texas and ready to give this petite sweetheart the stable home she deserves, she can’t wait to meet you. To see more pictures and videos, copy and paste this link.

This benefit includes free access to Petcademy’s team of trainers/behaviorists, as well as access to online materials that will help you settle your new family member into your home.

Story

Meet Nala – Ready for Her Fresh Start Nala is a 3 ½-year-old Black Mouth Cur/Basenji mix with a heart as sweet as her gentle spirit. Her journey hasn’t been an easy one—she was found as a pregnant stray, and despite the challenges, she devoted herself to raising her puppies with love and care. Now that her little ones are grown, it’s finally Nala’s turn to shine and experience what it means to be the one who’s cherished. This beautiful girl is fully vetted—spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and kept on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention—so she’s ready to step into her forever home. She is both kennel trained and potty trained, which makes her an easy fit into a new routine. Nala also walks nicely on a leash and rides well in the car when kenneled, making outings and adventures with her a pleasure. Nala’s personality is a mix of sweetness and playfulness. She loves to play, enjoys attention, and thrives when she’s at the center of her family’s world. With her soulful eyes and quiet charm, she’s the kind of companion who will be devoted and loyal once trust is built. Her perfect home would not have small children, as her enthusiasm and playful energy could easily knock them over. She blossoms in a calm and structured environment and is ready to pour her love into the people who open their hearts to her. Nala has been through so much, but her resilient spirit shines. She’s more than ready for her new beginning—a safe, loving home where she can finally rest, play, and be adored. Could Nala be your perfect match?

Story

Meet Buddy – A Gentle Soul Looking for His Perfect Match! Buddy is a senior Ridgeback/Black Mouth Cur mix with a heart full of love and a personality that shines once he feels safe. He may be shy at first and take some time to decompress, but once he’s comfortable, his sweet and gentle nature comes through. Buddy absolutely loves other dogs and enjoys their company. He is both house-trained and crate-trained—in fact, his crate is his happy place! When left alone, he prefers the security of his kennel, and even when his humans are home, he often chooses to relax there with the door open. This lovable senior does well on a leash and would thrive in a quiet, low-energy home with a patient adopter who understands that he needs time to adjust. While he hasn't been around young children, his gentle nature suggests he would be great with them. We don’t know how he is with cats, but he gets along wonderfully with other dogs. Buddy’s favorite toys are anything soft and squishy, and he enjoys the simple comforts of companionship. He would be the perfect match for someone looking for a loving, loyal companion who doesn’t need a high-energy lifestyle. With patience and understanding, Buddy has so much love and potential to share. Are you the kind soul ready to give Buddy the forever home he deserves?

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Bronco! Bronco is an amazing pup, estimated to be between 1–2 years old, and he’s still very much in that playful puppy phase. Curious about everything, he loves exploring the world around him and discovering new sights, smells, and adventures. Bronco gets along wonderfully with other dogs and currently has three foster siblings he enjoys playing and lounging with throughout the day. He is also potty trained, and he is currently working on becoming fully kennel trained. This sweet boy is quite the talker—Bronco loves to express himself with silly grumbles, playful barks, and funny little sounds, especially when he’s excited or vying for attention. He has a big personality and an even bigger heart. While he can be a bit skittish at first and sometimes thinks he’s in trouble when you approach, he is quickly learning that people can be kind and gentle. Each day, he grows more confident, more trusting, and more affectionate. In the evenings, Bronco enjoys curling up on a cozy dog bed, and he’ll occasionally trot over to give you a soft “boop” as his sweet way of asking for pets. He also has great protective instincts—if he hears a strange noise outside, he’ll be the first to investigate and alert his people. Bronco is well on his way to becoming a loyal, loving, and devoted companion. With continued patience, reassurance, and love, he will blossom into the incredible dog he is meant to be. He’s ready to find a forever family to adore and protect. Bronco is being fostered in a home in Seguin, TX but can be transported to the PNW and NE United States after adoption.
