Story
Tanner is a 1 year old who is in a foster home with two female dogs and enjoys running and playing with them. Tanner has learned some doggie manners while at his foster home. Tanner needs someone to continue teaching him his obedience. He is in a home with older children and has done well. Tanner was found on the rural road in south Miami with his brother Tua. We know they lived on the streets a long time and he was covered in mange when he came to the rescue. Despite being on his own he is a precious boy who needs lots of training to learn the basics. He was doing well with his brother for a while but randomly they would get into disagreements. We don't know how he will do with other dogs at this time. He has a lot of playful and fun energy to burn off and is curious about everything. Since he is 'feral' he will need a calm and patient home willing to work with him! He is going to be an excellent dog and has a lot of potential now that he is with the rescue! Dogos are a wonderful breed but we urge anyone interested to dig in and do a lot of research before deciding if they are a good fit for your home. They require a lot of attention and training with them never ends! Boundaries must be enforced and they often need reminders as they push past boundaires you set! Dogos are loving, kind and gentle but don't mistake that for weakness because they are equally powerful and intense as well! Everyone in the home must be on board with having a dogo and play a major role in their daily routines and training. Yes it is work, but the rewards are ten-fold! Lazy homes don't work for dogos as they need stimulation, exercise, and lots of attention too during their younger years. Our goal in rescue is to be as transparent as we can about each and every dog plus make sure new families really understand the needs of a dogo!

Story
Dennis the menace was a pretty cute kid. Therefore I am cute too! I am an adult, with puppy-like exuberance for life and food! I arrived at the rescue with my wife (Dee Dee) and our kid (Donna) after being left in our backyard when our "family" moved. Can you imagine? I gave them 3 years of devotion, and they just leave me like an old newspaper..... So, enough about my sorted past, let's look at my BRIGHT FUTURE!!! I am a handsome guy, full of love for life. I love female dogs, male dogs are more challenging because I am an alpha sort of dog, with the females I am fine- even dominant females like my Dee Dee. I am a good 60lbs, I'm such a big boy who makes for great cuddles! I am a good protector of your home and my people. I won't let those pesky neighbors over, unless you invite them ;) I have lots of fun running and playing and I would be a great outdoor adventure buddy! Let's get on the trails and go! Dennis can only be adopted in the local area. Local adoption fee is $200.

APPLICATION LINK: https://shaynesrescue.com/adoption-application/ We must have an application to move forward. (Shayne's Rescue is an affiliate with PetCentralSATX). If there are problems with the website, please email me for help. SCOOBY is a big boy...at least 66#. His estimated DOB is 1/5/2020...so he is almost 4 yrs old. He is a very FUN dog and loves playing with other dogs but he is exuberant and easily intimidates smaller dogs. He would be a great companion dog for a large breed dog. He loves everyone and just wants to play. He has not had in-house training...in a shelter with lots of dogs, the big ones don't necessarily get the royal treatment. He has been leash-trained and loves to go on walks. After he get rid of the initial excitement about going out, he walks gently on the leash. I do not trust him with a cat. If it runs, he will chase. He sees them as lots of fun. Scooby would be great with a family with older children. Smaller ones would probably get knocked down during playtime. He needs a home with large back yard, I would not recommend him for an apartment. This dog is CURRENTLY IN TEXAS and available for pre-adoption. Adoptions include neuter/spay, vaccinations (DHPP, Bordetella, Rabies), microchip, health certificate, transport with our professional dog transporter, and 6 mos of heart worm prevention. If you have any questions or would like an e-mail from us as to how all of this works, text me (Terry); identify the dog's name and give me your email address... 210-394-6060. You can also go to our Facebook page... https://www.facebook.com/Pet-Central-SATX-866684826744181/ and LIKE us to help us out. After we review your application, we will contact you, and you'll have the opportunity to find out more from the rescue. If you experience any issues filling out the application you can contact us directly at petcentralsatx@gmail.com. This is ONLY if you have problems applying. If you have not applied, you will not receive a response so please only email if you have any issues applying. Adoption Fees The adoption fee includes transportation to the NE. All pups and dogs are fully vetted, spayed/neutered, microchipped, dewormed, have a negative heart worm test for all dogs over 6 months at time of transport, have a health certificate, and have all age-appropriate vaccinations. Some dogs/pups have additional medical, including but not limited to FHO, ACL, hernias, dental, and other vetting. All medical records will be provided to the adopter at the time they pick up their dog. This is a post on behalf of Pet Central SATX Rescue, headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, where there are over 350,000 homeless pets. We have hundreds of puppies/dogs available so there really is no need to apply anywhere else. Also, one application is good even if you are interested in several different dogs...one application no matter which one you choose. Thank you for choosing to adopt a rescue pup/dog. We firmly believe there is NO breed other than "rescue" for all species. Thank you for being part of the village it takes to save these precious lives.

Not good with dogs,
Story
Name: Baby Sex: Male Estimated Age: About a year old Best Guess for Breed: Boxer/Mastiff Mix Weight: About 70 lbs Good With: LOVES ALL PEOPLE! We aren’t sure how Baby would do with cats or kids, but we are happy to test him out. BABY'S PERFECT MATCH: Baby is a very sweet pup who is looking for a home where he can be the only pet and a family that wants to be loved fiercely and will continue working with him on training and enrichment activities.  PERFECT FAMILY: Baby is very loyal and loving, and we think he would prefer to be the only pet in the home. In his foster home he lives with two other similar-sized dogs. He likes to run and play with the other dogs outside, but most of the time he prefers to spend his time playing or cuddling with humans. He does well when playing with other dogs with the right introduction. But, because of his size and energy, sometimes he can be a little overwhelming for other dogs. When guests come over, Baby is initially very excited and playful, as most dogs are, but he chills out after getting that initial energy out and/or being redirected (training, treats, or toys!). Baby has done well with kids (you can see him getting pets from a little one in one of his profile pics) but he hasn’t been around kids for long periods yet. He is also looking for a family that loves to play, is committed to training, and enjoys lounging with a puppy. Continuing to work on his training knowing that it will be very helpful for both the family and for Baby - a well-trained dog is a happy dog. He loves his training sessions partly for the treats but mostly for the quality time he gets with humans. As much as Baby loves training, he also has a goofy and loving personality. If you think you’ve seen the best puppy eyes before…wait until you see Baby’s! All in all, the perfect family for Baby will be a family that is ready to give a lot of love - and receive twice as much back, because Baby will shower you with gentle kisses and cuddles, adorable looks (he’s very photogenic!), fun and engaging play, and endless laughs.  PERFECT HOME: A home with a fenced in yard away from the bustling city. Baby can handle open areas like parks for short periods but like many younger dogs, he can get tired and overstimulated, so we do not recommend taking him to busy and unpredictable areas like dog parks, busy patios, and daycare.  Baby loves to sunbathe and play fetch or tug in the yard. He does well on walks in our quiet neighborhood, but we think a yard would help him get some of the extra energy out. Baby seldom barks in the yard, even when other dogs are barking in the yard or elsewhere in the neighborhood. EXERCISE NEEDS: As can be expected with young dogs, Baby has bursts of energy that are easily managed with outside play time, training, playing, and enrichment activities. Currently, most of his physical exercise comes from playing in the backyard. He loves tugging with the other dogs or humans in the yard, and really enjoys playing fetch and quickly drops the ball/stick/rope when he’s given the command “out.” Baby gets pretty tired out with training sessions, too! Like most puppies, he’s still perfecting his focus despite distractions and keeps getting better with training sessions. Finally, on rainy days where walks or playing in the yard isn’t feasible, Baby is content with some light fetch or tug inside and some puzzles or other enrichment activities that challenge his mind and senses.  BEHAVIOR IN HOME: Baby is a big love bug! He gives the sweetest, most gentle kisses and seems to consider himself to be a 75 pound lapdog. When alone or sleeping, he is kept in his expen area isolated from the rest of the home. When we come to his area to get him, he waits calmly and quietly for us to let him out of his area. When he hears the other dogs in the house barking, he rarely joins in. He also uses the bathroom outside in the yard and knows a number of commands including heel, out, stay, sit, and place.  He plays outside with the other 2 dogs in the home, but again it is clear to us that he is happier when he has alone time with the humans - whether that’s playing outside or lounging inside. As long as we are in the same proximity or are physically touching him somehow, he will happily chew on a toy or sleep. He will let you know when he would like to play or be pet. When he first came to us, he jumped up and barked at the humans when he wanted attention or to play. He quickly learned how to ask for attention and, since the first week, he hasn’t  jumped or barked to get attention from humans. Now, he asks for attention and playtime by bringing a toy, making eye contact, rolling over for a belly rub, or pawing at the humans.  CRATE: Baby is crate trained. When he first came to his foster home, he spent all of his alone time in the crate. After the first couple weeks at the house, we moved him into an expen to give him a little more room when he is alone. He sleeps and relaxes in his expen during the day and also sleeps in there all night long without a peep - unless he needs to potty!   If you think that Baby might be your perfect match, apply today!December 8, 2023, 12:40 pm
