Story
Hi! I’m Chase! I’m 4 years old, about 80 pounds, and I’m a German Shepherd who is pretty much up for whatever you’ve got planned. Things I love: Going for walks Playing with my dog friends All the food. ALL of it. Being outside and exploring Going places with my people A few fun facts about me: I was named after Chase, the German Shepherd from PAW Patrol. I’m a little suspicious of trash cans sitting along the road. You never know what those things are up to. I may be 80 pounds, but I'm a great leash walker and I never pull. I’ve had a few stops along the way before landing with Central Texas Ruffugees, and I’m really hoping my next stop is the one that sticks. I’m looking for someone who matches my youthful spirit and is ready to help me experience all the things — walks, adventures, new places, new smells, and everything else I haven’t gotten to do yet. Basically, I’m ready to make up for lost time. I just need someone who wants to do it with me. Would you give Chase a chance?

Bella Trixie was abandoned at H.E.B. but found by a kindly soul and is now in boarding. She is awesome with people and other dogs. Sweet, affectionate, loyal and so friendly. She has never had the opportunity to be in a real family with loving people. Does that sound like you? Are you looking for a best friend who will love you forever. Bella Trixie is so grateful for a pet on the head and a good meal. She deserves to be spoiled and loved. She loves training and responds well to treats and great on leash! Gentle is the name of the game for Bella Trixie! Ask about our lifetime holistic program and our foster to adopt program.

Meet Mia - the lively two-year-old who came from a high kill California shelter all the way to Texas looking for a home. Can that be with you? The ideal adopter would be an active person who loves a hiking and swimming companion animal...did we mention she loves fetch and balls!! Mia loves games and would thrive with a basic obedience class. She will excel with this kind of work. Mia loves training! She adores both dogs and humans. She is house and crate trained and destined to be that perfect family pet. Call us today and let's set up a meet and greet with our sweet Mia!!  May 22, 2024, 5:48 am

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Friendly Faces Are His Favorite Iso is a friendly, active dog who looks like a German Shepherd and is new to our care. What stands out most about him is how much he enjoys people. The prior shelter shared that he was friendly and easy with humans, including being good with the person who found him loose. Iso is treat-motivated and happily takes treats, often sitting politely for them without being asked. He enjoys interaction and engagement, especially when snacks and attention are involved, which makes spending time with him both fun and rewarding. With his shepherd looks and people-loving personality, Iso is ready to find a foster or forever home where he can continue building confidence, learning, and sharing his friendly nature with the humans around him.

Bonnie

German Shepherd Dog Shepherd (Unknown Type)

Female, 8 yrs 2 mos
Austin, TX
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained,
Story
Bonnie is a sweet senior girl who brings a calm, gentle presence wherever she goes. In Foster Bonnie has proven to be an easygoing, low-maintenance houseguest. She has carefully mapped out all the best nap spots in the house and happily rotates between them throughout the day. She sleeps on dog beds and couches, relaxes well when left alone, and is mostly housetrained with a routine. Her foster describes her as calm, gentle, and an “absolute joy to live with.” She shares her toys and beds nicely and has even started learning how to play tug with one of her canine roommates. Her foster reports that she loves other dogs, and Bonnie has been equally enthusiastic about people—she “loved everyone” she met and has never met a stranger. Bonnie is deaf, but she navigates her world beautifully with her eyes, nose, and a little guidance from her humans. She can occasionally be unsteady on her feet, especially on slick flooring, so rugs or other grippy surfaces can help her move around more comfortably. She prefers a slower pace, but she is great on leash and enjoys getting outside to sniff and explore. Bonnie isn’t looking for a nonstop adventure—she’s looking for a comfortable home, kind people, cozy naps, and someone who appreciates the quiet companionship of a very special older dog. If your idea of a perfect day includes a gentle stroll followed by a long afternoon on the couch, Bonnie may be exactly the girl you’ve been waiting for.

Bella is a wonderful dog and has been a part of our family for just over 6 years. Unfortunately, due to medical complications with one of our children, we are no longer able to provide her with the amount of attention and love that she deserves. She's very loving and enjoys walks/hikes and playing fetch and tug of war. She's very gentle with kids and is a natural protector.

Story
My father recently passed away and Duke was his dog. We live out of state, do not have a fenced yard and we already have an indoor dog and cat. Duke truly is a fantastic dog. He is super friendly, smart, loving and always happy. He loves to play with balls and in the water. He is potty trained and will come lay at your feet. He does well on a leash. You can hug Duke and he doesn’t care if you are in his face, he will gently eat out of your hand. When you brush him there are no areas that are off limits, where he will snap at you. He is truly a happy go lucky dog. My dad had cancer so Duke hasn’t had the attention he deserves in the last 6 months. If you are remotely interested, just come and meet him and you will see everything I have said is true. He is not a barker unless something is in the yard that doesn’t belong. I will be willing to pay half the bill if you get him neutered.

Shelter intake date is set for 11/3/26. Very well mannered, no aggression shown. Gets along with dogs cats and people. Listens well, likes to snuggle, would be a great companion on hikes or running. He does bark initially when meeting new people or dogs but is accepting to new friends. He is u sure about people who approach him. He likes to take his time. Completely house trained and loves toys. He does fine on car rides, and has been homeless for the last few months, living in a van. I took him in temporarily to avoid a shelter but I can’t keep him and am desperate to find a home quickly. Falkon is 3.5 years old, male, neutered, half German shepherd and half unknown, 80 lbs. If there is any interest, we can do a meet and greet, no obligation. Located in Leander/Williamson county.

Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,
Story
Kovu is a 4yo unaltered male Great Pyrenees/german shepherd mix. He is the sweetest boy ever and loves his humans but is very very weary of strangers and will growl. Would prefer he go to a home without kids bc although he loves his kids very much I honestly wouldn’t trust him around kids he’s unfamiliar with. His favorite places to be are on the water, going for car rides and sleeping on his humans like a big ole weighted blanket. Recently came into critical financial hardships and can’t afford the extra care he needs. He gets chronic ear infections (currently has one that I can’t afford to treat) and was supposed to get his updated shots last month but financial emergencies happened and I was unable to take him. He also barks when we come home from work and my neighbors keep complaining and now it’s come down to him or us and I can’t afford to move. He is house trained and crate trained although hasn’t had one for a while. We also don’t have the time for him that he deserves anymore

Meet Odin, at 60 lbs and almost 2 years old, he is the perfect age and size. His DNA says he is: Belgian Malinois, Argentine Dogo, Siberian Husky and the rest is a mixed bag, even Cocker Spaniel! He loves going for walks, playing fetch, and cuddling with his person. He is very sweet, affectionate, and oh so handsome. He has beautiful markings, a soft coat, and a striking left eye that his half brown and half icy blue. Recently rescued from the euthanasia list, he is currently in a foster home learning house manners and personal space. He is completely vetted, neutered, potty-trained, and very smart; he is quickly picking up on commands and redirection. His ideal home is with someone who is patient and willing to work with him as he adjusts to his new surroundings. If you are looking for a loyal, affectionate companion, Odin is your guy! He welcomes play with children but because of his size and young age, older kids in the home would be best. Odin is being fostered in Austin, TX. You can meet him personally or via zoom.
