Story
Hi, I'm new to Austin and am looking forward to meeting a foster or adopter to help show me around! My friends at APA might not know a ton about me just yet, but you could help them get valuable notes by offering to take me on a sleepover for a few days. Please stop by the shelter to meet me today or if my location says "Foster" click the Adoption Inquiry button to get connected to my foster!

Story
Charley is an easygoing, thoughtful girl who has settled beautifully into her foster home. After nearly a decade in one home, she’s taken this big life transition in stride; within minutes of walking into her current foster home, she was relaxing, following the household routine, and coexisting peacefully with resident dogs and cats. She enjoys being near her people, joining in on “pack” walks, and soaking up the simple comforts of home life. Charley is a friendly dog who seeks out connection, but she prefers a respectful, consent-based approach to touch. She’s shown that she’s most comfortable with gentle, predictable interactions and does best when her boundaries, especially around her neck and while eating, are honored. In her foster home, she’s been calm and easy to live with, including during mealtimes when given appropriate space. She is reliably house-trained with no accidents and walks nicely on leash, making her a smooth addition to a daily routine. Charley will thrive with an experienced, patient adopter who understands dog body language and is comfortable managing mild resource guarding and touch sensitivity. In return, she offers loyalty, companionship, and a genuinely sweet nature that shines when she feels safe and understood. She’s a great match for a quieter home without young children, where she can continue to relax and be appreciated for the wonderful dog she is.

Story
Kanga is looking for a squirrel-hunting fur-ever partner! Kanga is a gentle giant who wants nothing more than to cuddle up and go on long walks looking for squirrels. His favorite pastime is rolling in the grass and trying to befriend every passerby, furry or not. When no one is around, Kanga enjoys hanging out with his cat BFF or chills out in his crate with his favorite blankets and toys. Kanga first came to APA in 2021 to receive care after having been shot in the spine. He needed to have one of his hind legs amputated, but he quickly adapted to life on 3 legs. The injuries to his spine left him incontinent, but all that means is he requires a few extra potty breaks a day, and he wears fashionable diapers when he's inside the house. He isn't aware of his differences, and they certainly don't get him down! He can climb stairs, jump out of the car, and will snuggle on the couch with you when you're feeling down. Despite all that Kanga has been through, he is the most happy-go-lucky, friendly and affectionate dog around. Looking for your new BFF? Ask about Kanga today!
