Meet Nitro! If you're looking for a playful, active, mischievous, cuddly dog, Nitro's the best furry friend for you! Nitro is house trained and is happy to report back limited accidents, and he's very good at becoming friends with other dogs.

If you have a chew stick, Nitro will walk right up to you and cuddle you in an attempt to bribe you for it! Nitro also has some of the best zoomies his foster's have ever seen. He loves doing figure eights through their backyard at top speed. Nitro would definitely do best in a more active home, he is very energetic and needs multiple walks a day and really enjoys his weekly hikes. He thrives on consistency and would do best with someone who has a set schedule so that he knows exactly how his day will go. Take Nitro home today!

Story
He is still young (1.5 years), so he is hyper at times and likes to jump around. He is a smart dog, with some attention, training and the ability to run a little bit, he will thrive. He is very loyal to us, but it takes him a minute to get comfortable around strangers. He has a deep bark, so no one will want to break into your home, but he has never bitten or been aggressive towards anyone. He loves to play fetch and tug-a-war. If you are a confident dog lover with a little time and attention you will gain a best friend for life. It’s really hard to let him go, but we know there is a great fit waiting for him right around the corner.

Story
This is Wednesday. She is a 3-year-old harlequin Great Dane. She is spayed and current on all vaccinations. She loves everyone. Well trained. Has lots of energy. She is in need of a new home because she is a big leaner, which is not a good thing when you have elderly people in the house. If interested in giving the sweet girl, a new home, please go to our website and fill out the adoption application. www.pawsofaustin.org

Story
Charlie is one of two Great Danes that were rescued from an abandoned home. He was left in the yard during the cold freezing weather without food or water. Luckily the police stepped in and he was removed and brought in to our rescue. Charlie is a beautiful harlequin Great Dane. He is estimated to be about a year old. He is on the small size of the breed, probably due to poor nutrition and lack of care. Charlie gets along with other dogs. Charlie is neutered and he is current on all vaccinations. Unfortunately he is HW+ (like most the dogs we get from South Texas), but started the treatment. If you'd like to give this sweet boy a new home, please go to our website and fill out the adoption application.

Story
Blue is one of two Great Danes that were rescued from an abandoned home in Santa Rosa TX, near the Mexico border. The dogs were left in the yard during the cold freezing weather without food or water. A concerned neighbor posted pictures on FB, so people started calling the local police Dept. After endless calls, the PD went to the house and let the dogs out of the yard. The dogs got picked up and next day came into our rescue. Once we got the dogs, we took them to our vet, where they were examined and vaccinated. It's obvious that these dogs did not get the care they needed, as both were very emaciated and underweight. Blue is estimated to be about 1 1/2 years old. He is on the small size of the breed, due to poor nutrition and lack of care. Blue is neutered and he is current on all vaccinations. Unfortunately he is HW+ (like most the dogs we get from South Texas), but started the treatment. If you'd like to give Blue a new loving home, please go to our website and fill out the adoption application.

Story
Bear is 3 years old. We got him from our friend's oops litter. Unfortunately, we no longer have time or energy for him at this point in our life; both work full-time out of the home and have 2 small kids. Bear gets along with people of all ages (although he is not aware of how big or strong is he.) He is content to be a couch potato but is also always ready to run and play with you. He will always greet you at the door to welcome you home. He would do best in a home with an experienced owner. He is reactive towards other animals and does have a prey drive as well.

Story
Let me introduce myself - My name is Deuce. I'm part Great Dane, part Black Lab and 100% goofy! Play time is the absolute best, especially with other dogs with similar play styles. I love going on adventures, like hiking, exploring, and car rides - yes please! I've been told I'm a bit of a sun-worshipper - who doesn't enjoy a good nap, soaking up some rays?!?! I play nicely with my stuffed toys and even share nicely with my canine friends. If I get bored while alone, I will find something to keep me busy, so I much prefer to have a human or canine companion. I'm treat motived and know some basic commands, like sit and down. I enjoy learning new commands and skills, I may not be the fastest learner, but I am a thorough learner. Deuce has been at the shelter since August 2021 - he is so ready for his forever home. Deuce has a little extra in his swagger, kind of a "John Wayne" walk. Occasionally you'll catch him skip a beat in his gait or he might easily trip, but it certainly doesn't slow him down for walks, jogs, or play time. If anything, it makes him even more interesting and endearing. Deuce may chase cats that run but may be able to co-exist with cats that stand their ground. Mostly he just wants to play with them. Deuce can be a little unsure around new people so he will need a patient adopter that allows him to get to know new people at his pace. Most importantly, Deuce is loving, loyal and will melt to the ground when doted on - he will make a truly wonderful companion and keep you smiling from all his silly antics!

Story
Grey is a super sweet full breed Great Dane. She will be 10-years old in August and normally Great Danes have a life span of 8 years. She was a runt and runts seem to live longer. As a runt she’s a little smaller than normal female Danes as she weighs about 100 lbs. Grey has PLENTY of life left. She’s very active for her age. We’ve had her since she was 12 weeks old and it is heartbreaking that we have to look for another home for her. We’re selling our house and making some life changes that won’t allow us to keep her.

Story
I adopted Nika from a farm back in 2019. She was born in Feb 2019. I met her sweet parents, dad is the Great Dane. I just found out my sons chronic sickness is due to animal allergy. Up until this point Ive tried to do everything I can to keep Nika. She sheds so much. I am a (recently divorced) single parent of two. Nika could really use some more attention, I work long hours and she can be stuck home for 10 hours. She deserves so much better than what Im able to give. Kid friendly, especially around toddlers, poking and prodding. Good around other dogs, birds, and as for cats Im not sure, shes curious. Shes kind of a big dopey teddy bear. Her bark sounds scary which can be useful. proud of keeping everyone safe. Never attacked anyone. Nika is healthy, UTD on shots for the next month or so, she isnt spayed, never been pregnant. I will give you her harness, food, and a few toys. Also, she loves to cuddle and forgets how big she is. May accidentally pummel you trying to hug you.

Oso is a head turner! A beautiful coat of fur, hazel eyes, and 100 lbs of LOVE! If you are looking for a big dog who is already well mannered, look no further.He’s a gentle giant who likes his independence, and has experience living in a house with other children and pups! He LOVES affection, tummy rubs and cuddles. Volunteers have said on two different occasions that after taking him out for a walk, they were laughing! With such a large body, he is the complete opposite- gentle, calm and soft spoken.His previous owner says that he can be left alone for long periods of time without accidents, and is very smart. He knows “Ven” for “Come” in Spanish, and we have seen him pick up on other commands quickly like Sit.Oso is laid back and does his own thing. We think that he is a low maintenance pup who just wants to give love and cuddles. If this sounds like what you have been looking for, we hope you come into AAC and meet our gentle giant, Oso!

Story
Meet Cairo! Cairo is a smart pup and quick learner. With some positive reinforcement and consistency, Cairo will thrive in a loving home. He already has some basic training under his belt and is house-trained, making him an excellent candidate for anyone looking for a canine companion who`s ready to settle right in. He would be over the moon with a spacious backyard to romp around in (and chase his tail), but what he craves most is quality time with his people. Whether it`s fetching a ball, going for a run in the park, or simply curling up next to you on the couch for a cozy cuddle session with big snores, he`s always up for any kind of activity that brings him closer to his humans.If you`re searching for a furry friend who will bring endless smiles, laughter, and an abundance of love into your life, Cairo could be the perfect match for you.

Story
You simply must meet Gunner in person. He has a larger stature but is very respectful. When he arrived he was amazed to see any dog nautiness going on around him and generally tried to stay on the down low and away from all that. He seems to expect his neighbors to be as mannered as he is. He`s an easy leash walker and loves people and seems to want to be friends with friendly dogs. He loves his time running in the play yard and he`s quite happy after a 10 minute outing. Come and meet him and see why a mature dog can be the best choice for people of all ages. He`s advocated for by his many friends and fans including Classic Canines who are helping to make land bridges out of the shelter for mature dogs that took a fork in the road of life due to life`s hardships.
