Husky puppies and dogs in Austin, Texas

If you’re looking for a sweet, soft-hearted companion with classic husky charm (and a few endearing quirks), DC the Mixmaster may be your perfect match! DC is a lovely, gentle boy who thrives on kindness and reassurance. Though he’s six years old, he has the heart of a big, cuddly baby—especially when he’s feeling unsure. Loud, defensive, or aggressive-sounding dogs can scare him, and he’ll quietly tuck his tail and hide behind his trusted person for comfort. When he’s anxious, DC self-soothes in the sweetest ways: gently mouthing his bed, a tennis ball, a plush toy, or a special blanket. He knows exactly what’s his, too—he leaves kids’ toys untouched even when everything is scattered in an exciting pile on the floor. He doesn’t chew destructively, and he never mouths people. Despite his sensitive side, DC absolutely lights up when he sees friendly dogs. He wiggles, prances, and gets adorably overexcited, hoping everyone wants to be his friend. He also loves people—all people. He greets strangers with open enthusiasm and has zero interest in guarding a door, fence, or home. DC has shown wonderful manners with kids and teens of different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. He is gentle with a cautious 8-year-old, affectionate with a loving 15-year-old, and comfortable around a tall, rough-and-tumble 18-year-old. His calm, patient nature makes him a great fit for a home with respectful children. This sweet, affectionate boy has so much love to give. DC the Mixmaster is ready to join a family that will help him feel safe, cherished, and confident. In return, he’ll offer loyalty, laughter, and endless husky charm. Ready to make DC part of your story? He’s more than ready to become your newest best friend. 🐾💙

He’s not one to stir up drama in the dog yard and prefers a calm environment where everyone can just get along. With his gentle nature and endearing ‘old man’ charm, Lord Farquad is ready to bring peace, companionship, and a touch of royal sweetness to his forever home.

Hollie is a sweet, young, quiet, yet energetic dog that is very ready for her forever family. Hollie is mostly deaf and very quiet. She gets along with her foster siblings very well, adapting her play style to each of their temperaments quickly and easily, from playing chase or learning fetch to just hanging out in the yard. She loves affection, and gets along quickly and well with new dogs and new people of all ages. At less than a year old, she still has a lot of puppy zoomies energy, but is learning to appreciate her walks in the neighborhood and her down time as well. Crate trained, house trained, people friendly, dog friendly, Hollie would do well with other dogs around to help her learn and mature, and with a family willing to put in the energy to help train her.

He’s very energetic!! and loves to play and eat, he loves playing out doors. I have a cage, a dog bed, a leach and other items that I will give away when he is adopted!! The second picture is him as a puppy!! he was born October of 2024

With lots of cheese and patience, one of our street rescuers was able to safe her. She's still very afraid of the world and she will need a calm household with yard access.

Will you help us, give Candy a nice childhood from now on and a happy life? Basic requirements for Candy's home are an adult household with yard and a compatible dog companion for Candy.

Maia is part of our Family since she has 3 months old, very friendly and playful. She is very loyal and loves to stay around people. She knows a lot tricks and is potty trained. Unfortunately I can’t keep her I just had surgery and I am not able to take care of her. My kids are adults working and studying and my husband as well. She is around much love is very sad to let her go but is better to find a family that takes care of her. Thank you for being that family for her.

I picked up Kylo in league city Texas from a shelter. I’ve had him for almost 2 years and as of late I have been traveling a lot for work with no site of it slowing down. Kylo is 4 or 5 (the shelter was not sure). I believe he is more suited for a family that can give him attention. He is not hyper but craves attention. He does not like being outside all that much unless he goes on a walk. He enjoys toys and is a cuddler. He is not a barker.

Koda Final In Summary: - [ ] Koda is perfect. - [ ] 1-2 years old - [ ] 43 pounds - [ ] Neutered male - [ ] Has all shots - [ ] Likes other dogs and kids - [ ] Cats are questionable - [ ] Very athletic, smart, and social - [ ] Looking for Forever Home Now get comfortable for the story: Koda was abandoned in a small town in Texas. He has really good taste, so he found a nice house and notified the owners that he was moving in. They were perplexed, but what could they do? They started feeding him. However, their two Sphynx cats were adamantly against having another pet in the home, or even in the yard. They started behaving so badly that the owners realized they had to find another home for Koda. The family had tried to locate his actual owner, but of course, no one came to take Koda home. The high-kill shelter in their small town euthanizes dogs after 3 days, so that obviously wasn’t an option. The family contacted Furever Friends and Rescue and begged for help to find Koda a home. Luckily, a volunteer made room for him because he is such a very good boy, and Koda moved across the street to a foster home. He decided that although it wasn’t his first choice, it was OK. Koda moved his stuff into his new place. Koda was introduced to a new vet, and everyone there loved him immediately. He got all his shots and was neutered. He was declared to be a healthy 43 pounds. His jet black fur was shiny and his eyes were bright and intelligent. He was ready to start his search for a forever home. Koda wants a family of his own more than anything. He loves his foster family because they have trained him to walk on a leash, to be house trained, to use a doggy door, and to enjoy his crate when the family isn’t at home with him. They’ve taught him to sit patiently for food (a work in progress!) and to take treats gently. He knows some basic commands and is learning more every day. But Koda wants to be in his very own forever home. Koda thinks his perfect home would include a human who is active and who appreciates an active dog that would participate in all of his human’s activities. Koda is very athletic, and he likes to be right beside his human as much as possible. When walking with his human, Koda never takes his eyes off of them, and he frequently puts his nose in their palm to reassure the human that he is still right beside them. Koda is still young, maybe 1-2 years old, so he has lots of energy to spend with his family. However, Koda also knows how to settle at the end of the day. He is an experienced cuddler and couch potato when the opportunity arises. He likes to watch football and doesn’t get offended when his people yell at the tv. He will joyfully join in and bark his opinions of the play! Koda enjoys camping and hiking, but sometimes gets distracted by a squirrel (who doesn’t?) and will need to be gently reminded that squirrels aren’t toys. Koda has been on several trips with his foster family, and he is a wonderful traveler. He enjoys mountains and canyons, but prefers not to be outside for long in desert areas because black fur gets hot! Koda has expressed a wish to vacation on a lake or beach in the future, and he would be a great candidate to train on a paddle board or surfboard. Koda is also an excellent city dog. He joins in on walks in the morning and afternoon. Evening walks are often followed by dinner at a dog friendly restaurant. Koda sits quietly beside his human or lays under the table, and people often don’t notice him because his fur is in “supreme stealth mode.” (He plans to trademark that phrase.) When he is noticed, he is people-friendly and loves the attention and pets - as long as his people are OK with it. Koda also has a “protect mode” that automatically engages if his people feel uncomfortable or threatened. He is an excellent watch dog as well, and when his “protect mode” is engaged his black shiny fur and gleaming white teeth are quite terrifying. However, Koda is so smart that he understands when his people tell him everything is Ok, and he will sit quietly and wait for his next command. Koda is very gentle with children of all ages, but smaller children may be knocked over in his exuberance. He would enjoy kids of his own to play with, and maybe a young and active dog sibling. Neither are required for his happiness, though. Koda would be just as happy as an only child. Sadly, some smaller dogs don’t seem to like Koda because he is very active and they are fearful of being knocked over or stepped on. But occasionally a smaller dog decides that the shiny black fur looks really comfortable, and they cuddle up with him. Go figure. Larger dogs sometimes don’t like his energy either, but when he finds that perfect dog match, their playtime is a joy for the dogs and their humans. Koda’s recent experience with the sphynx cats has soured his opinion of all cats. He would probably need a cat-free home, but it’s possible that he might make an exception. It would have to be on a case by case basis with a dog-experienced cat. If you can’t tell from this narrative, Koda’s foster family loves him and wants the very best for him. He is very deserving of a wonderful family who will dedicate their lives to his wellbeing. He is very smart, adaptable, and nearly perfect. Could you be the lucky family who gets to experience life with this very good boy? If you’re interested in meeting Koda, please fill out the adoption application at the link below. There’s no obligation for filling it out, but because Koda is being fostered in Childress, TX, the rescue does require an approved application before arranging a meet and greet.

Meet Zoro: the most majestic and goofy cuddle bug you've ever met! Everyone comments on how striking his eyes and mane are, but he's more than just a pretty face. Be aware, he will make cute little husky sounds if he wants your attention. It's hard to ignore his puppy-dog eyes when he wants to go for walks. Zoro is also very athletic! He's a great running buddy and will play fetch with you. He's intelligent and treat-motivated so he loves brief training sessions and already knows how to sit, lie down, and shake. Zoro tends to be suspicious of new people but it's amazing how quickly he becomes affectionate once he realizes you're just another friend who can give him some love. Check out my Instagram page @misterzoro.dawg Come set up a time to meet Zoro and learn what a fun and fluffy dog he is!
