Story
Bubble Boy may be small, but his story is big. This little geriatric Maltese mix has clearly had it rough. When he arrived, he was severely matted, uncomfortable, and in pain, carrying the weight of long-term neglect on his tiny frame. But beneath the tangles and tenderness is a gentle soul who is finally getting his chance to feel safe. He's gotten a haircut and is ready to find himself a foster or adopter to help him spend his golden years in the comfort of a home. Despite all he’s been through, Bubble Boy has a quiet sweetness about him. He may be unsure at first — and who could blame him? — but with slow, gentle care, he leans in just a bit closer, showing us that his heart is still open and hopeful. 💛 What Bubble Boy Needs This special senior needs an adopter who can offer: Patience and sensitivity as he decompresses A calm, loving home free of chaos Regular grooming to keep him comfortable moving forward Ongoing veterinary care and lots of TLC as he heals and regains comfort Right now, Bubble Boy isn’t ready for long walks or big adventures. What he needs most is someone who can give him warmth, security, and the chance to finally relax. We wouldn't recommend him to live with kids, but think he could live with another animal that isn't too high energy and just coexists with him.

Story
Pip is a very curious and super playful dog, he loves to play fetch and will bring the toy of his daily choice (he rotates through all of them) to throw it for him, we haven't discovered what is the maximum amount of time he can do it for, he has quite the stamina. He loves going on walks and does not pull the leash, he can spend a long time in just one spot sniffing and carefully exploring. He is super motivated by food, and if he can see his food on the counter, he will constantly stare at it. Once he warms up to people, he is very affectionate and gets quickly attached. He loves to snuggle, and just be close to people, but his safe space is his little dog bed, he will climb in when it is time to go to sleep or whenever he wants to take a nap during the day.

Story
Meet Theo! Theo is a playful, affectionate, and loyal dog with the perfect mix of energy and sweetness. He loves playing fetch and will happily bring you his favorite toy over and over, waiting excitedly for you to throw it again. His playful personality makes every day more fun, and he’s always ready for an adventure or a game. Despite his energy, Theo also knows when it’s time to relax. If you’re sitting on the couch or working around the house, he’ll happily settle down right beside you. Theo loves being close to his people and is a true “Velcro dog” who enjoys following you from room to room just to be near you. He thrives on companionship and loves giving and receiving affection. Theo is looking for a family that will include him in their daily life, give him plenty of love, and enjoy both playtime and cuddle time. In return, he’ll be a devoted best friend who fills your home with joy, loyalty, and unconditional love.

Story
Hi, I'm Corbin. I'm a loving senior dog just looking to spend my twilight years in peace and comfort. I'm vision impaired, but I don't let that stop me, especially if I have doggie friends to help guide me. In fact, I feel most comfortable with dog friends. They make me feel calm! Since I'm a a little on the older side, I benefit from routine! I will fit wonderfully in a dog-friendly, structured household/ I'm perfectly housetrained, too, and take treats like a champ! I'm happiest when I'm curled up beside you, soaking in all the cozy moments life has to offer, whether it be snuggling on the couch or taking a mid afternoon nap. Come meet me and discover what it's like to have a devoted little companion who just wants to be your shadow. ❤️ NEXT STEPS: Complete our quick adoption form by copying and pasting this link into your browser: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FBF/Dog Or visit footbridgefoundation.org and follow the adoption prompts.

This bonded pair will require a securely fenced yard and frequent grooming.    San Antonio area has over 800,000 homeless pets.
