Story
Snickers has been in the family for the last 10/11 years. My grandfather took care of him mostly and he recently passed. We are going through a lot of life changes and can no longer provide him the love & care he deserves. I was Snickers second “caregiver” and I will no longer be in the picture unfortunately. He is super sweet and has never growled. He is super shy around people but once he gets to know you he’s fine. He lived in an outside/inside area so he’s not well house trained and does like to mark his territory. He knows how to use the bathroom on puppy pads. I am looking for someone who is willing to take care of this senior baby. He hasn’t been to the vet in 3 years and does not have any updated shots to my knowledge. He is in wet food right now due to dental issues I believe. He is SO adorable & sweet but unfortunately as my grandfather got older he wasn’t able to give him the best care.

Story
Seamus was found abandoned on a road. He is a cuddly, playful boy who gets along great with other dogs. It's not known how he will get along with children and cats, because he's never been around either, but from his personality, we expect he'll do fine with both. Seamus is pee pad trained but not truly housebroken yet. He's not yet neutered, but either will be prior to adoption, or part of the adoption fee will be refunded after proof of neutering.

Cosmo

Rat Terrier

Male, 5 yrs 6 mos
Marble Falls, TX
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Not good with kids, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Cosmo is a small mixed breed with a rough past and a gentle soul that's still learning to trust the world. Rescued from a severe hoarding situation with approximately 100 other dogs, Cosmo has experienced trauma that shaped who he is today, but it doesn't define his future. Cosmo is not a dog for everyone. He is extremely anxious in new environments and with unfamiliar people, and he has a bite history stemming from fear. When cornered, grabbed, or overwhelmed, Cosmo will defend himself. He requires an experienced adopter who understands fearful and reactive dogs. ・An experienced adopter/foster who respects his boundaries and can read canine body language ・A calm, predictable environment with minimal stress ・No young children or chaotic households ・Time and space to feel safe Despite everything he's been through, Cosmo has moments of sweetness. He's an special little guy who, once comfortable, enjoys quiet companionship and gentle affection on his own terms. He deserves the chance to live his life in peace. Cosmo lost part of his tail in the hoarding situation and required amputation surgery. He's physically healed, but emotional healing takes longer. If you have the experience, patience, and heart to give Cosmo the understanding home he deserves, please contact us.

Penny Lane came to us from the Rio Grande Valley in South TX. She is just the sweetest little girl. Her tail is always wagging, showing her gratitude. She adjusted quickly to life in her foster home. Her favorite place to be is a cozy dog bed or sitting on your lap! Even her snoring sounds are adorable. In her foster home, she’s been very friendly with the dogs she has met. She’s working hard on basic training but will need some support with leash training and potty training. She does great in her crate. Penny Lane is under 15 lbs and estimated to be around 1 year old. She is almost ready to be adopted, so fill out our application now to get pre-approved! www.savingsouthtexas.com/adoptables

**Courtesy Post**Larry is not a Russell Rescue dog. Russell Rescue is only assisting with placement. All inquiries should be directed to Larry’s owner at tpontiff19@gmail.com ** Say hello to Larry. He’s about a year old and is in great physical condition. He’s neutered and vaccinated. Larry needs another home. He’s not real fond of other dogs so being an “only child” will be right up his alley! He will be able to have all the love and attention. Larry is still so young that he is going to need a lot of attention and training. He needs a patient owner and someone who is willing to be kind and loving with him. His new owner needs a securely fenced yard. No electronic fencing, and no wrought iron unless it is screened. If you are interested in Larry, you will need to go to RussellRescue.com and fill out the online adoption application. Larry is not a Russell Rescue dog. Russell Rescue is only assisting with placement. All inquiries should be directed to Larry’s owner at tpontiff19@gmail.com His owner is asking a small rehoming fee. Larry lives in Austin, Texas and his new owner will need to drive there to get him.

Good with dogs,
Story
We just can't say no to a gorgeous, very good boy in need, and when it's a dynamic duo of real dog legginess needing saving, then we are doubly inclined to step in.A bulldog rescue we are, and these boys are nothing if not the most honorary bulldogs, because we here feel like sometimes 'bulldog' is just a state of mind. Skippy and his best pal Locke are the dogs that anyone has been looking for to show off about town and amaze their friends and strangers alike with the perfection of their pets.Silly, snuggly, snuffly, and sweet; equal parts active and adorable, we can't get enough of these bois.True to breed and to form, little Skippy is the more feisty of the two.He's got a little spice to him and is happy to mess with his big brother to entertain himself.He's your typical big dog in a small body, so he will be sure to keep his lucky humans on their toes with his antics. Skippy and his brother were once 100% part of a family.They are both 'risiculously' potty trained and have the best house manners. They are practically perfect and are the ideal duo of real dogs that a bit of a more active family might be looking for.   To see more of our dogs, please go to https://austinbulldogrescue.com to see who is available and to learn how to get involved with ABR.
