Story
Ranger is house trained and uses a pet door. We use to have 3 other dogs in the house and he got along with them. He does not bark a lot. We live on the corner. He sleeps in a bed or lays on a rug. He has not been much a lap dog, but that because of the elderly lady that has him. He is still energetic and lays out side when the weather permits.

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!

Story
Hi, I'm the big girl of my family but that doesn't mean I'm bossy or anything. I can be real quiet sometimes when meeting new people and let the little girls scout things out. Just like my girls, I can't have no litters of puppies or anything like that and I REALLY like to eat, it's a passion but I'll let you help me learn to eat healthy and a little exercise is good for the heart and soul right?. I'm all ready to go home just like my littler sisters I came in with. We make a really nice family because we work so well together, so please find my girls Kassie and Mitzi and maybe you will bring us all home? And don't forget about our friends at ClassicCaninesATX who provide an extra level of support--ask staff!Signed Trixie (you can call me any sweet names you want but don't call me late to dinner ok?)

Rat Terrier

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.

Story
• Around 4–5 years old and 15 pounds • Jack Russell mix • Neutered and up to date on all vaccines • Very shy/scared at first, but incredibly sweet once he feels safe • Semi potty trained — with a consistent schedule he does very well • Very anxious with loud noises such as thunderstorms or fireworks, and he will want to sit in your lap to feel safe • During storms he may use pads indoors • Great with people • Has had some issues with other dogs in the home, so he may do best as the only pet or with slow introductions • Has not been around cats, so I'm unsure how he would react • Walks very well on a leash and could be a great running buddy

Story
Piercy B is a very sweet 7 or 8 year old purebred short legged and short haired Un neutered male Jack Russell Terrier. He is all white with 2 black spots, 1 on each ear tip (hence the name Piercy) and named after pierce Bronson from 007. Piercy is looking for a family to take him in! Especially a family who has a teenager whom likes to hunt, fish, hike, swim, boat, play fetch tugs war, and go on truck rides. He is potty trained but going to a new home will need retraining! He will need lots of property and loves water to dive into. Unfortunately I have to find Piercy a home… We have no time for him and it’s unfair. I Guarantee you won’t have a rodent or any pesky wild animal problems.. 1 problem is you can’t have chickens.. He’s good around Turkey and other farm animals like Horses, cows, goats, sheep etc. He has been around cats but I would slow introduce. He has never bitten anyone and I believe his last set of shots was a year ago.he has been chipped.He’s Fun and We Will Miss him!
