Story
Pesto is a sweet, curious, gentle boy looking for someone to help him come out of his shell and gain some confidence! He started his shelter journey in ICU with a broken leg but now that he’s feeling better he can’t wait to move on from the shelter and start a new chapter of his life! He’s having a hard time managing his stress, so for that reason he isn’t putting his best paw forward when you meet him kennel side- however once he’s out he’s calm and well mannered! His ideal home would be a quiet one, someone who has the patience to help him learn all about the world and let him know it doesn’t have to be scary. He loves to cuddle, is awesome in the car and walks great on a leash. If you think this quiet, curious boy could fit nicely into your family come on down, he would love to meet you!

Story
Hola, amigos! I'm Mole, the most charming bilingual dog you'll ever meet. With my wagging tail and heart of gold, I'm on a quest to find my forever family, and I can't wait to sprinkle some love into your life! At first glance, you might catch a glimpse of my shy side, but give me a little time, and you'll discover the true Mole - a loyal and devoted best friend. My heart does a happy dance when one of my pals at the shelter takes me for a walk. Trust me; my joy is infectious! Home life? Nailed it! I'm a pro at house and I can free roam the house, making me the paw-fect addition to any home. Belly rubs are my love language, and playing with toys is my jam. Throw in some delicious food, and you've got my perfect day - simple, yet oh-so-satisfying. Did I mention I'm bilingual? That's right! I've mastered the art of understanding both English and the language of love. Whether you want to converse about treats, walks, or just share your day, I'm all ears - and maybe a few adorable head tilts. If you're on the lookout for a dog that will reciprocate your love tenfold, look no further. I'm here, I'm ready, and I'm excited to embark on this journey of companionship. Swing by, and let's make sure our love story is the one that lasts forever. Hasta luego, amigos!

Meet Amethyst! Amethyst is one of the sweetest cuddle bugs we’ve ever met! Amethyst previously spent time at Austin Animal Center in a foster home and has a HUGE volunteer fan club at AAC! A little about our favorite girl: •She can be a little shy at first with initial stranger danger but once she knows you, she demands belly rubs and cuddles •She needs someone who can lead her to confidence and do proper introductions - this may include introducing her to visitors outside of the house •Once she is comfortable to be herself, she loves to play or just hangout with her people on the couch! She lets you decide and is just happy to be your companion •She has been enrolled in Confidence Building Classes and her friends can talk you through what she has learned to maintain consistency! •She is a perfect apartment size at around 50 lbs! •Needs to be in an ONLY pet home (and no cats), although she doesn’t seem to mind dogs •Would do best with children over 12 and in a generally low traffic home •She is house-trained, leash-trained and LOVES water!April 24, 2024, 2:28 pm

Story
I adopted Bella a little over 5 years ago through a coworker (C). She had been left with C by 2 men under the guise of short-term care. After being at C’s house, it became clear Bella had been abused. The two men never came back for her, and when C could no longer care for her, I adopted her. Since then Bella’s become a well-adjusted, happy dog who is creeping into senior status. Bella has some separation anxiety, is initially nervous around men, dislikes thunder and other loud noises, and doesn’t like being left alone for long periods. She LOVES visiting my in-law’s ranch, walks, and snuggles, and is most content simply sharing space with her pack. She’s great with dogs and kids, but unfortunately, we have not been able to care for her adequately due to financial struggles (I’m 8 mos pregnant with 2 other young kids). The best home for her would be somewhere with room to run, a cozy corner for her to claim, and lots of love and consistency. We have more to tell if you’re interested!

Story
Rosita is a very affectionate young girl who is playful and very smart. She has caught on well to basic commands (sit, down, wait, paw). She is housetrained and LOVES her crate for down time and sleeping.Rosita is currently fostered in a home with two older dogs (ages 7 and 8). While she has adjusted well to living with her two canine companions, she may do best as an only dog or in a home with an experienced dog owner.Rosita experiences leash reactivity outside the home that she is currently working on with the support of a behavior plan and is showing the beginnings of some ability to control and redirect her “big feelings”.Rosita will require a home that can provide her with continued work on her behaviors, a home with the time and patience to give her the engagement and training that her young and active mind needs. She loves her plush toys and benebones, and has never chewed up furniture or items not meant for her chewing. She loves games and snuffle puzzles.Rosita is a wonderful loving girl (she still loves to sit in your lap and bring you her toys) who would make a great companion as long as her behavior needs met.

Story
A dashing, youth-minded guy is tucked inside a gentle, wise mature dog...what a perfect blend! Please allow Reilly`s age to share its privileges with you - like wisdom, his grasp of language, the gift of social graces, being easy to get along with, easy to please, and he doesn`t get worked up about life`s noise levels including vacuums and thunder. Just a little green space goes a long way with Reilly. He`ll stay fit while having fun, rolling over and kicking his legs up into nice, long stretches feels so good and a little sunbathing feels so good. He`ll encourage play, and tag along with dog crewmates at home, breaking into short sprints and having pretend chase games. Count him in! He loves easy, sauntering walks if that`s your thing. And he`s not going to leave the felines out of the equation, he`s friendly with them too if they don`t mind him hanging around in the house. He loves his animal family as much as he loves his people. He shares his treats and toys and expects lots of good back scratches for being a very good boy. He`s house trained and doesn`t mark. His wellness care during his fostership has been sponsored by Classic Canines. A full set of medical records are available - that means there`s no surprises! Are you ready to open your home to a nice guy like Reilly who needs a spot to share `the best of the rest` of his life? Reach out on his ADOPT link and start a discussion with his foster.
