A loyal heart and an easygoing nature define Low Key, who is ready to find a steady new chapter in life. He recently arrived after his previous owner sadly passed away, and while family friends cared for him initially, they ultimately needed to find him a placement that fit their budget. Because he is brand new to the current routine, his direct everyday habits are still being discovered, but the friends who knew him well have shared wonderful insights into his true character. According to those who know his background, this friendly fellow is a loving and playful companion who balances his active moments with a relaxed disposition. He is already crate trained, which provides a fantastic head start for transitioning smoothly into a new living space. He is also described as being great in a yard, making him a wonderful match for anyone who enjoys spending peaceful time outside or playing casual fetch. Low Key brings the enduring devotion of a truly loyal pet, ready to direct his affectionate spirit toward a brand-new bond.

Story
This is Monty. He looks like he’s seen some things… because he has. He’s got the permanent scowl of a disgruntled DMV employee and the soul of a tired mall security guard who’s just trying to finish his shift. Monty has spent 9.5 years in and out of the shelter system, and frankly? He’s over it. This senior meatball is ready to hang up his leash and retire in peace…preferably on your couch, judging your snack choices and questioning your life decisions. Here’s what Monty brings to the table: ✔️ Fully house-trained, couch-trained, and life-trained ✔️ Barks never, grumbles often ✔️ Follows you around like a suspicious but loyal shadow ✔️ Will press his snoot into your leg when he wants a treat, walk, or existential clarity ✔️ Has the emotional depth of a French film character ✔️ Enjoys short walks, long naps, and complaining about the youth Here’s what Monty doesn’t do: ❌ Children – he’s 75 in dog years and doesn’t have the patience for sticky fingers or shrill voices ❌ Dogs – hard pass. He prefers to be spoiled. ❌ Cats – just, no. ❌ Visitors – unless they bring cheese, in which case he will allow them to exist ❌ Elevators – he prefers the reliable simplicity of stairs ❌ Nonsense – of any kind Monty’s ideal home? Quiet. Chill. No drama. Just you (or you and your boo), a soft couch, some snacks, and a few hours of Judge Judy reruns. Bonus points if you also hate TikTok. 🛋️ Not sure if you’re ready to adopt? We have short-term fostering options like sleepovers! It’s like test-driving the grandpa lifestyle, minus the hard candy and long voicemails. His mushy face and million-dollar underbite are available for the low, low price of FREE because APA! offers a senior discount (aka $0 adoption fee) for dogs over 7. Interested? 📧 Email matchmaker@austinpetsalive.org 📲 Follow him: @adopt_montythepit 📣 Send to a friend who needs a grumpy soulmate.

Skade has a beautiful way of making an immediate, quiet connection with the people she meets. When someone approaches her, she will gently lift her paw up to touch them as her own unique way of saying hello. She recently arrived after her previous owner sadly passed away, and while family friends cared for her initially, they ultimately needed to find her a placement that fit their budget. While the busy environment of a bustling shelter can make her feel a bit shy, her friendly and affectionate nature shines through clearly in calmer moments. She is a sweet companion who brings an easygoing balance to her daily interactions. This clever girl is both silly and playful, showing an active spirit that makes her a wonderful partner for outdoor time. Skade particularly enjoys heading out to walk on trails, taking in all the natural sights and scents along the path. She is also highly motivated by treats and loves to work for her food, which provides a fantastic foundation for engaging her mind and building a close bond through focused activities. Skade offers a wonderful mix of playful energy and gentle, affectionate charm. She is ready to bring her endearing paw-shake hello and sweet disposition into a home where she can thrive. If you are looking for an easygoing, trail-walking companion to share your adventures, reach out today to bring Skade into your life.

Eli is new to us, so we’re currently getting to know him and are sharing helpful information provided by his previous home and the shelter. This friendly, loving pup enjoys meeting new people and has a way of making fast friends wherever he goes. Eli is housetrained and already knows commands like sit and stay, which shows how eager he is to connect and learn with his people. Treats are a favorite reward, and he’s always happy to show off his good manners when snacks are involved. Playtime is one of Eli’s favorite parts of the day. He enjoys games of fetch, going for walks, and getting his paws on squeaky toys or a good chew bone. Eli has also been playful with other dogs and got along well with another dog in the home, making him a fun companion for both people and canine friends. Above all, Eli’s best qualities are his loving heart and friendly spirit. He’s the kind of dog who enjoys being part of the action, whether that’s heading out for a walk or relaxing nearby after a day of play. If you’re looking for a friendly companion with a playful side and a lot of love to give, Eli could be a wonderful addition to your home.

Story
Jed is a handsome, approximately 1-year-old Catahoula mix who has already been through more than any dog should. He was found after being abandoned, hiding underneath a stranger's porch, too frightened to come out. Instead of running, he curled up tighter, hoping the world would simply leave him alone. Thankfully, he was rescued and is now safe. Jed is looking for a loving family that will give him the chance he's never had. He may be a little shy at first, but with kindness, and time, he'll learn what it feels like to truly belong. His striking one blue eye and one brown eye make him unforgettable, but its his gentle heart that will win you over. If you're looking for a loyal companion and are willing to let trust grow at his pace, Jed could be the perfect addition to your family. Approximate Age: 1 year Location: Clarendon, Texas Transport available to approved adopters anywhere for the right home. Jed has waited long enough. Could you be the one to show him that hell never be abandoned again?
