Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
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.

Story
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.

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.

Story
Eli has invented his own version of fetch: he bounces a tennis ball, catches it, sometimes throws it himself, and then invites you to chase him around the table. He’s smart, silly, and wonderfully treat-motivated—he knows sit and stay, enjoys working for snacks, and loves figuring out treat puzzles. After playtime, Eli is happy to settle in his bed or crate, and he’s housetrained, relaxed when left alone, and comfortable in the car. Eli has enjoyed playing with other dogs in foster care and playgroup, so a well-matched canine companion could be a great fit. He’s looking for an adult-only, cat-free home with a low-traffic routine and people who will give him daily walks, enrichment, and plenty of chances to put his playful brain to work. Meet Eli and see what kind of game he invents next!

Story
Meet Clarence—45 pounds of energy, athleticism, and enthusiasm! This handsome 1–2-year-old loves walks, chasing balls, and bringing them back...most of the time. He could make an excellent hiking or running buddy for someone who loves adventure. Clarence is very food motivated and knows “sit,” although his enthusiasm sometimes overrides his listening skills! He’ll benefit from consistent training and plenty of exercise. He’s still learning to keep all four paws on the floor, so a home without small children is best. Because of his strong prey drive, he needs a home without cats. He also prefers to be the only dog in the household. Looking for an active sidekick with plenty of personality? Clarence is ready to get moving! Apply here! https://www.centraltexasruffugees.org/copy-of-foster

**Meet Boomer! Looking for His Forever Home!** Everyone meet Boomer! This handsome boy is approximately 6 months old and we believe he may be a Black Mouth Cur/Basset Hound mix, although we aren't completely sure of his breed. Boomer is such a sweet, easygoing pup with a wonderful personality! He absolutely loves being around people and other dogs and enjoys being part of the family. He's doing amazing in his foster home and has already shown just how smart he is! A little more about Boomer: - Great with other dogs- He loves following his foster family's dogs around and playing with them. - Wonderful on walks- Boomer walks right beside you without pulling on the leash and loves stopping to say hello to people. - Smart and learning quickly- By his third day in his foster home, he had already figured out how to use the doggie door all by himself! - Sweet and affectionate- Boomer loves attention, enjoys having company and just wants to be part of the family. Boomer would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a loving, loyal dog or a family with another dog who could use a new best friend! He's still just a puppy with so much love to give and deserves a wonderful forever home! Interested in adopting Boomer? Adoption inquiries through Furever Friends and Rescue.
