Story
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. Reach out to learn more about bringing Eli home through adoption or foster.

Story
Meet Buddy – A Gentle Soul Looking for His Perfect Match! Buddy is a senior Ridgeback/Black Mouth Cur mix with a heart full of love and a personality that shines once he feels safe. He may be shy at first and take some time to decompress, but once he’s comfortable, his sweet and gentle nature comes through. Buddy absolutely loves other dogs and enjoys their company. He is both house-trained and crate-trained—in fact, his crate is his happy place! When left alone, he prefers the security of his kennel, and even when his humans are home, he often chooses to relax there with the door open. This lovable senior does well on a leash and would thrive in a quiet, low-energy home with a patient adopter who understands that he needs time to adjust. While he hasn't been around young children, his gentle nature suggests he would be great with them. We don’t know how he is with cats, but he gets along wonderfully with other dogs. Buddy’s favorite toys are anything soft and squishy, and he enjoys the simple comforts of companionship. He would be the perfect match for someone looking for a loving, loyal companion who doesn’t need a high-energy lifestyle. With patience and understanding, Buddy has so much love and potential to share. Are you the kind soul ready to give Buddy the forever home he deserves?

Story
Dimples is the kind of dog who steals your heart quietly. With his soulful eyes and gentle presence, he’s a sensitive, tender-hearted boy who just needs a little time to feel safe, and once he does, his sweetness truly shines. He’s been making wonderful progress as he settles into a home routine, gaining confidence in ways that feel like big victories for him. New things can be intimidating at first, but with patience and encouragement, Dimples rises to the occasion and seems genuinely proud of himself when he conquers something new. He’s a champion napper who loves cozy spots, lounging on the couch, or curling up on his dog bed while you go about your day. Dimples forms deep bonds with his people and shows his affection in the softest ways, with gentle tail wags, sweet greetings, and a calm desire to be close. He can be cautious with new people and appreciates a slow, respectful approach, but trust comes with consistency and kindness. On walks, he’s relaxed and social with other dogs, enjoying polite hellos and moving along happily without pulling. He’s still learning the ropes of home life and does best with supervision, clear routines, and positive reinforcement. Chew toys are a favorite, and he responds well to redirection as he continues to figure things out. A calm, confident canine companion could be a wonderful role model for him and help boost his confidence even more. Dimples has so much love to give and is blossoming more each day. For someone who believes in going slow, building trust, and celebrating progress, he has the potential to be an incredibly loyal and rewarding companion.

Story
We adopted Cali from the Wimberley area. He was a rescue and was found in a box on the side of the road. He had one brother and they were puppies on a ranch. Our house has a very little back yard and our little puppy grew up to be a big boy. He is 3 years old and is now requiring more yard than I can afford. He has received dozens and dozens of A+ report cards from Paws Landing and loves playing with other dogs. He would thrive on acreage and enjoys spending time outside. He is very loyal and can’t wait to see you when you get home from work. He loves to cuddle and get ear scratches. He will be your very best friend and go on every adventure with you. Full disclosure He is very strong and fast does require a lot of running/walks, Forrest adventures and food. Disclaimer: The person walking him should be fit and over 150lbs. He is good off leash in the wilderness and comes when called.

🐾 STRIPER (OR RENAME ME!) 🐾 Hi! My name is Striper… but you can rename me if you’d like! I’m an approximately 8-month-old mixed-breed boy who was found living as a stray. Despite my rough start, I’m a happy, friendly pup who still believes every person could be my new best friend. I’m estimated to weigh around 40 pounds and appear to be some type of bird dog mix. I love people, enjoy attention, and have a playful, outgoing personality. The nice people who found me said I was gentle with everyone I met, including children. I would love a family that will help me learn what it’s like to be a cherished indoor dog. In return, I’ll provide plenty of love, loyalty, and smiles. My Highlights: 🐾 Approximately 8 months old 🐾 Male 🐾 Friendly and outgoing 🐾 Gentle with people 🐾 Appears to do well with other dogs 🐾 Ready for a forever family I’ve survived on my own long enough. Now I’m ready for a couch, a family, and a name that will be mine forever. Could that be with you? Transportation is available for the right home! 📧 Interested in adopting Striper?
