Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
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.

Skade has a beautiful way of making an immediate, quiet connection with the people she meets.

This clever girl is both silly and playful, showing an active spirit that makes her a wonderful partner for outdoor time.

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?
