Story
Meet Brady! Brady arrived with the kind of heartbreak you can feel as soon as you meet a pup. Thirteen and a half years old, a tiny Pomeranian with a big history, suddenly uprooted after his mom’s dementia made it impossible for her to keep caring for him. He’s confused, scared, and trying his best to be brave while his whole world has changed overnight. He met the other dogs politely, kept his distance, and walked gently on leash, but you can see him scanning every corner for something familiar. He doesn’t love being picked up, and who can blame him?! His hips ache with arthritis, his heart murmurs along, and he’s back on the urinary diet that keeps those bladder stones at bay. What he needs now is simply a soft place to land and someone patient enough to let him exhale. Brady has lived well with another dog before, understands yard-to-leash life, and will happily shout about whatever he thinks needs announcing (including the outrageous act of you sitting at the table to eat without him). He’s been shaved down because brushing isn’t his thing, and he’s a little unsure of crates. But deep down, he’s just a senior boy who lost his person and is trying to understand what comes next. Brady will need someone calm, gentle, and willing to help him feel safe again. Could it be you? Brady is approximately 13 years old and 9 lbs. More details to follow as we get to know him better.

Story
Meet Oso! This sweet, bewildered floof was surrendered to the shelter because his owner “had no time” for him. Eleven years old. Completely blind. And possibly unable to hear. Imagine losing the world you know and the people you love ~ then being left in a loud, bright, unfamiliar place you can’t see. We quickly got him into a loving foster home where he was able to decompress . Once he did, we discovered that he is the sweetest, snuggliest, most loving little bear. Oso's top three list: 1) belly rubs, 2) belly rubs, and 3) more belly rubs! This little man loves to snuggle up and cuddle with his people, and when they're not available he'll find the nearest soft bed and sleep the soundest sleep you've ever seen. Despite being blind and hard of hearing, Oso navigates life with confidence and adapts beautifully to his surroundings. He loves being outside (see the photo of him soaking in a beautiful sunset while facing the wrong way) and is great on a leash and in the car. Oso gets along wonderfully with other dogs, cats, and children, is totally housetrained, and sleeps soundly through the night. He’s comfortable being home alone when needed, as long as he's in a smaller, contained area so he can't accidentally hurt himself. And as long as it has lots of comfy beds, of course. Oso has a mild (1/6) heart murmur but his radiographs look great and he doesn't need any medication for it. He's looking for a peaceful forever home that's generally calm and quiet, and gentle humans who will shower him with the love, cuddles, and belly rubs he deserves. He can navigate a few stairs under supervision, but it's best that any stairs in the home are blocked off for his safety. If you’re looking for a fluffy, affectionate king who will fill your life with warmth, joy, and sunshine, Oso is ready to meet you! Oso is approximately 11 years old and 9 lbs.

Story
APPLICATION LINK: https://shaynesrescue.com/adoption-application-pet-central-satx/ We must have an application to move forward. (Shayne's Rescue is an affiliate with PetCentralSATX). If there are problems with the website, please email me for help. MAX is a neutered male, approximately 6 ½ yrs old. He weighs 20#. (See below for his DNA Test.) We have had him professionally groomed to show off his beautiful tail. We had him shaved some which helps him keep clean. He’s a very sweet dog but he has gone through a major life event...the owner had to surrender him due to their loss of housing. Max took the adjustment hard but he has pulled through and now shows himself to be a wonderful affectionate dog. He is active and happy yet shy and submissive. He was not exposed to much of the outside world… like walking into the store or going to the park. Max gets along great with the other dogs. He asks to go outside and demands to come back in...scratching at the door. I see a lot of future for him with a loving person or couple that would like some company on an evening walk and fun with a picnic lunch. He is food motivated. Max likes being on the couch or in bed with his person. Max frequently comes up asking for love. He is house trained and most of the time he leaves my cats alone. I did catch him playing with one of my cats... they were both face-to-face and with one paw each swinging at each other. I wish I could have gotten that in a video. Max is also easy on the leash. I would NOT put him with young children… “adult-like” children would be fine. He is basically fairly quiet and would do well in an apartment. DNA TEST: 25% Dachshund (Mini Shorthair) 25% Pomeranian 12.5% Chihuahua 12.5% English Cocker Spaniel 12.5% Tibetan Spaniel 12.5% Breed Groups This dog is CURRENTLY IN TEXAS and available for pre-adoption. Adoptions include neuter/spay, vaccinations (DHPP, Bordetella, Rabies), microchip, health certificate, transport with our professional dog transporter, and 6 mos of heart worm prevention. If you have any questions or would like an e-mail from us as to how all of this works, text me (Terry); identify the dog's name and give me your email address... 210-394-6060. You can also go to our Facebook page... https://www.facebook.com/Pet-Central-SATX-866684826744181/ and LIKE us to help us out. After we review your application, we will contact you, and you'll have the opportunity to find out more from the rescue. If you experience any issues filling out the application you can contact us directly at petcentralsatx@gmail.com. This is ONLY if you have problems applying. If you have not applied, you will not receive a response so please only email if you have any issues applying. Adoption Fees The adoption fee includes transportation to the NE. All pups and dogs are fully vetted, spayed/neutered, microchipped, dewormed, have a negative heart worm test for all dogs over 6 months at time of transport, have a health certificate, and have all age-appropriate vaccinations. Some dogs/pups have additional medical, including but not limited to FHO, ACL, hernias, dental, and other vetting. All medical records will be provided to the adopter at the time they pick up their dog. This is a post on behalf of Pet Central SATX Rescue, headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, where there are over 350,000 homeless pets. We have hundreds of puppies/dogs available so there really is no need to apply anywhere else. Also, one application is good even if you are interested in several different dogs...one application no matter which one you choose. Thank you for choosing to adopt a rescue pup/dog. We firmly believe there is NO breed other than "rescue" for all species. Thank you for being part of the village it takes to save these precious lives.
