Story
Affectionately called "Dorito Ears," Trap is very smart and knows the common commands. He would also want to let you know that he would love to learn more from you! His favorite things in the world are discovering balls in the yard and his friends. This cuddle bug would like an medium/active energy owner. By this we mean, you either love walks or would fit him into your gardening time in the yard. He would know how to self entertain with balls/toys as you garden, but sometimes would come in check with you to make sure you know he's still your garden pal. Treat motivated and Dog selective, Trap can be friends with his peers with proper introductions. He trusts the humans he knows and will slowly warm up to strangers. Once he gets some of his energy out, Trap is very content just relaxing, check in for some pets, napping, and playing with his toys. He also loves to snuggle. Trap is very house trained and rides well in the car. He is a very smart cookie and loves puzzle games too! He will thrive with an active person who will engage his body and his brain. If you've read this far, here are some unique quirks Trap has. He is afraid of sizzling noise of kitchen cooking, curious about dish washer, and is not a fan of the vacuum sounds. Will gather most of his toys into a place he's identified as his safe space / nap spot / or eating place. Knows the words home, find it, and inside + up/down. Understands Let's go/ walkie. Has a strong sit and lay down command is still being worked on. I'M NOT AT APA! yet, but I’m hoping my turn is coming soon. I’m currently at a partner shelter, and I’ve been placed on their Urgent Placement List - which means I’m one of their highest priority dogs to find a way out. I’ve been told that if someone steps up to foster or adopt me, APA! will bring me into their program and help me get ready for home life, so I'm just waiting to be chosen. All it takes is one person to change everything for me - email dog-foster-placement@austinpetsalive.org to be that person!

Bring Home the Best Kind of Pillow—The Kind That Loves You Back Pillow is a sweet, silly soul who has been waiting a long time for someone to see just how special he is. He’s smart, attentive, and deeply people-oriented — the kind of dog who listens closely, tries hard, and wants nothing more than to share his days with someone who cares. During his breaks from the shelter, he’s proven to be an exceptional house guest: calm, respectful, and happy to curl up nearby just to be part of your world. He loves the simple joys of being a dog — fetch in the yard, sniffy walks, squeaky toys, and showing off tricks for treats (cheese is his weakness). After a bit of play, he’s all about belly rubs and quiet cuddle time. Pillow thrives on routine and blossoms when he knows what to expect, and he’s making wonderful progress in APA’s Top Dog program. He walks well on leash, is house-trained, and gets easier to handle every day. Pillow would do best in an adult-only home or one with older teens who understand his need for structure and gentle guidance. He has so much love to give, and he’s ready for a home where he can finally settle in, exhale, and feel like he belongs. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a big heart, a silly streak, and a deep desire to bond with his people, Pillow might be the perfect match you’ve been searching for. Pillow absolutely shines in a home where he can feel secure, follow a predictable routine, and be part of the family. He’s been a perfect gentleman on his shelter breaks and sleepovers — calm, polite, and an excellent house guest. Ask about Pillow today! Whether you’re considering fostering or adopting, Pillow is ready to bring his goofy grin and loving heart into your home.

Story
2/13/2026 Nova III is an owner surrender looking for a new home. Hi! My name is Nova! I am a beautiful 1 year old white boxer girl that is an owner surrender due to my family not having room for me. I am an active girl that also happens to be deaf but don't let that shy you away! It is said that I live with and get along with other dogs! I also live with 3 kids (ages 6-18 years) and am good with them! I have never lived with a cat so it is uncertain if I am feline friendly. I am crate trained but will find a way out of it if able. I am a young girl and learning, but I will need assistance with house training in my forever home. At night I sleep in a kennel and when the humans must be away, I am good outside but do not like being left alone inside. When outside I am curious what is under the grass and will dig to find out. During my time outdoors it is important for me to have proper supervision because I can not hear cars coming or potential danger. I do not like being alone or in my kennel for a long time but I do love riding in the car, digging, chewing on toys, being around other dogs, and people! If you think I would make a great addition to your home, contact the rescue today and give them my name because I am waiting to meet you!  ##2657224##

6/26/2026 Dozer V is an owner surrender looking for a new home. Hi! Our names are Diesel X and Dozer V! We are handsome 1 year old fawn boys that are owner surrenders due to being found at a cemetary and have been cared for by the people that found us. Unfortunately they live on a farm and we do not get along with farm animals and need to find our own forever home. We are bonded and need to be adopted together which means double the boxer love! We are described as friendly, shy, and nervous! We currently live with 5 other dogs and although we get along with most, we do resource guard our food and have not gotten along with another dog. This could be an indicator we would do best as only dogs in the home. We currently live with cats and will bark at them, so a cat free home may also be best. There are children in our home and we are said to be kid friendly! We are house trained, crate trained, and at night we sleep outside. If the humans must be away, we are kept outside and do fine unless we are able to escape, which we do. When outside we do not dig but are able to jump kiddie gates/fences. We are very skittish but our caretakers say we are sweet and with someone who has the time and patience, we can be very well trained boys. If you think we would be a great addition to your family, contact the rescue today and give them our names because we are waiting to meet you! ##2770572##
