Story
Spongey arrived to TJO with lots of matting, so much so that he almost resembled a certain sea creature from Bikini Bottom. Once freed from all the stuck together hair, Spongey settled in and started relaxing. He does best in a quiet environment that allows him to enjoy the benefits of frequent naps so he can continue to be playful.OTHER PETS: Spongey is interested in other dogs and has invited play with another older dog. His best fit would likely be with another older dog who is social with a similar play style (not too rambunctious). As with all our dogs, Spongey should meet any dogs he would be living with prior to adoption. [Case by Case (Must Meet First)]OWNER EXPERIENCE: [First Dog] Experience or willingness to learn the benefits of positive reinforcement. KIDS: Spongey is comfortable with handling and has not exhibited resource guarding while at the shelter, he flourished in a quiet space in the kennel and wold do best in a quiet home. Any minor humans should meet Spongey prior to adoption. [Case by Case (Must Meet First)] ACTIVITY LEVEL: Spongey enjoys laying in bed, rolling around in his bed, and playing with various toys. As he feels better is becoming more active and curious about the environment. He is the quintessential old man who refuses to stop playing, even if he can't play as much as he used to when he was younger. He's affectionate when he is comfortable and enjoys being social. Mental enrichment (play, food puzzles, games) will help meet his nees. [Couch Potato] VETERINARY CARE: Spongey will need a good relationship with a vet with bi-annual check-ups to ensure that he has a good quality of life as he continues to age. He is currently in need of a dental that TJO will provide. [Above Average] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement training will help Spongey bond with his new owner as well as help him learn new skills and tricks to keep his mind active. [Minimal] GROOMING: Regular brushing will keep Spongey's coat clean and matt-free between grooms, he should be groomed every 6 -8 weeks. [Professional Grooming] December 1, 2025, 9:54 am

Story
Hercules lives up to his name — strong, loyal, and fiercely devoted to the one he loves most. This handsome pup forms deep bonds with his person and thrives in a calm, one-on-one environment where he can truly shine.Due to his protective nature, Hercules needs a home with a single adult owner who understands dog behavior and can provide firm, consistent guidance. He becomes very attached to his person and may act defensively around strangers or other animals. But once he trusts you, you’ll have a loving, loyal companion who’s always by your side.Hercules would do best in a quiet home without a lot of visitors or chaos. He’s smart, trainable, and eager to please — he just needs the right environment to feel safe and thrive. No apartments or condos

Story
Meet Aries. This wild and crazy but sweet and affectionate, six month old larger size Shih Tzu mix pup is now available for adoption. He is only six months old, but he's spent most of his life confined to a crate. He never had the experiences of running, playing and getting all this puppy energy out. He also had no puppy training. Now that he is at the rescue, he is learning. He is doing very very well now with his potty training, but he still needs to learn som puppy manners like no jumping, no taking food off the table, no barking, etc. but he is just a baby and with proper structure, discipline and love, he is going to be an amazing pup. He is such a happy, happy soul and just loves running and playing with his toys and rumbling and tumbling with the other young dogs here. We strongly advise a fenced in yard where he can get out and burn up some of this energy. For the same reason, he may not do well with kitties. His high energy and longing to play may intimidate them. Aries is approximately six months old and weighs18 pounds. This guy is really adorable and we'd love to see him go with an experienced person that can teach him to be a well-behaved pup and give him a loving home that he so deserves. He is neutered, healthy, has his distemper and rabies vaccinations and micro chipped. PS. Pardon his bad hair day. He was having too much fun playing today to worry about looking pretty. Please visit our website at https://sites.google.com/view/muddymoosemutts/home or email pawrescued2016@gmail.com for an application. His adoption fee is $575.

✨ Introducing Skyla’s Charmling Girls! ✨ That’s right — it’s girl power with this adorable crew of seven little ladies! These cuties are now available for pre-adoption. Skyla’s girls are 4-week-old Shih Tzu mixes, each weighing about 1 pound of pure sweetness. In the beginning, this little family needed extra help — the puppies were supported by a wonderful bottle feeder and even received nursing help from another amazing mama dog, ABCDE, so that Skyla could rest and regain her strength. Thanks to all that love and teamwork, everyone is now thriving. Their foster family has been fantastic about early socialization and gentle handling, so these pups are already getting used to people, cuddles, and everyday life. If you’re ready to reserve one of these tiny charmers, now’s the time! 💕🐶 Apply to pre-adopt today! Puppies are only available for local adoption in the San Antonio area.
