Story
Meet Venancio! 🐾💙 2.5 years old | 15 pounds | Shih Tzu/Schnauzer mix Venancio is an easygoing, lovable little guy with a heart as soft as his fluffy coat. Friendly with everyone he meets, he gets along beautifully with dogs of all sizes and would especially love a home with a playful canine buddy to keep him company. This sweet boy is happiest when he’s curled up next to his person on the couch, soaking in snuggles and affection — but don’t let that fool you! He’s always ready to hop up for a walk, a car ride, or whatever adventure the day brings. His calm, adaptable nature makes him a wonderful companion for many different lifestyles. Venancio is also good with cats and has lovely manners. He’s still working on house training, but he’s making progress and doesn’t mind wearing a belly band while he learns. If you’re looking for a gentle, affectionate sidekick who will be your cuddle buddy, walking partner, and loyal friend all in one, Venancio is ready to meet you.

Story
Matcha — A Little Fighter With a Big Heart Matcha came to us from Laredo, Texas, after being given to one of our street rescuers. She arrived matted from head to toe and had to be shaved down for her comfort and health. As her coat grows back, she’ll benefit from professional grooming to help her feel her best again. She’s a Shih Tzu–Dachshund mix with a rough beginning, but you’d never know it from her spirit. Matcha is a super sweet girl, gentle, loving, and so grateful for every bit of kindness she receives. She’s ready to leave her past behind and start fresh with a family who will cherish her. Matcha has all the makings of a wonderful companion — she just needs someone to give her the chance she’s been waiting for. Matcha is located in Hondo, Texas She is CHAGAS and heartworm negative.

Story
Please contact Joanie (hchappytales@aol.com) for more information about this pet. Please apply online at http://texasgreatdane.org/adoption-application/       ** This dog is in a foster home in San Antonio, TX. Prospective adopters must be able to travel to San Antonio to complete the adoption process.  Please apply online at http://texasgreatdane.org/adoption-application/ ** Mia Mama is an adorable 2-year-old Shih Tzu (possibly schnauzer) mix who weighs approximately 11 pounds. She came to us very skinny, (with 2-week-old puppies who were also starving).  After getting a good diet (and love and comfort), she started showing how cute, fun and loving she is.  Mia is potty trained (and can use a dog door).  She loves to be held and to cuddle next to you at night.  She also loves to play and do 'zoomies'.  She is sensitive to perfume, and other types of smells, so cannot go to a home with someone who wants those scents filling their home. Please understand you are committing to providing a good home for her entire life (up to 15+ years or more.) You must be committed to housebreaking, age-appropriate enrichment and exercise, leash training, grooming needs, and positive socialization. Her adoption fee is $250. This includes her spay surgery, rabies vaccination, Nobivac® Canine 1-DAPP vaccination, Nobivac® Intra-Trac 3 vaccination, Drontal® Plus, IDEXX SNAP® 4Dx Plus Test, Tri-Heart® Plus chewable tablet, 24PetWatch® microchip, and leash and collar. Please be aware that puppies and small breed dogs do get adopted quickly so interested parties are encouraged to apply online at www.saspca.org. Please ensure your application is complete before submitting. We do verify property ownership, landlord references, apartment/HOA restrictions, veterinary references, and criminal histories. Our adoption events are every other Saturday at Petco located in the Northwoods Shopping Center at 18138 San Pedro Ave, San Antonio TX 78232.  Event hours are 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Additional questions may be directed to sagdinfo@gmail.com. ** This dog is in a foster home in San Antonio, TX. Prospective adopters must be able to travel to San Antonio to complete the adoption process.  Please apply online at http://texasgreatdane.org/adoption-application/ **  - IMPORTANT INFORMATION -   SASPCA Homeward Bound Dog Rescue and San Antonio Great Dane Rescue are 501(c)(3) foster-based rescue groups based in San Antonio, Texas.    Our group focuses on assisting open admission shelters in South Texas where over 32,000 dogs and cats are euthanized each year.   Our puppies and dogs are completely vetted and live in foster homes. They are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, and tested for heartworm disease. All adoptions include one month of flea and heartworm preventative and a leash and collar.   We also host additional adoption events throughout the year.  Please visit our Facebook pages for the most current event schedules.   https://m.facebook.com/HomewardBoundDogRescue/?tsid=0.11494693985281179&source=typeahead   https://m.facebook.com/profile.php?id=185497084826453&tsid=0.7626298417270982&source=typeahead     If your adoption application is approved and you are traveling from out-of-town, we hold your chosen pet for one hour past the event start time to allow for travel time.     We are an all-volunteer organization and do not currently have the resources to process out-of-state adoptions.     Our puppies, purebred dogs, and small breed dogs do get adopted quickly so we encourage interested parties to apply online.   Please apply here:   http://texasgreatdane.org/adoption-application/   February 13, 2026, 6:41 pm
