Story
Meet Toffee (brindle) and Heath (white), a bonded pair of one-and-a-half-year-old Catahoula mix brothers with an unshakable connection. These two grew up side by side and have been inseparable ever since. Toffee is hearing-impaired and looks to Heath as his guide and emotional support, while Heath takes that role to heart, always looking out for his brother. Both boys are friendly and affectionate, though they can be a bit timid in new situations. Once they warm up, their personalities shine—Heath is the energetic social butterfly, always ready for playtime or a walk, and Toffee brings a gentle, calming presence with his sweet, soulful eyes. They love running and playing together, whether it’s chasing each other around the yard or stretching out in the grass for a good nap. Their bond makes them the perfect team—Heath gives Toffee confidence, and Toffee keeps Heath grounded. They’re looking for a home that will embrace their unique connection and give them both the love, patience, and space to thrive. With Toffee and Heath, you’re not just adopting dogs—you’re gaining a loyal duo that will fill your life with double the love and twice the tail wags.

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
We rescued Levi from the Austin Humane Society when he was just one month old. He is now 4 years old and has been a huge part of our family ever since. He’s gone everywhere with us and is truly one of the most loving, people-oriented dogs you could meet. Unfortunately, after welcoming our newborn daughter, we discovered she has severe skin sensitivities and allergies that seem to be significantly irritated by Levi’s hair. We’ve tried creams, allergy treatments, and multiple solutions, but nothing has worked enough for everyone to comfortably coexist. Because of this, we are looking to rehome Levi to a loving family that can give him the attention and affection he deserves. Levi is extremely affectionate, loves being around people, and is a total cuddle dog. He’s very relaxed around the house, fully house trained, and has a great temperament. As long as he gets his daily walks and exercise, he is an incredibly easy dog to live with.

Story
Meet Sadie, a sweet 7 year old, 35 lb Whippet mix who is ready to be someone’s loyal shadow. She is current on shots, spayed, microchipped, and heartworm negative. She was sadly surrendered to the shelter due to her prior owner’s health. She’s a gentle, laid back girl who loves being close to her people, with short bursts of playful energy where she’ll zoom happily around the yard. She enjoys carrying a ball as she wanders around outside, walks beautifully on leash, and is an easy, relaxed passenger on car rides. At night, she sleeps soundly in bed and loves the comfort of being near her person.Sadie thrives on companionship, so she would do best with someone who is home most of the time. She thrives as the only pet and requires a cat-free home where she can soak up all the love and attention. She is currently in a home with multiple small dogs, but because she craves one-on-one attention from her humans, she would be best suited as an only dog or a home with fewer, low-key canine companions.If you’re looking for a loyal, mellow companion with a fun, playful streak, Sadie might be the perfect match.Her adoption fee is $165.If you are interested in this sweet girl, copy this link into your browser and submit your application today: https://form.jotform.com/201527297286058

Story
Eel is a stunning brown beauty with a heart of gold. This intelligent and gentle soul is seeking a peaceful haven to call her own. A lover of quiet moments and gentle companionship, Eel is looking for a special someone who can appreciate her calm demeanor and desire for a tranquil life. Eel is a loyal companion who forms deep bonds with her humans. Once she trusts you, her devotion is unwavering. She's looking for a patient and understanding adopter who can provide her with the love, training, and quiet environment she deserves. She has also lived with cats in a previous home! She's a quick learner with a passion for mental stimulation. Currently working with a private trainer, Eel is already mastering commands like sit, down, shake, and place. Her exceptional recall and ability to pick up new tricks quickly make her a joy to train. Imagine the thrill of teaching her new skills and watching her confidence grow! She recently sent the following letter back to us to update us on her progress and wanted to share it with her future family: "I’ve had the opportunity to receive training beyond the APA! walls and am currently living in the Houston area. I like to think of it as “studying abroad!” I’ve received some one-on-one attention from my trainer friend at Gray Wolf Canine Rehabilitation who has helped me further work through some challenges. Now with some extra coursework, I’m ready to graduate out of the sheltering system and into an adoptive home! And as soon as I find a home, my spot at Gray Wolf gives another dog just like me a chance to broaden their horizons! I’ve been working on my dog socialization skills, leash skills, and trust-building with humans. I used to have a hard time meeting new people and getting easily overstimulated, but these days, I’m more centered, confident, and at ease. I’ve been successfully introduced to many different personalities and environments, and now I look to my handler/person for guidance and direction so that our experiences stay positive. My true spunky and fun personality, after decompressing outside of a busy shelter, has really come out!" If you're seeking a sophisticated and intelligent companion who loves to learn and explore, Eel might be the perfect match for you. And if you'd like to read more about the one-on-one attention Eel is getting from her trainer friend at Gray Wolf Canine Rehabilitation head to this blog: https://www.austinpetsalive.org/blog/thinking-outside-the-shelter-walls-to-support-dogs-in-need

Story
Spicing up the world with her quiet resilience, a handsome dog named Nutmeg is ready to bring a touch of warmth to a patient home. She stands out immediately with her gorgeous, richly textured coat of reddish-brown and dark brindle swirls, paired with highly expressive, semi-pricked ears that turn attentively toward every new sound. Arriving as a brave survivor during the 2026 Texas floods, this sweet girl is learning to navigate life with a beautiful blend of caution and curiosity. While the bustling shelter environment can cause her to feel quite nervous, her true, bright personality shines through during quiet field trips to local parks. As she explores fresh air and grassy spaces, her natural intelligence and sweet curiosity take over, helping her overcome her initial hesitation. She is remarkably smart and exceptionally food-motivated, showing a keen interest in tasty treats that help build her confidence in new situations. Caretakers note that she is incredibly brave, often choosing to step out of her comfort zone to gently approach people for affection. She benefits greatly from a slow, careful approach, rewards patience by opening up fairly quickly, and shows a deeply companionable nature once she feels safe. A calm, predictable household is exactly what this good-natured girl needs to truly blossom. Come down and meet Nutmeg to bring a lifetime of quiet devotion into your home today.
