Bugsy

Whippet

Male, 5 yrs 4 mos
Austin, TX
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Bugsy is a joyful little whippet with a big personality packed into his sleek, white coat. This smart and affectionate boy loves nothing more than being close to his people—whether he’s curled up for a cozy cuddle or showing off how quickly he can learn a new trick. When Bugsy isn’t snuggled up, you’ll usually find him sprinting across the yard or eagerly chasing after his favorite toy. Fetch is his absolute favorite game, and with his lightning-fast whippet legs, he’s always ready for “just one more throw.” Sweet, playful, and incredibly bright, Bugsy brings energy, laughter, and plenty of warm snuggles wherever he goes.

Story
Mango Lassi: A Sweet Blend of Heart and Hope Mango Lassi looks like a Whippet/Hound mix, with a sleek black coat and a hint of white on her chest and paws. Just like the sweet drink she’s named after, she’s a gentle, comforting presence with a little extra warmth mixed in. She came to us when another shelter ran out of space. They described her as incredibly sweet and gentle, with not a mean bone in her body. She can be nervous around new people and unfamiliar situations, but her sensitivity comes from a tender heart—not aggression. She tends to hang back and quietly observe, especially in new settings, and seems to do well with other dogs, finding comfort in their presence. Though she’s a young dog with some puppy-like energy and curiosity, Mango Lassi also has a soft, thoughtful side. With time, patience, and a calm environment, she has so much potential to blossom and form a deep bond with her person. If you’re ready to offer reassurance, kindness, and a fresh start, consider opening your home to Mango Lassi. Apply to adopt or foster and give this sweet girl the chance to truly shine.

Hello there! I’m Zoe, an adorable 11-year-old pup with a heart full of love and a spirit that’s still a bit spunky! I came into the shelter after my owner sadly passed away, and now I'm looking for my forever home.These days, I’m living it up with two other dog friends, and I fit in just perfectly! I absolutely adore people and am always ready for my daily strolls around the neighborhood. You’ll often find me stopping to greet everyone I meet—head scratches and belly rubs are my favorite!I’ve got a curious side, too! I love observing squirrels and cats as they scurry by, and I still enjoy a good game of chase with a ball.I may be a senior gal, but I’m young at heart and ready to share my love with my forever family. I’m looking for a home, preferably with another dog sibling, as I truly enjoy the company of my doggie friends! If you're on the hunt for a loving companion who will bring joy and laughter to your life, I might just be the girl for you! Feel free to reach out to my foster mom - she'd be happy to share more about me. Primary Color: Brown Brindle Weight: 36 Age: 11yrs 3mths 0wks

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
