Meet Whiskey, URGENT SWEET BOY NEEDS A GERO AND A SECOND CHANCE! WHISKEY (A418812) ** Whiskey was previously adopted and is back with us due to not being well cared for.

He is a good looking fella who is ready to steal your heart with his sweet doggy charm. Whiskey is a neutered Akita mix. He weighs 56 pounds and is heartworm negative. They noted Whiskey is good with other dogs and kids of all ages. He does not care for cats. They say he is house and crate trained and is an indoor dog. He enjoys going on walks, car rides, and playing with toys. He loves treats, and playing with hard chew toys. Whiskey hangs out at his kennel door. He likes to greet you with tail wags and occasionally a friendly bark. It's just his way of saying come see me and take me home. He is pretty calm inside and out of his kennel. He lays right at the front of his kennel door waiting for you to stop and say hello. Whiskey has good leash manners, he walked right along beside me and was easy to walk. As you can see he was a good model for his pics and was happy and well behaved. Whiskey took treats gently and he gave kisses to say thank you. He a friendly guy and he enjoys your company. All he wants out of life is to have a family to love, a yard to play in, and plenty of love and attention! PLEASE HELP THIS SWEET BOY TEXT KAREN 4136298152

Story
- Like my name implies, I am a high octane guy looking for an active household- I`m very food motivated and easy to train, but just need consistency and structure- I can have dog friends/playdates, but I would prefer to live without other animals since I don`t like to share my items with them- I am working on my house training, but making progress!- I am excited to go out on leash walks and adventures with my humans, and am working on my impulsive tendencies while outside. What can I say, I just love to be doing fun things with you! Dogs: Not to live with, but can have playdatesCats: NoKids: Teens+Weight: 52 lbs.

Story
Sean Connery is a 6-month-old, 35 lb, neutered male Pitbull mix (DOB 5/23/25), expected to be a larger adult once fully grown. He has adorable speckled paws and a speckled chest that make him even more striking and unique. He is in the foster home where he was born in Houston, Texas, and can transport to the Petfinder-listed city once an adopter has completed our screening process, virtual home visit, and reference checks. Charming, confident, and full of heart — just like his namesake! Sean Connery is a sweet, social puppy who loves to play with his siblings (but not in an over-the-top way). He’s affectionate, loves giving kisses, and enjoys being near his people. While he can be nervous at first, he warms up quickly with gentle introductions and reassurance. Sean hasn’t been around children yet, but we expect he will do well with kids who are respectful of a dog’s boundaries. We have no history with cats. Sean has been introduced to a crate and is working on his potty training routine. He’s a smart, eager-to-please boy already showing great obedience for his age, but like all puppies, he’ll need continued guidance as he grows — leash walking, manners, and a consistent daily routine will help him thrive. Because he’s still so young, we’re looking for a home where someone is home more often than they are away — puppies truly flourish with time, structure, and companionship. He’s great with other dogs and enjoys having canine friends around. If you’re ready for puppy breath, snuggles, and the joy (and occasional chaos!) of raising a wonderful dog, Sean Connery just might be your perfect match. __ ***Listed BREED and AGE - We are taking our best guess & recommendations from our veterinarian on age, breed and size when fully grown.

Story
Duke, 8 months old, neutered male, Terrier mix, currently weighs 32 pounds and expected to be medium size when full grown. He is in a foster home in SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS and is able to transport to a city listed on Petfinder once approved. Please note our process starts with an application. If we think you might be a good fit, we will reach out to coordinate a phone interview. This is followed by a video call with the foster home. Virtual home visit, personal and vet reference checks are required to complete the process. Transport is included in our adoption donation. Meet Duke — a long-legged, lively pup who was rescued from a shelter in San Antonio, Texas! Duke is full of puppy energy and curiosity. He loves to run, explore, and play with other dogs. Those legs of his don’t just make him handsome — they give him an extra boost when he jumps (and he knows it!). He’s still working through some typical puppy nippiness, but he’s eager to learn and respond to guidance. Duke is house and crate trained and currently weighs about 32 pounds, with some growing left to do. We expect him to remain a medium-sized dog when full grown. We don’t have any history with cats or children, so proper introductions and supervision would be important if his future home includes either. Because Duke is still under a year old, he’ll thrive in a home where someone is around more often than not. If you work outside the home, please include in your application how Duke will have interaction, playtime, and potty breaks during the day — applications without this information will not be processed. Duke is ready to stretch those long legs in his forever home — could it be with you? ? ***Listed BREED and AGE - We are taking our best guess & recommendations from our veterinarian on age, breed and size when fully grown.
