Story
Jake is a real love. He is truly a companion dog. He just loves people. In fact, his favorite is to sit in the kitchen while you cook. Everything is better when Jake's around. He was rescued from California and has rebounded magnificently. He gets along with all the other dogs at the rescue and loves horses. He follows them around the ranch just like the old Texas cowboys used to do. He is current on all his vaccinations and heartworm negative. He is a very gentle dog and great on the leash. Nature trail anyone? Give us a buzz and let us introduce you to our sweet boy, Jake.May 23, 2024, 3:59 pm

Story
We are just LOVING watching this velvety piglet get her shine back, and have you SEEN those gorgeous, impossibly amber eyes? To say she LOVES her humans is a HUGE understatement. DO NOT tell her that she is NOT a lap dog BonBon loves her food, LOVES a beef cheek, and loves a good nibble-kiss (human corncobs all around). She's okay to nap in her crate, getting the hang of her spa treatments, and is working hard on figuring out this 'indoor dog' thing.BonBon is super clever and such a smoosh; she's a true delight. She's all the squattiness that we love about these little piglets, so we'd prefer that she not need to manage a bunch of stairs in her new home.Otherwise, our puppy polar bear is ready to make herself right at home in some lucky person's heart just in time for Valentine's Day!Little girl does like to chase small animals, and her intentions are NOT pure if she catches them so, no cats or small animals for this girl, please Lovely girl is heartworm-positive, so she must stay close to our vets for his treatment.Don't worry; heartworm infection is way LESS scary than it sounds, and our team will provide all guidance for her care.

Story
**Before applying for Rambo, please understand that he needs a child-free, very low-traffic home and a family ready to take things at his pace and not push him to do anything before he is ready. A willingness to continue to work with his ABR-approved trainer is an absolute bonus.**Silky soft and seal-like, we can't get enough of the gorgeousness that is RamboHe's the ooiest, cartooniest caricature of a dog, and we can not get enough of THAT FACE He's got a tough name because he came from some sh*t, but little guy is all lover and ready for a soft couch, a warm lap, and some cozy snuggle times with his furever family. He's been through it, so he's understandably a little wary of the world and needs a family who understands that he needs compassion and patience to adjust to a new home and new setting. Thanks to the compassion and devotion of his foster family, though, Rambo is finally ready to feel fully trusting of humans. We are seeing him transition into a happier, better-adjusted dog. We understand that he may struggle once he moves into a new adopted home. Change can sometimes do that to dogs who are sensitive like Rambo, so its very important that anyone wanting to adopt Rambo be ready to give him the space, structure, and compassion he needs to thrive. But, once he settles in, watch out; They better have their cuddle pants on Rambo was 100% someone's once; he is potty trained and walks beautifully on a leash. He's okay in a crate and has fantastic house manners. Rambo won't be a match for a home with kids; loud noises and unpredictability are not for Rambo.Like his namesake, he just wants a good meal, a simple life, and a safe, loving home. Rambo is heartworm positive, so he does need to stay close to our vets for his treatment.BUT, never fear, heartworm infection is easily treated and will not recur with regular prevention.ABR will cover the cost of this treatment and provide all guidance for his appointments and aftercare.

Story
From a sad hospice bebe to a fun, hunky, fun boi, Edwin Evergreen is the reason we do what we do. We rescued a hydrocephalus boy who had days to live, but, thanks to the unwavering love of his epic foster and a whole pack of amazing doctors (and a bunch of $$ tahnks to our devoted donors), Edwin Evergreen is now a fun, leggy, bouncy boy who is now MIRACULOUSLY ready for his furever family. Edwin is young and fun, so we'd love for him to have his very own dog to romp with He's a typical puppy, so he's working on all his puppy things, so, needs a family willing to be patient while he learns to dogHe's a little bit vision-impaired, so he needs folks willing to meet him on his terms. So we think best if there are no littles in his furever home. Last one, as a tripod, Edwin will do best in a home without a bunch of stairs to manage We're so excited for Edwin to start his furever life. He is a special boy who deserves a super special family, and he's taking applications now.

Story
Every dog is special, but sometimes, there's a dog so extra special that we have to do everything in our power to give them a chance at the life they deserve.So, we begged and pleaded and juggled and planned, maybe we cried a little, and finally, Huey is ours. And, even though he's still settling and decompressing, we already know that we were RIGHT to think that this dog is SPECIAL. Foster mama describes him as a perfect companion. He's not barky, or jumpy, or grumpy.He's got a tail wag and a smile for every creature he's met.And, while he may not ever be a wrestle buddy, Huey will happily snooze with pups and will welcome them to join him in his mini low-key foot stomping zoomie sessions. We think this guy is gentle enough to live with kiddos of all ages, and he is, OF COURSE, perfectly potty-trained. Huey is ready to make some lucky family complete, apply now and cross your fingers that you've been good enough this year for Santa to bring you THE BEST early Christmas present Lovely Boi is heartworm-positive, so he must stay close to our vets for his treatment.Don't worry; heartworm infection is way LESS scary than it sounds, and our team will provide all guidance for his care.

Story
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. (https://www.austinpetsalive.org/blog/thinking-outside-the-shelter-walls-to-support-dogs-in-need). 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! What I've worked on at GWCR: I grew up in a loving home with a family surrounding me! Through no fault of my own, I landed in the shelter system, and became stuck. Over the last 3 years in the shelter, I developed separation anxiety when left alone and struggled to connect with the dog friends I used to play with. During my time at GWCR, I've become accustomed to spending time in the crate and developed a routine to manage my anxiety, practiced introductions to new dogs, and figured out my favorite enrichments and activities to keep me nurtured. All I need now is a caring home to take me in and keep me out of the shelter system forever! I would prefer a lower traffic home, but can be flexible with more management. I would enjoy living with the right dog friend, provided we get to meet first!

Story
Meet Pugsley! Pugsley is a 2-year-old bulldog/terrier mix bursting with charm, goofy energy, and an endless capacity for love. He’s the perfect match for an active family looking for a fun-loving, kid-friendly companion who thrives on adventure and connection. Pugsley is the ideal blend of playful enthusiasm and affectionate sweetness. He loves to run, play, and explore—whether he’s romping in the yard, joining you for long walks, or splashing in the water, one of his all-time favorite activities. He walks beautifully on a leash and brings enthusiasm to every outing, making him a wonderful walking or hiking buddy. At home, Pugsley is a delightful goofball. He’ll do an “alligator chomp” in the air to get your attention, spook himself with a trash bag blowing across the yard, or curl up next to you in the funniest positions. He is good with dogs of all sizes and enjoys having canine companions to play and relax with. Pugsley is incredibly loving and people-oriented. He’s fantastic with kids of all ages and quickly becomes a family favorite. He crates easily when no one is home and does best in a household with a yard and, ideally, another dog buddy. He would love to have a family that is home alot if he is the only dog. He is also cat friendly but may try to play with them. Pugsley is currently being fostered in a home in Seguin, TX. He gets anxious with car rides so he is available in Texas only. He loves sleeping in a bed with his family and sleeps soundly through the night. His quirks—like sleeping with his tongue sticking out and snoring softly—only make him more endearing. If you're seeking a joyful, affectionate, water-loving dog with tons of personality, Pugsley is ready to win your heart. To see more pictures and videos, copy and paste this link. To apply directly for Pugsley click the "Apply for Adoption" button. https://www.shelterluv.com/embed/animal/FODS-A-381 All our dogs come with 30 days of free post-adoption support through Petcademy.org. This benefit includes free access to Petcademy's team of trainers/behaviorists, as well as access to online materials that will help you settle your new family member into your home.

Hi! My name is Ebba! I am a beautiful 8 year old flashy fawn lady! No information is known about my history but I'm looking forward to my forever family now! I am energetic when I am first let out of my crate, but settle quickly. I am house trained, crate trained, and leash trained! I enjoy my evening walks and have been learning house rules and manners while settling nicely into daily routines. My foster home does not have kids so a proper introduction would be needed. I happily follow my foster mom around the house and am a world champion snuggler! I am an avid squirrel chaser and would chase them up the tree if I could, so I need to live in a cat free and small animal free home. Because I have a high prey drive with the squirrels, my foster mom doesn't leave me in the backyard unattended. I can be a bit bossy and protective so it would be best for me if I was the only dog in the home or paired with a passive male. If you are looking for a well mannered, snuggly lady, here I am! Contact the rescue today and give them my name because I am waiting to meet you!
