Meet Pepper, a spirited and loving female dog who's ready to add a dash of spice to your life! This brave and curious girl is always up for an adventure, whether it's exploring the great outdoors or zooming around the yard with her crazy happy zoomies. But don't be fooled by her playful nature. Pepper is also an intelligent and affectionate companion, loyal to those she loves and always ready for a good cuddle. Pepper, or Pihu, as she's affectionately known, is a true judge of character. Quiet, hardly barks unless she feels the need and has always been respectful to property, not destructive. She may seem shy at first, but once she feels safe, she'll open up and show you her playful side, showering you with kisses and following you wherever you go. She's the perfect mix of independence and devotion, content to entertain herself with a bone or toy but always happy to be by your side. A medium energy gal, who recently showed how affectionate she is with a new baby in the home.. She was recently tested in home with a new visitor to see her reaction toward visitor while baby was near. She passed with flying colors, no aggression or resource guarding of the baby. Pepper loves her daily walks and is always up for a game of fetch. She's a quick learner and a total professional when left alone, but be prepared for an enthusiastic greeting when you return - she just can't contain her excitement! Pepper is dog selective, good with smaller, low-key or submissive dogs (after slow, proper introduction). She's adaptable and easy-going, fitting into either a quiet or active household as long as she gets her daily dose of play and snuggles. She's a low-maintenance dream, as any 2.5 year old, she knows commands and will mostly follow them but ongoing training is always recommended. Fill out an application today and take the first step towards welcoming this wonderful girl into your heart and home. From her Foster in Austin, TX: She is a lovely little girl who deserves a lovely family. Available for Adoption in the Austin, Texas area.

Story
Howdy, y'all! It's me, Diesel, the ultimate Texas gentle dog. I'm a big ol' mix of Pit Bull Terrier, German Shepard, and Dumbo ears, serving looks and love in the Austin area. Let's get down to business: I'm a playful pup with a heart as big as this beautiful state, and I'm always up for a good time. My idea of a perfect day involves outdoor adventures, especially if there's water involved. I'm talkin' swimmin', splashin', and maybe even a little boat ride if you're feelin' fancy. But don't let my rugged good looks fool ya, I'm a sensitive soul who loves nothin' more than a good snuggle at the end of the day. In my two and 1/2 years on this earth, I've learned a thing or two. I'm crate trained, great on a leash, and I have excellent recall. I'm also a pro at giving kisses and catchin' balls. Oh, and did I mention I'm dog-friendly? I just love makin' new friends, both human and canine. I'm a people person, err, dog, and get along swimmingly with older kids, too. So, if you're lookin' for a loyal companion to join you on all your Texas-sized adventures, I'm your hound. I promise to keep you entertained, show you all the best swim. Currently being fostered in Austin Texas.

Story
Gonzo is a trail-loving, cuddle-ready sweetheart who’s been patiently waiting for his forever home—and he just might be the perfect match for you. This outdoor enthusiast is a proud member of the Rufftail Runners, an elite crew of shelter dogs with excellent leash manners. He’s also been attending TOP/CGC training classes, so his basic obedience is rock solid. Whether you're hiking the greenbelt or strolling through the neighborhood, Gonzo is ready to be by your side. But don’t let his rugged side fool you—Gonzo is just as happy curled up on the couch with his favorite people. He loves being around people, settles easily at home, and is always happy to soak up affection. Gonzo does great with children and can coexist peacefully with large dogs and cats, making him a fantastic addition to many kinds of families. Despite his amazing qualities, Gonzo has been waiting far too long for his forever home. Could you be the one to finally change his story?

Truvy is an adorable little bean and a certified girl’s girl. She loves the girls, is always down for a little dress-up moment, and make up, hence her photos. Men are cool too but give this girl some girl time and she’s in her element.She’s still settling into foster care, so we’re learning more about her every day, but her sweet little personality is already starting to come out. She’s curious, affectionate, and has just the right amount of sass packed into one tiny body.We can’t wait to see more of Truvy as she gets comfortable and shows us exactly who she is. For now, we know one thing for sure: she came prepared to be someone’s very spoiled little bestie.

Honey is an affectionate and gentle girl. She may be a little shy around new people at first, but with time and patience, she gradually warms up and becomes more comfortable. Once she gets to know you, her sweet and loving nature truly shines. She adores snuggling and will happily curl up beside you. She’s also really shy around other dogs. She needs some time to adjust.

Story
9/10/2026 Tuna II is an owner surrender looking for a new home. Hi! My name is Tuna II! I am a beautiful 1.5 year old white boxer girl that is an owner surrender due to not getting along with the other dog in the home and for everyone's safety, I need to be the only dog in the home. I am described as active, protective, and nervous! I currently live with kids that are ages 18 and up. I have had exposure to cats and will intensely watch them, so it's best if I live in a cat free home. I am still young and will need continuing assistance with house training and crate training in my forever home. I eat Fresh Pet and Pure Balance dog food and sleep with the humans in their bed at night. If the humans must be away and I am left alone, I will get into things I shouldn't. I am afraid of things that are unfamiliar to me. When outside I do not attempt to jump fences/gates but I am curious what is under the grass and will dig to find out. Some of my favorite things are riding in the car, balls, toy ropes, and pretty much everything! If you think I would make a great addition to your family and are patient and willing to help me learn to be the best girl, contact the rescue today and give them my name because I am waiting to meet you!  ##2839125##

Story
Hi! My name is Ebba! I am a beautiful 10 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! If you're interested in fostering a dog, please fill out the Foster Application   https://austinboxerrescue.com/ways-to-help/foster/     If you're interested in adopting a dog, please fill out the Adoption Application  http://austinboxerrescue.com/adoption-application/ Our volunteers will work with you to find the best dog for your home. ##2088032##
