Hi, my name is Quincey and I would love to meet you. I have been at the shelter since Dec 08, 2023. I like to think I’m a pretty independent pup, but having a person to share life with is really all I want. I may sometimes think my idea or direction is the better one, and I may sometimes be right, but what’s important is that we get to figure it out together!

Story
Hi, my name is Zolo and I would love to meet you. I have been at the shelter since Oct 25, 2023. There’s no better place than cuddled up close to my human on the comfiest couch. I’m the kind of dog that enjoys an easy-going lifestyle. Movie marathons, binge-watching shows, designated nap times, and regular pets are some of my favorite activities to do with my people!“Play” is my middle name! Fetch, tug-of-war, frisbee – I’ve done my research and I love it all! Playing together and having fun, followed by curling up at your feet or on the couch would be my absolute ideal day.

Story
Hazel is one of the prettiest pitties in the PNW and she needs your help! Hazel 4 years young and has unfortunately injured her leg and is in dire need of TPLO surgery. She was set to be euthanized but we were able to pull her day of! The cost of the surgery is $3000, and we are organizing a fundraiser and raffle to gather funds for this sweet little girl! But that's not all! Hazel is also hoping to find a loving foster home while she recovers after her surgery. She is house trained, gets along well with other puppers and cats, and sleeps peacefully in her crate. Although she can get a bit nervous during car rides, she is an absolute love bug! RAFFLE ALERT! For every $5 donated to Hazel's fund, your name will be entered into a fabulous FI collar raffle! That's right, every $5 donated gives you another ticket in the bowl! You can donate to Hazel's fund through our Venmo or PayPal account with the username: fosterpaws. If you are unable to donate, we kindly ask that you share this post to help spread the word! Together, we can make a difference in Hazel's life! Thank you for joining us in this heartfelt mission to help Hazel. Your support means the world to us! Let's give this beautiful girl the chance she deserves!

Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Prepare for heart melting. Miss Ruby is a love bug and just wants to curl up on the couch and sneak kisses. When she is ready to chill out, she will go to her crate and make some zzzz’s. While home alone, she does well enclosed in crate for up to 5-6 hours. Play is her middle name, ball, fluffy, squeaky, or chewy, there is no toy she would deny. She loves a game of chase and therefore requires a fully fenced yard. Her daily walks are the highlight of her day. She does well on a leash, but she has shown that she is not ready to meet other dogs on her walks. She has some fear-aggression and goes into protective mode. For now, she keeps to her side of the sidewalk. Ruby is a great companion and an amazing dog, but she needs to be the only dog in the home. She currently resides with another female dog and recently has become aggressive towards her. She will do well with an experienced adopter that can one on one train her and help build her confidence.

APPLICATION LINK: https://shaynesrescue.com/adoption-application-pet-central-satx/ We must have an application to move forward. Happy is just that. Great with dogs and humans, we dont know about cats. Very friendly sweet and playful. He was dumped and a nice person found him and contacted us asking if we could save him. So many dogs in TX are dumped, Most horribly dont make it. Adoptions include neuter/spay, vaccinations (DHPP, Bordetella, Rabies), microchip, health certificate, transport with our professional dog transporter, and 6 mos of heart worm prevention. You can ask us about how pre-adoption works and our "trial period." If you have any questions or would like an e-mail from us as to how all of this works, text me (Terry); identify the dog's name and give me your email address... 210-394-6060. You can also go to our Facebook page... https://www.facebook.com/Pet-Central-SATX-866684826744181/ and LIKE us to help us out. After we review your application, we will contact you, and you'll have the opportunity to find out more from their foster family or the rescue. If you experience any issues filling out the application you can contact us directly at shaynerescue@gmail.com. This is ONLY if you have problems applying. If you have not applied, you will not receive a response so please only email if you have any issues applying. Adoption Fees The adoption fee includes transportation to WA/OR. All pups and dogs are fully vetted, spayed/neutered, microchipped, dewormed, have a negative heart worm test for all dogs over 6 months at time of transport, have a health certificate, and have all age-appropriate vaccinations. Some dogs/pups have additional medical, including but not limited to FHO, ACL, hernias, dental, and other vetting. All medical records will be provided to the adopter at the time they pick up their dog. HOW ABOUT FOSTERING! If you are not in the position to afford a puppy/dog but still want to be an important factor in dog rescue, we recommend fostering. Fostering ensures you incur no vet bills and no boarding fees while saving a life and enjoying the love of a canine companion. We are always in need of good fosters. You can sign up to foster at this link: https://shaynesrescue.com/foster-application/ This is a post on behalf of Pet Central SATX Rescue, headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, where there are over 350,000 homeless pets. We have hundreds of puppies/dogs available so there really is no need to apply anywhere else. Also, one application is good even if you are interested in several different dogs...one application no matter which one you choose. Thank you for choosing to adopt a rescue pup/dog. We firmly believe there is NO breed other than "rescue" for all species. Thank you for being part of the village it takes to save these precious lives.
