Story
This sweet snuggle girl is looking for her forever home! She loves to go for short walks & be with her people. When meeting strangers for the first time, she will climb right into their lap asking for pets and scratches. We don't think she's a great guard dog. But guard your heart as she will steal it with her sweet puppy dog eyes. Ellie doesn't play with toys much, as she would rather have belly rubs and booty scratches. She's an independent girl and likes to do her own thing. When outside she sniffs around and trots here and there. Ellie isn't super althletic and really just requires a comfy couch, pets, and a short walk here and there. We think she's more of a Netflix and chill sort of gal. She's dog selective & we recommend a meet & greet with any dog that will be living with her. She has been exposed to cats & is good with them. Ellie has also been around children & enjoys their company. She is spayed, fully vaccinated, heartworm negative, & on preventatives. She is being fostered in Seguin, TX. 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. You can text unlimited questions to Petcademy and they'll respond within 24 hours (Monday-Friday).

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
This handsome man is Jake Gyllenpaws. Jake is a real model and is good at stealing hearts with his good looks. His foster mom says Jake has the "model look to him. He lays down and when you stop petting him, he looks back at you with "Blue Steel." Of course, this look often ends with more pets and kisses for the sweet boy. How could you not just love all over this boy? Jake loves to cuddle on the couch and be by your side soaking up all the love. After being stuck in the shelter, Jake has been working so hard on his doggie manners and wants to show you how far he's come. He can sit, lie down, and has been working on learning to stay. He is potty trained and loves to be outside in a yard with his family. He doesn't much care for the crate, but his foster family is committed to showing him it can be a pawsitive place. Jake is a gentle boy and sensitive. After his last vet visit, he looked quite sad, so his foster mom took him to get a pup-cup and it made him very happy again. Jake will require continued spoiling and love, as he deserves the best. Jake is living with 2 other dogs in his foster family and loves having play mates. They get along very well outside of treat time. Jake would prefer not to share. It's likely best to feed Jake separately from other resident dogs since he's still learning that sharing is caring. This Jake Gyllenpaws isn't a fan of cats. A home without felines is best for him. Jake is a velco boy and loves to be with his family. His human foster brother is turning out to be his best friend. Jake is learning to be gentle with him because he gets so excited when he sees him. Although Jake hasn't met any smaller children, we think he would do well with kids over 10. He does like the zoomies and with his zest for life, he may knock over the smaller ones trying to play. Sweet Jake is a real lap dog at heart and loves being by your side. If you're looking for an energetic and loving pup to join your family, Jake Gyllenpaws could be the perfect match for you! 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. You can text unlimited questions to Petcademy and they'll respond within 24 hours (Monday-Friday). We only adopt in the USA. We are open to adopting in other states, except in Massachusetts.

Story
Meet Tommy Paw Jones, the resilient and heartwarming three-and-a-half-year-old rescue dog who has captured the hearts of everyone he meets. Tommy's journey began in adversity, arriving at the rescue with a heartworm-positive diagnosis and a crushed leg that had to be amputated. But his indomitable spirit shone through, inspiring everyone around him with his courage and determination. One of Tommy's most endearing qualities is his love for other dogs. He adores the company of his canine companions and finds immense joy in their presence. While he is friendly and affectionate, a meet and greet is recommended to ensure a harmonious introduction to his new furry friends. Tommy is a nature enthusiast at heart; he finds solace and happiness in the great outdoors. His favorite pastimes include chasing squirrels and playing with his dog buddies in the open air. He revels in the feeling of soft rugs and carpets under his paws, making them his preferred spots for lounging and walking. Tommy has a unique way of expressing his affection: he loves going between your legs, a heartwarming gesture that showcases his boundless love. He eagerly greets his family at the door, his eyes lighting up with excitement whenever they return. One of Tommy's favorite activities is snuggling on the couch. There, he finds comfort and warmth in the embrace of his family, reminding them of the incredible bond they share. Although Tommy is a bundle of love and joy, there are a few things he's not particularly fond of. Car rides make him uneasy, and he prefers to avoid doorways, perhaps a remnant of his past experiences. Despite these minor quirks, Tommy's loving nature far outweighs any reservations he might have. Tommy's story is one of triumph over adversity, a tale that exemplifies the transformative power of love, compassion, and second chances. Adopting Tommy means welcoming not just a pet but a resilient soul who will fill your life with unconditional love and endless joy. He is house trained, microchipped, fully vaccinated, & neutered. He is being fostered in San Antonio, TX and is ready for his new home. To see more pictures and videos, copy and paste this link.

Tina is a 1.5yr old Staffi that came into the shelter as a stray and was saved from euthanasia by our rescue. She loves to play and give kisses.

Buster's foster mom could NOT say enough about how great he is. He gets along with everyone he meets and is dog friendly, but NO cats. Buster likes to romp and play with anyone willing. He is good on the leash and would make an great ESA for an adult. Although Buster is dog friendly, he has been through ALOT and we are looking for a 1 dog home or a home with only 1 other well mannered dog about his size so Buster can be the focus of the attention his previous owner neglected. He CANNOT be placed with cats or small dogs. Buster some how was chipped with 2 different Microchips so both will need to be registered. Please contact us with any questions.

This young man is only 1.5yrs old and just full of energy. He does not neurotic, but will need an outlet for his energy. Some walks a few days a week or games of fetch would do him good. He is a very sweet man and seems to be friendly with well mannered female dogs, but proper introduction would be needed. Walks fairly well on the leash and is learinig better leash manners and some basic obedience. An obedience class with his new owner would do him well with transitioning into his new home.

Roy is a wonderful dog! He's quiet and sweet and has a laid-back energy. Roy belongs to my son, but my son is headed to a sober living house where they will not allow Roy to go with him. He absolutely loves this dog, and it is breaking his heart that we have to look for a new home for him, but my son has to take care of himself first. Roy does have arthritis so he walks a little bit bow legged. He is definitely overweight because he can only do so much exercise. He does not have any incontinence issues, but he is a senior dog. I hope for him to go to a home where he can continue to relax and be loved for the next few years of his life.
