Story
Mousey is an adorable dog and will make a perfect family pet! She loves all other dogs and romps and plays all day at the ranch with many other breeds...kind of like a dog park in reverse. She came from a very high-kill shelter in California and had been dumped as a puppy in the hard streets of a high-crime area. She had one friend in the world, Sopita, who was also saved by Dogtown. When she first got to the ranch, she could not be separated from her friend, but she quickly found a hundred other buddies and learned that life can be a good thing after all. Mousey loves to play, chase a ball and also fun to cuddle. Please get in touch and meet our precious Mousey who wants a family to call her own.May 22, 2024, 5:48 am

Story
LaCroix may not see or hear the world the way we do, but he feels it in full. This sweet, resilient boy is both blind and mostly deaf, and he’s looking for a special person or family to help him navigate life with love, patience, and a little creativity. Despite his unique needs, LaCroix has the spirit of an explorer and the heart of a cuddlebug. Once he understands his surroundings, he settles into a routine beautifully and bonds deeply with the people who guide him with consistency and kindness. He responds well to gentle touch cues, learns spaces with a little help, and thrives in calm, structured environments. He'll do best in a home that’s safe, predictable, and filled with empathy—a place where he can feel secure and celebrated just as he is. LaCroix is a truly inspiring pup who reminds us that love doesn’t need to come with instructions—it just needs patience, understanding, and time. If you’re ready to be his guide through this world, he’ll reward you with trust, loyalty, and a connection that’s deeper than words. Ready to meet this extraordinary soul? LaCroix is waiting to show you that sometimes, the most beautiful things are the ones you feel with your heart.

Austin, TX
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Missio is a relationship kind of guy, a quietly thoughtful pup who forms strong bonds with his people given a little time and patience. He enjoys short walks but is just as happy lounging by your side. You’ll often find him stretched out in a sunny spot in the home or yard, soaking up the warmth. Calm and well-mannered, Missio did wonderfully being free-roam at home. He loves treats and training, already mastering cues like sit and place. One of his favorite games is guessing which hand is holding the treat. Once settled in, his playful side emerges with toys, zoomies, and his signature foot pats. He’ll lean against you for booty scritches and cuddles. Missio thrives on routine and is ready to share a calm, loving life with a special person. Could that be you?

Story
Kelloggs: Everyone’s Friend with Energy to Spare Kelloggs is new to us at APA and came from another shelter, so we’re still getting to know him. That said, the prior shelter shared some great details that already paint a happy picture of this social pup. Kelloggs is very friendly and seems determined to be everyone’s friend. He loves people, enjoys playtime, and brings an energetic, joyful vibe wherever he goes. Treats are a big motivator for him, and he’s happy to show off his manners by sitting politely for them. According to the prior shelter, Kelloggs has done well with other dogs he’s met and is comfortable making canine friends. His social nature and playful energy make him a great candidate for an active home that enjoys engagement, fun, and companionship. If you’re looking for a dog who’s outgoing, affectionate, and always ready to make new friends, Kelloggs may be the perfect match.

Story
Wonka is a sweet and easygoing puppy with a lovely mix of affection, playfulness, and calmness. He enjoys being near his people and happily comes when called, but he is just as content exploring the yard or playing with toys. He has a naturally relaxed energy that makes him easy to be around and a joy to share daily life with. He does well with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. He is polite in his play, happily engaging with dogs who want to play and giving space to those who do not. Cats are a bit intimidating to him, so he respectfully avoids them and keeps his distance. Potty training is going very well. He prefers going outside but also knows how to use a potty pad when needed. Wonka handles baths and nail trims with ease and takes it all in stride like a little pro. Wonka is a gentle, affectionate puppy who would thrive in a home looking for a loyal companion, a steady sidekick, and a professional snuggler.

Story
Hilo is a fun-loving, energetic pup with a huge heart and an equally impressive cuddle game. He’s social, affectionate, and truly hasn’t met a stranger—new people are just friends he hasn’t snuggled yet. When playtime winds down, Hilo’s favorite place is right by your side, whether that’s curled up in your lap or stretched out near you on the couch. Hilo is very dog social and absolutely loves to run, chase, and wrestle with canine friends. He’s also met a resident cat and has been calmly curious and mostly indifferent, choosing dog play over kitty chasing. He’s fully potty trained, comfortable in a crate, and does well when left alone for a few hours. In the car, he’s an excellent passenger, happily laying down or gazing out the window. This playful guy is either all-in on fun or completely ready to power down for snuggles—there’s no in-between. He adores stuffed squeaky toys (especially the kind he can proudly destroy) and is actively improving his leash skills with regular walks and trail outings. With consistency, he’s getting better every day. Hilo still has some puppy energy and would thrive in a home that can provide daily exercise, continued training, and plenty of attention. He acclimates quickly to new environments and is eager to be part of a loving routine. If you’re looking for a joyful, affectionate companion who can keep up on adventures and then happily crash in your lap, Hilo is ready to be your new best friend. 💙
