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

Little Lucy was saved being given away in front of a store to just anyone. Luckily our good friend and fellow rescuer at Dogtown Ranch scooped up Little Lucy. All of her littermates died, but thanks to Dogtown, Lucy has survived. She is super gentle and a very calm dog for a little puppy. Super dog friendly and gets along with all the other dogs at Dogtown. Please give us a call today to arrange a meeting with our precious Little Lucy.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.

Story
Snoopy is a 10-year-old Dalmatian cattle mix, who is an absolute sweetheart. He's great with other dogs and I take him to the park regularly. Very well house trained and will ignore any objects that you tell him are off limits. He only provides a little resistance during bathing. Despite being an older dog, I have found him to be highly trainable and touch motivated. When other dogs bark at him, you will find him running to you for comfort. When he does rarely, bark it's usually at very distant sounds.

Story
Meet Paco – Your Loyal Shadow and Playful Pup Paco is a handsome brown and white hound mix with a heart as big as his floppy ears. This affectionate boy is thriving in his foster home and is now ready to find a forever family of his very own — ideally one with a fenced yard, a playful dog friend, and humans who will include him in their daily life. He bonds deeply and loves nothing more than being close to his people. Paco is house-trained, great on a leash, and eager to please. He loves to romp and wrestle with other dogs and is surprisingly respectful around chickens — a true southern gentleman. He’s curious with cats and learning to be polite with them, taking gentle correction well. After a fun day, Paco prefers to sleep snuggled up with his foster mom, but he also does great overnight in a crate when needed. Being outdoors is Paco’s happy place. He enjoys exploring, sunbathing, and relaxing in the grass, and he’s a fan of splashing in the water to cool off on warm days. Car rides are becoming more comfortable for him, and with continued positive experiences, he’ll soon be a confident travel buddy. Paco is the perfect match for someone seeking a loyal, cuddly, dog-friendly companion with a sweet spirit and a playful heart. If you’re ready for a devoted shadow who will follow you from the garden to the couch, look no further — Paco is ready to love you for life. Paco is being fostered in a home in Seguin, TX but can be transported to the PNW and NE. To see more pictures and videos, copy and paste this link. To apply directly for Paco, push the "Apply for Adoption" button. https://www.shelterluv.com/embed/animal/FODS-A-722 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.

Cooper is a 4-month-old Blue Heeler mix with a zest for life and an incredibly gentle heart. Cooper is smart, affectionate, and already potty and pad trained. He’s currently working on his leash manners and learning quickly, showing just how eager he is to bond and please his people. Cooper is dog-friendly and cat-appropriate, enjoying playtime with canine pals while respectfully ignoring feline ones. He especially loves splashing in the kiddie pool and watching squirrels on TV – simple joys that show off his playful, curious nature. He’s the kind of pup who brings a spark of happiness to everything he does, and he’s ready to share that spark with a family who’ll love him as much as he’ll love them. Cooper’s brother, Bennet, is also available for adoption, and the two share a wonderful bond. You can adopt Cooper on his own or open your heart and home to both brothers for double the fun and twice the love. Either way, Cooper is sure to brighten your life every single day. Austin, TX area adoptions only. Children over 5 years due to sharp puppy teeth. Fenced yard. Adoption fee of $350 for vet exam, vaccinations, heartworm preventatives, dewormer, fecal test, rabies/tick tests, neuter and microchip.

Story
SOFT & SWEET DOVE! Dove has come to our rescue as a stray with her sister Wren and her brother, Trooper. We think they are heeler mixes and their adult weight may be between 25-35 pounds. They are working on puppy pad training and their adopter should be up for house training them, with some puppy classes. However, she is crate trained. They need an Austin, TX area home with a privacy fenced yard, no swimming pool unless fenced, no children under 5 years due to their sharp puppy teeth and behavior. A canine sibling will be a great to help out with further training. **As of 11/7/25, Dove is currently on a month-long puppy training program at a training camp. See the video above. Her adoption fee stays the same. We are committed to her welfare and being adoptable. Please consider how much effort we put into Dove.** Dove's adoption fee of $350 includes her vet exam, age appropriate vaccinations, fecal test, dewormer, heartworm/tick tests, preventatives, microchip, and a spay.

Story
SPICY🌶️! Pepper is a gorgeous red heeler (Australian cattle dog) who is super smart and at one time someone must have spent time on training. She knows sit, down, shake and treat. Pepper needs an active home with an adopter who will continue her training and possibly a canine sport. We think she might be a bit much for children under 8 years of age. She is crate trained but we do not know about house training. The only “downside ” we have seen is she guards her food from other dogs and thinks it’s all hers, so feeding any other other pets it is best to do in two different areas. A nice fenced yard would be perfect for lots of running, playing and training. We have not seen her with dogs under 30 pounds so we don’t know how she will be with small pets. Pepper’s adoption fee of $250.00 include her vet exam, basic vaccinations, fecal test, wormer, heart worm/tick testing, preventative, spay and microchip. Austin, TX area adoptions only. Fenced yard. Children over 8 years old.

Story
What do you need to fall in love with Bluebelle? A little bit of patience, a well refined sense of humor and a love for a quirky dog! Just like a long lasting relationship in the human world, Bluebelle is going to want to take it slow-long walks to explore and get to know you, a little distance to not go love bombing and the time to get to know this extroverted introvert. She loves to stop and smell the roses (or every blade of grass) as she explores the world with you. Not to mention her special sassy strut. As she gets more comfortable with your budding relationship, you'll start to see her weirdo personality come out. Where did that voice come from? Why is she rubbing on you like a cat? Is she ready for pets? Not quite yet! And that's okay!! In the home, she's mostly content to do her own thing. She loves to curl up on the end of the bed or a bed of her own to snooze the day away. Work a typical or atypical day out of the house? This girl has no issues being home alone where she can enjoy multiple beds or even hang out in her crate. In a yard, she'll get the most epic zoomies and then try to dig a hole. WAIT girlfriend! No digging! And she'll come over when asked to stop. Toys make her so happy and she'll use her inside voice as she chases balls, tosses around ropes and carries around a squeaky. She's most content playing with her toys while you watch-not much of a fetch game for her! Her volunteer friends best compare her to a cat-she's got her 'pet friendly' zones, chases the sun for her naps and rubs around your legs. It's entirely possible she was raised by cats which is why she has no idea how to be a proper dog! Bluebelle loves wholeheartedly and as the longest stay dog on campus, she is ready to move into a home of her own. She's got her bags packed already! We know you'll fall in love if you come down to the shelter and ask for Bluebelle! Oh and check out her instagram @adopt_beautiful_bluebelle
