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 really loves children and will happily play with them for hours. He bonds deeply and loves nothing more than being close to his people. Paco is house-trained, crate 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 has been around cats and does well with them. 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. He will need antinausea medication to travel, however. 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.

Story
Eazy is a sweet and spirited little guy with a big heart and a brave story. He was rescued from a drainage ditch alongside his mama and sister, Breezy, and has been thriving in foster care ever since. At home, Eazy is confident and playful with his doggie siblings, showing off his energetic and curious nature. Out in the world, he’s a bit more cautious—taking his time to warm up to new pups, people, and places but only a few minutes. His foster is working with him using positive reinforcement training to help build his confidence, and he’s making great progress! Even more helpful is having a kind, confident sibling by his side. He wasn’t bothered by the cat he met recently and is young enough to acclimate to having them around. Eazy would do best in a home with a yard, older children (10+) who can understand he is still learning and can help him learn the do’s and don’ts. He’s a total cuddle bug—curling up in your lap for a nap after a good play session. He loves to run, climb, jump, and is smart as a whip. Maybe he is a future agility or disc dog star? Eazy is crate trained and knows how to use a doggie door. He will need potty training in his new home. If you're looking for a pup with a resilient spirit, a playful personality, and a whole lot of love to give, Eazy might just be your perfect match 🥰 Eazy's adoption fee of $375 includes vet care, age-appropriate vaccinations, heartworm treatment, rabies and tick vaccines, dewormer, microchip, and future neuter. Austin, TX area adoptions. Fenced backyard. Children over 10 years.

Aka Threezy Breezy’s journey has been nothing short of incredible. Just 24 hours after arriving at the rescue, she was rushed to the ER and spent a week in ICU fighting for her life due to an intussusception. Thanks to lifesaving surgery and her unstoppable spirit, Breezy pulled through and returned to her foster home stronger than ever. Despite needing a leg amputation and now a "tripod" after her recovery, Breezy hasn’t missed a beat! She’s now a happy, energetic tripod who doesn’t let anything slow her down. Her resilience and joy are truly contagious. Breezy is looking for a loving home that appreciates her strength and sweetness. She’s playful, affectionate, and ready to bring sunshine into your life. Crate trained. 💙 Ready to welcome this little warrior into your heart and home? Breezy is waiting! Austin, TX area adoptions. Children over 8 years. No pool. A fenced yard please. Breezy's adoption fee of $375 includes vet care, age-appropriate vaccinations, heartworm treatment, rabies and tick vaccines, dewormer, microchip, and future spay.

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.

For sweet Heidi, nothing beats a game of fetch and a snuggle. This young gal loves to sprint around and chase tennis balls - all that's missing is you to cuddle up with! "Heidi is very affectionate and likes to please," says one of her fosters. "She learns quickly and loves to kiss and snuggle!" - Heidi is very inquisitive and likes to sniff and investigate everything she sees. - Her favorite treats are rawhide chip snacks, and all she asks is that you have plenty of those on hand! - Leash-walking is new for Heidi, and she's quickly picking up the skills. She knows heel, sit, come and stay, plus she is fully crate- and house-trained. This quiet, easy-going girl would love to move in with parents who can give her that petting and cuddling she loves and continue her training. Come offer her some snuggles and she'll follow you home!

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
