Story
We haven't come to this decision lightly, but we are looking to rehome our dog Cain. He is a 1.5 year old australian cattle dog mix. He is crate trained, house broken, and very affectionate. Unfortunately we do not have the financial resources or lifestyle to help him succeed and be comfortable. Cain is leash reactive and, we belive, barrier aggressive. He's done well playing one-on-one with a family member's malinois and with two off leash standard poodles. But when around other dogs on leash he is reactive. We have tried hiring a trainer to work with and it did him some good but he needs more attentive and professional training. Ultimately, we think that his behavior is anxiety induced due to understimulation and the environment we live in. We believe he would thrive in a household with no young children or cats, and with a large backyard and lots of physical activity. He is very easily trained and extremely food motivated. We love this dog and have had him since he was three months

Story
Our handsome guy is looking for a new adventure! He’s almost 4 years old, full of energy, and loves hikes, runs, and splashing around at the water’s edge. Mamba’s done great living with both dogs and cats. He loved playing with our old roommates’ pitt, but was gentle with our kitten. With our work schedules getting busier and a move to a smaller apartment coming up, we know he would thrive in a home with more time and space to enjoy life. We’re hoping to find him an awesome family who can give him all the love and activity he deserves. Mamba loves doing tricks as long as treats are involved and is quick to pick up on new ones, right now he is good at sit, stand, lay, paw, and spin!!

German Shepherd Dog Australian Cattle Dog

San Marcos, TX
Size

Good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Sydney, a serene and affectionate Belgian Malinois Shepherd mix with a heart as gentle as her gaze. Sydney is the definition of calm—nothing seems to faze her. She’s incredibly dog and cat friendly, and her low to medium energy level makes her a wonderful match for a peaceful home. Sydney is being fostered in a loving home in San Antonio, TX, where she gets along beautifully with her German Shepherd foster sister. Sydney walks beautifully on a leash and makes an excellent walking buddy for those who enjoy quiet neighborhood strolls. However, her true happy place is outside—she absolutely thrives in a yard where she can explore, relax, and enjoy nature. A home with outdoor space is a must for this sweet girl. Potty trained and polite, Sydney is well-mannered around the house. She's a little shy when meeting new people or visiting unfamiliar places, so she’ll need a patient and loving family willing to give her time to settle in. Once she trusts you, she’ll show you her soft, affectionate side and soak up every bit of attention you're willing to give. Sydney is also a cozy cuddle buddy—she loves curling up next to you on the couch for some quiet bonding time. While she’s not a fan of car rides, Sydney is happy living the homebody life. She’s currently looking for a foster or adopter in Central Texas who can offer her the calm, consistent environment she deserves. If you're looking for a gentle, loyal companion, Sydney is ready to make your heart her home.

Story
Goose is the perfect little wingman. Wherever his brothers go, he is right behind them, taking it all in and making sure he does not miss a thing. He may be cautious at first, but he is not intimidated, even big dogs do not faze him. He carries himself with quiet confidence and a steady spirit. Goose loves his people, big and small, and enjoys attention, but he is also wonderfully independent. While his brothers are busy wrestling outside, he is perfectly content grabbing a toy and entertaining himself. He is the kind of pup who can balance affection and adventure with ease. He is a sweet, happy boy, but do not expect him to sit still for endless snuggles, he has important puppy business to attend to. Goose is curious, thoughtful, and full of personality, and he is going to grow into a loyal, well rounded companion.

With her calm demeanor and good manners, Aspen would make a wonderful companion for a lucky family.

Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Georgia is a fun, spirited girl with a happy personality and lots of love to give. She has a higher energy level than some of her calmer shelter friends and would thrive in a home that enjoys staying active. Georgia loves getting out for walks, playtime, and exploring her surroundings, and she’s always ready for her next adventure. She’s friendly, affectionate, and enjoys spending time with her people, especially when there’s fun involved. Georgia would do best with adopters who can provide regular exercise, enrichment, and opportunities to burn off her energy—after which she’s more than happy to relax and enjoy companionship. If you’re looking for a lively, loving dog who will keep you moving and bring joy to your days, Georgia could be the perfect addition to your home. 🧡

LIL SEBASTIAN

Australian Cattle Dog Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 2 yrs 9 mos
Kyle, TX
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Lil Sebastian has been in a shelter environment since March 2025, and he’s had a hard time adjusting to life behind kennel doors. He arrived at PAWS in May, and like so many sensitive dogs, he's been quietly trying to cope with the noise, stress, and unpredictability of shelter life. We don’t know what Seb’s life looked like before PAWS — but based on his behavior, we can guess that he hasn’t always been treated with kindness. He’s shy and avoidant at first, preferring to hang back and observe. He may not rush up to greet you, and he likely won't be the dog who catches your eye first… but give him a chance, and you’ll discover a truly special companion. With gentle patience, some kind words, and a few tasty treats, Lil Sebastian begins to let his walls down. He’ll tiptoe forward, slowly wag his tail, and eventually give in to the warmth of human connection. Once he realizes you’re safe to be around, he blossoms into a total sweetheart — a goofy, tail-wagging cuddlebug who rolls around, leans into pets, and shows you his playful side. Seb doesn’t need much — just a calm, loving environment where he can feel secure. Whether you're interested in fostering or adopting, you’ll be giving him the gift he’s waited so long for: a place where he can truly relax and be himself.
