Story
With a stunning liver-red coat and striking amber eyes, Bola is the kind of dog who commands attention the moment he walks into a room. His large, expressive ears are always tuned to his surroundings, framing a face that radiates sweetness. This handsome fellow is a gentle soul who deeply values human companionship. If you are moving about the house, he will shadow your steps from room to room, content just to be near you. The moment you finally settle down, Bola takes it as his cue to climb right up and transform into an affectionate lap dog. While he has plenty of moments where he is described as a chill couch potato, he balances that downtime with a watchful awareness. He maintains a keen interest in the local squirrel population and is highly motivated by tasty treats. He shows a sweet, easygoing disposition when spending quiet time with his favorite humans, making him a wonderful companion for relaxing days at home. Right now, this beautiful boy needs a comfortable, quiet sanctuary to rest and heal. He is currently recovering from a growth removal on his paw, which means he needs a temporary home with no other dogs so he can focus entirely on his recovery. Getting Bola out of the kennel environment and into a cool, air-conditioned space is essential for his healing. You can provide the soothing environment he needs to get back on his feet. Open your heart and home to Bola today by reaching out to bring him home for a restorative stay.

Story
Sourdough is a sweet, playful girl who’s ready to trade in mom duties for a cozy forever home of her own. After raising her puppies, this retired mama is enjoying the chance to focus on being a dog again—playing, exploring, and soaking up the simple joys of life. She’s a wonderful companion who already has some great home skills under her belt. Sourdough does well in a crate, rides nicely in the car, and walks politely on a leash, making her an easy buddy for everyday adventures. She’s also housebroken, which makes the transition into a home even smoother. When you first meet her, Sourdough might be a little shy, but give her a little time and patience and you’ll see her warm, loving personality start to shine. Once she feels comfortable, her playful side comes out and she enjoys spending time with her people. If you’re looking for a gentle, well-mannered pup with a sweet spirit and a playful heart, Sourdough might just be the perfect addition to your family. Come meet her and see if she’s the missing ingredient in your home!

Story
Cricket is a confident, independent dog looking for someone to take him on adventures! He's easygoing, walks really nicely on his leash, and knows sit and will do it very patiently for a treat. He's a really smart guy that likes the company of other dogs, enjoys pets, and while he may try to sit in your lap, he's not going to be glued to you. Nope - this boy isn't a stage five clinger at all. He's easy peasy, playful, and curious (but watch out, squirrels!). Cricket really is the whole package and anyone would be lucky to scoop up this uniquely handsome dude. Primary Color: Chocolate Secondary Color: Tan Weight: 60 Age: 2yrs 6mths 2wks

Story
Felicia has been welcomed to a foster home that she shares with her caregivers, a dog and a cat. She's very polite to cats, both indoors and outdoors, and her current dog friend is a very cute, small older dog friend. She would probably enjoy a friendly, polite dog she can snuggle and play with.Where people are, you'll find Felicia quietly nearby, just in case there's a call out for a snuggle, she'll be right there. Felicia also seems child friendly.Her personality is gentle, sweet and easy.She walks nicely on a leash and rides well in a car.She's shown herself to be well rounded.Felicia is healthy and comes with a clean bill of health from the shelter and her advocates at ClassicCaninesATX.A common question - why is this dog in a shelter system?Felicia was part of a larger dog crew that lost a longtime home and came to the shelter for safety. Life was not easy for their dog crew. Offering a bridge home by adopting a mature dog from the shelter system is a rewarding experience, for both you and the dog. One that you'll always remember.

Story
Zooka is a gentle, loving senior dog who will be a loyal best friend to someone special. This dignified lady has a heart full of affection and a calm, quiet nature. She is a true couch potato who loves nothing more than snuggling up with her favorite people or animals. Zooka is a friendly soul who gets along with everyone she meets, including cats and farm animals—she's even gentle with children! Her easy-going personality makes her the perfect companion for any family. Zooka is a chunky girl with a big heart and an even bigger appetite. She prefers to be indoors, but she will need a fenced yard to call her own as she is smart and social. If left alone outside, with no human or animals to interact with, for long periods of time, she will find a way to socialize. Inside, she does well on her own, with no destruction. While she is a senior, she is healthy and has had regular checkups. Zooka still has a lot of love and life to give. She is a true gem who will bring joy and companionship to her new family. Her ideal home would be one where she can relax and be loved, with plenty of kisses and snuggles. Easy to walk on a leash. Unfortunately, Zooka lost her family life when they had to move because of health issues with their child. A friend stepped up to foster for the family and has stated that she is the most loving and gentle soul, especially around children. No herding or nipping from this girl. If you're looking for a faithful friend to add some warmth and love to your life, Zooka might just be the perfect dog for you. Come and meet this wonderful senior lady today and see for yourself!

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
