Story
Esme is a playful 3 year old. She is very loving and only wants cuddles and treats. Me and my s/o got her from Austin pets alive a few months ago and quickly realized we are not equipped to have a dog, we have tried to adjust because we love her so much but our schedules won’t allow it. She has had a couple accidents on the floor but I believe it’s only because of infrequent walks due to living in an apartment and having busy schedules. I would love for her to go to a home with a yard or people who love being outdoors. She is trainable we’ve been able to teach her sit and stay. The adoption fee is only for her items such as crate, toys, beds, food dishes, treats, harness, leash, collar, and food.

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,
Story
I began fostering Bruce for a friend who was having some medical issues and had just began fostering him herself. He’s partially trained but needs some more work and someone that can dedicate more time to him. He is crate trained and house trained and has had no inside plumbing issues since I first took him in mid-October. I take him to the dog park regularly and he gets along well/plays well with the other dogs. His walking skills need some work and he wants to chase every animal or wind blown plant he sees. I live in a 1 bedroom apartment and highly recommend someone with a house and a big yard because he does need more space to roam than I’m able to provide.

Story
Meet Bella! She is a very sweet 2 year old female Kelpie/GSD mix, and is UTD on shots, spayed, and on monthly heartworm/flea preventative. Bella has undergone successful heartworm treatment and is now heartworm negative! Bella doesn’t do great with small dogs (under 20lbs) but she’s perfect with all other dogs, male and female. Bella is very kid friendly. She is more of a submissive, low key dog, with bursts of energy but 90% of the time wanting to be by your feet laying down sleeping. She does need some work on leash manners and not jumping on guests when they enter the house. Bella does not bark at all. She does whine a bit in her crate at first but quickly stops. She is completely housebroken and crate trained. She’s the sweetest dog who just wants love all day every day and to spend every waking moment by the people she loves. Big and small. Please please please give this girl a chance!! If you'd like to make Bella a furever member of your family please fill out our adoption application at adoption.poundpupandfriends.org

These pups are in Leander, Texas too!

Story
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.

Australian Cattle Dog

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.
