He has excellent leash manners, takes treats gently, doesn’t jump, and consistently holds his business until he’s outside.

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

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.

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.
