Story
Meet Bell 💕 When you first meet Bell, she can be a little shy and unsure of her surroundings. She takes a moment to figure out what’s going on, but once she feels safe and comfortable, her whole personality shines. Out in the play yard, Bell comes alive. She’s full of happy zoomies, racing around with her tiny legs showing off just how fast she can go. It’s pure joy watching her let loose and enjoy herself. And when the fun winds down, Bell is all about the cuddles. She loves being held close, snuggled like a baby, and getting gentle pets, it’s truly her favorite thing in the world. Bell is looking for a patient, loving home that will give her the time she needs to fully come out of her shell. In return, she’ll give you endless affection, sweet moments, and a loyal little shadow ready for every adventure ahead. If you think you can be that person for her, Bell is more than ready to go home and start her next chapter with you. 💕

Story
Smokie is as handsome as he is well mannered. He originally came from a breeder and lived with a family (including 4 kiddos) for almost 2 years. When the family moved out of state, he was kept in a friend’s shed until the shelter would take him in. We’ve learned many things about this very good boy since coming under our care. Besides being house trained and knowing basic commands, he’s also good in the car, leash trained, and is up for any adventure. We’ve had a few field trips with Smokie to the Mueller area. He’s calm and confident and always says thank you for field trips by giving us cuddles. If you’re looking for a confident and handsome adventure buddy, he’s your boy! I’M NOT AT APA! yet, but I’m hoping my turn is coming soon. I’m currently at a partner shelter, and I’ve been placed on their Urgent Placement List - which means I’m one of their highest priority dogs to find a way out. I’ve been told that if someone steps up to foster or adopt me, APA! will bring me into their program and help me get ready for home life, so I'm just waiting to be chosen. All it takes is one person to change everything for me - email dog-foster-placement@austinpetsalive.org to be that person!

Story
One morning in May of 2025, we found Byron in a busy intersection at Howard and Gregg in Pflugerville. He was emaciated, patchy, dirty, and so sad. We took him to the vet and started our journey to getting him healthy and happy. They said he was 6 months old at the time, and weighed 22lbs. Right after finding Byron, we found out we were going to be having a baby. Over the last year, we have worked hard to address his allergies, put weight on him, and help his hair grow back. He's looking and feeling great! Unfortunately, there have been three separate instances of him getting aggressive with small children. It struck us incredibly odd, because he's such a sweet dog with us and our older children. We recently learned he's blind in his right eye, so we think what has happened is they've caught him off guard. Regardless, we can't risk it with our new baby. We have to find this sweet pup a new home.Byron is a lazy lay-arounder. He is home alone A LOT, and is never destructive or anxious.
