Story
Do you like cats but prefer a dog? Cats too small you think you might lose them? A cow is too big but you like the pattern? Well then let us tell you about Bluebelle! Currently living in foster in an apartment, Bluebelle spends her day lounging on her dog bed, looking over her kingdom from the window. She's a quiet companion that happily snoozes next to you while you work from home or waits patiently for you to come home after a work day. She's been reliably housetrained and non destructive for long hours and doesn't need much when it comes to enterainment. Like a cat, she follows the sunbeam as it moves across the window and reminds her foster when it's time for her meals. When it's time for the Bluebelle hour, she gets her full body wiggles and her adorable grumblings. She loves to be pet on her own terms-think short belly rubs and long strokes. (You see the cat qualities, right?!) But when do her cow qualities come out? Take her for a walk and she'll want to sniff every single blade of grass-you never know what you're going to smell. She'll even eat a little salad if you don't keep the pace up. She's pretty neutral on walks, as long as no one is sneaking up behind her. She wants to enjoy nature without a lot of interruptions. And though she can live in an apartment, the ability to zoom in a yard and bask in the sun are a bonus! Bluebelle is an interesting girl who needs time to be comfortable with new people. She has a simple routine that sets up new friends for success. She'd prefer to be the only pet in the home with adults that appreciate she may not be friends with every person. According to her village of volunteers and advocates, she is worth the effort and you will be rewarded by her unique vocal stylings!

Story
A Soft Glow That’s Getting Brighter Every Day Sparkler may share his name with fireworks, but his magic is the slow, steady kind—the gentle glow that builds once you give it a little time. When Sparkler first arrived, he had been through something truly overwhelming. He was quiet, shut down, and clearly needed space to heal. Thanks to excellent veterinary care, his mouth injury has healed beautifully (no stitches left and not even a scar to show for it!), and now the real Sparkler is beginning to shine through. Each day, he grows a little braver. A little more curious. A little more trusting. What hasn’t changed is his sweetness—Sparkler is a very gentle, tender-hearted pup who loves company. You don’t even have to do much; sitting quietly nearby is enough to make his tail start wagging. He seems to find comfort just knowing someone is there with him. Shelter life can feel like a lot for Sparkler, but he’s making steady progress and learning that the world can be kind. With patience, consistency, and a calm environment, this shy spark has the potential to turn into something truly radiant. If you’re someone who believes the most beautiful fireworks are the ones that take time to light, Sparkler might just be your perfect match.

Story
Zayda is a sweet, playful puppy with some excellent real-life skills already under her belt. Shelter staff describe her as house-trained and a loose-leash walker, making her a great candidate for someone looking for a dog who already has a head start on home manners. Zayda can be a little shy when she first enters a new situation, but once she feels comfortable, her playful side comes out. During her initial shelter playgroup evaluation, she greeted the other dogs appropriately, relaxed into loose, happy zoomies, and began actively inviting them to play. Ask shelter staff about scheduling a meet-and-greet with your resident dogs to make sure everyone is a good fit! Primary Color: Brown Secondary Color: Black Weight: 46.2 Age: 2yrs 3mths 3wks

Story
Milo came to us after his owner turned him out for being “bad” and left him to roam free in the countryside. Milo has skin issues which we have not been able to take care of due to the expense. Milo has heartworms. He was treated with antibiotics to kill them but we were not able to afford the procedure to remove them from his heart. Milo is a good dog and we are sad we cannot keep him. Milo is a smiley boy, who loves pets and walks. He hates water, and the vacuum cleaner, and the heat. Food needs to be kept out of his reach or he will eat it. He doesn’t play with toys but loves belly rubs.

Story
Meet Sky! She is a loving, smart, and surprisingly energetic 13-year-old girl who weighs about 35 pounds. Sky has been a wonderful member of our family for the past six years, and making the decision to rehome her is heartbreaking.Since we recently returned to working in an office, Sky has developed severe separation anxiety when left alone. She thrives on human companionship and truly needs a home where someone is around most of the day—such as a retiree or a remote worker—or someone who can bring her along with them.Sky is very food-motivated, loves learning tricks, and gets along wonderfully with children and neighbors. She is a great watchdog who only barks when a stranger comes to the door, and she loves sleeping on a cozy dog bed (she does not do well in a crate). Because of a high prey drive from her past, she needs a home without chickens or small livestock. If you are looking for a loyal shadow who just wants to be by your side, Sky is your girl!

Story
Nobo (full name Yunobo) is a 7-year-old Miniature Australian Shepherd. He's a handsome, 45-pound tri-color Aussie with a sweet, goofy personality and a lot of love to give. He's incredibly loyal, affectionate, intelligent, and playful. He loves long walks, hiking, playing fetch, and spending time outdoors. After getting his energy out, he's just as happy curling up next to you on the couch for a movie night.Nobo is house-trained, neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated, and in great health.As our family has grown with young children, we've noticed that the increased noise and activity can be stressful for him. After consulting with our veterinarian, we believe he'd be happiest in a quieter, adult-only home where he can feel comfortable and relaxed.We're hoping to find Nobo a loving home with someone who has experience with dogs, enjoys staying active, and can give him the attention, exercise, and companionship he deserves.

Story
Are you in the market for a new walking buddy with a snuggly side? Kip is about a year old, around 30 pounds, spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and doing great in her apartment life. She doesn't bark and is quiet in her crate waiting for her people to come home. She's a bit shy when meeting new folks, but she warms up once she knows she is safe. She's got brains as well as looks. She's learned sit, down, paw, fetch, and even drop it on cue. And she walks beautifully on a leash. She's great with other dogs and currently lives with a cat with no issues. She does have that classic herding instinct, so someone who understands that would be great. But, if you're looking for a sweet companion to share walks, a little fetch and some couch snuggles, Kip might be your girl. Kip is located in Austin but you can meet her over a video call. Her adoption fee covers transport to the PNW area. Apply here https://www.centraltexasruffugees.org/copy-of-foster Kip is spayed, up to date on vaccines, and ready to find her forever adventure partner.

Story
A Little Gray Around the Muzzle, A Whole Lot of Love Left to Give Some dogs want to chase tennis balls and go on big adventures. This girl is perfectly happy with a sunny patio, a little room to wander, and someone who will stop for an occasional head pat. At approximately 12 years old, this kelpie/heeler mix has earned her retirement. She’s a happy, easygoing girl who enjoys gentle pets, ear scratches, and simply being near her people. She’s house-trained, has the cutest toothy grin, and is perfectly content to mosey around the yard before coming back to check in for some affection. Goldie would do best with another older, less active dog in the home. She’s not asking for much. Just a comfortable place to spend her days, a few scratches behind the ears, and someone who appreciates the simple things in life. If you’ve got a soft spot for senior dogs, she might just be your girl. Adoption Application: https://www.centraltexasruffugees.org/copy-of-foster

Dora is the best dog and a perfectly lovely girl in all respects. She came from a terrible background and nearly froze to death before she was saved from a very high kill shelter. Today, she's all smiles all the time, romping and playing with her many friends at Dogtown Ranch while she waits for her perfect family to come along. Could that be you? Call us today and let's put Dora under your Christmas tree...you couldn't find a better dog to join the family and raise kids with. Dora is like living with a happily ever after Disney movie.May 22, 2024, 5:48 am
