Story
Meet Bluebelle: Easy, Peaceful, and Ready to Be Yours 💙 ✔️ House-trained ✔️ Non-destructive (free-roam ready!) ✔️ Walks beautifully on leash ✔️ Great in the car ✔️ Amazing staycation bestie Bluebelle is the definition of easy living. She’s calm, polite, and incredibly low-maintenance—the kind of dog who settles right into your home and makes it feel better just by being there. A typical day with Bluebelle looks like this: a relaxed walk or “sniffari,” a good meal, and then hours of peaceful lounging nearby while you work, read, or unwind. She loves sunshine, soft spots to nap, and being close to her person without needing constant attention. Think: quiet companion, not chaos. She can seem a little reserved at first, but give her a little time and she warms up into the sweetest, silliest version of herself—leaning in for cuddles, sneaking in face kisses, and occasionally breaking out happy zoomies when she’s feeling extra good. Bluebelle isn’t looking for a busy, high-energy lifestyle—she’s looking for someone who appreciates calm, cozy connection and a dog who just gets it. In return, you’ll get a deeply loyal, steady companion who brings a sense of peace wherever she goes. She also comes with lifelong training and support from our team, so you’ll have guidance every step of the way! If you’re looking for a dog who fits seamlessly into your life (and your couch), Bluebelle might be your girl. ✨

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
Kainoa, who we call Kai, is a 1.5-year-old Border Collie/Australian Shepherd mix who we adopted through Austin Pets Alive!’s PASS program. He is an extremely loyal, loving, and playful boy who forms deep bonds with his people. Although he struggles with anxiety and does not do well with strangers, he is such a lover once he has built trust and feels safe with someone. We are looking for a home that can give Kai the love, attention, patience, and time he needs to thrive. He needs someone who understands his anxiety, is willing to work with him, and can provide a calm, structured environment where he can feel secure. Kai has so much love to give to the people he trusts, and we want to find him a home that understands him and is committed to helping him succeed.

Story
Kody is a sweet, intelligent and inquisitive min-Aussie Shepherd, tri-color who turned one year old on May 13th. He was a Christmas gift and 7 months old when we received him. He's a pure-bred purchased from a reputable breeder on a goat ranch. Our frequent travel keeps us away too much and he needs more attention that we can provide.

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.

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.
