Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Finding joy in the simple things is a true art form, and Augie seems to have mastered it through his signature move: rolling right onto his back and offering a friendly paw whenever he is looking for attention. He meets the world with a lighthearted, playful spirit that naturally brings a smile to those around him. With a sweet, goofy nature, he mixes an easygoing friendliness with a genuine fondness for people and displays comfortable, social behavior when spending time around other dogs. This resilient fellow is currently adapting to life on three legs following his recent right forelimb amputation surgery. He has demonstrated consistent house-trained habits in his routine, making him a respectful companion to have around the home. Because a peaceful environment is essential for his healing, he needs a quiet, supportive foster space where he can rest, recuperate, and safely recover from his procedure. Fostering offers a direct, tangible way to save a life by giving a dog a quiet place to heal until they are ready for their next chapter. You can provide the safe harbor and medication-and-rest routine he needs right now by reaching out to welcome Augie into your care today.

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
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 2wks

Zoey is 3 to 4 years old. She is an Australian Shepherd mix. We are fostering her from a friend, they have a newborn and working nights and unfortunately not able to care for Zoey as needed. We would like someone is looking for someone who can give her a better life. She is very affectionate and very sweet. She is highly intelligent and plays well with other dogs. She knows a lot of tricks and commands. She does have some anxiety due to spending some time in the crate, and also does not like to be left alone too long outside. We are looking for a family or someone who wants a best friend to go on adventures with! She is very energetic and having a playmate will be a plus!

Story
🐾 Meet Fergie! 🐾 Fergie is a sweet, loving girl who has been a very special part of our family. My fiancé adopted her when she was less than six months old, and we quickly bonded with her. She is truly a cuddle bug who loves being around her people 24/7. ❤️ Fergie is wonderful with other dogs and children. She loves to play with our four-year-old Aussie, and she has been great around kids. She sleeps with us, loves attention, and is happiest when she’s close to her family. Unfortunately, with our busy schedules and a baby on the way, we haven’t been able to give Fergie the consistent time and attention she needs for potty/house training. She is a sweet girl who deserves a home where someone has the time and patience to work with her and continue her training. This is a very difficult decision because we love her, and we want what is best for her. We are hoping to find her a loving home with someone who understands that she may need some patience and consistency with house training

Story
Meet Kip: The Border Collie Who Didn't Read the Border Collie Manual If your idea of a perfect Saturday involves sleeping until noon and binge-watching TV, Kip respectfully suggests you keep scrolling. But if you're looking for a running buddy, hiking partner, or someone to guilt you into actually sticking to that "I'm training for my first 10K" promise... Kip has already laced up her imaginary running shoes. At around a year old and 30 pounds (she could stand to gain a few more), Kip is all enthusiasm. She'll happily chase, run, explore, and make sure life never gets boring. Now, Border Collies are rumored to be among the smartest dogs on the planet. I'm not saying Kip is questioning that statistic... but let's just say she's currently earning a solid B student status. She has plenty of enthusiasm, occasionally skips the homework, and sometimes gets distracted by her own feet. Fortunately, she's incredibly eager to please, which counts for a lot. Speaking of Border Collie things... yes, the herding instinct is alive and well. When I throw a ball for my Shepherd mix, Kip immediately appoints herself Assistant Herding Manager and tries to direct traffic by gently nipping at his heels. He couldn't care less because BALL, but she'd do best with someone who understands the breed and can give that busy brain and body an appropriate job. The good news? She's incredibly sweet. Kip is generous with kisses, loves the other dogs in my home, ignored both my foster kittens and barn cat after a quick sniff, and sleeps quietly through the night in her crate. She's also making great progress with her house training and leash manners. Kip isn't looking for someone who wants the easiest dog. She's looking for someone who wants a dog they'll have adventures with. The person who smiles when the trail gets longer, who doesn't mind a little dirt on their shoes, and who knows that life is simply more fun with a slightly goofy Border Collie by their side. Kip is spayed, up to date on vaccines, and ready to find her forever adventure partner. Apply here 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
