For sweet Heidi, nothing beats a game of fetch and a snuggle. This young gal loves to sprint around and chase tennis balls - all that's missing is you to cuddle up with! "Heidi is very affectionate and likes to please," says one of her fosters. "She learns quickly and loves to kiss and snuggle!" - Heidi is very inquisitive and likes to sniff and investigate everything she sees. - Her favorite treats are rawhide chip snacks, and all she asks is that you have plenty of those on hand! - Leash-walking is new for Heidi, and she's quickly picking up the skills. She knows heel, sit, come and stay, plus she is fully crate- and house-trained. This quiet, easy-going girl would love to move in with parents who can give her that petting and cuddling she loves and continue her training. Come offer her some snuggles and she'll follow you home!

Hilo

Australian Shepherd Border Collie

Male, 5 yrs
Austin, TX
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained,
Story
Hilo is a fun-loving, energetic pup with a huge heart and an equally impressive cuddle game. He’s social, affectionate, and truly hasn’t met a stranger—new people are just friends he hasn’t snuggled yet. When playtime winds down, Hilo’s favorite place is right by your side, whether that’s curled up in your lap or stretched out near you on the couch. Hilo is very dog social and absolutely loves to run, chase, and wrestle with canine friends. He’s also met a resident cat and has been calmly curious and mostly indifferent, choosing dog play over kitty chasing. He’s fully potty trained, comfortable in a crate, and does well when left alone for a few hours. In the car, he’s an excellent passenger, happily laying down or gazing out the window. This playful guy is either all-in on fun or completely ready to power down for snuggles—there’s no in-between. He adores stuffed squeaky toys (especially the kind he can proudly destroy) and is actively improving his leash skills with regular walks and trail outings. With consistency, he’s getting better every day. Hilo still has some puppy energy and would thrive in a home that can provide daily exercise, continued training, and plenty of attention. He acclimates quickly to new environments and is eager to be part of a loving routine. If you’re looking for a joyful, affectionate companion who can keep up on adventures and then happily crash in your lap, Hilo is ready to be your new best friend. 💙

Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
What do you need to fall in love with Bluebelle? A little bit of patience, a well refined sense of humor and a love for a quirky dog! Just like a long lasting relationship in the human world, Bluebelle is going to want to take it slow-long walks to explore and get to know you, a little distance to not go love bombing and the time to get to know this extroverted introvert. She loves to stop and smell the roses (or every blade of grass) as she explores the world with you. Not to mention her special sassy strut. As she gets more comfortable with your budding relationship, you'll start to see her weirdo personality come out. Where did that voice come from? Why is she rubbing on you like a cat? Is she ready for pets? Not quite yet! And that's okay!! In the home, she's mostly content to do her own thing. She loves to curl up on the end of the bed or a bed of her own to snooze the day away. Work a typical or atypical day out of the house? This girl has no issues being home alone where she can enjoy multiple beds or even hang out in her crate. In a yard, she'll get the most epic zoomies and then try to dig a hole. WAIT girlfriend! No digging! And she'll come over when asked to stop. Toys make her so happy and she'll use her inside voice as she chases balls, tosses around ropes and carries around a squeaky. She's most content playing with her toys while you watch-not much of a fetch game for her! Her volunteer friends best compare her to a cat-she's got her 'pet friendly' zones, chases the sun for her naps and rubs around your legs. It's entirely possible she was raised by cats which is why she has no idea how to be a proper dog! Bluebelle loves wholeheartedly and as the longest stay dog on campus, she is ready to move into a home of her own. She's got her bags packed already! We know you'll fall in love if you come down to the shelter and ask for Bluebelle! Oh and check out her instagram @adopt_beautiful_bluebelle

Story
Meet Dorothy Emerald! 🐾 Dorothy is a sweet, affectionate lady who loves nothing more than a good scratch- especially between the eyes! She has a gentle nudge-and-paw way of letting you know she’s ready for pets, and her calm, friendly personality makes her a delight to be around. She gets along wonderfully with dogs, kids, and new people, and she’s fully crate and potty trained. Dorothy has excellent manners, and she does well in the car and when left alone for several hours (especially if she has doggie company). Outdoors is one of Dorothy’s favorite places. She enjoys lounging in the sun, feeling the wind on her face, and playing fetch—bringing the toy right back to you every time. She knows commands like sit and come when called, and enjoys her time outside to relax and play. Dorothy also loves toys, which she’ll happily enjoy in her adoptive home. If you’re looking for a loving, playful, and affectionate companion who will happily soak up sunbeams and cuddles alike, Dorothy Emerald is your girl! 🌟

Story
Kellie is a young, retired mama who’s officially ready to be the one getting all the love - and she’s very good at it. She’s a one-of-a-kind mix of playful goofball and expert cuddle partner, equally happy chasing a ball in the yard or curling up beside you for the coziest snuggle sessions. Kellie loves playing fetch, rolling over for belly rubs, and soaking up attention from her people. She already knows sit, paw, up, and down, and her foster describes her as a smart, eager learner who enjoys engaging with her humans. She’s calm in the home, fully house-trained, and does well both crated and loose in the house. When left alone, she settles nicely and waits for her people to return. She’s friendly and confident meeting new people - including kids as young as seven - and rides calmly in the car. On walks, Kellie does well on leash and enjoys getting out and about! With her loving heart, playful spirit, and affectionate nature, Kellie is ready for a forever home where she can finally relax, be spoiled, and return every ounce of love she’s given in her life so far - and then some. 💛
