Briscoe

Australian Shepherd Border Collie

Male, Young
Lakeway, TX
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
1-year-old Aussie/Border Collie mix, 45 lbs. Friendly with dogs; does well with my elderly small dog but can be a bit playful/pushy. Likely okay with cats—has shown calm curiosity on leash. Limited kid exposure; generally positive but once gave a warning growl when approached unexpectedly. Great on leash (EZ Walk harness), loose leash ~90%. Off-leash trained with ~80–90% recall in familiar areas; responds to commands like stay, wait, heel. Knows sit, come, down, drop it, leave it, and more. Crate trained; spends long hours crated, which isn’t ideal for him. Needs grain-inclusive diet; slight chicken intolerance. Very food-motivated and easy to train. No destructive behavior; minimal bad habits. Energetic but doesn’t require intense exercise—enjoys walks, sniffing, and short training sessions. Loving, loyal, cuddly, and goofy. Best suited for someone home more often or an active household. Rehoming fee $150; includes supplies. Meet-and-greet and vet reference required.

Story
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 2 mos
Austin, TX
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
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. 💙

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
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
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
Yoda is deaf but does know some sign language. He is a very loved and letting him go is very sad for us. Since our daughter has come along it is no longer safe to have him in our home. Yoda has an extensive bite history and overall does not accept being pet or touched in any fashion. He has come a long way and has received extensive behavioral training. However, he must be treated with extreme caution. He looks very friendly and he is so long as he is not touched. His love language is treats, chew toys and walks. He was adopted at around 1 and we think his environment combined with his inability to hear triggered extreme anxiety around touch and separation. The ideal person for him would be someone who also needs space but seeks to have a companion nearby. Yoda has separation anxiety so it is ideal if his new owner works from home. We would love for him to go to home which can provide him the space to be free. We are unsure how he would do around farm animals. Must keep away from kids.
