Story
One morning in May of 2025, we found Byron in a busy intersection at Howard and Gregg in Pflugerville. He was emaciated, patchy, dirty, and so sad. We took him to the vet and started our journey to getting him healthy and happy. They said he was 6 months old at the time, and weighed 22lbs. Right after finding Byron, we found out we were going to be having a baby. Over the last year, we have worked hard to address his allergies, put weight on him, and help his hair grow back. He's looking and feeling great! Unfortunately, there have been three separate instances of him getting aggressive with small children. It struck us incredibly odd, because he's such a sweet dog with us and our older children. We recently learned he's blind in his right eye, so we think what has happened is they've caught him off guard. Regardless, we can't risk it with our new baby. We have to find this sweet pup a new home.Byron is a lazy lay-arounder. He is home alone A LOT, and is never destructive or anxious.

Story
So sad to write this but we are looking for a new home for this sweet girl! We rescued her a couple months ago but we have 2 other dogs and I’m due in 2 weeks with my 5th baby and it’s just too much for us to keep her. About Gracie:- Vet thinks she’s between 1-2- She is very very sweet- Thrives off human connection- Very good with kids, she lets our 2 year old climb all over her no problem- Great with other dogs, it took her a good week or 2 to get used to my 2 dogs but now they’re best friends and play all day- House trained- Leash trainedShe will come with a pink harness, collar and leash. My biggest concern is making sure she goes to go to the right family! I will want to meet you ahead of time 🙂 Thank you!!

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.

Story
Meet Heidi: Professional Cuddler, Adventure Buddy, and Tennis Ball Enthusiast 🎾💕 Sweet Heidi is the total package—a loyal companion who loves equal parts adventure and couch time. Whether she's exploring the neighborhood on a walk, chasing a tennis ball at top speed, or curling up beside her favorite person, Heidi is happiest when she's spending time with her humans. This smart, affectionate girl has settled beautifully into a home environment and continues to impress everyone she meets with her eagerness to learn. Heidi already knows sit, down, come, stay, and heel, and she's fully house-trained and crate-trained. She's incredibly intuitive and quickly picks up household routines, making her an easy companion to live with. Heidi's favorite things include: 🐾 Cuddling on the couch and showering her people with kisses 🐾 Walks, outdoor adventures, and rolling in the grass 🐾 Fetch sessions with tennis balls 🐾 Enrichment toys, puzzles, and learning new things 🐾 Car rides—she's a calm and relaxed passenger 🐾 Tasty treats, especially her beloved rawhide chips Heidi is a curious girl who loves to investigate the world around her. She's very food-motivated and enjoys having a job to do, making training both fun and rewarding. Her foster reports that she's eager to please and thrives when given guidance and consistency. Like many dogs, Heidi is still building confidence in some situations. She can be vocal when meeting unfamiliar people or dogs on walks and may alert bark when someone comes to the door. The good news? She's made wonderful progress and responds well to redirection and positive reinforcement. As she settles in and builds trust with her people, these behaviors continue to improve. Heidi would love a home that can provide plenty of affection, daily walks, and opportunities to keep her active mind engaged. In return, she'll offer endless loyalty, sweet snuggles, and a best friend who's always happy to be by your side. 💖 Ready to meet your new cuddle buddy? Heidi can't wait to meet you!

Story
Meet Bell 💕 When you first meet Bell, she can be a little shy and unsure of her surroundings. She takes a moment to figure out what’s going on, but once she feels safe and comfortable, her whole personality shines. Out in the play yard, Bell comes alive. She’s full of happy zoomies, racing around with her tiny legs showing off just how fast she can go. It’s pure joy watching her let loose and enjoy herself. And when the fun winds down, Bell is all about the cuddles. She loves being held close, snuggled like a baby, and getting gentle pets, it’s truly her favorite thing in the world. Bell is looking for a patient, loving home that will give her the time she needs to fully come out of her shell. In return, she’ll give you endless affection, sweet moments, and a loyal little shadow ready for every adventure ahead. If you think you can be that person for her, Bell is more than ready to go home and start her next chapter with you. 💕
