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
Urgent foster/rehome Looking for assistance with a dog I am temporarily sheltering Nova is a purebred Australian shepherd breed to have a smaller size and is in wonderful health with the paperwork to back it up. She is perfectly fine with cats and children but for dogs at minimum she could potentially work with a behaviorist to help with her dog reactivity. Nova is an incredibly sweet and smart girl who has completed the pet smart advanced training course. She has well tuned leash walking, recall and potty training abilities and is crate trained but is in urgent need of a new environment. Nova is an anxious dog and is struggling to coexist with her canine housemate and is unable to stay in her current placement for long and is facing the potential of a county shelter where if she is not in a foster home may exacerbate her fears and anxieties

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 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!

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
Bronx was adopted from the Humane Society of Silicon Valley (HSSV) on April 23, 2023. He was 11 weeks old and weighed 9.20 lbs. and presumed to be a Border Collie Mix but staff was unsure what he was mixed with. Since his adoption he has completed the required Puppy Training course provided by HSSV while also receiving continued training by his family. Bronx is potty trained, knows the basic commands (sit, stay, leave it, etc..) but could benefit from more extensive and regular training and strong leadership from pack leader or family. Bronx loves to run, fetch and socialize with other dogs and people. He has been trained to be both on and off leash and responds to commands when off leash; but keep in mind he's still a puppy and sometimes gets distracted and may need commands repeated. Bronx also can get a little over excited when it comes to meeting other dogs and people and may jump on them or at them to greet them. BRONX IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN CALIFORNIA.

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. 💕
