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.

Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
He was found in a dumpster with his siblings and was adopted by us shortly after from the shelter. Very hyper active, and has extreme chewing and what I consider pica. Eats any toy we give him, any furniture he’s around including walls and window edges. I want him to go to someone who knows how to handle extreme behavior like this, because we are at our wits end as renters. Other than his behavioral issues he’s a sweet and loving dog who is very gentle with our cat. Has never shown aggression to people or other animals he has met. Can be a bit skiddish at first but always comes around to wanting to make a new friend.

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
Max is a 5-month-old puppy with a friendly and playful personality. He enjoys playing, being around people, and has lots of energy. He is current on his rabies vaccination, deworming, and flea/tick prevention (Bravecto). He has not bitten anyone and is still young, so he will continue to benefit from training and socialization. I am looking for a loving, stable home where he will receive plenty of attention, exercise, and patience as he grows. This decision is due to changes in my family circumstances and is not because of any fault of Max's. He deserves a family that can give him the time and consistency he needs.
