Story
Buddy is a 6-year-old, 57-lb neutered male Lab mix with a big heart and a gentle, affectionate personality. He was saved from the euthanasia list in San Antonio, TEXAS and is currently being fostered there, but he is available for out-of-state transport arranged by the rescue once matched with an approved adopter. Endearingly called “Air Bud” by his foster, Buddy loves people and forms bonds easily. He’s playful, social, and enjoys toys, pets, and any moment spent with his humans. He’s dog-friendly, but he doesn’t require another dog in the home—as long as he’s given love, attention, and companionship, he thrives. He’s potty trained, crate trained, and knows “sit.” He does great in the car, making him an easy travel buddy. Buddy enjoys walks and hikes, and because he gets excited to explore, he’s currently working on his leash manners. He may pull slightly, but he settles into a comfortable rhythm and loves being outside. His playful side comes out when he’s engaging with toys or adventuring, but indoors he settles well and loves relaxing near his people. We don’t have history with cats or young children, so we recommend a home with kids 13+ who understand dog body language and how to interact respectfully. Buddy is loving, loyal, and ready for his forever home. He’s looking for a calm, patient family who can help him learn to trust and continue to become his best self. He’s the perfect mix of playful and easygoing and would make a wonderful companion for someone ready to give him the love he’s always deserved. Please note our process starts with an application. If we think you might be a good fit, we will reach out to coordinate a phone interview. This is followed by a video call with the foster home. Virtual home visit, personal and vet reference checks are required to complete the process. Transport is included in our adoption donation. ___ Breed and Age Notice: The listed breed and age are our best estimates. In most cases, we do not know a dog’s exact age or full breed mix, as information is often limited. Ready to apply? Complete an adoption application using the link below!

Story
Diva is a playful, affectionate, and outgoing girl with plenty of pep in her step and love to give. She adores running, playing, and chasing with other dogs, especially those that can match her fun, active spirit. Her tail is always wagging, and she’s just as happy exploring on her own as she is romping with a canine buddy. Diva would thrive in a home with another dog who shares her zest for playtime. On leash, Diva does wonderfully — she stays close and walks politely without pulling, making her an enjoyable companion for daily outings. Around cats, she mostly ignores them but will happily sneak a bite of their food if she gets the chance. She hasn’t lived with children while in foster care, but she is affectionate and gentle, and her foster believes she would do well with kids, especially those old enough to manage her enthusiasm (and protect their snacks from her curious nose!). Diva is crate trained and does well when crated for short periods, usually just for meals or when her foster is away from home. She’s very food motivated, so she’s always eager to learn, but she should be fed separately as she might try to sneak extra treats from other dogs. With toys, however, she shares well and enjoys playing without issue. Her personality is outgoing, playful, smart, and affectionate. She loves toys, cuddles, and meeting new people — she greets strangers with a friendly, tail-wagging enthusiasm. Diva is still building comfort with car rides, so long adventures will be something she needs to work up to with time. Diva has a few quirks that make her especially endearing. When corrected, she becomes “vocal,” howling as if she’s trying to argue her side of the story — it’s charming and funny, like she’s holding a conversation. Her ideal home would be one where someone is home most of the time to give her the structure, love, and activity she craves. She would do best with regular walks, plenty of playtime, and the chance to sleep close to her people. Loving, lively, and full of personality, Diva is more than ready to find a family of her own. With patience, consistency, and plenty of affection, she will blossom into the perfect companion.

Story
Zeus, 8 months old (est DOB June 2025), neutered male, Retriever mixed breeds, currently weighs 23 pounds. We are a little unsure how big he will get when full grown. We think he is a blend of several breeds which will likely impact his size. He is currently in a foster home in SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS and is able to transport once an adopter is approved. Zeus is an 8-month-old mixed breed puppy who has shown incredible resilience after a very difficult start to life. He and his siblings were abandoned in a wooded area outside San Antonio, where they survived by seeking shelter from the elements and scavenging for food. Thankfully, a Good Samaritan discovered the litter and brought them to safety. Now thriving in a loving foster home, Zeus is learning the comforts and routines of indoor life. He is making great progress with crate training, beginning to understand house manners, and soaking up the joy of toys, soft beds, and regular meals. His foster describes him as affectionate, gentle, and eager to bond, with a naturally sweet and people-oriented personality. Zeus loves car rides (his absolute favorite!), daily walks, and outdoor adventures. He enjoys being close to his people and is a true cuddle bug who melts right into you. With continued structure, positive reinforcement, and opportunities to explore the world, Zeus will continue to grow into a confident and devoted companion. Zeus is: Affectionate and people-focused Progressing well with crate training Learning house manners Gentle, loving, and eager to please A fan of car rides, walks, and outings Expected to be medium-sized when fully grown Zeus also has an identical sister, Athena, who is available for adoption separately. Young, adaptable, and full of love, Zeus would do well in a variety of homes that can offer patience, consistency, and companionship. He’s ready for his forever family and will reward them with loyalty, affection, and a whole lot of heart. Vetting: Up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, dewormed, and neutered. Petfinder Blurb Zeus is a resilient 8-month-old mixed breed puppy who survived abandonment in a wooded area outside San Antonio before a Good Samaritan brought him and his siblings to safety. Now in foster care, he’s learning house manners, crate training, and enjoying the comforts of toys, warm beds, and regular meals. Zeus is a gentle, affectionate love bug who adores car rides, outdoor adventures, and cuddling with his people. He also has an identical sister, Athena, available separately. Zeus is ready for a loving home and will thrive with a family committed to guidance, companionship, and continued training. ***Listed BREED and AGE - We are taking our best guess & recommendations from our veterinarian on age, breed and size when fully grown.
