APPLICATION LINK: https://shaynesrescue.com/adoption-application/ We must have an application to move forward. (Shayne's Rescue is an affiliate with PetCentralSATX). If there are problems with the website, please email me for help. SHELBY is probably a Dachshund… mixed with a Terrier. DOB: 4/1/24. She currently weighs 20#s and we expect she may get up to 22-24# maximum. She is fun and very happy. She loves playing with the other dogs and leaves my cats alone. She loves to lick…her way of giving affection. She is almost house trained… working on it. She walks on the leash and stays quiet in the kennel. She loves playing with toys and her favorite is an empty water bottle that crackles and makes a lot of noise. She will be good for a family… with older children. I have not had her around very small children. This dog is CURRENTLY IN TEXAS and available for pre-adoption. Adoptions include neuter/spay, vaccinations (DHPP, Bordetella, Rabies), microchip, health certificate, transport with our professional dog transporter, and 6 mos of heart worm prevention. If you have any questions or would like an e-mail from us as to how all of this works, text me (Terry); identify the dog's name and give me your email address... 210-394-6060. You can also go to our Facebook page... https://www.facebook.com/Pet-Central-SATX-866684826744181/ and LIKE us to help us out.

Some dogs/pups have additional medical, including but not limited to FHO, ACL, hernias, dental, and other vetting. All medical records will be provided to the adopter at the time they pick up their dog. This is a post on behalf of Pet Central SATX Rescue, headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, where there are over 350,000 homeless pets. We have hundreds of puppies/dogs available so there really is no need to apply anywhere else. Also, one application is good even if you are interested in several different dogs...one application no matter which one you choose. Thank you for choosing to adopt a rescue pup/dog.

Story
Meet sweet BILLY (aka Oscar weiner dog) who just arrived! Billy is a handsome 3 year old, 21 pound, reddish brown dachshund mix. His foster reports that he is a DREAM! He hasn't had an accident or tried to chew anything, and sleeps through the night in his crate without a peep. Loves a good snuggle on the couch with his humans. He's a gentle playmate with the larger resident dog. Loves to go for walks and is happy to meet anyone that he comes across Poor Billy was surrendered to a rural North Carolina vet office after he was attacked by another dog roaming in a trailer park in this county. The vet treated him for extensive injuries, which have all healed, and reached out for help in getting this very sweet and friendly dog into rescue. With the offer from a great foster home, PetConnect was able to come to his rescue and bring him to the DC area to find his new home that will adore him furever. While he was a country boy, he seems to adapt well to any new environment and thus would seem to be fine in the city or country as well as a home or an apartment. In the comfort of his foster home, he has already learned how good it can be to get belly rubs and cuddle! He likes to go for walks, is a great size, with an adorable very expressive face and eyes. Billy would be a great companion to curl up at your feet on a cool fall evening. ***Please note that the first step is to fill out an application (It does not commit you in anyway but allows us to discuss with you if you and the dog are a good fit). In addition, an important step in approving adoption applicants is to complete a vet check to ensure that your current and previous pet(s) are kept up to date on vaccines (including rabies ) , spayed or neutered, maintained on appropriate monthly preventatives and examined annually by your vet.*** Billy is neutered and up-to-date on vaccines. The adoption fee for this dog is $425 which includes routine vetting and spay/neuter. PetConnect Rescue cannot guarantee the exact breed of any animal in our care. The breed listed is based on any background we may have been provided, and the general appearance of the animal at the time they enter our system. For more information, please email Robin at kinstondogs@verizon.net **If you're viewing this on Petfinder, please visit www.petconnectrescue.org to complete our non-binding application.**

Story
Hi, it’s nice to meet you, I’m LeBron, a 3 year old, 17 lb., dachshund/chi mix. I don’t remember much about my former life, but I’m glad to be with A Home of Their Own Animal Rescue to find my forever home. I’m a little shy around new people given all the changes I’ve been through. I’ve been in a couple of foster homes before, and I discovered that I feel more comfortable around adults and older children. Younger children scare me with their quick, sometimes unpredictable movements. I am looking for a forever home that is quiet, patient and loving. I am housetrained so that's a plus! I like crates because they feel so cozy and safe. That said, I may need some coaxing in the beginning to get out of my crate and into the world.  Like LeBron James, I jump up high in the sky and am very high energy so will do best in a home with people that are active and can give me plenty of exercise and enrichment! That's why my foster dad named me LeBron! Also, a home with people that are home often would be nice too because I tend to get attached to my people. They make me feel safe! I'm still working on being protective of my people. I try to remember that no one is going to take them from me but it's definitely a work in progress. I know I will grow used to being around new faces; I just need people that will be patient with me so I can learn to feel safe and secure in this world. I’m a sensitive guy with a big heart once I trust someone. Are you that forever trustworthy person I’m looking for?! ##2039331##
