Story
Wattson was a stray that ate scraps at my grandma's house in Mexico. Eventually she had a litter behind her house and her pups started to die. I rescued her and her last pup and brought them home. Wattson is now thriving and she loves to run and chase/bark at squirrels and wild bunnies. She will require a large yard to spend energy in because walks are not quite her enough for her. Wattson is good with other dogs and children, but due to her prey drive may not do well with cats. Although she loves to run, Wattson also loves to be around her person. She will tag along just about anywhere and beg for pets. She also potty trained very quickly but when she is afraid (think thunderstorms, or chasing her if she got out) she is prone to accidents. She does well in a crate overnight though. One of Wattson's favorite things is to be carried, she will hang on to you as long as you are willing to let her. She is not keen of car rides though so lots of love is needed when transported.

Story
This is Hachiko. Hachi for short. He was born on December 28, 2023. He was found walking on Highway I-35 in the north Austin/Cedar Park, Texas area. He had been by himself for a bit. He’s a healthy boy now. He is young, fun, energetic, playful, goofy, so loving, loves to cuddle and stare into your eyes, and has a little separation anxiety. He just started taking obedience training classes, but will need some more basic obedience training. He’s a quick learner. He does very well with other dogs and just always wants to play with them. Hachi will definitely thrive in a home where their human either works from home or has another dog that can be with him while their human is at work. Their human needs to be a big time dog lover- like their dog is their kid type of love. He is the sweetest baby ever.

Story
We’re looking for a loving new home for our sweet 3-year-old female pitty named Goose (she will also respond to Lucy). We got Goose a few months back from the shelter and unfortunately, life plans have changed in a big way. This gentle girl is incredibly affectionate and gets along wonderfully with people and other dogs. She loves cuddles, companionship, and playing. While she’s extremely tolerant (the groomers always rave about how good she is) she would do best in a home without very young children who may be overly grabby and cats or other small animals that aren’t dogs. She would also benefit most from having a female owner, she does have a subtle fear towards men due to her past before the shelter. We would love for her to go to someone with a backyard and ability to provide her with plenty of exercise. We want to make sure she’s going to a safe and caring family, so we’ll be asking to do a meet up beforehand. We will include all her doggy items in the rehoming fee.

Story
!!!URGENT!!! Hi! Chispa is 3 years old and is the sweetest doggie in the world. She is fully vaccinated,spayed,microchipped, and is a healthy doggie. She knows a couple tricks like sit,paw,down and is potty trained. She is friendly towards other dogs.Not sure how she reacts to cats. As for people, she can be a bit shy so she needs time to get adjusted. Once she does adjust she will be a patient and loveable girl. Also,she rarely barks and loves to follow you around the house. Will include all dog supplies.
