Story
Say hello to Otis! Hi, Otis! Sweet, funny, floppy, smart OTIS! This very good boi is looking for his furever home and happy ending. Somehow, this perfect pup ended up on the mean streets of Central Texas, running with a pack of hooligan dogs, staying together for safety, and trying to survive the next day without being run over by cars or eaten by coyotes. Fast-forward: After a good Samaritan coordinated an epic rescue mission, a pack of pups ended up in the San Marcos shelter. So many of Otis' friends were adopted, but this gentle, delicate soul was NOT cut out for shelter life. He was scared and shut down, and no one wanted to look at just ANOTHER pointy black dog at ANOTHER shelter. Fast forward AGAIN, and Otis' officially got his big break: Otis was pulled from the shelter and ended up in a loving foster home in (OF ALL PLACES) a BULLDOG rescue. So, he's part bulldog, too (by family, if not by blood!)! Otis has BLOSSOMED in his loving foster home. He is SO SO SMART and is the PERFECT dog for an active family who wants a REAL DOG who can do all the things. He WANTS to walk, run, PLAY, and LEARN. He would LOVE another playful, active dog to call his own, and he is so handsome that he is 100% ready to be YOUR Instagram-famous dog!

Come meet the goofiest, most loving boy there is! Chapo is incredibly affectionate and loves his people hard. He's happiest going on long walks and being someone's constant companion, whether out exploring the world or watching TV on the couch. Chapo could not be easier to please - walks, treats, cuddle time, or even just keeping a hand on him is all he needs to be content. He truly just wants someone to return all the love he's been waiting patiently to give. Chapo is potty-trained, eager to learn, incredibly loyal and playful, and has tons of doggie friends at playgroup! Despite his large size, Chapo likes to pretend that he's a lap dog and is easy to manage, letting his friends bathe him and clip his nails without resistance. You'll know you're friends once he flops all over you: whether sitting on your feet, throwing a paw across your leg, or just sleeping entirely on top of you, Chapo loves to show how much he cares about his people. Check out his Instagram @adopt_chapo to see him showing off his sweet and silly side!

Story
Ike is an 11 year old lab/shepherd mix who thinks he’s still a puppy. He’s been with me since he was 1, rescued from a shelter. Ike needs a lot of play time and attention, but also loves to couch rest. And sing. He should have been an opera singer. In all his years he’s never shown any signs of aggression. Will bark occasionally when he’s spooked or wants something but not incessantly. Speaks fluent dog and human. Spent the majority of his life (8+ years) living with another full size dog and several cats. Ike will destroy anything directly handed to him, though chewing has never been an issue. No guarding or food aggression has ever been observed. He’s content to be left alone at home for a whole work day without incident. He has a mass on his lower abdomen the vet is not worried about, and can sprain his ankle easily.

Story
Meet Thor Introducing Thor, the big and friendly dog with a heart of love! This squishy pup is a great companion for anyone who loves big, playful dogs. Thor is a natural social butterfly and loves spending time with other dogs, making him a great fit for households with multiple pets. He loves being in the house and is quick to make himself at home. Thor is being fostered in a home in Seguin, TX and is available to adopt out of state but needs to be an only dog as a meet and greet is required. Thor is a dog who's always up for an adventure, and he particularly loves car rides. He jumps into the car with ease and settles in for the ride, making him the perfect companion for road trips and outings with the family. With his love for exploration, we recommend a high fence for this big boy. But Thor isn't just about fun and games; he's also a well-trained pup who knows how to sit and walks well on a leash. He's always eager to learn new things and is a quick study. With his love of learning and eagerness to please, Thor is a great candidate for agility training. While in the house, Thor is content in a kennel or just laying on the couch. And let's not forget, Thor loves attention and is a big snuggler. Whether it's curling up on the couch for a movie night or cuddling in bed, Thor loves being close to his humans and soaking up all the love and affection. In short, Thor is a big and friendly dog who's always ready for fun and adventure. If you're looking for a loyal and playful companion who's great with other pets, loves car rides, and enjoys a good snuggle, then Thor is the perfect fit for you!

Story
Chase is a wonderful dog....he has all the physical characteristics of a Belgian Malinois...lanky and graceful...but not the high prey drive bred into this breed. Have you ever wanted to share your home with one of these magnificent dogs, but not the intense qualities that are chosen for drug detection work by the FBI. Chase is happy playing ball or going on a nice walk and then curling up to watch the FBI on tv with you, not engaging in going after criminals in real life.  He is gorgeous and fun, a super lovable lean and attractive doggy. Chase has glowing reports from his foster home. He loves car rides, is fully crate trained, quiet for a GSD breed! Super people and dog friendly. Chase came from Palm Valley where he was shutting down after being relinquished to the high kill shelter by his family. Like so many beautiful dogs, Chase did nothing wrong to be let down by his humans.  We have an excellent foster program which allows us to help another dog from another high kill area. Please consider sharing your home with our boy, Chase. May 23, 2024, 3:59 pm
