Story
**Courtesy Post** Valentine lost the person she loved most in the world, her owner died. Valentine is 6-7 years old. She is spayed and up to date on her shots. Her owner had been sick for a long time and when they passed away it left Valentine in need of a new home. Valentine was very protective of my sister and will need patience to gain trust again. She is understandably confused and sad. A home visit and vet reference are required to adopt her. Valentine needs a securely fenced yard, but she definitely needs to be an indoor dog. She requires a home with no kiddos and no cats. Other dogs are ok as long as they are male dogs. Her adopter must be able to drive to the Georgetown, Texas area to get her. There is a small rehoming fee. If you are interested in giving Valentine a forever home, please contact her owner at dwdulle@gmail.com and they will email you an adoption application.

Story
Arlo is undergoing Parvo treatment through APA! and is expected to make a full recovery. They are not quite out of the woods yet and will need a few more days to complete treatment before leaving the Parvo ward; but that doesn't mean they can't start getting the word out that they need an adopter lined up for when they are ready to leave on 11/25/24! If you would be interested in learning more about me you can email Matchmaker@austinpetsalive.org or come to the shelter and ask to meet them. Please be aware that they absolutely cannot go home until 11/25/24, or until they test negative, but we will be taking 1-2 people's information to be lined up for their adoption.

Story
JJ was rescued along with his brother shadow after being dumped on someones land and about to be shot. Jack is a very vocal baby that will speak to you all the time. He is great at alerting when someone is at the door and when he wants to go outside. He does not do well with loud noises as he watched his other 2 brothers be shot. He is very timid at first but will warm up to you with patience and time. He is house trained and knows basic commands. He is very food and treat motivated. He needs a home with loving people that will show him what it is like to be their forever baby. He needs a family that is patient with him. He loves to cuddle on the sofa or on you where he can dig his nose into your hair.

Story
Molly is my old mama's favorite animal, and has been for over six years (Molly is 7). Mom is moving into the old folks home, and they only allow pets up to five pounds. Family cannot take Molly, although we would love to. So we are looking for a happy family for our happy dog. She is an energetic creature. She has funny crooked front feet, but the vets all say that it is not a problem for her mobility, nor do they expect it to be. It definitely does not slow her down. She is a very smart dog, and she is the sweetest creature that you will ever meet. We all hate to give her up, but we just aren't allowed to keep her. Molly has been in faaaaaaaarrr west Texas for the past couple of years, so although she has recieved good care throughout her life, vaccinations, etc. weren't easily obtained in the middle of the desert, so she is behind on a few shots. Despite her travels, she is a happy and healthy doggy. She is mostly Jack Russell, but some other stuff is in there, not sure what.

Wattson

Jack Russell Terrier

Female, Adult
Round Rock, TX
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
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.

Marshall

Jack Russell Terrier

Male, 2 mos
Leander, TX
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Like a sweet little toasted marshmallow! Marshall’s cute white with brown markings remind us of a perfectly toasted marshmallow, and this guy is just as sweet as one too! Marshall is a curious, playful boy who loves playing with toys and his foster brothers and sisters. He is easily one of the best cuddlers we’ve seen, always up for a good snuggle. A fenced yard Marshall can run and play in would be great. He does well with the kids in his foster home, but we’re recommending children over age 5 since young kiddos can overwhelm a small puppy (and vice versa). Marshall’s adoption fee of $400 includes vet exam, age appropriate vaccinations, fecal test, wormer, heart worm preventative, neuter, microchip and pain medication. Austin, TX area adoptions preferred. Also, a fenced yard and children over 7 as he is still a puppy. Go to our website for more pictures of Marshall.

Story
Have you ever in your life seen such a sweet smile???? My name is Hailey and I am a 3-5 year old  female terrier mix weighing in around 19 pounds. My owner had to surrender me to a shelter because she didn’t have enough money to take care of me properly. It made me very sad but she was doing what she thought was best in a bad situation. The good news is the ladies from Paws in Prison snatched me up in a heartbeat so I could get a new forever home that has at least one human that loves to give belly rubsJ!!!!! While I’m at Paws in Prison they will teach me all of my basic obedience commands, crate and potty train me, teach me to walk on a leash and I’ll get a thorough vet check including microchipping. A sweet small dog like me won’t last long so please fill out an adoption application today so I can smile for your camera!!! ##2222488##

These pups are in Austin, Texas too!

Story
Sitter needed: 11/23/24 - 12/03/24 Meet Atlas, a playful little bundle of joy! Atlas loves spending time around other dog friends, especially playing with his foster brother at home. When he goes on walks he might get a little over excited and bark, but does great when being redirected with treats! In the little exposure he has had being around children, he was super calm and relaxed and was very sweet with them. Atlas does great when his humans are away and loves sleeping in his crate at night. He has been house trained and does an excellent job at indicating when he needs to go to the bathroom. Unfortunately, Atlas does live with chronic kidney failure, but he doesn't let that impede on his happy way of life! He loves zooming around with his new chew toys and giving kisses, and makes a great snuggle buddy! Come on by to learn more about Atlas!

Story
Meet Pip, a lovable 2-year-old tripod whose heart is as big as his playful energy! Pip's journey hasn't been easy, but he's taken every challenge in stride, now thriving with a tail that never stops wagging. He's discovered his love for toys, zoomies, and attention, showing all the goofy charm of a young dog who's just learned how fun life can be. Pip thrives on companionship, and there's nothing he loves more than being by your side, ready for a cuddle or a game. When playtime is over, he's a champion napper, lounging on the couch and snoring up a storm. Pip is a quick learner and has made great progress with his training-he's mastered 'sit', 'down', and 'stand up' and is practicing his door and leash manners, showing his polite, eager-to-please nature. He's house-trained,is gentle with his toys, and tolerates being left in his crate when his foster mom is at work. Pip would thrive in a home with someone who can continue his training and give him plenty of love and attention. Pip is a brave three-legged pup who lost a leg after surviving a traumatic injury. Because of his past, he's understandably cautious around strangers and would feel most comfortable in a calm, low-traffic home where he has the space and time to relax and feel safe. He's not a dog who loves bustling public spaces or big social gatherings but he's incredibly affectionate and playful in a familiar setting, bonding deeply with those he trusts. Whether he's entertaining you with his antics or melting into your lap after a long day, Pip is the kind of companion who fills your home with laughter and warmth. Could you be the one to give this sweet and joyful pup the safe and loving home he truly deserves?
