Story
***This dog is housed at the Rochester Animal Control facility. In order to meet her, you need to submit an adoption application first. Applications can be found on the homepage of the Paws and Claws website. Once you submit an application, a PCHS staff member will contact you with next steps to meet her.***Meet Kylie Jenner!This beautiful girl was surrendered to Animal Control when her owners could no longer care for her. This bummed her out a bit but she is hopeful she will be able to find a new home very soon. Kylie has been nervous since being in the shelter, and who can blame her? But slowly and surely she is warming up to the officers and learning the routine.Kylie would benefit from an owner that has Cattle Dog/herding dog experience as has a lot of very stereotypical `herding dog traits`. For example... she is very smart, stubborn, and opiniated. With the right owner, she would make a great companion for roaming around the farm, patrolling a large fenced in yard, or learning agility!If Kylie seems like a good fit for you, apply online today!Adoption fee is $300 + $30 microchip fee + tax

Story
🎉 Meet Casper — the shy guy with the heart of gold (and the soul of a professional belly-rub enthusiast)! 🎉 Casper is a one-year-old Cattle Dog mix who’s trading in his “crowded roommate lifestyle” (he used to live with 15 other dogs!) for a cozier setup with a human or two who appreciate his charm and cuddles. He was politely “evicted” from his old digs, but honestly — we think it’s the best thing that could’ve happened to him. New chapter, new leash on life! 🐾 Casper is currently working on perfecting his leash skills. Translation: he’s figuring out that leashes aren’t snakes and walks are actually kinda fun. He’s even started going potty on leash — what a star student! 🌟 Once he decides you’re one of the good ones, he’ll roll over and demand belly rubs like a total pro. This sweet boy can get a little overwhelmed by dogs who are too ‘in your face,’ so he appreciates calm canine friends and people who understand gentle encouragement. Slow, positive introductions help him feel safe and confident. In his foster home, he’s done great with one or two relaxed dogs who respect his space. If you love a shy-but-silly pup who just needs a little time to come out of his shell (and into your lap), Casper might just be your guy. Once he trusts you, he’ll give you his whole heart — and maybe even let you pick the Netflix show. 💫 👉 Apply to adopt Casper at: www.campcompanion.org 💰 Adoption fee: $350 plus tax

Story
Hi, I’m Olive! 🫒 What do you need to know about me? Well to start off, in super public places I get pretty scared. The first part of my life was a little rocky, and I didn't get to socialize as much, so public spaces overwhelm me. BUT in my foster house I’m a playful, loving girl whose foster parents say is SMART! I love learning new tricks- I know how to sit, shake, touch, jump, and play with my ball launcher. My foster mom and I have a lot of fun learning new tricks together! Our latest adventure is agility work. In the house, I’m ALL about the fun. I love playing fetch (seriously, I could do it for hours), playing with my toys, and when the weather is nice, HIKING! I love to hit those trails! I also get along great with my furry foster siblings and would love a friend to play with! I’m a gem. I’m sweet, affectionate, and happiest when I’m following my people around or getting some good butt scratches. I do well in my kennel too! I can be nervous in new situations or around new people, so be ready to be a little extra patient right away whenever I encounter a change in life! If you’re looking for a loyal and active companion, I might be your girl. 💕 Apply to meet me at campcompanion.org. Adoption fee is $350 plus tax.

Story
Meet Frannie 🐾 Frannie is a young cattle dog mix with a big heart and classic puppy energy. She’s affectionate, playful, and loves being around people and other dogs. Frannie does best with plenty of physical exercise, mental enrichment, and lots of durable chew toys to keep her busy and happy. She’s still working on her basic manners and will need continued training, especially with leash skills. Frannie can be a little anxious and may take some time to settle into a new home, so a patient adopter who understands the importance of decompression time will help her thrive. Because she can be vocal, a home without shared walls is ideal. Frannie plays well with other dogs and would enjoy having a canine companion, though it’s not required. She’s been exposed to cats and does well with children ages 4 and up. Her new home will need a 48” crate and an understanding of herding breeds and their unique needs. Adoption fee $350. Apply to adopt at campcompanion.org.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Lyra is about 2 years old and looks to be a shepherd/heeler type mix. She was found running loose, held for the LEGAL stray hold, and never claimed. She is very shy but becomes very loyal and loving companion once she's comfortable and secure. Lyra has been vet checked, spayed, chipped, and her fee is $150. Lyra has been adopted a couple of times and returned as she just hasn't been able to find the right fit yet. She is incredibly smart and learns quickly. However she does possess quite a few of the intense traits of a herding breed type dog. She is laser focused and needs both mental and physical exercise. She would love to have some type of job to do and would probably be a great candidate for agility training. She does tend to bond quite closely to one or two people and can be protective and territorial. Lyra needs an ADULT only home. She needs someone who is experience with herding breed types and their quirky personalities. She would love a home that is ready, willing, and able to continue with her training and helping her gain confidence. FENCED YARD needed. Lyra has done well with well mannered MALE dogs who respect her space. She does enjoy playing with other dogs once she's comfortable. Cats? Most likely a no. Cuddling is one of her favorite things. She's also in need of a home in which she won't be left alone for long hours. NOTE:  Adoptions are done via private appointment once an application has been completed and approved. Applications can be submitted at our website, mchs.rescuegroups.org. We are located at 101 22nd St. SE in Austin, right next to the airport. It's exit 180B off of I-90, right off of 218 South. We do require that potential adopters be at least 21 years old and that any resident dogs be up to date on vaccinations, heartworm testing/preventative, and spayed or neutered.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.August 13, 2025, 3:41 pm

Story
Bear is a 4 year old Australian Shepherd who is incredibly smart, affectionate, and full of energy. He is the kind of dog who wants to be involved in everything you do and will happily soak up all the love and attention you can give. When his needs are met, he is a super cuddly companion who truly enjoys being close to his people. As an Australian Shepherd, Bear needs an active lifestyle and plenty of mental and physical outlets. He would thrive in a home with a securely fenced yard where he can run, play, and burn off energy, along with daily walks and ongoing engagement. An experienced, very active home that understands working breeds would be the best fit for him. Bear must go to a home with no kids. He does live with another dog. He does very well at daycare and boarding. On leash, he can be reactive and will bark at other dogs, as well as at the TV and out the window, so continued structure and guidance will help him succeed. Bear is looking for a committed home that can give him the exercise, enrichment, and affection he deserves. In return, he will give endless loyalty, cuddles, and companionship. Adoption fee is $350+tax, please apply at www.campcompanion.org

Story
Meet Theodore Roosevelt, better known as Teddy. Teddy is a one year old Australian Shepherd who is very much a classic example of the breed. He is intelligent, energetic, driven, and always looking for a job. Teddy is not a couch potato and will thrive in a home that understands the physical and mental needs of an Australian Shepherd. As a young dog, Teddy will need continued training, structure, and clear boundaries. He is smart and eager, but that intelligence means he needs guidance to channel his energy appropriately. Consistent training and enrichment will be key to helping Teddy become his best self. Teddy would do best in a home with prior Australian Shepherd or similar herding breed experience. An active household that enjoys training, outdoor activities, and providing mental stimulation will be essential for his success. He is not an ideal fit for a first time dog owner or a low activity home. With the right environment, Teddy has the potential to be an incredible companion for someone who appreciates the wonderful, challenging, and rewarding nature of the breed.
