Story
WE ARE A TX BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN TX AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED UPON ADOPTION. Please fill out an adoption application found at haydudeequine.org Merlin - You are the bridge between what was and what will be, my pathway to a new life! Looking for a new FBF (furry best friend)? Look no further than Merlin (hey, hey, that's me!) and I'm here looking to adopt me a family, a home...one I can say will be all mine! And since you're reading this, I'm hoping that you'll consider making ME a part of yours!!!! I got my name cuz I'm pretty good at magic. I magically appeared in my foster mom's fenced yard and they are still trying to figure that one out. I can also magically fit myself into my favoritest bed from when I was smaller. I'm now ready to start on this new chapter of my life with lots of hugs, puppy kisses and playtime with my new family!!! I'm around 8 months old and I come in at about 30lbs, which should put me at a fantastic size when I get myself all growed up, although I shouldn't get a whole lot bigger(35-40lbs). I love playing and am energetic, ready to share in all your adventures from the mundane daily to your weekend exciting!! I love people both tall and small, love playing with the other pups here at my foster home but I haven't had the pleasure of meeting any of those strange creatures y'all call a cat yet. I have that innocent spirit that loves living life to the fullest, that energy that loves exploring the world around me and that playful demeanor that finds joy in everything!! I am one smart cookie (yes, my foster momma tells me so!) as I'm already house and crate trained and I know how to use the doggie door. That lets us get right to all that fun stuff...right away. I've got a beautiful coat that is pretty easy in the maintenance department, kind of a wash-n-go type of fella. You do know what that means, don't ya? Yep yep, more time for the spoil me rotten department!! I am sooooo ready to unleash all this awesomeness on a family and be that lil heartbeat at your feet, so if you think I'd be a pawsome fit for your home, please stop scrolling and fill out my adoption application! It can be found at haydudeequine.org With lots of sincere tail wags and puppy kisses, Merlin💗💗

Story
Welcome Dixie to CCPAL Rescue. She is a 9-month old Smooth Coated Collie/Kelpie is our best guess on breed. She weighs 50 pounds. She is very very loyal to her people and would be great with someone wanting a dog to go with you places or if you work from home and want a loyal partner. She is crate trained, potty trained, good on a leash and good in a car. She was found as a stray and her foster mom has been putting this girl through dog training. She is doing really good in her classes and is learning some more basic commands. She is a higher energy dog and would be great for a runner, jogger or hiker type person. She is lower on the shed scale. She has a lot of personality and would be fine with children. We like them to be 8 or older. Her best home would be with a fenced yard. She could run and play off some energy. She likes you to be outside with her as she wants to be around her family over exploring the yard all along without you. She would be fine with children as well. We like them to be 8 or older. She is up on her vaccinations, spayed and ready for her forever home. She is in Texas and can be adopted locally or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get her to Washington, Portland(Oregon), Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. We can put you in touch with her foster mom after you put in and get your application approved. We can also set up a meet and greet if you are local in Texas. Her adoption fee is 300 and transport is 200. Contact Marlene at 210-867-1769 or email ccpalinquiries@gmail.com if you have questions. Online applications at www.ccpalrescue.org/ See her cute video.

Good with dogs, Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Jayla was found in January in the freezing rain covered in mud just down the street from my housing area. I brought her home, bathed her, fed her, gave her water and put her in a quiet place in the house to sleep. She slept for over 24 hours. That weekend I took her to the vet to get scanned and she had no microchip. She also got an ultrasound to see if she was pregnant, and sure enough she was; with 9 puppies. She gave birth to those 9 on 2/17/24 and still has larger than life energy. She plays fetch, goes on walks, will snuggle in a lap, on the end of a couch, or at your feet. She is crate trained, knows commands, gets along well with my 2 large dogs, is very energetic and will chase he own tail in excitement. Through SNAP she is currently up to date on vaccinations and has a microchip. Currently on heart-worm & flea prevention.

Story
Hi! I am Athena I was born on February 17, 2024 along with 8 of my other siblings. I was the 5th one born, turned out to be the smallest, but my personality makes up for my size. I LOVE vegetables, fruit, and peanut butter. I enjoy playing with the other dogs in the house, or with my foster mom. Playing outside in the kiddy pool during the summer is my jam! My cutest trait is my nose! I do get easily spooked with new places, so give me time to adjust. I enjoy walks, it’s always a new adventure, even if it’s the same walk. I am crate trained for up to 7 hours.

Story
We found Leeloo wandering the streets of downtown San Antonio. Leeloo is an older dog that has been through a lot in this life. She was found malnourished with a swollen ear and what looks like a broken jaw at one point. We believe she’s about 11-12. She’s an older dog, but she still has that puppy energy that comes out here and there. All she wants is affection, something I don’t think she’s had much of before finding her. Right now, we are looking to find her a more suitable home than ours. We already have two large dogs and being in an apartment makes having three extremely difficult. We love her and planned on keeping her with us but after having her for a few months now, we have come to find it is too much for us. We want to find her someone that can spend more time with her than we can and can have her as their #1. She is the sweetest dog, with a quirky personality. She is an old dog and deserves her last few years to be filled with love.

These pups are in Boerne, Texas too!

Vinnie

Cattle Dog Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium)

Male, 8 yrs 4 mos
Fair Oaks Ranch, TX
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
This sweet boy was pulled from death row at animal control. He and his sister didn't have much time left. Vinnie has a very kind personality, skittish at first but will warm up when he gets to know you. He is a bit frightened of being touched or held so you just have to work with his terms. He will allow affection, but on his terms and when he is in the mood. We assume he did not receive much affection or care, if at all, but he still is just waiting on his forever home to love. Vinnie does like other dogs, loves toys, seems to be crate trained a bit. Vinnie is a great boy, with so much potential in the right home, he would probably do best in a quiet home without small children and he IS a flight risk, and will need an experience adopter. We hope that you will give him a chance.

Story
These lucky girls came to us via a good samaritan. Clara was found first, searching for food by a dumpster. Noell came in 2 days later searching for food by that same dumpster. No Mom to be found. Both girls were full of parasites, lethargic and very hungry. After being vetted they were feeling better and started to show their personalities. Bot girls are super affectionate, playful and smart. . . and they are so soft! If interested in either of these girls please email us. THEY DO NOT HAVE TO BE ADOPTED TOGETHER
