Meet Mitzy:

 8 year old Female Sharpei Mix who weighs 55 lbs

Her Energy level is on the low side and she's quite compatible with other dogs and kids but not with cats

Mitzy is fully crate and house trained

She is a very quiet dog. Would do great in a small living area but doesn't have to be. She does well on the leash and is learning new tricks daily. She is not a water dog, no interest in the pool at all. Mitzy is not the type of dog to climb on furniture as she is perfectly happy sleeping on the floor. She likes chewing on  bones from time to time, other than that she is a very low maintenance dog.

Meet Sam:

Fantastic Sam is a pretty mellow guy that likes to give kisses. He is also quite photogenic, as one can see from his picture. And he has these adorable little freckles on both his nose and his lips. Fantastic Sam is very people oriented and seems to prefer them over any feline companionship. While he does do fine with other cats, he is a very confident cat himself. So, if there are already cats in the home, he would do best with other confident or independent cats. Please note: Fantastic Sam is diabetic and requires daily insulin, which is easy to administer. Our adoption consultants can elaborate on what this diagnosis means for Fantastic Sam and the family that adopts him. Fantastic Sam wants to make sure we tell you that he is currently living in a foster home so contact us to schedule a meet and greet with this handsome guy. He knows his perfect family is looking for him and will find him soon. Maybe it's you.

Meet Kai:

Kai is such a cute sleeper, I can’t stop taking photos of her snoozin! She loves affection and food- hey girl me too! She walks politely on leash, is quiet in her kennel and pretty calm and quiet overall. 

We’re workin hard on potty training- she isn’t sure how to ask to go out but we’ve gotten on a potty schedule and we’re figuring it out together. Her forever home should be prepared to continue to work with her on this, and I am totally available with advice. 

Kai took about two full weeks to fully decompress in my home. She would do best in a calm household with older kids and submissive/calm dogs. She’s great with cats, but will bark at birds.

Meet Beau:

This boy has been through a lot. He was uprooted from the family that he knew and loved because his owner had to go to assisted living and could not take him. 

His owner's family already had a FULL plate on their hands and knew that they could not give Beau the life that he deserved so they asked Follow Your Heart to help find him the right home. 

It was very hard on Beau's dad, on Beau, and his extended family members because of the many changes. 

Who wants to make this Happy, LOVING, Snuggly, Amazing boy part of their family. He deserves to have a permanent place that he can call home again.

Meet Landry:

Landry is a fun 2-1/2 year old 12 pound Chihuahua who is looking for his forever home.  Landry is living in a foster home with other dogs and is currently living his best life, which he hopes to continue in a new forever home.  His foster dad says that Landry is a very personable dog who gets along great with his dog, and they play together very nicely. Landry sleeps on the bed at night with foster dad and the other dogs in the home. He is potty trained and he uses the doggy door. He likes playing with toys, and he's very loving and affectionate. He is a great little dog who would love to meet you!  Landry has been in a home with cats but he tends to chase them, so he'd prefer his next home to be feline-free.  He is on medication to regulate seizures, and the medication is very inexpensive. Landry will need a family willing to open their home and their hearts to him, and give him the spoiled life he deserves.  Landry is at our adoption center every Saturday, but you can come see us during the week or email us at FFLdogs@azfriends.org to set up an appointment to meet him during the week.

Meet Rolanda:

Rolanda was adopted as a kitten from Friends for Life, but fate brought her back to us recently as a stray. This independent girl is looking for a forever home that can accommodate her outstanding personality and slight, visual impairment. Rolanda is a sweet lover and, as an older cat, she can be a bit grumpy at first, but quickly warms up to people and other mature cats. Rolanda likes her space but is drawn to friendly voices and needs cuddles. She has had a tough go at life and has the scars to prove it but that does not stop her from being a loving companion. In her forever home, she will sit next to you on the couch, hang out on the bed, and be a buddy who will always be nearby, as she is full of trust and love. She is great with other older, independent cats like her, and will do her best in an adult only home. Rolanda is visually impaired in one eye, but has no issues navigating stairs, cat forts and her favorite window perches to meow, squeak, and chirp at the birds outside. She relies on lifelong daily eyedrops for Glaucoma, which she tolerates well. This confident lady will need a calm and predictable home with a family that will allow her time to transition and warm up to them, but she will give her all as she seeks human contact and affection. Rolanda is currently living in a foster home so contact us to arrange a meet and greet with this sweet girl.

Meet Batman:

(Batty, B-Man) - This gorgeous gray tabby is a purr and play machine. He'll snuggle for hours and make you smile just by watching him explore. Batman is athletic, sweet, and incredibly cute. This baby will greet you at the door and play with the clothes while you're doing laundry. Love and cuddling galore! Due to his age, he would benefit from having another feline companion to romp with and also snuggle up to when the humans are busy. He has been right next to his brother, Robin, since birth and the two are best friends, a perfect pair, what a combo!

Meet Robin:

 (RoRo) - This beautiful gray tabby makes it hard not to smile! He's just so full of curiosity, adoration, purrs, and gentility. Robin will snuggle into you for the whole day if you let him, and he'll also never pass up some quality play time. This little boy is ideal for anyone, as you'll never find an animal or person he doesn't like. Even though he loves all people, he would benefit from having another feline companion to romp and wrestle with. RoRo has been with his brother, Batman since birth, they ARE a dynamic duo. Their personalities are both outstanding and they play wonderfully with each other. Time to take the Gotham Boyz home!

Meet Chocolate & Spice:

This precious duo lost the only home and person they have ever known which is why they are here with us. They are 12 years old and are bonded so they will only be placed in a home together. They both love walks, still play with toys and have fit right in here with our other little dogs. They sleep together curled up in a chair at night and we can only imagine they are dreaming of their forever home. Chocolate does need to lose a little bit of weight and is taking a daily medication to bring her liver levels down. We are hopeful with the proper diet and exercise she will not need the medication in the future. Please consider welcoming this sweet senior pair into your life.

Meet Ruby:

Hello my name is Ruby. I was found on a hiking trail in Palos Verdes with two of my siblings. We were lucky he decided to take us home and raise us. Don’t let my small size fool you. Not only am I the most energetic kitten in my family but I’m also the most confident. I love playing. I play with people, my siblings, with shoes and I haven’t found a real kitten toy that I don’t like. I can be snuggly too! I am most snuggly when I’m tired and at night. That’s when I purr a lot! Even when I see one of my siblings getting some extra love I will purr because I know how great it feels. I am a complete package. Adorable, social, litter box trained, spayed, vaccinated, and ready for my new forever home. At my age having a companion with an equal amount of energy would really be great. I hope I get to live with one of my siblings!

Meet Sparkle:

Hi my name is Sparkle! Just like my name, my personality is brilliant. I was found on a hiking trail in Palos Verdes with two of my siblings. We were lucky he decided to take us home and raise us. I am as lovable as I am playful. Sleeping by my foster parent’s feet or snuggling with my siblings are two of my favorite pastimes. Don’t let my soft and calm looking face fool you though. I am always up for some fun. I love chasing a string or wand toy and I can entertain myself with a ball (or even a fallen potato skin). I love playing with my siblings the most. I am a complete package. As cute as can be, social, litter box trained, spayed, vaccinated, and ready for my new forever home. At my age having a companion with an equal amount of energy would really be great. I hope I get to live with one of my siblings!

Meet Bruiser:

Clever, curious, and charming are just a few words we use to describe Bruiser. He is barely 10 pounds, 4 years old, and perhaps a rat terrier mix. He jumps for joy when anyone enters; he loves chasing toys; he walks wonderfully on a leash; and he puts on quite a zoomie show, especially when he has an audience. His person is no longer able to care for him, which is why he is with us. We think this little cutie would make a wonderful addition to any family.   

Home (brittanyfoundationonline.org

Meet Melinda:

Melinda was picked up as a stray and brought to a county shelter in December of 2021, so we are getting closer to a year now. She was there for several weeks and no one came for her. That was when the Brittany Foundation welcomed her and discovered she has an enlarged heart and elevated liver levels. She is taking daily medication for each and doing great. They also just found out she has Cushing’s Disease so another daily pill has been added to manage that as well.
We think she is about 9 years old and a Cocker Spaniel, which is one of the worlds most beloved and sought after breeds. She just had eye surgery to remove a small mass and had her teeth cleaned. Melinda will need to stay on heart & liver medication as well as an eye ointment to help with dry eye. So for these reasons she is considered special needs.
We can tell you in spite of these things, she is happiest when she is near a person & gets along just fine with other dogs!

If you want to try to buy my love, treats and/or food works purrfectly. I LOVE a good treat! I’m super playful. I enjoy running, jumping and wrestling with my sisters and my big cat foster dad. I keep trying to snuggle with my foster dog, but she is not as keen on it as I am. I am just as happy to snuggle up on a warm human lap. I am a complete package. Handsome, social, litter box trained, neutered, vaccinated, and ready for my new forever home. At my age having a companion with an equal amount of energy would really be great. I hope I get to live with one of my siblings!

Meet Zoey:

She has been with us for over 2 years and we are at a loss as to why? She is stunning, athletic and loves every person she meets. We know placing a dog as an only dog makes adoptions more difficult but we just know the perfect home is out there for her. We know she needs a very active home and life. She has loads of energy and potential. We are certain there are no limits to what she can learn, she's that smart. We do know she needs space to run and walls to keep her safe. She can easily scale a 6 foot wall. She just breaks our hearts because she is just 3 years old and has now lived 90% of her young life in a shelter or rescue. She deserves so much more.

Meet Lady Di:

  Get close enough and this young lady will let out a soft meow to inform you that pets are most welcome. Lady Di is very befitting of her name - distinguished and agreeable. She is always calm, cool, and collected. Never demanding but always ready to give and receive love. Lady Di made a Hermosa Beach neighborhood her “home”. Everyone enjoyed her company. When one of the residents noticed she may be pregnant, one of our fabulous foster moms agreed to take her in. A few days later, she gave birth to 6 beautiful kittens. She was a great Mom and now that her babies are weaned, it’s Lady’s time to shine in a permanent home of her own. She enjoys sitting on a perch to observe the outside world but a warm lap is even better. If you are looking for a loving lap kitty who will be totally content just being with you, Lady is the girl for you. She is FeLV+ and would love to be your one and only or a BFF for another FeLV+ cat.

Meet Bowie:

This little guy is Bowie. We pulled him from a county shelter over 3 years ago with his son. His son was diagnosed with an inoperable cancer and passed away in 2019.
Bowie never gets any interest 🥲. He does take a minute to warm up to men and we think would be best as an only dog. He is one of our longest residents here and we would love to see him live the years he has left in a cozy and loving home. We think he is 11 years old, only weighs 10lbs and is probably Chi and Corgi. He walks great on a leash, loves toys and keeps his room here incredibly neat. Thank you for helping Bowie be seen. ❤️

Meet Chicka & Twin:

Disney dog alert: Chicka could be a movie star. Not only is she stunning, she gets along great with other dogs and loves everyone she meets. We think she is about 3 years old and is a terrier mix. We think we see a little Shih Tzu in her too, but she weighs a healthy 40 pounds, so that has us a little perplexed. Both her and her best friend Twin are here because they were living in a home that had way too many dogs in it, over 20. We believe she would do best in a home with other dogs. She is an absolute delight and whoever is fortunate enough to welcome her into their family will certainly be blessed.

Meet Gracie:

Gracie is a beautiful, confident young lady with striking tabby markings. She is a confident girl who loves to sit up high and watch what’s going on in the room. Gracie is affectionate with every person she meets. Napping in a comfy bed or a box of craft paper is one of her favorite pastimes. A good brushing and some chin scratches are sure to get her motor running. Gracie is an easy-going gal who could smoothly join a household with another resident cat with a similar personality or a respectful dog. She would also do equally well on her own.

 She was found running in traffic with her two pups. Poor thing came to the Fort Pierce Animal Rescue Center with yeast infections on her neck and ears. The good folks at the shelter are so glad she and her babies found their way to a safe place!
Betsy is very sweet, always leaning in with soft tail wags and quite gentle when given treats as you can see from her video. She also prefers soft toys for playing to match her personality.
We don't know when life got so hard on her, but at some point she was trained to know "sit" "shake" and "lay down." Just check out her video and see. We hope her new family can teach her what it means to be loved!
She is good with other dogs and kids. Not cat tested. Very gentle, mellow soul!

Meet Timber:

Timber is an optimistic ~3YO male Hound/Terrier mix who came to us as a stray. He has been with us for over 500 days patiently waiting for his forever family to come and find him. We can't imagine why he has been here this long, as he is such a sweet boy!
This confident guy already knows basic commands like "sit," "give," and "leave it".
He is looking forward to finding his forever family to play with or just hang around with - whatever you want to do is cool with him. He will rough house if you want but settles quickly. He also loves playing fetch and chewing on toys. He gets along with most other calm respectful dogs and we think he would be fine with kids who were familiar with dogs too!
Cutest Features: Timber "sploots" - lays flat on his belly with his hind legs way out behind him when he is relaxed and content. He also has the cutest wrinkles in his cheeks when he smiles 
Favorite Games/Toys: Loves playing fetch with tennis balls and chewing soft stuffed toys.
Good with Dogs?: Most, as long as respectful
Good with Kids?: Older kids yes, younger kids if familiar with dogs
Good with Cats?: Unknown

Meet Bruno:

We love to talk about Bruno, as a matter of fact, we can’t say enough about Bruno. Bruno arrived at Houndhaven through no fault of his and we are all wondering how it’s possible that he is still here. His previous owners could not keep him because they had family members that were allergic to him. He was in a foster home for a bit of time and then came to Houndhaven. His funny puppy antics have made him a volunteer favorite.

Bruno is a handsome one-year-old black lab. He is super sweet and playful and is definitely the life of the party. He has enjoyed playing with other dogs while at Houndhaven and loves playing fetch and with squeaky toys. Not only is Bruno handsome, but he’s also smart too. Bruno had actually been through a training course in the past and knows some commands but is sure to learn more once he is with his forever family.

Bruno walks nicely on a leash but will pull to get to squirrels or cats. Who can blame him? They are pretty interesting! He loves people and getting lots of attention. Bruno gives big hugs and kisses. He is looking for a family that will love his fun personality and sweet disposition. If you’ve been looking for a very handsome good boy, Bruno will make you most happy! Please visit www.houndhaven.org to review our adoption policies and procedures and to complete an application.

Ozzy is a high energy pup and loves to play! His favorite activity includes chasing tennis balls, and no matter how tired he is, he will always fetch! Ozzy is a strong boy but walks well on a leash and we're now working on "Sit, Stay" commands!

Ozzy is in great shape with a beautiful golden coat. He appears to be potty-trained and waits for our volunteers to walk him to use the bathroom. Ozzy is dog selective and seems more open to a female dog companion. He does not like felines so he needs a cat-free home.

Meet Travis:

This sweet old man is about 11 years old and weighs only 7 lbs! He is a little Miniature Pinscher with a big heart.
Travis was found August 1st wandering on the busy streets of Miami dazed and confused. Luckily he was uninjured and brought to safety.
Travis' initial vet visit went well. Considering his age, he is in good health. Travis recieved all his vaccines, microchip and got a nice teeth cleaning. He's ready for his furever home. Travis came with a little friend attached to his ear, but the doctor said its only a growth and is cosmetic so no need for surgery.
Although heartworm negative, Travis does have a grade 4 heart murmur and will have to be kept on heart meds indefinitely. Nothing slows this guy down and he's always ready to be on the move! He is a little guy and seems a little wobbly walking (old age) but he is fast and gets to where he wants to go. You wouldn't even think he's 11 years old! He loves going for walks outside.
His foster mom says that Travis is such a good little dog and will make any family fall in love with him. Travis appears to be hard of hearing but his other senses overcompensate for the lack of it. He is great with young kids, dogs, and cats. He LOVES to be swaddled and carried like the baby he thinks he is!
Foster mom lets him have run of her kitchen and he does well and sleeps in his bed. She says he does not like being in a crate and will cry but she says a crate is not even necessary for him.
Travis knows to go potty outside and is overall a quiet dog who loves love.
Travis has been with us for quite a while and we're hoping his new family will find him and let him carry out his golden years.

Meet Turk:

Turk between 1 and 2yo neutered male Terrier mix

Found as a stray

He is super friendly and energetic and loves every human and dog he meets. He seems hyper but shelter life is no good for him. He needs a fenced yard to run and play in. 

Great family dog with 8yo and up children due to his exuberance. He will most likely settle down as he gets used to a home life and ages. Turk is just a happy go lucky kind of dog. He'd probably do better having a fursibling than being an only dog.

I’m a beautiful nine-year-old girl who has recently been coping with vestibular syndrome. My head is slightly tilted and I walk a little unsteadily right now but I will get better.

Meet Rico:

5-year-old Terrier Pitbull Mix/53 lbs

Rico is a laid-back curious boy who quickly settles down for scratches and hugs. He's happy about everything and always wagging his tail! He absolutely loves hanging out in the yard and playing with balls of any size.
Rico is one of our longest residents, and he has been patiently waiting for someone to come and choose him. He came to us as a stray in March 2021, and he really needs a home of his own! This happy guy is easy-going, and while strong on the leash he is overall mild-mannered and will lay down once he has investigated everything.
He would do best in a home where he is the only dog and has a plethora of toys - after all this time stuck at the shelter this guy deserves to be showered with all your love and all the playtime he wants!

Meet Midas:

My name is Midas and I love people! I love getting pats, rubs, and baby talk from anyone I meet. I want you to love me by the time you walk away! I love peanut butter, cheese, all meat, and anything I’m probably NOT supposed to have. I will do anything for a snack and have even gone through training with my mom using treats! My nicknames are “Baby Bear”, “Polar Bear", and “Midas Man”. I love chasing squirrels, birds, and cats. So if you spot one, YOU HAVE TO TELL ME! I can be excited by just a few words or I can be laid back and such a couch potato. Our days and routines will be solely up to you. I understand very well when you talk to me. I like taking car rides and if you ask “Wanna go for a ride?”, I’ll do a dance. I especially like hanging out of the window to smile at everyone. I like sitting in the window at home too, so I can watch everything going on. I am an inside dog at heart and am house trained, although I’ll go camping with you anytime!

 Companion Animal Alliance

Meet Barbie:

If you're looking for a lazy, cuddly best friend - Barbie is your girl! With an overall calm demeanor, this gentle pup is made for a life of relaxation and treats. Barbie is house trained, there have only been a few accidents here and there as she explores new rooms. She is also kennel trained, while it isn't her favorite place to be, she doesn't bark or whine while in it at night or while we are away during the day. She is not a fan of thunderstorms and will shake if it gets too crazy but as long as you're there to cuddle and reassure her, she will calm down quickly. She walks very well on a leash and enjoys sunbathing on warm days. She has done very well with her 3 large, foster pup siblings even though she is still learning when the playing is "too much". But for 90% of the time, you can find her sleeping on the couch, stretched out and making herself right at home! As long as you have a soft spot for her to lay and treats in your pocket, this little piglet will snore the day away and keep you warm with her snuggles!

Meet Beautiful:

Beautiful is a gorgeous 4 year old female white and black petite cat. She is a sweet girl who gets along well with other cats and would do well in a low-traffic home, with a patient and cat-experienced owner. She takes a while to come out of her shell.

She is very food motivated and loves wet food, but above all, she would love to finally find a forever home! If you are interested in adopting a Beautiful from our rescue, please fill out an application on our website.

Meet Quil:

Hi! I'm Quil! I am a gentle and super sweet boy who loves sprawling out on sofas and beds like the king that I am. I am friendly with humans, and after I warm up to you, I'll constantly ask for pets!

Meet Lakshmi:

Hi there I’m Lakshmi! I am a young female cat who is on the shyer side, but quite curious.  I tend to follow my foster siblings around the house, always watching what they are doing.   Although I am not a cuddler yet, I do love head and back scratches. I get along with both cats and dogs!  I will do best in a home that has another cat (male or female) that I can follow around and snuggle with, and for my adopters to have patience to work with me to trust and love!  If you are interested in adopting me, please fill out an application on our website at pittiepartyrescue.com.

Meet Shelly:

Shelly is a 4 ½ female pit mix who can be a little shy at first, especially when it comes to men. She will need some time to become comfortable with you, and for you to earn her trust, but once you have it, she will stick to you like glue. She has a lot of energy and loves running in the yard, but would also enjoy going on hikes with you! Although she’d prefer a home without other pets, she has lived with older children before, and all she wants is to have a family again.

Pet Adoption in Lafayette | Father John's Animal House (fatherjohns.org) 

Meet Angel:

Angel is the perfect name for this cat! She is such a sweet girl, and was brought in from another shelter, so it's been a pleasure getting to know her! Angel is about 2 years old, and originally came from a home where she wasn't getting enough attention. She doesn't mind other cats, but tends to keep to herself, so she would do well in a home with calm, mellow cats or she would do great as a solo cat as well! Angel unfortunately had a bad tooth infection, which resulted in all of her teeth being removed. This won't impact her quality of life - in fact, she is much happier and pain-free now! - aside from the fact that she may not be able to eat dry food, so give us a call or fill out an adoption questionnaire at www.fatherjohns.org/adopt

Pet Adoption in Lafayette | Father John's Animal House (fatherjohns.org) 

Meet Arwen:

Hi, I'm Arwen! I'm very playful and curious. I want to be your best pal, so I will follow you everywhere for play time, food, and snuggles! Be prepared for me to climb all over you if you join me on the sofa. Wet food, head scratches, and dangly toys are other ways to my heart. As a pet, I'm an outgoing and confident girl who can be a bit bossy around other cats. I'm fine being your only cat, or I could try to adjust to another kitty who doesn't mind lots and lots of play time. What can I say ... I just want to be in the spotlight at all times!

Since I have a big personality, I would also do best with a "cat-savvy" family who gives me lots of loving attention and channels my energy in a positive direction. I love to grab and give gentle nibbles at playtime, so older kids (12+) are probably best for me.

 Home | Pittie Party Rescue 

Meet Potato:

The coolest cat you'll meet, he's about 6 1/2 years old and FIV+. This is the second time this handsome guy has been returned to us, through no fault of his own! He is incredibly affectionate and loving, and despite his FIV+ diagnosis, can live a long and happy life if properly cared for.

Meet Mantis:

Hi! I'm Mantis. I'm a shy and sweet girl who loves laser pointers and high perches. I especially love watching the world through the window. It might take me some time to get used to my new home, but I promise the pay off will be worth it! I love head rubs and will purr like crazy when I ask for attention. I would do best in a quiet and relaxed home where I can explore until my heart is content.

Meet June:

10-year-old June was living as an outdoor cat.  The woman who fed her had to go into a nursing home and sell the house.  The new homeowner wanted the cats GONE.  Rescuers stepped in and tried to move the cats to a new feeding station, but June kept running back home.  We saw the video of her going back home and it nearly broke our hearts!  

We offered placement for June (who is not feral) and she is just the sweetest little girl on the planet!  She is healthy and is available for regular adoption but also through our Seniors for Seniors program, where we cover her reasonable future medical care if adopted by an approved senior citizen.

Although she would be content as an only “child”, Sheba can keep up with most dogs and has plenty of energy for playtime. She would be the perfect fit for a family who wants a warm, outgoing spirit that is always ready to light up their day! Sheba is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and heart worm negative.

Highland Lakes Canine Rescue 

Meet Sequoia:

My name is Sequoia. Not sure if I am named after the very tall sturdy majestick tree or the versatile SUV. Either way, I am in good company because I am beautiful and people will want to look at me. I have not one, but two beauty marks flanking my smile.

I do have to ask this though. Are you scared of anything? Have any phobias? What about spiders. I hear some humans are scared of spiders. Even have a really big word for it called Arachnophobia. Seems silly to be scared of something that can easily be squooshed by your boot. Why not be scared of something actually scary. Fur instance. Boom boom sounds coming from the sky. Thunder. Yep, now that is something to actually be fearful of.

Foster Mom hasn't had me through a firework holiday yet, but likely to say any sky booms are going to scare the pants off me, even though I don't even wear pants. So number one things is a human that doesn't mind dealing with thunderstorm anxiety and knows how to secure me in my crate and keep me safe during those times.

I can be an escape artist so this will be a main point of discussion with my new family. I would do best in a home where there is another dog to help with comfort when you are gone. Or a person who works from home would be really cool too.

When it isn't thundering, which, let's be honest, how often does it rain in Texas? When it isn't thundering, I enjoy playing with other dogs and balls. I am house trained and crate trained. I REALLLLLY enjoy being next to my person. Do you want to be my person? 

4 Year Old Spayed female / 60lbs
Current on vaccinations & Microchipped, Heartworm Positive, slow kill started
House and crate trained & Good with other dogs and people
Does not like thunderstorms and would benefit with an owner who works from home

Meet Oakley:

Is a 3-year old 55 lbs male Australian cattle dog mix who is good with other dogs

Loves to swim.  Walks nicely on a leash & rides well in the car

Oakley wants to put roots down in a forever home! He was a wanderer because of circumstances that brought him place to place, so in the beginning he seemed reserved. But we have discovered that when he gets comfortable, he opens up and becomes a happy, confident, and self-assured pup. He prefers to hang out with his human companions, but can be in the company of other dogs that will acknowledge his alpha qualities. A stable home with a nice yard would be best for Oakley, so he can express his goofiest self with his family.   

Highland Lakes Canine Rescue 

Meet Cedrick:

8-month-old Male Anatolian/Black mouth cur mix who weighs 46 lbs
Great with other dogs and walks well on a leash

Cedric may be stoic on the outside but on the inside he is just a teddy bear just waiting for his person. Nothing gets him out of his shell more than snacks and playing with his furry friends. When it isn’t playtime, Cedric is very calm but would thrive in a household with another dog to show him the ropes. This handsome boy may be shy at first, but in truth he is a mild-natured and chill companion. Cedric would be a great addition to any home searching for a gentle playmate.Cedric is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and heartworm negative.

Meet Galena:

 3-year old 65 to 70 lbs Spayed female

Heartworm negative, on prevention & current on shots

Microchipped, house and crate trained

Self-confident & walks nicely on leash

Good with other dogs and people but not cat or child tested

Hi! Miss Galena here! I’m currently taking applications for my forever home so I hope you’re apply if you are interested in me. I’ve really improved since I came into the rescue. I was not socialized with other dogs or people and I did not understand being in a crate and really scraped my nose up. I was so skinny you could see my ribs. I have come a long way! I’ve also learned how to use the pet door too and almost drove foster mom nuts going in and out once I figured out how to do it.

At Starmark Training Academy I learned basic obedience such as sit, heel, walk on a leash and how to place or "freeze" on command. I’ve made lots of new friends at my foster home and I’ve learned to play nicely with them. We have a huge yard to play in and I love it!  I had never seen a ball or any toys before, but I really have fun chasing them, and the most fun is stealing them from the other dogs. But I think my favorite past time here is eating. I’m quite good at it and the food here is pretty good. My coat was really dull and ratty when I arrived but now it’s much thicker and shinier.

So if you need a new best friend and if you like redheads please fill out an application for me!

Meet Coffee:

Coffee Is a 6-year old female Pembroke Welsh Corgi who only weighs 29 lbs

Is good with most other dogs & is of medium energy

Is not good in a home with small children and rides well in a car

Coffee LOVES to be loved. She is best friends with every new person she meets, and her favorite thing in life is cuddling! She will go for short guided walks, but mostly wants to be inside with her family or to sunbathe in her familiar yard. Although she is phenomenal about learning her surroundings and adapting, she will flourish best in a home with a consistent and open floor plan she can learn over time. You aren’t going to find a more affectionate dog than sweet Coffee; her loving nature and warm spirit have truly melted our hearts!  Coffee is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and heartworm negative.

Highland Lakes Canine Rescue 

Meet Cortana:

5-year old Spayed female / 80 lbs

Current on vaccinations, microchipped & heartworm negative

House and crate trained

Good with other dogs and people but dominant

Not tested with cats or children yet

Location: Austin area Foster Home

 The Rescue Lady said I should start with a fun fact. My favorite nursery rhyme is the one about the old lady that lived in a shoe and had so many children she didn’t know what to do. Me too. At least they are pretty sure I had puppies at some point and puppies are basically dog children. Plus how cool would it be to live in a shoe?!!  Right now I’m living in a people house with my Foster Family. I’m super calm and gentle with a low to medium energy drive. I still have mutternal instincts and like to carry all my stuffy toys and make a little nest on the bed. But technically I’m an empty nester now.

The best guess on my age is about 5 years old and I weigh 80 pounds now. I am very healthy. I’m a purebred dog. A French Bulldog. Just joking, I’m a German Shepherd. Almost made you make an eye doctor appointment didn’t I?  I was on heartworm medicine, and I am now heartworm free!  Hoo-ray!  I’m spayed too. No more need for the birds and bees talk, a little too late anyway. But you’ll definitely need to have that worm talk.

I am a little shy initially but remain very calm when meeting new people or new dogs. I take a little time to trust people and it took me about a week to settle into the groove of my Foster House routine. I’m doing awesome in my crate and now I love settling down in the crate. My bathroom schedule is regular too.  I do saunter over when I hear my Foster Family say “Cortana”. But that’s really the only people word I know. I do well on walks. My Foster Family took me for a drive and they said I was a calm curious rider. We went to PetSmart. It’s a store for dogs. Even though I’m not that into treats or toys, it was still pretty cool to sniff so many whiffs in one place.

Since I do have a motherly way about me, I do consider myself the family matriarch, so I will do well with any non-dominant dog. I do not like dominant dogs or dogs that put on a show. Me and the other German Shepherd that lives here have established a good working relationship and mutually respect each other’s space.  I do interact and play well with dogs that want to play but I get tired quickly due to my heartworms. My Foster Family says “Overall she is an awesome dog, very caring, loyal and affectionate. Hope she finds a really good home to take care of her.” Oh my, I think I’m gonna cry, that’s the nicest thing any human ever said about me. I’m so thankful that they opened their home to save me.

Meet Tulip:

Tulip Is a 2-year old female Hound/Labrador mix who Weighs 56 pounds

Low to medium energy and Is great with other dogs

Rides well in the car / Appears to be potty trained

This caramel-colored sweet is a treat to be around! Tulip is a little shy at first but quickly blooms into an affectionate and calm companion. Even though she walks well on a leash, all she really wants to do is melt in your lap for some cuddle time. Tulip has gentle manners and would be a wonderful addition to a family household with younger children or other canines.

Tulip is currently undergoing treatment for heartworms and is expected to make a full recovery.  For more information on the treatment process and how HLCR will assist, contact our office at 830-693-0569.

Meet Von:

Neutered male
Almost 3 yrs old
Heartworm negative on prevention
Current on shots
Microchipped
About 70lbs
High energy
House and crate trained
Gets excited around people
Does good with other dogs

His full name is Wernher Von Braun, but his parents just call him Von.  He was named after a German rocket scientist!  Von is just a little (BIG) love bug full of energy and would love to roll into your life and give you some excitement. He loves people and will be your best friend. Von does like to jump though, and new people don’t like that very much. (you don’t need to go any further than my houseguests because my two rescues do the exact same thing) He’s a bit robunctious, but he’s learning and working on his manners.  Von would probably be fine with older teens as opposed to young children.  . 

Von gets along with other dogs, shares his toys and has shown no aggression. He also does well on a leash.  He’s got a heart of GOLD

Meet Nova:

Is a 2-year old Female Australian shepherd/husky mix who weighs 55 lbs

Good with other medium to large dogs & walks nicely in a harness

She's high energy & Enjoys car rides
Nova is a super star and a blast to spend time with! This beautiful gal has a fun-loving personality that wants to get sporty with you. Swimming, walking, playing, hiking– she is game for it all. She is great on the leash, in the car, and at being the princess of the pack. Even though she loves being the pampered pup, Nova is very intelligent and can learn anything you teach her. A family that is active or has another energetic canine in need of companionship would be a perfect fit.

Nova is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and heartworm negative.

Meet Athena:

Athena takes a little time to warm up to people but once she understands you are her buddy, she will seek you out for pets, belly scratches and snuggle time on the couch. Athena is the perfect weight for her body structure and although she may be small, she more than makes up for that in energy and personality.
Athena adores the other dogs in her foster home but occasionally will try to be dominant and pushy so will need patient doggy friend/s if her potential adopters have other dogs as well as a savvy owner that will provide redirection. Athena is a "go, go, go" type of gal and likes to stay active but is sometimes content to just lay down and play with her toys.
Athena loves toys and playing ball. She is a hard chewer so it is best for her not to have any soft toys as they won't last very long. She also likes to do "zoomies" around the yard to get the other dogs in her home to chase her. Athena likes to try and dig so if you don't want her searching for a pot of gold in your yard, she will need to be watched and taught to not dig. She has been learning this in her foster home but if she gets a chance to sneak away, her foster may find the workings of a shallow hole.
 Athena has not been around children in her foster home but we feel that she would be fine with older children as she is very gentle and for still being a youngster she doesn't jump or mouth.

Meet Ashe:

5 years old neutered male / 80 pounds 

Current on vaccinations & microchipped.  He is Heartworm positive, slow kill started

House and crate trained & good with other dogs and people but leery of strangers (needs to build trust)

Not cat or child tested

Greetings! Ashe here! I’m kind of new to rescue. Foster mom has been trying to get some good pictures of me. I looked a bit rough when I first came in but I’m getting better and healthier every day. I wasn’t given my heartworm prevention and so I have those nasty heartworms but foster mom has started me on the slow kill and we can do the quicker one after I’m adopted if my new family wants to do that or we can just finish up with the meds I'm taking now.
I’ve made new friends here. They didn’t really care for me at first because I was a bit rude and lacked social skills. I’m still working on that, and I’m getting better but I’m still kind of rough around the edges. I like to play with balls but I don’t really bring them back . Maybe I’ll learn that later.
The food here is great and I get plenty to eat so my coat is getting shiny and I filled out to my right weight. I don’t know if I would like children or not because I haven’t met any here. I don’t know if the little ones would be OK because I might knock them down; not on purpose of course. I’d probably be OK with older children but I’d have to meet them first. And I haven’t met any cats here so I don’t know if I could live with them or not, but I would be willing to find out. Anyway, if you have room in your home in your heart please fill out an application for me!

 Love, Ashe
