Meet Casanova:

• NOT Good with cats

Casanova is a 5 year old, 13 pound Chihuahua who joined us recently from a county facility. This sweet boy was adopted recently but came back to us when he wouldn't stop playing with the cats. Casanova is residing in a foster home. His foster home tells us that Casanova is a loveable companion. He is a very quiet dog in the house, and he really likes being with people. He is an early riser but does not make any noise when he gets up. He likes to see what you are doing throughout the day and also likes to take his afternoon nap. He is also fully potty trained.
Casanova seems to adjust well to new surroundings. He has no trouble navigating stairs both up and down. He also has a good appetite and is not picky with the type of dog food he is provided. He usually eats twice a day, morning and evenings, with the occasional treat throughout the day.
Casanova likes to take walks and so far has done well with two walks per day. He will bark at other dogs if he sees them. He likes his toys and is playful and sweet. We have not had any issues with him destroying anything in the house. Casanova likely was allowed to be on furniture at his previous home as he will make himself at home on a couch or recliner. Casanova sheds very little to nothing at all. He would prefer to be the only dog in the home.

Meet Church & Caboose:

two very playful pups, about 6 years old. The boys were returned to us when the family downsized and no longer had a yard or time to spend with the dogs. Both are very cute medium-sized dogs and weigh around 36 pounds. Both boys walk great on a leash and love to run and play with each other. Both love giving their humans kisses.  They are a bonded pair, and we are looking for a family that can open their home to both boys. Caboose is not as confident as his brother, and new situations can make him a bit nervous. For example, he was startled by the flash of the camera for his glamour shot.  He recovers quickly and will open up fast, in a new home.

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 Anika:

Anika is a 2 year old, 22 pound mixed breed girl who joined us recently from a county facility.  She loves to go for walks/hikes and is leash trained.  She also enjoys running around with toys at our park.  She can be a bit of an independent dog but does love some cuddle time as well.  She can be a bit forward with other dogs, so she may do best as your only canine companion.

Meet Magnus:

Magnus is a dashing young man with soulful eyes. When he looks at you lovingly it will surely warm your heart and bring a smile to your face. Magnus was found on the streets of our community, alone and not altered. When an independent rescuer crossed his path, he ran straight for her as if to say “I’m looking for a better life.”. Magnus is gentle and sweet with all who he meets, cats and humans alike. He loves to chase feathers and chitter at the crows outside the window. While he gets along well in our community room, we believe Magnus will truly thrive as your one and only.

Meet Jody:

Meet Caralie:

Caralie is a sweet girl with beautiful copper eyes and the softest fur. Her markings resemble those of a tuxedo cat. She was found roaming around a shopping center parking lot in Compton, but it's clear that she was meant for bigger things. At first, she may be a tad shy and take some time to come out of her shell, but once she does, she's incredibly playful, with big-time zoomies that will make you laugh out loud. Caralie is also very loving and affectionate, and just wants to be with her human all the time. While she is socialized with other cats and dogs, she can be a little wary when they get too close, but she's always curious about her surroundings. Her favorite thing to do is to curl up on her human's lap for a good cuddle. If you're looking for a loyal and loving companion who will always be by your side, Caralie just might be the purrfect cat for you.

Meet Jackie:

Jackie is a beautiful girl who is ready for her forever home. She was rescued from an LA County shelter in November 2022 after she was picked up as a stray that had presumably been hit by a car. She completed her period of cage rest to heal from her injury and is ready to find a loving family to call her own. When you first meet Jackie, she may seem timid, but once she gets to know you, she opens up and loves to give and receive affection. Jackie has a playful side and loves chasing a feather on a string. With her sweet personality and gentle demeanor, Jackie would do best in a quiet home with a patient and loving family who can give her the time and attention she needs to feel safe and secure. She is litter box trained and up to date on all of her vaccinations. If you're looking for a furry friend who will give you lots of love and affection, Jackie might just be the perfect match for you.

Meet Kourtney:

Kourtney is a beautiful dilute tortoiseshell cat with mesmerizing green eyes. She is an adult female who had to make her own way in the community after being left behind when her owners moved.

Despite how her early life evolved, Kourtney is a confident and friendly cat who loves nothing more than spending time with people. She's especially good with children after becoming a fixture in the playground. She is now living the good life in foster care where she enjoys playing and cuddling up in laps. Kourtney has a sweet and affectionate nature and loves being by her human's side. Whether you're watching TV or reading a book, she's always happy to be in your company.

Meet Aphrodite:

Aphrodite is a very sweet, loyal girl and craves affection. Once she gets to know you, she falls in love so deeply that she can get protective over you so a home with a patient/understanding family is a must. She follows you around like a shadow. 

She gets along with other dogs and likes to play with them. If you get involved in the play, she can get jealous of the other dogs getting your attention. Must be familiar with dog behavior. 

Aphrodite does well and sleeps well in a crate and likes wandering around outside. As soon as she's taken outside, she does her business. 

Aphrodite is up to date on vaccines and will be spayed soon. She is currently going through heartworm treatment and we expect her to make a full recovery in a few months. (Please read up on heartworm disease if you're not familiar. It's not contagious and has a good outcome if treated. Aphrodite does not have any negative symptoms at this time)

Ginger enjoys being petted and will sit down to make herself "available", then wait patiently for you to pet her. She's a little potato who loves to lay in the sun.

Hi, my name is Heidi. I was surrendered by my owners because they were moving and could not take me with them. I'm about 3 years old and have a beautiful brindle coat. I'm a smaller size at around 35 lbs, so you can take me anywhere!
I'm a very happy-go-lucky dog! I love to be where the people are. I like to run around and play, and when I'm tired I enjoy cuddling and may even climb up into your lap if you let me!
I'm not a huge fan of water and I'm not quite housebroken yet, although I am smart and willing to learn! I already know how to sit.
I enjoy playing with toys but my favorite pastime is snuggle time. When I do play, balls are my favorite and I'll drop them for you at your feet. Overall I'm just a sweet, happy, beautiful girly looking to be a part of your world!

Meet Betty:

Hey there, I'm Betty. I am a sweet girl who had a rough life before being picked up by Animal Control and brought to the shelter for my new beginning. I was tethered without food or water, and I was underweight. I've gained back the pounds (that was fun!) and now I'm ready to find that new special place that can show me how dog's lives are meant to be!

I'll appreciate having a family that takes it a little slow with me at first while I build up my trust. I'm overall relaxed and calm, but don't worry, there is a playful, high-energy pup under this reserved exterior waiting for my opportunity to shine. Will you release my light?

Meet Brenda:

I am an enchanting four year old girl who wants to sit on your lap. As you can see from my photo, I look a little differently from other cats because I have an auto immune condition which affects my mouth and my front feet. It is not contagious to humans or animals, and it is controlled with medication. My former owner didn’t think I was pretty enough, so she dumped me at the shelter, but everyone here loves me for my awesome personality and they are working very hard to find me at home. I’m also positive for FIV, but I will have a normal lifespan and I don’t need any special medication for that.

Some people would say that I am imperfect, but actually imperfect = I’m perfect. I am a happy lap cat who wants a home of my own and a family to love! Meet me and let me show you how awesome I am!

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!

Maddy and Jinx were found together as strays. A wonderful couple found and took the pair in over the winter, and soon learned Maddy was pregnant! She delivered 3 healthy kittens, and is now looking for a home with Jinx!
 Both are up to date on vaccinations, spayed and neutered.

Meet Ana:

Ana is just under 5 years old. This rottie has the most unique markings! She can be shy when she first meets someone, but in just a short amount of time she'll be jumping around, excited to meet a new friend. She loves giving kisses, too! She enjoys meeting other dogs, but isn't great with cats and may need more time with smaller dogs. This sweet girl is also a fast learner, and will do anything for a treat!

Meet Lilly:

Lilly came to us when her family moved and couldn't take her out of the country. She is a shy girl at first, but quickly warms up. She would do best as the only pet as she likes to be the "queen of the castle"! She likes being pet on her head but anywhere else and she may get a little sassy.

Bowie's a sweet, affectionate cat who loves to keep you company. He likes to explore and play, but usually melts on your lap once you start petting him.

Meet Tater:

Tater came to us as a transfer from another shelter. We love this plott hound! He loves to play and walks well on a leash and knows a few commands, too! He's very sweet but has become shy around some of the taller men here at the shelter. He gets along with most dogs but would not do well with cats.

Meet Justice:

Justice is a dog who came to us when his family lost their home. They were hoping to re-adopt him when they found housing, but it seems like something that is sadly not going to come to fruition. Justice can be a little shy at first, but this 1 1/2 year old pup loves his treats! All you need is a treat and he will be your BFF! He does need some training since he's young, but he is smart, and again, will do anything for a treat!

Meet Eclipse:

Eclipse is an adult female who is severely obese, and is currently on a weight management plan. When we got her, she had a UTI because she can not reach her private area to clean herself effectively. She is an absolute sweetie and will be a great addition to a household, but she will require an adopter that can continue to assist Eclipse on her weightloss journey.
Eclipse is up to date on Vaccinations & has been spayed

Meet Lola:

LOLA is a 6 year old Cane Corso who is sweet as pie! She is a little shy at first, but bonds very closely with people she knows, so she will often look to the person she is familiar with for reassurance. She walks great one a leash, though she often checks to make sure you're still there. Lola needs a home without young children, as they make her quite nervous. She will be shy the first few days in your home but is a total lovebug when she relaxes. Despite her age, she still loves to run and play in the yard!

Meet Noel:

Noel is a stunning Calico kitty with a unique pattern of white, black and orange patches. This tri-colored beauty is breathtaking! A sweet mix of curious and affectionate, Noel will chirp to let you know she is ready for attention or a treat. Although Noel is blind in one eye, you would never know it by her behavior and she does not require any special care or treatment. On a sunny day, you can find this sweet lady relaxing by a window, birdwatching and observing the outside world.
Having recently moved into the adoption center, Noel is a little shy at first but she is coming out of her shell. Once Noel feels comfortable, she is a super friendly cat who gets along great with people and other cats. She loves to say "Hi" to everyone and will lean in for pets and cuddles. Noel is calm, loving and loyal. Just over 3 years old, Noel is past her kitten stage. She will engage in some one on one playtime with a wand toy but is also perfectly happy chilling with her humans.

Noel is looking for a patient adopter who will give her time to settle in and feel confident in her new home. She will thrive in a calm, quiet house without too much hustle and bustle. In some cultures these beautiful Calico cats are seen as a blessing that brings good luck and even wealth! Noel's lucky lucky adopter(s) will be rewarded with a wealth of purrs and a best friend to treasure forever.

Meet Mandy:

Mandy is a cat who came to us when her owner passed away. She is about 11 years old and we recently found out she has early stages of kidney disease. This is not a hospice situation - the adopter will simply have to monitor and maintain and keep her on her special diet. But she will return this care with so much love! She is incredibly sweet, relatively quiet, and does well with other calm cats, like the two friends she came in with.

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.

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 Rocky:

6 years old, 79 pounds

Current on vaccinations. microchipped

Heartworm negative and on prevention

Housetrained and crate trained but he doesn't like the crate and doesn't need to be crated

Good with other dogs in public spaces, but does not like to share his house with dogs

Good with people but scared of smaller children, so older kids only

Enjoys the occasional game of fetch

Loves the dog park

Location: Fostered in Austin, Texas

Hi, my name is Rocky. Usually more of a Boxer dog name, but I am a 5 ½ year old, 79-pound German Shepherd dog. Despite being named Rocky, I would not enjoy a theme song playing loudly every time I stepped into the ring. I am not a fan of loud music. I am a fan of the game called Fetch. I enjoy playing fetch, but not all the time, sometimes, if I am in the mood.

I LOVE going to the dog park. Interestingly, you cannot straight up label me as “good with dogs” based on that fact alone. Although I LOVE to run and play with other dogs at the dog park. I do not enjoy other dogs in my house. Might be complicated to a human, but quite simply, I do not own the doggie park, but I do own my house, not technically on paper but in the doggie law code book. Page 523 of the Dog Code states, “if you can see it, pee it, claim it, protect it”. I didn’t write the book, I just follow it.

I do enjoy people in general, however, I am scared of smaller children. For basically the same reason I don’t enjoy loud music, small children tend to be loud. I am house and crate trained, but you do not have to crate me, I follow the Dog Code page 173 Article 52 Section D “do not tear up your humans stuff, it’s rude, dude”. 

If you are looking for a stately, distinguished, classy guy who will follow the bro code, dog code and any other code that you wish to apply, I am you guy. Okay, I just made a rhyme, so add that to my resume.

Meet Skylie:

Weighs 34 pounds, and has a little more growing to do

Is good with other dogs & is crate trained

Walks nicely in a harness

Is high energy and loves toys

Little angel Skylie has such a pure heart, we think she fell from the sky! Make no mistake however, Skylie is quite the goofball too. She is such a ball to be around because of her enthusiasm for her toys, eagerness to please, and smiley attitude. Skylie just wants to make friends with everyone and is quick to show her amiable character through submissiveness. This one’s truly a lover, not a fighter! Skylie will do great in a family with other dogs and will be a hearty sibling. Don’t be a stranger, because Skylie already wants to be your loyal and lovely family pup!

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

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 Captain Crunch & Cocoa Puff:

Meet the sweetheart combo Cereal Pups!
They are a very bonded pair and have to be adopted together. They are completely inseparable and would be lost without each other. When they first came to rescue, they were terrified of everything and have come a long way. We don’t know their prior history except they were heartworm positive. They were dumped at a high kill shelter with very little hope. And that’s when the the German Shepherd Rescue of Central Texas were contacted by a friend in another rescue with a plea for help to take in this pair. Now they have met new people and been fine and have made new four-legged friends. They love to play and have very good energy.

They do mind their foster mom very well and are extremely gentle and no aggression whatsoever. All they need is someone that is loving and patient but also a strong leader and knows the breed.

Cocoa is the Spayed female

Captain is the Neutered male

3.5 years old

Current on vaccinations

Microchipped

Captain is Heartworm negative

Cocoa is very low positive and almost finished with slow kill

Captain is 70 lbs

Cocoa is 65 lbs

Both house and crate trained; Captain hates to be crated

Good with others dogs

Might be ok with some children

They need experienced patient adopters and do not adapt to change quickly

Must be adopted together

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 Stormie:

Stormie Is a 2-year old 40 lbs Blue Lacy Mix

She's good with other dogs & is of high energy

This cutie is a playful but very shy girl. At first, she will come across as a little unsure, but she’ll gladly wag her tail to greet you and cuddle with you after getting comfortable. Stormie enjoys the company of other dogs, and would love a four-legged sibling to hang out and rough house with. Meeting new dogs can sometimes be overwhelming for her, but a patient introduction will always result in fast friends! Though her coat is beautiful as a summer shower, there are no gray skies when this affectionate girl is around! With a bit of patience and time to fall head over heels, she will make a lively and loving addition to your family.

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

Highland Lakes Canine Rescue 

Meet Radar:

8 year old Spayed female who weighs about 50 lbs

Current on vaccinations and almost finished with slow Heartworm treatment and on prevention.

Microchipped

House and crate trained

Good with other dogs and people

Not tested with cats or children

Very catlike

Loves to meet new dogs and is being fostered in Round Rock

Hi, my name is Radar or sometimes Raina. I’m a dainty little dame at just 50 pounds at 8 years old. My eyes are beguiling, I’m not sure what that means exactly but it’s a fun cat eye word. I’m hypnose-tizing you with my eyes, which honestly sounds more like a thing a nose would do. This is my “adopt me now” look.

You probably want to know a tidbit more in order to make such a big life choice. I love meeting new dogs. Maybe, when I retire, I’ll be a greeter at a big box store and welcome all the dogs through the door. Speaking of boxes, Foster Mom says I act more as a cat does than a dog, so I really should practice fitting in boxes.

As is the case with many South Texas dogs, I tested positive for heartworms, a common disease spread by mosquitoes. I’ve started treatment and Foster Mom can discuss further. Remember to give your own dogs preventative medication so this doesn’t happen to them.

Sometimes people don’t want to adopt a middle aged dog, but there is quite a bit of merit in getting a dog that’s already potty and crate trained. Plus you’ll save on paper towels compared to acquiring a puppy.

So once again, look into my eyes. You are getting very eager to complete an application for me!

German Shepherd Rescue Of Central Texas (gsdrescuectx.com) 

Meet Bella:

4-5 year old Spayed female / weighs about 75 lbs (gained 20 lbs since her rescue)

Current on vaccinations & Heartworm positive, slow treatment started

Microchipped

House and crate trained

Good with other dogs and people

Not tested with cats or children

Has a bobtail (we don’t know what happened)

High energy and is being fostered in Round Rock, Texas 

Anyone down for some retail therapy? Literally! The first question I usually get is…Bella, what happened to your tail? It’s bobbed which is awkward for a German Shepherd. No one knows the truth and I’m not tailing..I mean telling. Just tell onlookers it’s the result of an epic battle between me and a dragon. I obviously won.

At the shelter I was 20 pounds under my ideal weight and in such haggard condition, they labeled me older than I am. Foster Mom says the rescue Vet says I’m closer to 5 years old. Thank you, I do have more gas in my tank. Or energy in my battery if you’re one of those EV drivers. I’m actually high energy for a middle aged lady.

As with all foster dogs, I’m potty and house trained with the help of Foster Mom.  I love being in a Foster Home. With the food service here, I’m 75 pounds now. I am also glad to not worry about being hungry or thirsty. And toys! I love them. Even though we can’t buy me a new tail, we could totally do some retail therapy in the form of a squeaky, bone, rope, doohickey shopping spree.

Meet Hank:

Is a 1-year old Male Stafford-Terrier Boxer Mix

Weighs 55 pounds 
high energy, but good with other dogs

You have to meet Hank – there’s so much to love about Hank! This very good boy is a hunk of puppy happiness. Don’t let his missing leg scare you; nothing slows him down! He is still as lively and active as ever, and yes he can still hop onto the couch! Hank loves to play with toys, enjoys his dog friends, can’t wait for his daily walks and is absolutely over the moon when he gets people-time. If you’re looking for a dog who is as loyal and affectionate as he is handsome, give the good folks at Highland Lakes in Marble Falls, Tx a call about Hank!

Hank is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and heartworm negative.

About:

Pharaoh is so affectionate and warm. He is a high energy companion who will need plenty of daily exercise, but he also understands how to settle down when it’s time to be inside with the family.

Pharaoh is incredibly smart and eager to engage with and please his person; he will thrive with an owner or family that is actively invested in training and doing things together with him.

Meet Mandy & Cosmo:

Meet Mandy as she’s taking applications for a new forever home. But Mandy has a special message to share with any potential adopter; She really, really wants to be adopted with the love of her life, and that would be Cosmo.  You see, they have become best friends and are so bonded that Mandy doesn’t know what she would do without him and she doesn’t want to find out!  They met at Foster mom‘s house and have been inseparable since! 

They share a room together and are both very well behaved in their crates. Mandy and Cosmo are both house and crate trained and even know a few tricks and have had some basic training as well.

 Cosmo is a very sweet, gentle and loving boy. He can be shy at first but once he knows you he’s very bonded. He can be a bit leery of strangers and may bark but shows no aggression.

So if you’re looking for some new family members, this bonded pair won’t disappoint you. Neither have been cat or children tested so a meet and greet would be necessary.

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

O’Mally is great with other dogs and would be a good playmate to his siblings or those visits to the dog park. Whatever is on your itinerary, O’Mally will be ready to go. He’s so great, don’t wait to put this best friend in your schedule!

Highland Lakes Canine Rescue 

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

Meet Astra:

3 year old Female Shepherd/Whippet mix
35 lbs, good with other dogs and is of medium to high energy

Astra’s unique look could make her a model, but she also has model manners to boot! This soft-natured beauty is gentle and curious. Astra may be a shy lady but is quietly adventurous and keen to observe her immediate environment. It may take awhile for her to warm up, but when she does, she definitely prefers being around you. She is great company in those independent quiet times and has been a pleasant office companion here at HLCR. Astra is friendly with other dogs and not at all overbearing; she will definitely suit a household with another dog of a similar temperament. With a little love and routine, Astra will be your steady companion for life!

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

Meet Colonel:

4 year old Neutered male who weighs 70 lbs

Current on vaccinations and Microchipped

Good with other dogs and people

Not tested with cats or children, but very gentle

Heartworm positive slow treatment started

House and crate trained

Currently being fostered in Round Rock, Texas

Hello everyone, my name is Colonel, it was originally Captain, but since there is already a Captain in foster care I am now a Colonel. I do have a uniform and gallant look so the name suits me better than a tailored suit.

I am about 4 years old and still a bit underweight at 70 pounds. I do love to eat so admittedly, I was hoping that my name meant I was the long lost son of the Colonel that started the fried chicken restaurants so that I could inherit as much chicken as possible, but alas I am not.

Foster Mom is feeding me really good nutritious and delicious dog food and I am filling in quite well. I am getting along well with all the dogs here and have done great meeting new people too. Since Foster Mom doesn’t know my real hairatage… heritage…she doesn’t know if I have ever lived with children, but she did remark that I am overall quite gentle.

If you want a tall dark and handsome drink of water or whatever the saying is, please fill out an application to adopt me. I would love to share the rest of my life with you. Don’t let the formal name scare you of, I am quite looking forward to business casual and already wearing khaki pants.
