Wiggles is a 59 pound white, beautiful Lab. This one year old playful puppy is looking for his forever home! He is an affectionate, eager to learn, people pleaser who loves to be praised! He likes to be close to his humans and he knows basic commands such as sit, down, and stay. Wiggles has a lot of puppy energy, but once he's had an opportunity to burn it off, he's ready for snuggle time! He is house trained, and will settle after a few minutes if crated. He is working on his leash manners, and is very curious while on his walks. Wiggles has a rough play style and not all dogs appreciate that, so he'll do best as your only canine companion. He can be "barky" when he sees other dogs while out on walks. He is looking for a home that is willing to put in the time to work with him, as he has not had much training prior to coming to us. He is very treat motivated and learns quickly. He is your typical lab that loves to hold something in his mouth, such as a toy or perhaps your water bottle! Wiggles is residing in one of our amazing foster homes.
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.

He knows sit, stay, come, wait, and will give you his paw. Ravi is gentle taking treats . Ravi is residing in one of our amazing foster homes
Molly is a beautiful 1 year old, 42 pound Husky blend who joined us recently from the Humane Society of Yuma. This sweet and silly girl still has a lot of puppy energy and if there will be another dog in her home, it should be a dog of similar size, with a similar play style. Additionally, due to her energy level, if there will be children in her home, it would be best if they are 14+. She's a Husky blend so she'll need regular brushing and grooming. This gorgeous girl is residing on site at the adoption center, looking for her forever home, and would like to meet you!
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.

~ I am not eligible for Meet & Greets and prefer to be the only pet in the home.

Say hello to old man George. This senior is estimated to be over 14 years, exact age unknown. He is a sweet little guy and looking for a home to rest quietly and comfortable for the rest of his days. George was found with his (suspected) son sitting in the middle of an intersection all by themselves. We have not found their families and they are both looking for new living homes.
George is a Chihuahua mix and weighs 13.6 lbs. He gets along fine with other dogs and doesn't pay much attention to them. He gets anxious around cats and barks at them. Otherwise, George is a very quiet dog, housebroken and potty trained. We think George has the start of dementia as he will pace around the house (until he's comfortable) and sometimes he doesn't realize where is he until he gets into a routine. He's doing great at his fosters home and is finally relaxed. George is not much of a cuddle dog yet and usually sleeps quietly burried in his blankets.
The vet gave George his rabies vaccine and he's already neutered. He is up to date on heartworm and flea medication. Unfortunately he has a grade 4 heart murmur but not taking medication as of yet. He does have arthritis all over his body that comes with age!
If you'd like to give this polite senior a home to live out his life, please inquire. He loves being scratched and is just so sweet.
Sweet Stanley came to Dogs & Cats from the emergency vet where he was dumped. He was very skinny and scared when he first came to the shelter.

Check out this fun video of this one year old Cur Mix and come on by to meet him; You'll want to take him home on the spot!

Maddy (b&w) Female Tuxedo and Jinx (black) Male Tuxedo are a bonded pair. They must be adopted together! Both are very sweet, and love other cats.
Maddy is so pretty and has the biggest, brightest eyes. She enjoys exploring indoors, and cuddling Jinx. She is in LOVE with him, it's adorable to see!
Both are shy and need some time to open up and trust.
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!

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!
Look at our beautiful Miss Garfunkle! Those eyes are begging you to adopt this sweet older lady - she promises to give you so much love in return! Miss Garfunkle and her friend Simon came to us when their family could no longer care for them. They are very cat friendly, but were afraid of the two dogs in the home who had a high prey drive, which is understandable! In a future home, they may do well with dogs who are much more calm and cat-friendly, but they would also be happy in a home without dogs. Similarly, in their previous home they only lived with a baby briefly; we think they would do fine with older kids who can give them space when they need it. They would love to go home together, and would do best in a home where there is another cat who can help them open up as they transition into your home. Miss Garfunkle is more outgoing than Simon, but may be a little shy when you first meet her. She loves hanging out in her sunny window, and loves gentle pets, too! She is one of the sweetest cats you'll ever meet. She just needs a loving family; someone who will give her patience during the transition period into your home, and then lots of love from there on out!
Our sweet Simon is so scared here at the shelter! He is used to a calm home where he could get cuddles and love, and is just overwhelmed here. Please see above for more information about Simon & Mrs. Garfunkle
Hi there I'm Lakshmi! I am a young teen 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! Please email my rescue for more information!
Our handsome London came to us when his previous family could no longer care for him. Although they loved him very much, they knew it was best for him to find a new family - and we knew we had to help! We are loving getting to know this 2 year old boy. He's smart, and already knows some commands like "sit", "paw", and more! He does have a lot of energy, so he'd love to go home with someone who is very active - whether you have a fenced in yard where he can play ball all day, or maybe you're someone who loves hiking, London would be happy to accompany you on an adventure! London would love to be your one-and-only! He would be happiest in a home without young kids, and he has never been exposed to cats. When it comes to dogs, he can be a little picky, but that's ok - he just wants all of your attention for himself! He will keep you plenty entertained anyway, so there won't be a need for any other pets when you have London!
Elliot originally came to us from Virginia to find his forever home! He was adopted out but unfortunately they were not able to care for him anymore. Elliot is about 9 months old and he is about 52 pounds. We believe he will be about 60 pounds or so full grown. Elliot did live with another dog and a young child and loved the family. Since he is still a puppy, he will need a lot of training to become the best pup he can be.

Lulu came to Father John's because her owner passed away, but she previously lived with an 8 year old child, another cat, and also a small dog! So we think she would do fine in any home. She's only about 3 1/2 years old, so she should transition pretty easily into your home and family! Her favorite spot is by the sunny window - you'll definitely need a cat tree or windowsill next to a window so she can continue looking outside and soaking up the sun! She has been through a lot, including teeth removal before arriving at the shelter, so she is ready for a loving home to finally relax in.

Baby has a tendency for love bites and therefore a household without young children and with someone experienced in cat behavior is preferred.

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 ddin’t write the book, I just follow it.
I do enjoy people in general, howlever, 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.

With an affectionate and playful nature, he’s an ideal match for an active family or a home with another lively dog to play his heart out with.

Remarkably intelligent, he’s poised to thrive under a consistent routine and gentle tutelage. In new surroundings, Rocket’s initial nervousness stems from his lack of exposure to various environments, but this will undoubtedly change as he gains confidence. As his self-assurance grows, he will transform into a spirited and enthusiastic companion, ready to embrace the world with open paws and a heart full of joy.

I GRADUATED FROM STARMARK TRAINING ACADEMY. I HAVE LEARNED TO BE THE BEST DOG EVER!
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 thicker and shiny!
So if you need a new best friend and if you like redheads please fill out an application for me!
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.
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!

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.
9 year old Rat Terrier mix who weighs 29 lbs. Good with other dogs & Cats and is fully potty trained.
Meet Tony, a delightful dog whose main mission in life is to find ways to convince you to rub his belly. Despite being a youthful 10 years old, Tony still has plenty of spunk and energy, although it is now balanced with the calmness that comes with maturity. He makes an excellent walking companion, but he’s equally skilled at being a professional couch potato, happily lounging by your side. Tony came from a sheltered background, and he is currently navi-gating the learning curve of the world around him. Therefore, he would thrive in a patient and laid-back family environment that can help him ease into his loving forever home. Tony is ready to bring joy, companionship, and plenty of belly rub requests to the lucky family that welcomes him into their lives.
Tony is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and heartworm negative.
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.

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 Cherry, an irresistible bundle of joy that simply cannot contain her wiggles! Her entire body shakes with delight when she wags her stumpy little tail.

Energetic, exuberant, and playful, Cherry is a wellspring of liveliness and joyful energy. She needs a home that can keep up with her active nature and fully appreciate her goofy spirit. It’s important to remember that Boxers/Pugs often have sensitive skin and tummies, and that extra care and attention should be given to their wrinkles to keep them healthy and happy. Cherry is eagerly waiting for a forever family that will cherish her vibrant personality and provide the companionship and activity she craves.

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.
