Meet Calgary:

Calgary is a 5-year-old Samoyed/American Eskimo mix. She weighs around 26 pounds. We first met this lovely lady at Maricopa County Animal Control. She was turned in because her family could not afford to take care of her medical needs. We knew we couldn’t leave her behind and needed to help her. We got her in the very same day to our vet and learned her glaucoma had progressed, and she needed to have her eye removed. She has been recovering in one of our amazing foster homes. Calgary is a loving and wonderful dog. She came through her surgery like a trooper. The fur is growing back around her eye, and she's turned into a playful, happy girl. She loves to go for walks, and she's discovered the toy box and loves to pull all of them out, looking for the one that appeals to her at that time. The doctor is saying she is 100% blind, however she is very smart and is used to her environment. She gets along great with gentle dogs. Her favorite place to be is close to you. She has very limited sight (maybe sees shadows) in her remaining eye. Although she is doing well in her foster home, she would love to find her own family to love!

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 Clyde:

Clyde is an 8 year old gentle giant at 60lbs.  He returned to us after his adopter's health no longer allowed him to care for Clyde.  Clyde is a very friendly, social, happy dog.  Due to his strength and initial excitement for walks , a front-clip style harness is recommended for this big guy.  Clyde knows basic manners such as sit and down, and he's very treat motivated and makes good eye contact, which makes training a breeze.  If there will be children in Clyde's home, older children will be best, as young children make him nervous.  Clyde would love to have a family again!

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!

Peter Zippi Memorial Fund Home (peterzippifund.org)

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 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! 

 Peter Zippi Memorial Fund Home (peterzippifund.org)

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 Hunter:

Hi my name is Hunter. 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’m a sweet and lovable little man. 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 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 Sammy:

Sammy was found wandering in a nearby park with his sister, Buffy. He is a very affectionate and smart boy. He seems to realize how lucky he got that day and shows gratitude by following his foster mom all over the house. Sammy has lots of energy and a big personality to compliment his good looks. He loves to explore, play with toys, and adores snuggling with Buffy. Sammy truly is a special boy who would be a wonderful addition to any cat loving household along with his sister, Buffy. 

Peter Zippi Memorial Fund Home (peterzippifund.org)

Meet Buffy:

Buffy is a beauty and a purring machine. Her foster mom rescued her along with her brother (and BFF) Sammy from a nearby park. She is living her best life so far and she shows every day how grateful she is to be loved and well cared for. Buffy loves to play with her toys and her brother, eat heartily, and, most of all, to cuddle and purr at night right on top of her foster mom. She would love a permanent home, possibly with her brother. Could it be with you?

Meet Boston, Jaws & Tracy:

My name is Jaws and I am an orange tabby boy. I want to tell you about myself and my housemates. We are three sweethearts who were adopted by a shelter volunteer 9 years ago. We thought we would live out our lives with her but unfortunately she got sick and no longer can care for us. We are back at the shelter but we need a foster home as soon as possible. Our sister Tracy is 13 years old and needs daily thyroid medication. My brother Boston is 17 and in need of a special diet as he weighs more than 27 pounds. I am 18 years old and I can’t see very well. We all have excellent personalities and we get along great with people and with each other. We would love to stay together but more than anything we need a home where we can get the care we need. The shelter will pay for medical expenses so please meet us today and take us home.

I'm an incredible athlete and want to find an active family who can love me and keep me mentally and physically stimulated as I could use some polishing to get rid of pent up energy and be my best self. If this sounds like a good match then please come by to meet me and Watch my fun video

Jack is a two year old neutered male who has had a rough start. For a solid 6 months we could not handle jack due to his fear. After some long months of him being here, he is now a new cat.

Humane Society of Treasure Coast

Meet Theo:

This handsome fellow was found on October 21st 2022 and we’ve been unable to find his previous family so he is now available for adoption looking for that special someone.

Theo is a gorgeous German Shepherd and weighs about 65 lbs. (he can gain a few more pounds). He is approximately 2 years old and has a beautiful soul. Theo is well behaved, understands commands and walks great on a leash. He has a low to moderate energy level and will play if given the chance; otherwise he's a big ole' softy who wants to cuddle with you and receive belly rubs.

     Theo is more attracted to women and craves their attention more than men. We think he may have had some male trauma in his past as he is scared and gets protective over his handler. Theo is looking for a dominant female household or a home that is patient and willing to work slowly so he is comfortable with everyone. Theo is great with kids and adores being a lap dog! He is so sweet and loves going on walks and car rides. Theo is housebroken and gets along with smaller dogs (he is dog selective) and his foster says he has no interest in chewing or destructive behavior. He is looking for a cat-free home! 

Theo is up to date on vaccines, neutered and microchipped! He is ready for a family of his own!

Meet Bodhi:

One-and-a-half-year old Australian Cattle Dog of small to medium size who weighs 30-35 lbs 

Bodhi is searching for his furever family. He has all the characteristics of a cattle dog and is very high energy. He needs daily mental and physical activity to thrive. He is a totally love bug and loves cuddling and affection. Bodhi gets along with other dogs and will do best with a dog that can put Bodhi in his place if play gets too rough. Bodhi is a little guy with a big dog mentality. He will be okay with cats as long as you are there to correct bad behavior until he is comfortable in the home.

Stop in and meet me and take me home.

Great news!! My guardian angel has paid by adoption fee.

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 Betsy:

This is a 7-year-old Terrier/Pit Bull mix.  
 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 Kids?: Older kids yes, younger kids if familiar with dogs
Good with Cats?: Unknown

Meet Ozzy:

This beautiful boy was found wandering the streets alone on August 14th. Despite our efforts, his family was never located, so he is now ready for a new home!

Ozzy is an American Staffordshire terrier and a big boy at 65lbs and is about 2 years old.

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 Rosie:

Rosie came to us September 27th, 2022 in rough shape. All four of her paw pads were burned off, open and bleeding which caused her so much pain that she wasn't able to walk. We're not sure what happened to her but she looked like all the happiness was drained from her soul...her eyes full of sadness. It was heartbreaking. She's also had multiple litters of puppies and had hair loss over her body.

Rosie was given the royal treatment and she is looking 100% better!

As she spent the last few months with us getting the love and care she deserved, this baby is doing so great and is just the sweetest dog. She loves everyone she meets and can't walk past anyone without saying "Hi".

We estimate Rosie to be about 3 years old and weighs 55 lbs.

Loves all people and is good with young kids (as young as 3 years old)

Completely housebroken-no accidents

 Sleeps peacefully all through the night and wakes up when you do

 Quiet, calm and low energy. Doesn't play much but loves going on walks and laying with you on the couch

 Rarely barks

 Would do fine in an apartment. No breed restrictions housing

 Rides perfect on car rides (you forget she’s there!)

 Walks well on a collar/leash with no pulling

 Does not like cats…Needs a cat-free house!

 Dog selective. Would be perfect as an only dog or a very patient home to get the dogs acquainted

Rosie is up to date on vaccines and the most beautiful girl, hence her name. Rosie really is a special dog and she's looking for the perfect family to love her unconditionally. Could that be you?

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. Doctors say it was probably caused by an infection in my ear but I can hear just fine and I’m ready to be your special girl! I am not comfortable around other cats so I would enjoy being your one and only.

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 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. But, once she does she loves to come out and rub around her foster's legs for food, and get head scratches and brushes! 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 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 Bowie:

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. Bowie is well-behaved when left alone, always likes to cuddle when you're around, and doesn't mind meeting new people (especially if they have treats).

Bowie is an FIV+ Cat. Cats can and do live long, happy lives with FIV and they can safely live in homes with FIV- negative cats as long as everyone is spayed and neutered and coexisting peacefully. Keep reading to learn more about owning an FIV+ cat.

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 Sketch:

Sketch may look cute, but he's got quite a personality! He's about 2 years old and unfortunately his previous owners dropped the ball on training him, so he needs a serious adopter who will work with him through his quirks. But deep down, there is a loving pup who just wants to snuggle on your lap!

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 Hana:

Hana is a chatty and affectionate girl who loves attention and people! She purrs nonstop as soon as she sees you and is an absolute love bug. She loves to snuggle and play. She especially loves chasing string toys!

Although Hana is a special needs cat, she does not let that slow her down. Cats like her have a great quality of life and don't even realize they are not "normal". She loves to run and play (and even climb!) like any other kitten. Her back legs are partially paralyzed. She has no feeling in her back legs and has some reflex motions, but we suspect that full paralysis of her back legs will happen over time. Because of this, she needs to wear a diaper or onesie to protect her bottom when she is roaming around. She does not use her diaper to go to the bathroom, it is just for protection. She needs assistance going to the bathroom, which she tolerates very well. She is very clean and manageable with this when she is kept on a good schedule. If you want to adopt her, we will provide you with many resources about caring for paralyzed cats and can answer any questions you have.

Meet Misty:

Misty is a shy girl - she came to us when her elderly owners moved into an assisted living facility and could no longer care for her. She is about 3 years old and her favorite thing is to find the tallest place in her room and make it a cozy sleeping place! We think she would do best in a home without kids, and would love a patient adopter who will give her time to adjust.

Meet Avocado:

FRIENDLY BOY! LOVES HUMANS AND OTHER CATS! Avocado's family for the past 4 years recently experienced a major life change, and they were forced to give up both Avocado and his brother, Clementine, returning to Pittie Party where they had come from initially. In the summer of 2018, they had been adopted together and had been happy living in a stable and loving home. The boys were sweet kittens when they were with the rescue prior, and upon their return, they are still exhibiting their sweet personality traits and adjusting to the upheaval well. Avocado is considered to be "the chill cat." He is mellow and laid back, and he's at peace lounging for hours in a sunshine spot or in the company of humans or other kitties. He needs a bit of time (it took 3 days in foster care) to warm up to strangers, and once he does, he loves to rub his face up on hands and legs for pets. He mostly enjoys being pet on his head, under his cheeks, and on the back of his neck. His favorite toys are plastic mice and socks; he usually tries to take them directly off of your feet. After he's had enough attention, Avocado will go to sleep or hangs out solo to unwind. He is an absolute gem of a cat and will be happy to find his furrever home.

Meet Tammy:

Tammy is the sweetest cat ever!!  She loves being petted.  She is on
medication for a heart condition, which is stable. She is easy to pill.
She also has no teeth but that doesn't stop her from eating all of her
food. Please consider giving Tammy a new forever home. Tammy would also
apply for our Senior for Seniors Program where if adopted by a senior,
medical care within reason would be taken care of.

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.

Meet Sheba:

Is a 7-year old female Australian Cattle Dog/Chow Chow mix who weighs 41 pounds
She's Is good with other medium to large dogs & walks nicely in a harness
Is potty trained and of medium to high energy

This confident little lady is spunky and unique, and she owns it! She loves to cuddle her trusted humans and never tires from sharing her affection. Sheba loves to play outside and go for walks, but has excellent indoor manners and is calm inside. 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
Not tested with cats or children and is being Fostered in Round Rock, TX

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 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

Captain is Heartworm negative

Cocoa is very low positive and almost finished with slow kill

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 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 Koti:

Is a male Alaskan Malamute

Is 3 years old

Weighs 75 pounds

Sometimes it’s difficult to believe that Koti is a dog and not a very hairy person! He is SO smart and expressive. He absolutely loves life, and equally enjoys talking to us about how much he loves it. He is a water fiend, adores the cold weather, can’t get enough of playing fetch, has a blast with his dog friends (so long as they enjoy getting rowdy) – if you haven’t already caught on to the theme here, this is one vivacious dog! Koti has an assertive personality and needs an owner who can be even stronger. If you’re looking for a dog who thinks that he is smarter than you and a reason to laugh every single day, this is the boy for you!

Koti is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and heart worm negative

Highland Lakes Canine Rescue  

Meet Sunny:

Is an 8-year old male English Labrador Retriever who weighs 75 lbs

Is good with other dogs & Appears to be potty trained

Enjoys car rides

Is medium to high energy

If you’re looking to add a ray of sunshine to your life, this golden boy is more than up for the job! His happiness and sweetness are positively infectious. Sunny loves every person he meets and is open and warm with his affections. As you can see from the photos, fetch is one of his favorite games and he has a blast playing with his many toys. Don’t let his mature age fool you! Sunny still has plenty of energy and will prefer an active lifestyle with a yard to enjoy. It doesn’t take much to make this sweet boy’s day – one loving glance or word from his people and he is walking on air!

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

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.  

Mandy is a Spayed female, 3.5 years old/ weighs about 65 lbs

Heartworm negative and on prevention

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

German Shepherd Rescue Of Central Texas (gsdrescuectx.com)

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
