Blue Dog - Referral

Maggie is a playful, sweet, adorable, and loving 6 month old golden retriever mix puppy. Very sociable, long hair, loves dog parks and walks, loves car rides, and housebroken. Also spayed, full shot record, and heartworm negative. She would be a perfect fit for a family with mid aged kids. She walks very well on a leash and has learned some basic commands such as sit. Also love to play with a tennis ball when out at the park. I would love to keep her but I'm hardly home. Contact dhogan12@hotmail.com to inquire about adopting Maggie.

Zeke is a male, 1-year-old border collie with lots of energy and tons of potential. He was pulled from a kill shelter, and since being in a home, has blossomed into a beautiful, energetic, playful dog. He has tons of energy and loves playing will all kinds of other dogs. Due to his lack of people experience as a young puppy, he is shy around people, but with a little TLC, patience, and training, he will become a great companion dog. He really needs a home with another active, confident dog that can show him the ropes and play with him. He is housebroken, leash trained, and knows how to use a dog door. He absolutely loves going for walks, runs, or hikes. He does show prey drive, chasing mostly birds and small animals, but also some cats; so far he doesn't show much toy drive. He is neutered, microchipped, up-to-date on shots, heart worm negative, and on heart worm and flea prevention.

Darby is a sweet, loving, 35 pound, brindle mix (maybe some Catahoula) with slender features. She has big curious eyes and an enthusiasm for life unmatched by most. She is about a year old, housebroken, spayed, and heartworm negative. She does well with both cats and dogs, as well as humans of all shapes and sizes.

This gal loves to run and play and is very curious. She will keep you on your toes! Darby is energetic and would be a perfect companion for an active, patient and gentle handler looking for a new running partner or dog sports buddy. She has taken a basic obedience class and has learned some great manners. She knows how to sit, down, wait for her food and ask nicely to be petted. She is working hard to learn polite leash walking, but is quick to pick up any new skill and loves to learn! Darby is making a transition from life in the country with no one caring about her to the life of a well-loved dog. It has been fun to watch her blossom. She will keep her new person/s entertained and would be a great dog for an active handler, who is creative and curious about the world around them too.

My name is Mandi. I am currently fostering a 16 month old Blue Heeler (Stetson). He was surrendered at a local veterinary clinic because his owners could not afford to treat him for Parvo. Now fully healthy, he is looking for a forever home. He has worked with Hearts and Paws training on some behavioral issues and puppy training. He is a dog that needs a lot of room to run, and a person or family who can play with him and give him lots of attention. He is great with other dogs, cats & kids. He does to try herd the 2 horses that I have in my yard, but does not bother them too much. He cannot be around goats, as he has tried to chase then and eat them. He has never been around cattle or sheep, so I can't be sure what his reaction would be to them. Stetson is neutered, currently up to date on all vaccinations and mircrochiped, which can be easily transferred into your name. He is a very friendly and loving dog, can be a little timid around new people but warms up to them quickly. He is a wonderful and sweet dog who just needs room to run. I have attached a few pictures of him to the email as well.

Three puppies looking for a happy, lifelong home.  One is a male (black) the other two are female.  Mother is a Border Collie and father is a shar-pei/beagle/mutt mix.  They were born January 21 and have been raised around people, other dogs, and cats.  Willing to assist with delivery and spay/neuter bills if a good match is found. breealexa@gmail.com.

Barney is a sweet fifty pound shepherd/hound mix who loves being around people. He is current on his shots and has been neutered. Barney is a little over a year old and still needs some training. He learned the command for “sit” in one day and is beginning to respond to “inside” when called. Barney is crate trained and just needs a bit more work to be totally house broken. He is a digger and will need someone who can watch him in the yard until he learns otherwise. Barney gets along well with our seven year old lab and our nine year old daughter. He is such a sweetie who will give tons of love to his new owner! If you would like to know more about Barney, please contact amy at amy.geltemeyer@gmail.com

What can I say about Mason and Riley? I really love these two. They are super sweet pups who love love and are super affectionate...that's actually why I'm hoping to find them a better home. Over the past few years with the birth of our daughter, moving, job changes...we spend no time with them...I end up feeling guilty every time I look at them because I know they are love starved and deserve so much better. I'll really miss them but I'll be happy if I can find them a home where they are the center of attention again. If you or anyone you know is looking to add two loving and beautiful beagles to their family, these two have all their shots, are crate trained, come with an attractive furniture style crate, a wire crate, bowls, leashes, collars, and are free to a good home. Please contact Chris at pappag123@gmail.com. Thank you.

We have 2 female dogs that need to go to a good new home. We are not able to take care of them, give them the attention they need, expecting baby two in April, and doctor recommended to find new homes due to allergies. We have a fixed 9 year old border collie/blue healer mix (Zia) and a 7 year old Rottweiler/German shepherd/chow mix (Ginger). They are inside/outside dogs, they are both well trained, they know a many commands, house trained and kennel trained. They are wonderful with kids and wonderful watch dogs. They love to go on walks and the energetic border collie/blue healer loves to please by having jobs and high activity. The Rottweiler/German shepherd/chow mix is more mellow but will do anything for food. Both are healthy with all shots up-to-date for 2013. If you are interested please contact 512-653-8413. Please no texting. Thank you.

Duke was born November 26, 2006, and has lived in our home since shortly after his weaning. He’s a sweet, healthy, obedient boy who is playful, enjoys kids, and loves to snuggle. As Duke is getting older, he’s less suited to make the overseas move we have planned and is looking for a new home near to where he has grown up.

Recent experience between Duke and his sons has shown that he is best suited for a home in which he is an only male dog. Duke is a Texas boy looking to live out the rest of his life in a loving home where he can be a part of the family and snuggle his days away.

Gorgeous, graceful Pearl is a 59lb lap dog who loves people, she easily becomes a part of the family and does very well with children 10 and older. She is eager to please, loves to run and play and fetch a ball or nap on your feet. She is well-behaved in the house, and seems to be fully housebroken. She sits on command and is working on coming when called and leash skills. She responds very well to training. Pearl chooses her doggie friends carefully and does not respond well to aggression. She will do best in a single dog home or with a calm older male.

$100 adoption fee includes crate, toys, bowls and accessories

Meet sweet Ivy.

Ivy will be three years old in February.  She is great, great with kids and other dogs and has been through basic obedience training.  She is very good at basic commands.  She has such a sweet temperament and is looking for a home that can give her the time and attention she deserves.
If interested in meeting Ivy please email Jayme at jayme.alexander@esc13.txed.net.

Nora needs a home! She is a big girl, she loves to run and jog. She knows 'sit' and 'down', is housetrained, loves to chew on toys but not all that into 'fetch'. She is watchful and will alert you to danger, but is very loving and has zero aggression towards people. She is GREAT with my 9 and 12 year old, but probably too big for tiny children. She must be the only dog in the home, and no cats either please. She loves walks and likes to explore...she will climb on the agility objects in the park and loves to jump up on the picnic table LOL. She is quite a character, and will make someone an amazing best friend. She comes with FREE training from the fabulous Canine Mastery in Georgetown so that she can continue learning. She is super athletic and can climb chain link fencing, so privacy or tall fencing is necessary. She would NOT be suitable as a backyard dog only, unless you live in your backyard too! She needs human companionship. If you are interested in Nora, please contact her foster mom by phone 512-718-7393, or email at jesferchamby@yahoo.com.

Also check her out on Petfinder and Facebook.

Sadie was found when she was approximately 6mos. old. She is now around 2 years old and is very lovable. She loves to swim and craves human affection. She is great with kids around 8 years old and older, as she can be a little rumbustious. She needs a loving home with someone who is patient and can train her. She is extremely smart. Sadie does better with land to roam on or confined by a containment system. She is also crate trained.

The family who rescued her needs to find her a forever home, as they have some changes that require them to find homes for some of their animals.

Sadie needs a loving home to foster or adopt her. If you can help, it would be greatly appreciated.

For more information on Sadie please contact msutherlandlpc@sbcglobal.net.

Princess is a one-year old female Chihuahua/Dachshund mix who weighs about 6 pounds. She is extremely playful (loves her toys, loves to play fetch, and loves her chewies), very affectionate, and prefers to be with her people as much as she can, including in the car. She is wary around other dogs at first, but warms up quickly- she plays very well with my miniature poodle, although they did not like each other much at first. She is not good with my very old dog or my cat, so I would not recommend her in a home with cats. I would also recommend a home with active adults and/or older children who like to play; she doesn't seem to know what to make of toddlers, so elementary age and up is probably best. We are working on this with my 22-month old grandbaby. She is spayed, up to date on shots, is microchipped and is hearworm negative. If you are interested in meeting Princess, I can be contacted via email at mkathryna@hotmail.com, or text to 569-2863.

Meet Sammy. He was dumped at a local business and has been struggling to survive. He was definitely someone’s baby because he loves people and is so starved for attention. We took him to be checked out and neutered. Unbelievably, he is FIV negative and relatively healthy. His right ear, which looks a bit on the unique side, is a testament to him being beat up in the past, and we tell him it gives him character. Sammy is staying nice and comfortable at our house for the moment, but we need to find a home for him. We currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats of our own who Sammy gets along with, and has even been seen rubbing up against the dogs. If you are interested in more information on Sammy, please contact lori.box7@gmail.com.

Gigi is a two year old, very loving, energetic female mix that needs a new home. As you can see from the picture, she is mostly white with a large black ring at the base of her tail and a black mark on her forehead. (We were told that this is considered the "thumbprint of God".) Elderly couple wishes to continue to love her, but unable to care for her the way she deserves.

Gigi is both house and crate trained. She has received basic canine training and has a very good understanding of Sit, Place, Wait, Release, Leave It and Down. Her vocabulary understanding is quite extensive - Park, Ride, Walk, Food, Hungry, Treat, etc.

Gigi is good with other dogs, children, and all people. She loves to play ball and swim - especially when you combine the two activities!

We would prefer a home with a large, fenced yard for her. Gigi enjoys dog parks and is improving on walking on a leash.

Please email with any questions and to arrange a meeting to nhnja1221@gmail.com. Gigi deserves a good home and we don't have the energy needed (due to medical conditions) to give her the life she deserves.

The Buttercup Veterinary Hospital in Cedar Park has come across a 10 month old Blue Heeler puppy (Stetson) who is in need of a home. He was surrendered to us from a client who could not afford to treat him for Parvo. He has been under the hospital's care for 5 months. Through various methods, we have tried to adopt him out. However, we do not have the facilities to give him the care and attention he needs, nor to try to adopt him out. He spends the majority of his time in a run at the clinic. He has worked with Hearts and Paws training on some behavioral issues, and has progressed immensely.

Stetson is neutered and currently up to date on all vaccinations. At the moment he is being fostered at my house, but again, it is not the kind of room or given all of the attention he deserves. We are looking for a rescue who is willing to take him on and help him find a wonderful home. Stetson is wonderful with children and other animals. He is a very timid puppy, but once he is comfortable with you, he is extremely friendly and protective, as are most heelers. Please help us find him the home he deserves.

For more information, please feel free to contact Mandi at mandikuntschik@yahoo.com or (830) 339-9715.

The happiest and wiggliest dog you'll meet!

Autumn is around two years old. We think she is a Staffie/Boxer mix. Autumn is full grown at 35lbs. A little over a year ago, Autumn was adopted from a local city shelter, but the elderly person who adopted her didn’t realize that she was not even a year old and had a lot of puppy energy and no training. Autumn has now had basic obedience trained and is much calmer. In addition to being obedience trained, Autumn loves her crate! Autumn loves car rides and walks. She live with dogs from 10lbs all the way up to 85lbs. She has been kid and cat tested and did great with both, so a house with children no younger than 10 years old would be perfect. Autumn would be happy being an only dog or living with other dogs. If you are looking for a companion to just hang out with or take a hike with, Autumn is your girl! She is at a perfect age to be placed in her forever home. She is not a huge barker, which is a plus if you live in an apartment or condo.

Autumn is such a happy little girl - her whole body wiggles with excitement at meeting someone new. You will fall in love with her wonderfully happy personality and realize what a great addition she will make to your family.

If you're interested in meeting this little sweetie because you feel she would be a great addition to your family, send an email to rottiewatcher@yahoo.com for an adoption application. An adoption fee will apply, also.

Hello my name is Amy Penner and this is Poppie my foster pup. I saved her from Arlington TX off the EU list. She was within hours of being eu'd. I tried to get a rescue group local to me to pull her and I would foster. We just simply ran out of time so I out right adopted her with the intention of re-homing her. I would keep her myself however my resident dog is not happy at all. It is his issues not Poppie's. She loves him. She is great with all dogs she meets.

I really am hoping that she can get some exposure on your site. Do you ever allow your referral dogs come to adoption events? This is one thing I am really hoping for meeting her in person makes all the difference in the world.

I have attached the digital picture and the flyer that I have done up for her that you could use for a description of her.

Thank you so much! I appreciate any help I can get at tthis point.

My name is Cody. I am an American Bulldog. I am four years old and I weigh 72 pounds. AND I want you to know I am Handsome! When you see my picture you will agree.

My coat is white with little black spots; I also wear a black mask on the right side of my face. But I’m not a pirate!

I don’t know how I got to the playground of the Elementary school, but I am so fortunate that I did. It was 7:30 A.M., and becoming a hot day, when this nice lady found me. She took me to a neighbor across from the school who took me into her house, and fed me some really good food. I was hungry! It was cool in the house, and for the first time in a few days I felt safe, so I took a nap!

She introduced me her husband, their two Chihuahuas and the yellow tabby cat! I have been part of the family and I have been living with them in their house and now it is time for me to find a forever home! I have had all of my vaccines, Rabies, Parvo, Bordetella, and Lepto, found that I am Heartworm Negative and I am micro chipped, neutered and healthy! I am also parasite free! I am a good boy and housebroken. I really enjoy to be groomed, bathed and brushed.

I love wandering in the big back yard, but most of all I enjoy living in the house. I prefer a home where I will be the only pet. I need someone to play with me, exercise me and I love to ride in the car. I walk well on a leash!

Can have a great future together?

This adorable little girl is ZuZu. She is a 5 ½ to 6 month old tabby calico. She loves to play with her catnip mouse and jingle bell ball. ZuZu loves her feather toy! She likes to cuddle, sit on her window perch and do other typical kitten activities. She is spayed, FeLV/FIV negative and vaccinated. She would do well with adult well-mannered dogs and older children. If you are interested in her, please contact Amy at cuhead62@yahoo.com or call 512-775-1696 after 6:00 p.m.

This is Tuesday a german shepherd mix puppy that I found about a year ago and have been taking care of since. Tuesday is her name, she is about a year and half old. I found her when she was 3 months old and fell in love, but no longer am able to take care of her properly. She is just a BIG puppy. She is a beautiful shepherd mix with short hair. Being young Tuesday has tons of energy but once you tire her out she is the best snuggler! I made sure to keep her very well socialized by taking her everywhere with me. She loves all other dogs and her favorite thing to do is go to the dog parks. She only weighs about 60-65lbs but she is very tall and skinny. She is spayed and UTD on all her shots, heartworm, and flea. She is also spayed. She is great off leash and listens well. When left alone for long periods of time she tends to get bored and cause mischief such as getting into the trash. Good with kids as well, doesn't even seem to notice them really, even when they try to ride her. The perfect home for Tuesday would be someone who is very active and has the time and attention she deserves. And I think a home with other dogs would be even better. I have exhausted all my resources and now look to you the reader of this to help me find a home for Tuesday.

Can you say firecracker?? Although little ‘Mantha is the smallest of her litter, she is high energy and always in the middle of every tumblefest. Samantha, is smart, smart smart, and always ready for adventure. While she appears to be quite independent, Samantha will periodically ‘check in’, make sure you’re still there, then run off in carefree play. True to the Lab we think is in her genetics, Samantha loves the water. If you don’t see her outside, just check for the water trail. Chances are she’s found a puddle or bucket of water to play in. If you’re looking for a bundle of love and laughs, Samantha is your girl! Born 12/28/2011, Samantha is housetrained and crate trained, current on all vaccinations and microchipped. We estimate that she will be about 50 lbs fully grown. For more information about Allie, please email Toni at rotnhouse@austin.rr.com.

Carolina female dog about 3-4 years old -weight about 40 to 50 lbs found in field fending for herself needs a good home. I've had her for a week at my apt she is the sweetest thing ever!!! Very adoptable, maybe will need a little training with leash and being inside. She is SUPER adoptable and I know if she is at your shelter they will adopt her right away because she is super nice- she is good with bigger dogs breeds not small dogs. She is fixed as well I paid for that. I would keep her in a heart beat the only thing is I live in apt and have 2 cats. I picture her in a home with bigger dogs or by herself, with a yard she likes being out side, maybe going on trips to the lake or river or on long walks. She is a true angel and not just an average dog- she is very, very smart!!! If you are interested in helping me find her a good home- please let me know! I have attached a video as well so you can see her temperament and her personality. Thank you, Karina :). Phone: 210-478-6267

This pretty girl needs a place to call home. She is looking for a home where she will be loved and cherished. Sugar is a great dog; she gets along with dogs & cats. Sugar is a loving, affectionate Pit Bull. She is about 1 year old. She is spayed and vaccinated. PLEASE contact Pam for more info - pamburris@att.net

I am looking to rehome my dog Waffles, who is a super sweet girl. She is a 3 yr old black and white pitbull mix. She is great with other dogs, cats, and people. She loves to go to the dog park and loves to swim. She is great on walks, and will let you know when someone or something is outside of your house . She is crate trained, and housebroken as well. She knows "sit," "down," and "shake."

Waffles needs a home that can deal with her medical problem, which is hip dysplasia. She will need to take certain pills for her condition, or whoever adopts her can have the surgery done to fix her hips. She has had issues with this since she was a puppy. So, her activity level needs to be monitored and controlled so that she doesn't hurt herself. I know that it is a lot to ask someone to take in a dog with hip issues such as Waffles, but she deserves a home with people who can afford her care and will look out for her best interest. She is the kind of girl that when you meet her, you fall in love. Her personality is overwhelmingly sweet, and I hope someone can take her in and love her for the rest of her life.

There’s something about Henry... it’s just that easy to fall in love with him, and he LOVES you right back! Henry responds to positive emotion and praise to build relationships with people. He seeks human interaction and is sensitive towards his humans!

Henry is excitable, but he is adoring and affectionate in equal measure. This boy does not realize his own strength; He gets excited about anything involving treats, toys and being outdoors. He struggles around other dogs and cats, but he is learning to behave as a gentleman. He has a high energy level, so he is happiest when he gets regular exercise. Just as important as physical exercise, Henry also needs an outlet for his brain. His over-the-top excitement can be managed by giving him outlets like problem solving activities. An incredibly fast learner – just two to three repetitions of a new activity and this guy HAS IT!

Henry will thrive in a situation where he is wanted and loved as a companion; and where he will rewarded for all of his good behaviors. He does well with clear and consistent instructions. He loves knowing what is expected of him. He needs a home that can offer clear rules, with tenderness and affection.An important consideration for the right home for Henry is the activity level. Henry needs the opportunity to spend his energy through regular walks/runs. He has the makings of a fine exercise companion.

Henry would do best in a home where he is either the only dog, or gets to be the 'top dog'. He interacts best with dogs that are laid-back. Like all loving dogs, Henry craves attention and cuddling. He is addicted to his doggy bed, and loves lying around looking out windows and chewing on his bone.

I will gladly continue to sponsor his training at The Canine Center. For info call /email

These two belonged to a neighbor who had to move earlier this year. We took them in as fosters in order to keep them out of a shelter. They are looking for a new permanent home. Nathan is a rot-mix about 3 years old. Girl is a pit-mix about 2 years old. Both are fixed and in excellent health. Both grew up together around children. Girl is the more outgoing of the two. She would benefit from having a running/hiking partner. So if you are the active type she would be a good fit for you. Nathan on the other hand is more laid back and likes to hang out in front of the tv laying on the carpet. I will be happy to arrange meet and greets if you are interested in either dog. Email Khari at kharilm@sbcglobal.net if interested or call 254-493-9894.
