Blue Dog - Referral

We are currently looking to re-home our sweet little Eva due to Career changes since we first took her in from a family member at three months of age. Eva is a loving 1 year and 3 month old pit mix from the Vets guess although her mother was a Catahoula. She currently weighs 35 lbs and I suspect this is about as big as she will get. Eva is spayed and up to date on all of her vaccinations as well as her heart guard medications, in very good health-can provide records. She absolutely loves to play, is great with children and other dogs. She loves to go running, camping, swimming, and to the dog park. Very well temperament just needs a loving and dedicated family that can give her more of their time than my husband and I currently can. Please email Lisa at lap1016@hotmail.com for more info.

My name is Jester, and the name certainly fits! I'm a fun-loving adorable 3 1/2 year old. My mommy and daddy are moving to a much smaller space, and I'm hoping to find a new family and home, where I can run and play - with kids or other dogs - or even a new mom and dad. I am a great snuggle buddy - whether it's on your lap or in bed. My shots are current, I've been neutered, microchipped, and I take my heartworm preventative every month. I know how to sit for treats, wait at the door to go out and come in, and walk on a leash. I'll bring some of my favorite things with me when I come to your house to stay - like my bones and blanket, food and dishes.

Please consider me as the newest member of your home. You can call my mommy Claire at 512-663-0718 for more information or to come visit me.

Cookie, 8 month old border collie healer mix. Great with kids, dogs, horses, etc. Also she doesn't bother the chicken coop. She is spayed and has shots. She loves water and is very playful and affectionate. Here are a couple links to her videos I made... http://youtu.be/1C7AZwtVSu4 and http://youtu.be/iO-PRIxqCI0 She is also on Dogster.com at http://www.dogster.com/dogs/1236124 Also on dogster if you look at her family there are more great dogs needing homes at my house. Cookie has just been here 2 months and I am over full. I would like her to find a home before she turns 1. Email krissy_and_destiny@yahoo.com for more info.

We need to find a new home for our sweet boy Beckham who is an Australian shepherd/border collie mix. Our daughter is extremely allergic to dogs so we are having to seclude him from her which is not fair to him.

We rescued Beckham when he was about a year old and he is now five years. He is very smart, loves to go on walks, have his belly rubbed and be part of the family. He is an entertainer. He is primarily an inside dog, house trained and trained to ring a bell if needs to go outside to relieve himself. He knows basic commands and is neutered, current on all his shots and current on heartworm preventative.

He would be a good fit for someone/family who can take him on walk/runs and enjoys playing.

Please contact Tammy at (512) 507-6499 or tbarr98@yahoo.com if you would like more information about him or to meet him.

Samantha is a very sweet, low maintenance dog. The kind you can take with you anywhere, very well behaved. She is spayed, up to date on all vaccinations, housebroken, very calm, great with cats and loves her people. unfortunately I can no longer keep her and would like to find her a new home. I want to find her a home where she will be treated as a family member and not just a dog. Someone who will give her plenty of love and attention and not just leave her outside in the yard all day, she loves people and affection and I want her to continue to recieve it.

I am requesting a $40 rehoming fee and a current veterinary contact from her potential future owner, this is to ensure she is going to a good home and to someone who is serious about her.
She is my little angel so I need to be sure she gets all the love that she deserves.

Yoshi is a five-year-old, 55-pound, German Shepard/Swedish Shepard mix. She is spayed, microchipped, up-to-date on all vaccinations, and in good health. She is crate trained and house trained and is patient and loving with kids of all ages. She warms up to other dogs, and has never been around cats. She is eager-to-please and knows all the basic commands (sit, stay, down) as well as a few fun extra tricks. She loves neck scratches, and is mostly a mellow dog, who is happy to lay around for hours. However, she loves to run and chase other dogs. She needs some work with greetings and walks (she just gets so excited), and she's sweet to everyone she meets.

Meet Duke and Peanut. They are our two dogs that we love so much. Duke and Peanut are looking for a new home with parents who will spend quality time with them and can give them a little bit more attention. Duke is a 7 years old male, 75lbs and is a red Vizsla/Lab mix and has such a big fun personality. He has had some knee muscle issues in the past, but is still very active. Peanut is a 5 years old female, 55lbs, and is a Boxer/Lab mix mutt and is the most loyal loving dog I have ever know. Peanut would be great at agility training if someone was interested in that. They both love to cuddle with you and spend time with you. They are both housebroken and love being inside and outside, but like to sleep inside at night. They have both have been spayed and neutered. They are great with kids (they have been great with our 2 year old) and we have had many many play dates with other dogs in the past and love being around other dogs.

They are looking for a new home together. We have 2 pretty looking kennels with beds, collars, leashes, and an outside dog house if you want it. Their shots and medical records are up to date.

Why are we trying to re-home our dogs? Well, we have had Duke and Peanut since they were babies (7 years) and our lives have changed so much since then. We moved from Nashville to Austin 5 years ago and we travel to Houston most of the time, so we have to board them or get a dog sitter. We have a 2 year old and she is becoming more and more demanding everyday and our family is about to grow by one more. Plus between my husband and I, we have 3 home businesses. So that to say, we just don't have the time to invest in Duke and Peanut and want them to have owners that can give them the attention they deserve. They are wonderful dogs, and I just want them to have a happy home with an owner that is going to spend time with them and give a little more attention.

If you are looking for 2 dogs to love and care for, Duke and Peanut would be perfect for you. Give me a call anytime if you think you are still interested and we can talk more if you have questions. -Lindsey 512-922-7550

We found this sweet girl looking for love on a school campus in Houston a few weeks ago, as we were in the process of moving to Austin. We tried to find her family, and had her scanned for a microchip, but no luck. She's a gorgeous brindle color with white spots and has a WONDERFUL personality! The vet says she's about a year old, and she still has that rambunctious puppy personality. She LOVES toys, and can sit on command. (We're working on other commands as we speak!) She's got TONS of personality and weird little quirks (her tail wags up and down, for example) that make her a blast to have around. We've gotten her vaccinated for rabies and bordetella, checked for heartworms (negative!) and spayed. She gets along great with our male dog, and he will be sad to see her go, but in our new place, we just don't have the room. She loves people and loves interaction (but not cats), and she would be a wonderful addition to any family!

She's ready for someone who will love her for the rest of her life. If you would like to meet Wendy, contact Toy Dog rescue of Austin at toydogrescueofaustin@gmail.com

Hi, my name is HANNAH. As you can see, I’m a beautiful Dachshund/Beagle mix. I was rescued in September 2010 from a local animal shelter by a well-meaning animal lover who, as it turned out, isn’t as energetic as I am. She passed me down to her lovely daughter and family whom I adore. They say I’m absolutely precious and that it’s unfair to me that they can’t provide the time and attention that I so desperately need.

You can’t tell by the pictures below, but I have big brown eyes that are very expressive, and my brown and white colored fur is shiny and healthy. They say I look like a little horse. I’m two years old, house trained, spayed, micro-chipped, and up to date on all my shots. I’m very playful and would make a great companion for adults and/or children and other dogs. I spend my time in the backyard chasing squirrels, birds, and cats. I love the outdoors and running!

My family is so busy with other activities that I’m getting a bit lonely so I need to find a new family very soon. Please consider taking me into your home…you won’t be sorry! My kind owner will be happy to answer any questions you may have. Please call Becky for more information at 512/260-5237.

I am fostering a dog abandoned by her family in our neighborhood. They moved off and left her to die. I got her spayed and all her shots. Now she needs some help finding a good forever home. We already have 2 dogs in our tiny home and just don't have the room to keep her. She is sweet, smart and obedient. She loves the dog park and plays well with others. She has some separation issues as you might expect. We've had her about 5 weeks and we named her Sasha. She quickly learned that Sasha means her. She would not do well with cats. She likes kids and would do well in a home where she was not left alone often. She goes to her crate when asked and has to be crated when we are not around to keep her from chewing up stuff. Shes about 1 year old. She weighs 42 lbs. and the vet thinks she'll be about 50 lbs fully grown. She loves to play or be a couch potato, which ever you are in the mood for. Please contact me by email.

Boo Radley is a sweet, affectionate year and a half old white pittbull. She is a large dog, between 70-80 lbs, but would still love to be a lap dog. She loves people and loves to play with other dogs. She also likes to lay in the sun for naps and sit in lawn chairs to look out over the backyard. She is an intelligent dog who is crate trained and house broken. She is good with older children, but not cats. She should not go to a home with a cat. Her current family loves her very much, but with two other dogs, a baby and a cat she is just too much for them. They do want to make sure that sweet Boo Radley will go to a home where she will get the attention and love that she deserves. Boo Radley is spayed and current on all vaccinations. For more info please contact Virginia at virginia.wilder@gmail.com

Moose is named for a chocolate mousse...he is 8 yrs old, well cared for, heartworm negative, neutered, current on his shots, Heartgard, Frontline, etc. Moose is the sweetest boy in the whole world. All he wants to do is to play...with either a 2 legged or 4 legged friend, love you and be loved and cared for. Moose loves tug o war!!
He is great with people and kids. He has a very strong prey drive so he can not be in a home with small animals, small dogs, or cats.

He is an INDOOR DOG ONLY. We love him dearly and the only reason we have to rehome him is because we had to downsize and already have another large dog.
He is in Round Rock, TX. Please email Jill Brown at jbrown7414@yahoo.com.

Harley is a cute, affectionate full-bred Pomeranian. He is four years old. He is a very good watchdog, and good with kids ages two and up. He loves to play by himself outside, or lay by your side as you read or watch TV. Harley likes to sleep in his comfy kennel. He is very friendly, is well-trained and house-trained... he is very good for the right owner. We are letting go of Harley because we are starting a family, and he is very whiny around newborns. He will do better with a different family. He is great with kids who are a bit older. He has AKC papers, all current shots, and is on a flea/heart-worm prevention schedule. He is also neutered. Thank you for reading. Please email us at dave@firepitceramics.com. No phone calls, please.

Kate is a sweet, affectionate, and strikingly beautiful 5-year old female Pointer/Pit mix who loves being around people. She's really a lap dog in a medium-sized dog's body. If Kate had her way, she’d be curled up all day on a couch next to you, with a blanket over her, a pillow under her head, and her plush toys in her arms—that’s how she rolls. Kate’s gentle and is the perfect house guest. If you leave her in your house, she won’t touch a thing. She’s housetrained, has mastered some basic commands, and is highly trainable (she’ll move mountains for a treat). Kate’s been spayed and micro-chipped, and is healthy as can be.

Kate does have some issues (potentially trainable) with certain dogs and especially cats, so she’d do best in a home where she can be the only pet. Kate's a medium-energy dog and would appreciate a backyard to occasionally frolic in, or a person willing to take her on a few short walks each day to stretch her legs.

If Kate sounds like a match for you, you should meet. Once you see Kate’s sweet face and she showers you with kisses, you’ll be hooked. Contact Dave at dkwolpert AT gmail.com, or 512-799-4752.

Sadly, we need to find a new home for our sweet dogs. My toddler was just diagnosed with asthma and the dogs are making it difficult for him to breathe without a lot of medication, the doctor recommended we find a home for them. In the mean time, they are having to spend most of their time in the kitchen or outside, away from us and they deserve better, they are very lovable and need more attention.

We adopted the dogs together at 3 months old and they have been best friends ever since. Sintra is a calm and cuddly love bug. Winston is also a cuddler but he's goofy too and definately wants to be more active, he is the BEST running dog. I can take them both off-leash to the park and they are great, they run to greet the occasional bunny or other dog, but do come back when called. They love the dog park, well, what dog doesn't! Both are also very content hanging out around the house with you. They are house trained, basic manners (sit stay come). They just need need someone who is home a little more to love on them and take them on the walks. Here is a little snapshot of the dogs and their personalities:

"Hi, my name is Sintra (I'm the tan one, and I'm a girl) and this is my brother Winston (the black and white fellow). We're 6 years old and we live in Round Rock with our mom and dad and two little humans. We sleep inside at night together but love to go outside all day if the weather is nice! We like walking, swimming in ponds, riding in cars and Winston was a really good running buddy for mom...when she ran. I like to snuggle with my humans, I really think I was born the wrong size, I should have been a lap dog. I love my little humans too and I like to clean up after their meals, or during dinner if the boy will let me when mom is not looking! (That's where mom says I get my full figure from.) Mom and dad seem to be gone a lot more now and they have their hands full with the little humans when they are home. Mom doesn't run anymore either which is a bummer for Winston...and me. We really miss getting to play and go on walks and car rides and would like to play with you! ...or anyone really, we don't know any strangers :)"

They are up to date on all of their shots, heartworm and frontline. Please call Krystal at 512-789-4131 to learn a little more about them or to meet them.

Gracie is a one year-old Plott hound who survived the 2011 Montgomery and Grimes Counties wild fires. She will always have burn scars, but she healed nicely and in addition to achieving a healthy weight is now spayed, micro chipped and current on all her vaccinations. She is currently in a foster home with two other dogs and a cat, all of whom she gets along with very well, sharing toys and eating comfortably side-by-side. She loves going to the dog park and is enthusiastic about playing with other dogs of all sizes. In addition to her good manners with other animals, she is fully crate- trained, walks comfortably at “heel” on a walk, knows “sit” and “come” (“stay” is a work in progress), and is coming along well with her potty-training; she uses a bell as an alert to ask to go outside. Gracie has been treated poorly by people in her past and thus is still on the timid side with new people. She is incredibly sweet natured, and really wants a forever home in which someone will treat her kindly, love her, and spend time with her. She can go to a home with other dogs or cats, and would do fine with older children who would understand that she needs time to become comfortable in a new situation.

Want to give this sweet girl a forever home? Email Jessica at jfpatti14@yahoo.com or call 832-334-7849.

Rex is a 3 year old Dobie needing a forever home. He is house-trained, walks wonderfully on a lead, and loves his people! He was raised in home for the first 3 years of his life with little socialization, so he will need someone to teach him and be patient with him. Ideally he would do well in a home of a person who is retired or works out of their home.

I have cared for Rex for about 3 weeks now and he is as sweet as can be, but I am not home alot and he does not do well with me gone. When we are together, he is amazingly well-behaved, very smart, and strives to please me.

Let me know if you feel that you may be a good fit for Rex, I would love to visit with you about him.

For more information about Rex please contact Terri at treuwsaat@gmail.com or 512.797.4483.

My name is Millie and I am oh-so-excited about the opportunity to have a forever home with a forever human. I am a one-year-old female pointer/pit mix. People tell me I am smart, loyal and loving.

I've had quite a ride so far . . . my first owner got sick and couldn't keep me because she had to move in with family. My second owner had a cat. I had a great time at training class with the second owner and caught on to things really fast! On the other hand, the cat always just looked like dessert to me.

I am with a foster dad out in the country right now but I'm really anxious to get settled somewhere. I am healthy, spayed, micro-chipped and not a picky eater at all. I am very athletic and, if I do say so myself [blush], I would make a great agility dog.

I love runs and walks, but I'm also very contented just lying at the feet of my human. My main thing is being with my owner. And that's hard because (I'm embarrassed to say it) I don't really have one right now...

Two photos are attached. The one where I'm lying down was at my "City home" and the one where I'm standing up is my current [foster] "country home." I have a great attitude because I know I'll find the right human and this nomadic first year will just make me appreciate him/her all the more!

I'd sure like to be snuggled up in my forever home for the holidays! You can follow-up with me by calling Robin at (512) 496-9314.

Sally is a beautiful and mellow 45-pound Bernese Mountain mix who was found on the street in late September. She is approximately 3 years old, current on vaccinations, and has been microchipped and spayed. Sally is housebroken, calm, and very sweet. She has not yet met a person (adult, male/female, child) that she does not like, but she has had issues with other dogs, perhaps out of fear or under socialization. A canine behavior consultant evaluated Sally and believes that with obedience training she will be fine with other dogs. She already is a great companion dog!

A good fit for Sally is a family that can spend time walking and playing with her and who is committed to providing her with obedience training. Call Susan at (970) 274-8031 (in downtown Austin) to learn more about Sally.

I am a 2 year old pug mix that Pug Rescue Austin saved from a local kill shelter. I'm an athletic and playful brindle mix who is loyal to all my friends-- human and canine:) I weigh in at around 30 lbs and have the cutest face and ears. I know basic commands and I'm obedient in my foster home where I feel very relaxed. What I love to do more than anything is hiking with my friends and taking trips to the dog park to make new ones, too!

I will do best in a home with a calm, confident leader who understands my need for exercise and socialization. If you are interested in learning more about me, please go to www.austinpugrescue.com and fill out an adoption application.

Tiger was found on the outskirts of San Antonio and is about 3 years old. He is heart worm negative neutered, and now has all of his shots. He has been working on commands, has gotten the hang of housebreaking and is on a good schedule :). Tiger gets along with other dogs and loves kids. He likes to go on walks and does well on a leash. Overall a great companion for someone in need. Please contact Jamie at jtayxxx@yahoo.com

Willis has been living with our family for the last 2 years. He's a shelter rescue, we fell in love with his big brown eyes and you will too!! We think he's 7 and a manchester terrier mix. Willis is very calm and quiet, house trained and trustworthy overnight without a crate, and he's never been destructive or aggressive. Willis has all his current vaccinations, has no known health issues, and has been regularly medicated for fleas/ticks/heartworm, he's also been neutered, and micro chipped, which we will update with your information. We've been very happy with Willis, and appreciated an older dog who was already trained and well behaved, but our situation has changed and we must find him a new home, could that be with you??

He comes with all his gear, which includes his bed and lounging pillows (which he LOVES to do), a rubbermaid bin stocked with food and his treat jar, his toys, some grooming supplies, as well as his vet file for your records, and more. Please call Dee at (512) 986-5603 if you feel Willis is the dog you've been searching for!

"My name is Brutus! I am a white and brindle American Staffordshire Terrier. My foster family thinks I am roughly 6 months old. I was taken in after being threatened to be dumped off at the pound and I am now living the good life. There is only one thing missing...I need my furever home! I am current on all my shots, neutered, and on heartworm preventative. I am crate trained, potty trained, and GREAT on a leash. I am a very happy, energetic, and silly puppy. Oh and did I mention? I love everything! I love dogs, cats, kids, people....you name it! I come with a collar, food/water dish and two months worth of heartworm pills. Seriously, I am the whole package!! I will fetch a rope, wrestle with you, and then snuggle in your lap for hours! I can't WAIT to finally be with my furever family!!"

We are located in Abilene, TX and will be willing to work with the new adopter on transport arrangements. He will be available on Novermber 23, 2011. I am asking a $100 adoption fee.

Hi there, are you my new owner? If so, then my name is "Midas" and its wonderful to meet you. As you can see I am a very well built American Staffordshire Terrier. I am pure bred and come from a very long line of wonderful dogs. I am just shy of my 2nd birthday, and I love to play. I can make friends with your small dog and even your small children. I'm very alert and I have made an excellent watch dog for my previous owner. I am current on my rabies vacination and I am neutered, so I am all ready to go. I look forward to the ride home with you so that maybe you and I can talk a little more! Please contact Austin at austinbeck22@gmail.com.

Goober is a 4 month old Pit puppy who just completed a six week Puppy Basics class at The Canine Center for Training and Behavior. Goober's name explains him to the T. He a floppy little goofball who loves the water and sleeping on the sofa. His leash walking skills are tremendous for a puppy his age and he has a superb sit. Goober is going to be a big boy for sure by the looks of his HUGE feet!

I would love for Goober to continue his training and get his CGC...Canine Good Citizen. He's doing such a great job and I would like to know that he's being mentally challenged and learning good manners at his new home. Feel free to contact me at smoorebullies@yahoo.com to meet this little bugger.

Icarus is a 2yr old Catahuola who is hearing impaired. He is extremely loyal, playful and loving. 6months ago I tried to find him a knew home that would provide adequate running space, a loving family in a home where there was other dogs. Unfortunately, I was mislead and Icarus ended up in a home where he was tied up ignored and feed table slops. It broke my heart because it was hard to let him go in the first place however,I just wanted the best for him. I was lucky to be able to bring him home again. Icarus is potty trained and trained in sign. At this time I myself cannot provide well enough for him, we need a home with lots of room to run and possibly other dogs. If you think he is a good fit for you, please contact Anita at 956-566-2629 or incanwitch@gmail.com.

Meet Coco Latte! Coco was found locked in a ball field at a neighborhood park. She is a 6-8 month old mix of mostly pointer and retriever. She currently weight about 40 lbs. The scars around her neck indicate that Coco did not have the best start in life. Someone had let her grow into her collar until it became imbedded. Nevertheless, Coco loves people and other dogs. She has been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated and is heartworm negative. She is housebroken and understands 'sit' and 'down'. We're working on 'stay'. Coco is a bundle of energy and would make a great pet for an active household with seasoned dog owners. She would probably make a great agility dog, as well as a good running companion. Her ideal household would include an older dog to show her the ropes, but she would probably be fine as the only dog in a family, as long as she receives the attention and training she needs to reach her full potential. Coco can be around young children, with supervision. Cats are still an unknown. Please consider adopting Coco into your family! For more information, please contact Elodia, farenheit5@yahoo.com

Meet lovely Luna! Luna is a beautiful, long-haired white and black kitty. She's about 2 years old, spayed, and up-to-date on her vaccinations. Luna was found scrounging a parking lot/garage for bugs when she was found. Her fur was matted and she had fleas everywhere! Now, she's clean and well-fed. Luna is a quiet, affectionate cat who can't wait to find her forever home. For more information contact Becca at rabruzek@gmail.com

Hi my name is Dayo (pronounced day-o). I am a handsome 18 month old dachshund with a lot of love to give. I like to hang out with my stuffed animals and play with people and other animals. I want to find a permanent home because I have been through a lot lately. I was picked up by my foster mom outside of Houston after I was dropped out of a car at a gas station. Even through everything I have remained in good spirits and listen well to those who take care and love me.

I love to play and snuggle and I promise I am potty trained and great on a leash. My foster mom has me up to date on shots and neutered. I also come with free flea and tick preventative for a year as well as heart worm preventative.

If you want to take the next step with Dayo, I will conduct a phone interview along with a home visit. I want it to go right the first time around.

If interested, contact Lacey Wiseman at laceywiseman@yahoo.com.

Jack is a 5 year old beagle hound mix that came from a home where he was abused and kept chained outdoors. He has been neutered, is current on shots and is being treated for heartworms. Jack is happiest outdoors on long walks but also enjoys the comforts of air conditioning and dog beds. He gets along with the dogs in his foster home but should not be with small dogs or cats. Jack is shy and will need time to learn to trust his new owner. He is housebroken and is using a dog door in his foster home. Please email trishashirey@gmail.com for more information on Jack.

Bumby is a collie Shepard mix that was taken from a home where he spent his life chained outdoors and abused cruelly. He was filthy, matted and flea infested. He has been neutered, is current on his shots and is currently being treated for heartworms. He gets along well with the other dogs in his foster home but should probably not be in a home with small dogs or cats. He loves to walk on a leash and enjoys playing with toys and the other dogs in his foster home. Bumby spends most of his day relaxing indoors on a dog bed but is an attentive watch dog too. The vet believes he is about 10 years old but he looks and acts much younger than that. He is housebroken and uses a dog door in his foster home. He is being crate trained also. Bumby was very fearful of men because of his abusive past but he is learning to trust people. He will need an owner who is patient and experienced with shy dogs. Please email trishashirey@gmail.com for more information on Bumby.

Junebug was taken from a home where he spent his life chained outdoors and treated badly by a man who also abused his wife. He was flea infested, underweight and anemic. Despite his sad beginnings, you will never see a happier dog! He loves everyone he meets and craves attention. He fits in well with the other dogs at his foster home and loves air-conditioning, comfortable dog beds, playing with dogs and lots of toys. He walks well on a leash and enjoys his walks. He is housebroken and uses a dog door in his foster home. He has been neutered, had all of his shots and is currently being treated for heartworms. His little body is covered with scars but his constant happy expression shows that he has put his cruel past behind him. Junebug weighs 43 pounds, is 7 years old and deserves to spend the last half of his life in comfort and in a home where he will be treasured for the jewel that he is. Please email trishashirey@gmail.com for more information on Junebug.

Duke is a one year old boxer mix who’s currently staying with the nice family who rescued him from a shelter. He’s a fantastic boy, weighing approximately 50 pounds, with an active and adventurous side! He's energetic, happy go lucky, free-spirited, and independent, and his people adore him. When he goes for walks, he stays right beside his person, sits and stays on command and has a real zest for life. He loves to run, sniff, jump, and chase balls, Frisbees or anything else that bounces or squeaks. He’d be the perfect fit for their family . . . except . . . Duke does not get along with the other dog or cats in the household. His rescuers were so taken with him that they hired a trainer to work with the dogs and even sent Duke to boot camp where, being a quick study, he learned basic commands like “sit”, “stay” and “here”.

Duke is now a well-trained dog who STILL doesn’t get along with the other dog and continues to chase the kitties! After much painful consideration, his people have decided that the answer is to find a better home for Duke. Since he loves their walks and outings so much, they think he would do best in a home with active people who will take him to the park or on hikes or to play Frisbee in a field. Given his bossy behavior with the other family dog and cats, Duke’s trainer thinks he should be the only pet in the household. (That way, he can be “top dog” ). Also, given his exuberant playfulness, his folks think he’d do best in a home with older children (middle or high school). That’s fine with Duke because he cherishes his role as baby of the family.

Duke’s perfect family is out there so we’re asking for your help making the perfect match! His situation is critical since his rescue family must find placement for him or face taking him to another shelter. Please consider opening your heart and home to this great guy or forwarding this to your friends & family! Contact Eli ASAP at eli_m_roberts@yahoo.com or 512.671.0290 to schedule an introduction!

Chloe is an adorable Chihuahua mix who wants nothing more than a neck scratch or ear rub. If you let her, she would love to be a lap dog, however she is also happy to go on walks. She is six years old, weighs 20 lbs and comes up to your knees. We are not sure what her mom was- maybe a terrier or maybe even a lab mix! People always stop to tell us how cute she is; she has the perpetual puppy look without the puppy energy level. We are heartbroken to give Chloe up but our family has grown to include a baby and Chloe would prefer a family without children. Chloe has had excellent vet care, recent teeth cleaning, is spayed, and has always received all preventative exams. She is good with cats but would prefer a home without other dogs. Please contact Stephanie at slfreedman@yahoo.com or (512) 632-8102 for more information.

Meet Norton. This lovely 2-3 year old boy was found stray in Georgetown and now he needs a good home. He is a unique looking guy - almost like and Olde English bulldog with a mastiff's head screwed on. He's also got the "bull-headedness" of that combination, so he needs a person to adopt him who will work with him to make sure he doesn't push you around too much. He is neutered, up-to-date on his vaccinations, and heartworm negative. This guy does have one health issue, he has some hip dysplasia. We'll have full vet information for anyone interested. Norton's adoption fee is $50 from Georgetown Animal Outreach. Contact Laura, his foster coordinator, at txcodigirl@gmail.com if you are interested.

Aquara is a happy little Lab, Dachshund, and Min-Pin mixed breed dog. She was born on Feb 3, 2010, and with her astrological sign being Aquarius, she was named Aquara.

Aquara is about 30 pounds with a sweet personality and a lot of love to give. If you need a walking pal she is definitely your girl. Aquara is still a young lady so she really enjoys her chew toys and playing outside with her family. She could use some additional training but she is a very bright and will be an outstanding student. She is house and crate trained.

The reason for us trying to find a home for Aquara is, we have 3 year old triplets and as much as I love her, Iím not able to give her the time, love and attention she deserves. Though she's been raised with small children, Aquara would be much happier in a home with children over the age of 8 or in an all adult home that would provide her with the love and attention she needs. She's not been exposed to many other dogs so it may be best for her to be an only dog but introductions to your dog would be welcomed.

Beautiful girl, 1.5-2 years old in Williamson County is shy, timid, and in need of an understanding, patient loving home. Vetted and crate trained, this girl needs a forever home. Someone who will understand her shy and timid nature and patiently work with her. This girl was found ferel at 5 months old. She has a sweet gentle nature and will take treats from your hand once she gets to know you. Would be happy just to have a safe backyard and calm home with someone she can trust. She is gorgeous! Spayed, chipped, on heartworm prevention, up to date on vaccinations. Also crate trained, house trained and uses doggy door. She will sit for treats:)

Contact her foster mom at tallulah2@peoplepc.com or call 512-585-5158.

There is a $50.00 adoption fee.

Williamson Co. Regional Shelter, Georgetown, TX (Austin, TX area)

Pic of Penny, my shy scared of everything ferel foster, loves water. Got her a new pool and she loves it; jumping in the water, then out racing around the yard, grabbing a little bunny toy and then jumping back in her pool, over and over. What a change to see this girl coming out of her shell and having fun!

Molly is about 8 years old. She is 1/2 greyhound and 1/2 lab, weighs about 42 pounds. She is very active and loves kids. She is sweet, kind and gentle, but protective of her home. She likes her stuffed animals and she likes to go on walks. She would rather run free but my fear is she will be hit by a car. The greyhound in her wants to run and run and run until she is tired!

She loves attention and likes to be right by my side. She has had all her shots. No illnesses, no fleas. She is extremely LOW MAINTENANCE, she does not require grooming with her short hair...

She loves to snuggle in bed... she can be around other dogs but takes getting adjusted to, but not long - she loves to go to the dog parks and she LOVES to ride in the car. I am moving very soon into an apartment and I can’t take Molly because of the weight limit.

Koda is a 2.5 year old pup that I rescued from a friend after he was born. Koda is an 80 lb mix between a German short haired pointer, and Boxer is my best guess. He is a terrific dog! Koda absolutely LOVES for anyone to throw a ball, and gets along with all walks of life. He is great around other dogs and children, and I think he would prefer to have one or both of these around. It has just been me and him for over 2 years, so he loves to socialize when given the chance. He is house trained, crate trained, knows his basic commands and is very mild tempered. He loves to stretch his legs at the park, in a pool or just about anywhere that someone will let him. When he is not wanting to play or be scratched, he usually rests his little head by you and your television… unless it’s his bed time and he’ll make his way there (he has a nice little nook in my closet that he prefers). If you are interested in adopting Koda, please contact me at patrick.farley@yahoo.com or call me at 806-441-7279. Thanks.

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.

Trim and fit in her black coat and white bib, Audrey Hepburn is such a delightful princess. With the grace of a dancer, high stepping like a little filly, she circles the yard and then comes to be petted. Inside in her room she sleeps soundly, patiently waiting for another glorious morning - to Audrey Hepburn, every morning is the first and
best morning.

This precious little dog is in excellent health, is house trained, walks well on a leash, and sits perfectly for a treat. She is twenty months old, weighs 45 pounds, is spayed, has had all immunizations, and is heartworm negative. She has life-time basic classes at PETSMART which transfer to her new owner.

For more information, please contact Elizabeth Cumberland, elizabeth42@earthlink.net.

Patches is a sweet 1 1/2 year old mixed breed girl who has been at the Georgetown City Shelter for over four months. She's good with other dogs (of course, careful introductions are always a must), she's fine with children, and she's very alert and interested in pleasing. We've had Patches out at several different off-site adoption events and she is great at all of these - one of the calmest dogs of all. Patches would be a great training partner, she's a natural athlete. Of course she's up-to-date on all of her vaccinations, HW negative and on preventative, and spayed. She's also housebroken. And, did we mention, she loves a good car ride! Since she's been at the shelter for so long, her time is getting short. We need a good home for her soon. For more information contact Laura at txcodigirl@gmail.com and we'll set-up a meet and greet with you.

I started my life out as an outside dog. From what my foster parents can tell I grew up outside tethered without a lot of interaction. I am six years old. Don't think of me as an old lady though because I can run and play with the best of them but I also like to snuggle up on the couch or bed and I am an infamous snorer. I was an owner surrender to the local high-kill animal shelter in Austin, TX where my former family said I was rough at play. From what my foster family can tell, I'm a labradoodle and I play like a labradoodle with other doodles. So far I love my foster family, with a 7 year old girl and two foster sibling dogs. I get along great with them all. I do chase cats and play rough with my small foster sibling who barks incessantly at me and who kinda looks like a cat. My foster family thinks I would do really well with older children, a cat free home and a home with larger dogs. I would however really like to be the only dog though as I love all the attention. I do not like my ears touched (probably because of untreated painful infections) and my foster parents are working with me on that but for now a home without children that might pull on my ears would be the best.

I am heart worm negative, up to date with all shots, house broken, crate trained and microchipped. I am good with older children and dogs, but not so great with cats.
