Late last night, we received the incredible news that our new friends at are going to accept Hogan on a VERY temporary basis to keep him safe. 🙌🏼 The best thing we can do to thank them is get our boy a safe place to land in or around ATX ASAP, so here’s what he needs:

🙏🏻female only foster home or one with a calm, gentle, patient male figure
🙏🏻adults only
🙏🏻another calm dog ok - MUST be able to fully separate at first so he can decompress
🙏🏻austin or nearby since we will be sponsoring a training session for him to help with some of his fears

Francis is a 5.5 year old male rottie mix at the Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter in Georgetown, TX. Francis will need a special, patient adopter (or foster).

Introducing Francis. He's a hidden gem, and his former foster wants you to know all about him. Francis did great in the home with cats and other dogs. He is reported to be house-trained and learned the dog door in just an hour! Fancy that! 😉 Francis can be a little on the shy side and he needs someone to be patient with him while he figures out that he is safe in his new home. Once he has learned that he's safe, he wants to be wherever his person is - if you've ever heard of a Velcro dog, then you know what we're talking about. So if you're looking for a dog who will bond to you very strongly, come meet Francis. He will repay your patience with a life filled with love. Email [email protected] to schedule an appointment today.

Yogi is a 2 year old male at the Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter in Georgetown, Texas (just north of Austin in Central Texas). His notes say he's friendly with all ages, has lived with 2 other dogs (a fellow rottie and a small dog), high energy, loves walks, and loves water. He hasn't interacted with cats. The shelter is at critical capacity. Please adopt him so I'm not tempted to. 🙂

4 year old Dallas is at Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter in Georgetown, Texas. Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter is at "extreme" capacity. Last month, they ran out of room.

Dallas arrived at the shelter 8 days ago and is slowly decompressing based on vet tech notes - sweet but scared (understandable), was able to slip leash.

I have more connections with this shelter and can get rescues in touch with appropriate staff as needed.

Austin Animal Center is filled to the brim and are crating dogs in their conference room and cat building. The next step is to house crated dogs outside in front of evaporation coolers. While on the hunt for a possible foster on their website, I noticed a doberman is available for adoption or foster. A doberman is not a good fit typically for one of my current dogs.

Austin Animal Center is waving all adoption fees right now, so I'm a bit concerned with some breeds. Please see this link if you might be interested in him: https://adopt.adopets.com/pet/c6e73c51-698a-48fe-bd9f-ff7aac6e219a?tracking=138a84d3-f8af-4f2f-9fa6-a4e0e4b69a9f

💜 Zach is only 1 years old. I apologize for not having more details than what is on their website.

Today is a good day to:

1) Make a sign for your yard and hand out flyers with your Halloween candy if you're missing your furry family member.

2) Protect your furry family members by keeping them indoors so they don't get spooked by strange things roaming the streets. Seriously. My dog and I went through pet therapy training and they always had to pass the belligerent human and not freak out.

3) Not all dogs appreciate being dressed up. Please know your pet and avoid injury by trying to dress them in something cute.

Thanks!

I saw this precious senior, Plex, at Austin Animal Center (via Classic Canines page) if anybody has a heart for seniors! He's been there a month! He was owner surrendered with the mother of his children, Daisy (not a rottie), due to the landlord no longer allowing the breed. I'd love to see them stay together.
