Tracy’s Paws Rescue - Long Term Stays, Hondo, TX (2026)

11/11/2026

Meet Yuka, a beautiful girl with a heart as big as her smile! ❤️ This smart, treat-motivated sweetheart found herself in an underfunded shelter, and sadly, no one ever came looking for her. But Yuka hasn't let that dim her sparkle or her love for life. She absolutely adores people and gets along wonderfully with other dogs. She's the kind of girl who wants to be part of all your adventures — romping around the backyard, taking neighborhood strolls, exploring hiking trails, and then settling in after a day of fun with her favorite people. Yuka has so much love, loyalty, and happiness to give. She was once a girl nobody came looking for, but now she's hoping someone will come looking just for her. Could you be the happily ever after she's been waiting for? ❤️

Meet Yuka. This dog has it all.

Yuka is about 2 years old and weighs 26 pounds. When I tell you she is smart, I mean smart as a whip. She is attentive, food motivated, eager to please, and will be a star pupil in any training class.

She loves everybody people and dogs of all shapes and sizes and she has absolutely no fear aggression. Honestly, she could almost apply for a job as a Walmart greeter.

I found Yuka at the Weslaco, Texas shelter in deep South Texas. She had no collar, no tag, no microchip, was not spayed, was loaded with fleas, and no one came looking for her.

We are so happy she is here with us now. Yuka would make an excellent addition to just about any family setting I can think of, as long as her family is able to give her the exercise, structure, and attention she deserves.

Meet Dove, a girl whose beauty shines so much brighter after everything she has been through. When she first arrived, she was in very rough shape, but look at her now! Her coat has grown back, her confidence has blossomed, and this once fragile girl has transformed into an absolutely beautiful soul. But Dove has discovered something along the way: she knows what she wants out of life! She's ready to be the queen of her very own castle, where she can soak up all the love, enjoy the comforts of home, and be someone's special girl. She has worked so hard to blossom, and now it's her turn to be cherished. Dove isn't asking for a kingdom, just a home where she can wear her invisible crown and rule with all the love in her heart. After all, every queen deserves her castle! 👑

Meet Dove!

Dove is a 3-year-old sweetheart who weighs about 22 pounds and came to Tracy's Paws from a South Texas shelter. This little lady is packed with personality and charm!

When you first meet Dove, she may need about 30 minutes to warm up and feel comfortable in a new environment. But once she realizes shes safe and can trust you, her true colors shine through. She transforms into an affectionate, loving companion who enjoys being close to her people and soaking up attention.

Dove is confident, knows what she likes, and isn't afraid to express herself. In fact, if she could talk, she’d probably tell you she’d much rather be the queen of her castle than share the spotlight with another dog. Because of her strong personality, Dove may be happiest as the center of attention in a home where she can enjoy all the love for herself.

If you're looking for a loyal companion with plenty of character and a heart full of love, Dove just might be your perfect match.

Think Dove could be the one for you? Please submit an application and let us know!

Dove is located at our shelter near San Antonio, TX and is available with approved application and confirmed adoption. Her adoption fee is $325.

Somewhere along the way, the Mama dogs have started fading into the background, and my heart aches for them. 💔 These girls have given so much of themselves. They have loved, nurtured, protected, and raised their babies, and now that their puppies have grown up and moved on, they are still waiting for someone to choose them. Some may be shy when you first meet them, needing a little patience and reassurance before they let you see their beautiful hearts. Others are the Walmart greeters of the dog world, ready to welcome everyone with wagging tails, happy smiles, and endless affection. Every single one of them has a story, a personality, and so much love left to give. They deserve more than being overlooked. They deserve soft beds, warm homes, full bellies, family traditions, and someone who promises to love them forever. This Christmas, let's make sure the Mama dogs aren't forgotten. They spent so much of their lives giving love. Isn't it time someone gave that love back? All they want for Christmas is a home to call their own. 🎄🐾❤️ Top left is Brandy. Top middle is Glory. Top right is Izzie. Bottom left is Pepper. Bottom middle is Orchid. Bottom right is Jewel.

But when the day's adventures are over, Lyrica would love nothing more than to slow down, curl up beside her person, and soak up all the love and affection she deserves. She's the perfect blend of playful energy and loving companionship. Lyrica isn't asking for a perfect family, just one that will include her in life's little adventures and love her forever. Could your home be the one she's been waiting for?

Orchid's days as a mama may be behind her, but her own happily ever after is still waiting to begin. ❤️ Her puppies have grown up, and one has already found a family to call their own, but sweet Orchid is still waiting for someone to choose her. This tenderhearted girl is as sweet and gentle as they come, with a fun, active side that loves going on hikes, exploring the world, and happily romping around the yard. She's given so much love as a mama, and now it's her turn to be someone's everything. She doesn't need another litter of puppies or another job to do. She simply needs a family, a soft place to land, and people who will cherish her for the rest of her life. Orchid's babies are growing up and finding their happily ever after. Isn't it time Mama got hers, too?

Oakley has been a very good boy this year, and Santa seems to think so too! 🎅🎄 But there’s one very special gift still missing from Oakley’s Christmas list… a forever family to call his own. This goofy, happy, active, friendly boy is everything you would expect a normal pup to be. He loves life, is full of personality, and is ready to make memories with someone who will love him unconditionally. Oakley shouldn't have to spend another holiday waiting for his happily ever after. Somewhere out there is a family with his name written all over it. Maybe this Christmas, Santa can help make Oakley's biggest wish come true!

Oakley, Long Term Stay
INTAKE 12/19/2025
Male, Terrier mix, Black and White with Tan markings
1 year old
35 lbs
(Mom is 25-30 lbs)

Poor Oakley hasn’t received a single application, and we can’t figure out why. He came to Tracy’s Paws from a hoarding situation in Pearsall, Texas, when he was just a tiny puppy. Today, he’s about 1 years old and weighs 35 pounds. We don’t expect him to get much bigger, but one thing is for sure—this boy is all legs!

Oakley is smart, eager to please, and an all-around good boy. He’s been participating in playgroups and does great with the other dogs. He also loves treats, which means he’ll be a lot of fun and very easy to train.

If you’re looking for a young dog with a great personality, Oakley might be your perfect match. And if you can’t adopt, please help us by sharing his post. The right family may be just one share away.

Meet Auburn, a beautiful girl whose quiet heart has caused her to be overlooked for far too long. ❤️ Auburn is a shy soul who needs a little time to decompress, settle in, and learn that the world can be a safe and wonderful place. She may not be the first to run up and ask for attention, but give her patience, kindness, and a little understanding, and you'll discover a girl who is happiest simply being near her people. Just look at that smile — it could light up your entire world! Auburn would absolutely love a home with another calm, confident dog who can show her the ropes and help her find her confidence. She doesn't need someone to change her; she just needs someone willing to give her the time to blossom. Please don't let her shyness keep her from knowing the love of a forever family. Sometimes the quietest hearts have the most beautiful love to give.

Meet Auburn! 🐾
Who could resist this smiley girl to come home to after a long, hard day at work? Auburn is a beautiful Australian Cattle Dog mix with a tender heart and the sweetest smile. She may need a little time to warm up in new situations, but once she does, her loving and gentle nature truly shines.

Auburn would thrive in a home with another friendly, gentle dog to help boost her confidence and show her the ropes. She’s a soft, affectionate girl who forms deep bonds and loves being close to her people after a warm up period. She is super treat motivated, but who doesn’t love food as a way to their heart?

With a little patience and a lot of love, Auburn will blossom into the most loyal companion—her happy, smiley personality is just waiting to brighten someone’s home.

Meet Jewel, and just like her name, she truly is a gem! 💎 This sweet girl came into rescue with her precious puppies, and one by one, every single one of her babies found their forever homes. But somehow, Mama Jewel is still waiting for someone to choose her. She is the ultimate Walmart greeter, ready to welcome everyone she meets with a happy heart and a whole lot of love! She gets along wonderfully with both her canine friends and humans, and she has the sweetest personality to match her adorable face. And let's not forget that underbite — quite possibly the cutest little smile you've ever seen! Jewel spent her time being a mama, watching her babies leave for their happily-ever-afters, and now it's her turn. She deserves to know what it's like to be someone's baby, to have a family who cherishes her, and to finally have a place where she belongs. Her puppies got their happily-ever-after. When will it be Jewel's turn?

Meet Shaggy, a one-of-a-kind little character who is waiting for someone to see just how special he truly is! This spunky boy is quirky, lovable, and downright hilarious, with the funniest little expressions that are sure to make you laugh every single day. He has a personality all his own and a way of making you smile without even trying. Sadly, Shaggy has been overlooked for far too long, and we can't help but wonder how much longer this sweet boy will have to wait for someone to choose him. Behind those silly expressions and playful antics is a dog who deserves a family to call his own. Shaggy isn't asking for much, just a chance, a cozy place to call home, and someone who will love him for all the wonderfully quirky things that make him Shaggy. Please don't let this special boy keep getting passed by. ❤️

Shaggy
Intake: 1/16/2026
Male, Poodle, Mixed Breed, Cream

Meet Shaggy!
Shaggy is a cute little 13.12 lb Chihuahua–Terrier mix who came to us from Laredo, Texas, where he had been living in a backyard with several other dogs and was covered in fleas and ticks.

When he first arrived at Tracy’s Paws, Shaggy was understandably unsure of people. We don’t believe he had much handling in his previous life, and at first he would curl his lip and give us a bit of a stink-eye. But as the days passed and he realized he was safe, his true personality began to shine through. Underneath that cautious start is a very sweet, gentle little boy.

Shaggy is about four years old. Because he needs a little time to warm up to new people, we are recommending a home without small children, where he can feel secure and build trust at his own pace.

The good news is that Shaggy is heartworm-negative and Chagas-negative, and he is more than ready to trade rescue life for a quiet home of his own.

What Shaggy would love most is a soft lap, a patient heart, and a kind home where he can continue to blossom.

If you think you might be the right match for this sweet little guy, please apply online to adopt Shaggy.

Molly is a tender-hearted, shy little girl who doesn't ask for much out of life. She isn't looking for grand adventures or a world full of excitement. All she really dreams of is having someone she can call her very own, someone who will gently reassure her that she's safe, wrap their arms around her, and let her cuddle close whenever she needs a little extra love. Molly may take a little time to let her heart unfold, but underneath that shy exterior is a girl who simply wants to belong. She deserves a forever home where patience is given freely, love is never questioned, and she is cherished for the precious soul she is. Somewhere out there is a person whose arms will feel like home to Molly. We hope she finds them soon. ❤️

Meet Molly, a petite, soft-hearted long-coat Chihuahua mix is ready for a quieter life where she can finally feel safe and loved. At 17 pounds and just about 2 years old, Molly has all the makings of a little best friend—gentle, sweet, and happiest when she’s close to her person.

Molly was found on the expressway, and while we don’t know much about her past, we can tell you this: She doesn’t have a mean bone in her body. She can be a little nervous when hands come in for pets, as if she’s still learning that kindness is the rule now—not the exception. With a patient adopter and a soft lap, she settles in beautifully and will continue to thrive with someone who’s home a lot and has time to help her continue to build the confidence she has already started to show.

Molly’s eyes have shown some tear staining, but we’re already working on it, and it doesn’t take away from what she truly is: A beautiful little soul who just wants to be cherished.

Molly will not do well in a home where people are gone all the time. She’s the kind of girl who’s looking for a lifestyle with couch time, companionship, and calm comfort—the simple things that mean everything to a dog who’s been through too much.

Molly is located in Hondo, Texas. Molly’s Heartworm has been treated and she is chagas negative.

If you would like to apply for Molly, you can apply online at tracyspawsrescue.org.
