Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Chickpea, a delightful and smart dog with a playful and active personality. Chickpea currently resides in a foster home where she coexists peacefully with a cat, ignoring her feline companion and continuing with her activities. She's well-behaved when left alone, free-roaming the house and lounging on the couch or her bed. Chickpea is fully house-trained, going outside twice a day and quickly doing her business. At night, she sleeps soundly in her crate. Her leash manners are excellent, and she's always eager to go for a walk. Chickpea knows basic obedience commands like sit and stay, especially when there's a golf outing involved! Affectionate and eager for human interaction, Chickpea often pushes her head under her foster parent's hand for pets and enjoys cuddling on the couch. However, she is cautious around new people, especially men. While she warms up to women with the help of treats, her fear of men requires a patient and understanding approach. Chickpea's ideal day includes walks, playing fetch, chewing on toys, and snuggling on the couch. She loves to explore new scents, stick her head out of car windows, and inspect the washing machine. Her curiosity and playful nature make her a joy to have around. If you're ready to open your heart and home to a smart, loving, and playful companion, Chickpea is waiting to meet you. She'll steal your heart! Check out her instagram: @adopt_chickpea_trixie_

Story
Bobbie came to APA from the Austin Animal Center recently and is settling in with us. She has big feelings, as chihuahuas do! Bobbie can be a bit scared around new people or new situations; however, she warms up to new people quickly. She can be a real lapdog in no time, once she learns she can trust a new person. Bobbie exudes potential! Bobbie would prefer to be around older, mature children, if any. And, she can live with a well-matched dog friend. Bobbie is available for foster as well as adoption. Please come see Bobbie today!

Story
Hibiscus is undergoing Parvo treatment through APA! and is expected to make a full recovery. They are not quite out of the woods yet and will need a few more days to complete treatment before leaving the Parvo ward; but that doesn't mean they can't start getting the word out that they need an adopter lined up for when they are ready to leave on 8/21/24! If you would be interested in learning more about me you can email Matchmaker@austinpetsalive.org or come to the shelter and ask to meet them. Please be aware that they absolutely cannot go home until 8/21/24, or until they test negative, but we will be taking 1-2 people's information to be lined up for their adoption.

Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
A true sweetheart Bruno has the calmest energy and a funny sense of play: he'll throw his chewy to himself and catch it. Sometimes, while walking past you, he'll nose your hand quickly as if to say "hi there", It always catches me off-guard & it's so, so cute. Bruno is a tender soul & loves to snuggle. And those ears! He has the biggest ears I've ever seen! He is a treasure, mostly an inside dog he loves curling up on the sofa with his chewy. He loves raw cabbage& other veggies. Also, he's not opposed to eating your left over pizza crust. He has had seizures in the past, so needs an understanding owner. I haven't been able to afford medicine for him but feel like he may do so much better on it. Bruno needs more of the one on one attention he deserves. He has lived with dogs and cats in the past and does well with them. We have been packing and it's been hard on him knowing change is about to happen. He is very gentle and protective;a true earth angel. Praying he finds a loving home

Teddy is a ray of sunshine. He's small but thinks he's a big dog. A true and loyal friend looking for his new best buddy. He is spirited and lively, and he has the sweetest face, like a little fox. He's also a cuddle-bug! A real live teddy bear He has a charming personality. Its like he's not got a care in the world: if you pick him up, he just lets you. We have been in the middle of a move , so he could use some TLC. Mostly an inside dog but loves to take walks and relax in the sun. He has lived with other dogs and always has tried his might to be the alpha even though he’s small. He has lived with cats and does well with them. He's always slept in the bed right by my daughter’s side He’s fond of cabbage & pizza crust. After he was fixed he experienced seizure so needs an understanding companion in case it happens again You’ll see when you meet him that he’s the best friend you could ever ask for. Praying he finds a loving home and someone to cuddle with.

Good with dogs, House-trained,
Story
Frosty is gentle and laid back. She got her name because my daughter thought the marking on her forehead looked like an icicle. She loves curling up on the sofa and relaxing with a chewy. She is not getting the attention she deserves and she can sense the change as she sees us packing. Frosty is a cozy companion. She is mostly an inside dog but loves walks and car rides. She is fine with sleeping independently, but would love to sleep beside you as well. I love the way her ears look like fairy wings when she perks them up. It's so cute when she cozies up under her blanket, she likes to make sure she's covered up just so. Frosty has lived with both dogs and cats and has done well with them. She has always had other dogs around but has an independent streak as well. I cant stand the thought of surrendering her to a shelter. She's a very good girl, all she needs are people to love and a chewy to chew on. We are praying she finds her way into a kind, and loving home. God Bless

Story
Juju is a frisky little spark of joy. She’s a sweet and protecting little lapdog with a funny sense of play. She loves to play with sparkly, shiny things, and has very confident, girly energy. Whether it’s on walks or sitting at the computer or doing yard work she will be right by your side.. She has always slept on the bed and loves to cozy up right next to me when its bedtime. She is a social butterfly but is very particular about her company. If she chooses you for a companion you’ll have a loyal friend forever. She thrives in calm and peaceful environments, likes car rides, but again, she will want to be sitting right on your lap as you drive. She’s often around her brother and best friend, Vladimir. (https://www.adoptapet.com/pet/42243936) We would love it if they were adopted together, but it’s not required. she’s extremely cherished we pray she finds a kind loving home

Story
Vlad is very playful, with a sleek appearance and colored like vanilla cream. Sometimes when he’s frisky he’ll do this thing where he bares his fangs but doesn’t bite and it’s the cutest thing ever. He’s like a little vampire sometimes. He likes to be outside for periods of time but he’s mostly an inside dog. He’s very communicative when it comes to playtime. He’ll paw at you or squeak his toy to get your attention and when you’re looking at your phone or computer he’ll get in front of the screen like “look at me hooman” oh my gosh it’s so sweet. If you like him, you might want to check out our other dog, Juju, to adopt along with him. They’re best friends, like peas in a pod, very close and they love playing together. We would love them to be adopted together so they don’t lose their bond, but it’s okay to adopt separately. We just want him to go to a loving home that will play with him and care for him as needed.

Cedar Park, TX
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Sunny and his sister Sugar were emergency rehomes from a friend of a friend. He has been with us for 3 years. He is about 5 years old. Sunny is extremely cuddly. He basically eats and sleeps. He has never shown an interest in toys, only in being on our laps. He is affectionate and lazy. Sunny has been living with other dogs in the home and does very well with them. He is everyone’s best friend and has never shown any sign of aggression. He has not had any interaction with cats or small animals. Sunny is house trained, and crate trained, but has never shown an interest in learning tricks. He is the ultimate couch potato. His temperament is one of aloofness. He will basically go along with whatever. Although taking both is not necessary, Sunny and Sugar (also listed on this site) are quite bonded and we would love for someone to take them both.

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Jager seems to be a happy dog despite only having one eye and I feel he would pair well with an older couple or person. Little dogs seem to do best with families with no kids although I do not know how he is with children. His owner was an elderly lady that passed and needs to find someone that can give him the Love & attention he needs. I don’t know if he knows any tricks but always wants to be held like a baby. Seems to love the blow dryer after bath time. Doesn’t seem to like animals around his food bowl. He gets along with my 11 yr old female Australian Cattle Dog. Doesn’t bark like most little dogs do. He only barks if my dog does so he doesn’t seem to know what he is barking at. Night time is harder for him to see since he only has one eye as well as shadows. Can go up and down flights of stairs.
