Story
Hi, I'm Rosie. I'm a 1year old Boston mix that loves to run and explore around the yard. I'm sure you're wondering about my cleft but no worries I can eat and drink just fine. It gives me a super unique and cute look though. I love, love, love stuffed toys and antlers. I also LOVE to snuggle with my hoomans. I don't do so well with other females as I want to be the only Queen in the house but I play well with the gentlemen after proper introduction. I wasn't house or kennel trained when my rescue took me in and I came to my foster home but my foster mom worked hard on it with me and now I'm good if I'm let out regularly. My foster mom says I'm a joy to have around and I will make a great family member to the right family. If you're interested in meeting my cute self and make me part of your family please fill out an adoption application for me at adoption.poundpupandfriends.org. My adoption donation is $150 and for that I'm spayed, microchipped, up to date on my vaccines, heartworm. Negative and current on hw and flea prevention. I sure hope to meet my new furever family soon ❤ No out of state adopters accepted - Texas only. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Story
Meet Max... Max is a sweet guy who loves humans, small and big. He's good with most dogs as well. Max enjoys nothing more than being around his people and snuggle up but he's also ready to go for car rides or enjoy outdoor activities with his family. He is house and kennel trained. While Max is good with most dogs we recommend female dogs. Max only issue is that he is food aggressive with other dogs (not with people) so he has to get fed in his kennel or in another room. This is something that's easy to manage. Max was abandoned together with 6 other dogs in an apartment in deplorable conditions. He was there for 3 weeks when we heard about it and rescued him and the others. So we can't blame him that he does not want to share his food. Other than that he's an absolutely great dog. If you would like to make this cuddle bug a permanent member of your family please fill out our adoption application at adoption.poundpupandfriends.org

Story
Hello friends! I’m Gremlin the couch potato and I love to snack and snuggle. I am a 6 year old bully who loves to lounge and snuggle but I’ll turn circles for treats and play time! I will dance for snacks and I love it when you dance with me. I was rescued from a shelter in San Antonio in rough shape. After a long road I am now super ready to have a couch and a family to call my own. I do very well in the bath and I don’t mind having my nails trimmed. I am not a fan of other dogs but could do ok with an older, mellow male as U don't like hyper dogs that get into my face. Cats are a No No for me but I love all humans, large and small alike and I am a people pleaser. I love my daily strolls and get very excited when someone says the W word. (Walks are my favorite) If your interested in making me a furever member of your family please fill out an application for me at adoption.poundpupandfriends.org

Story
Henlo frien's! My name is Half Stache because I have half of a beautiful black mustache on my upper lip. I am a bundle of happy and ready to please. If you laugh at my shenanigans I will continue to do them to make you laugh! I'm a quirky guy who loves other dogs and loves to play play play! I love long long naps in the sun and snuggling with my foster brothers and sisters. I came from a rough place at the early age of four weeks in very bad shape but my foster mama says I am all ready for my fur-ever home! I am current on all vaccines and neutered as well as 99% house trained and fully crate trained. I love all humans big and small and other dogs and I even like to play with the kitties! I'm a great boy in search of a great home. If you are interested in making this sweet boy a furever member of your family please submit and adoption application.
