Story
Melbourne is a German Shepherd/Cattle Dog mix with a calm demeanor and an adventurous spirit. He is currently being fostered at an indoor/outdoor boarding facility in Seguin, TX, but he’s eagerly awaiting a foster or adoptive home where he can thrive. Melbourne is an affectionate dog who bonds deeply with his people and enjoys being part of their lives. Whether it’s joining you for a hike, exploring a new trail, or simply hanging out in the backyard, he’s always ready for an adventure. His laid-back nature makes him easy to have around, but he also has the energy and enthusiasm to keep up with an active lifestyle. Although Melbourne is friendly with other dogs, he would do best as the only dog in his home, where he can soak up all the attention. He thrives in a structured environment and would be a perfect match for someone who enjoys an active lifestyle and is looking for a loyal companion to share it with. Melbourne’s calm and adaptable nature means he can settle in easily, whether it’s a relaxed evening at home or an exciting day out. He’s looking for a family or individual who will appreciate his affectionate personality and adventurous side. If you’re ready to provide Melbourne with the loving home he deserves, he’s ready to fill your life with companionship, joy, and plenty of memorable adventures.

Story
This girl has it all - beauty, brains, and more! Let's start with her beauty - just look at her luxurious coat, so soft, almost a bit silky. Next, let's talk about her intelligence. With some guidance, she picks up on things pretty easily. Take leash walking, for instance. She had no idea what a leash was when she first arrived, and has now made steady progress with walking on one. Oh, and in addition to beauty and brains, this girl is athletic! She could play ball until the cows come home. She wasn't sure how to retrieve the ball initially but she will now bring it back to you so the fun can continue! Birdie is sure to bring lots of fun and love to whoever adopts this sweet girl!

Story
Kilala- 1 year old multi breed mix. The sweetest girl with humans but can be a little shy with other dogs (no aggressive history) it just takes her time to come out of her shell. She is a professional sock thief and takes pride in that role. She knows basic commands and is potty trained but she is quite hyperactive due to her breeding and still needs someone patient to help her work towards her goals. She adores cuddles and regardless of her size thinks she is a lap dog!

Story
Chopper loves fetch, has learned to sit for a treat and is getting very familiar with the terms “off” and “leave it” 🤣 he’s a great listener with the right motivation. He can be very shy at first before he turns into a playful goofball that loves to go on walks, play with a ball, and chew on bones. He is working on crate training (but doesn’t love it) as he does not like being separated from his people. He is almost fully potty trained with some accidents indoors due to never being in a house before. He is intrigued by cats but not aggressive (so far), and is good with other dogs as long as they are good to him. He is fearful in new environments but has warmed up to car rides with the promise of a pup cup.

Story
My name is Lil Man aka Deuce. Deuce for two since I'm getting a second chance at life after being in the shelter. My foster Dad says I'm living life to the fullest and trying really hard at forgetting my first life. I'm still shy around some people but my foster has been teaching me to be less fearful of strangers. I would love you to help me with slow introductions when I meet new people. People always say how beautiful my brindle coat is. I'm very smart and will sit and speak for my treats, I am learning to play ball and will jump in the air to get it! I'm still working on the bring it back all the time, every time. But I'm working on it! I get along well with other dogs and I'm a great watch dog. I like to make sure my people are safe and taken care of. I love being outside in the sun and playing with my dog foster siblings or other dogs. I love the yard and think being outside is swell. When I come inside I'm a very good boy and don't get on the couch or jump on people. I do like to give little licks and kisses to the people I feel safe with. I have a zest for life and like to go for walks and runs and to play in the river. I'm potty trained and stay out during the day in the sunshine. I always try to ensure the squirrels know I'm the bosss. At night I like to sleep inside with my pals. Whoever adopts me will have to be a little patient and continue working with me on my shyness at times. New things are scary and I need you to show me it's going to be ok. My perfect home would have a nice, fenced yard, and maybe a doggy door so I can go in and out on my own. I'll probably do better with another dog in the household, I really like friends. I would love someone to play fetch with me or take me to the river and swim. I don't mind baths at all either, but I sure don't like cats! I like to keep my food just for me and don't really like to share. I know basic commands and will sit for a treat, or two. I would love to meet you and your resident dog and make some new friends!
