Hey there, Delila! What are you still doing at the shelter? This sweet girl has been at the shelter for 242 days and we worry about her mental health. Shelter life can take a toll on a dog and it’s time she found her human! While she is sweet and affectionate she would thrive in a home without kids or other pets. She’s loyal to her people and doesn’t wanna share attention. We get that! She’s seven years old, 63lbs, and knows several commands. So, if you’re looking for a loving pooch, Delila might be the gal for you! Wanna take her home and try it out? Ask about our foster-to-adopt trial!

Hiya! I’m Woody, a big, goofy youngster waiting for my forever family to find me! I’ve already had some training and know “Sit” and “Lie Down”. I’m working on a couple of other commands and am eager to follow your direction to learn more! Im 7 years old, 62lbs, and I love to play and very affectionate. I’m great with kids and want nothing more than to be a real part of a fun family. Let’s get together and figure it out, okay? Hurry over and ask for Woody!

Say, have you heard about the Foster-to-Adopt option? I could go home with you for a few days to try things out before you adopt me. Want to try it? And I’m eligible for the Senior-for-Senior discount, too! What a bargain! Ask about it!

Wanna meet the sweetest gal? This is Nova, and she’s just a soft, sweet lady who’s eager to please, walks well on a leash, and doesn’t react when she sees another dog. We fell in love with her instantly, with her loving disposition and gentle playfulness! Nova is a year old, 43lbs, and will make the best companion on hiking trails or running around Town Lake. We’re here until 7pm, and she’d love to meet you!
