ADOPTION APPLICATION

Pringles

 Some days, the energy just feels softer — and Pringles fits right into that calm. On mellow afternoons, all he wants is a little time outside to sniff the air, take in his surroundings, and settle in to watch the chickens before curling up for a nap on the back step.

Pringles is wonderfully easygoing and well-mannered outdoors. He enjoys his time outside without digging or being destructive, content to relax and quietly observe the world around him. When he hears the chickens or pigs behind the play yard, he’ll slowly wander over with calm curiosity, watch for a bit, and then return to his nap like it’s all part of the routine.

He’s also shown that he can enjoy the company of other dogs — recently making a mellow, laid-back male friend. Pringles was happy to sniff and say hello before heading back to his favorite pastime: chicken-watching.

And of course, there’s his prized possession — a Kong toy. Anytime someone walks by, Pringles is quick to grab it and proudly show it off, as if to say, “Look what I have.” Pringles would thrive in a home that appreciates a dog who doesn’t need chaos to be happy — just steady routines, gentle companionship, and space to relax.


Pringles is currently being fostered in New Braunfels, Texas.  

Cyrus

Meet Cyrus, a happy 1-year-old high Chow mix with a playful heart and a wag that never quits! At just 34 lbs, he’s the perfect mid-size pup — big enough for adventures, small enough for couch cuddles.


Cyrus loves being around other dogs and thrives on playtime and companionship. He’s social, curious, and full of joy — the kind of boy who makes every day brighter.


Now that he’s getting regular meals, love, and a safe space to be himself, Cyrus is blossoming beautifully. All he needs next is a forever family to share it with.


Cyrus is currently being fostered in Austin, TX.

Swift

 High above in the clouds of imagination, a little flock of pups was born under the gentle care of their momma on August 1, 2025. Now these sky-kissed adventurers are ready for their forever homes!


 Meet Swift!
The smallest of the bunch, with a dark coat that shimmers with golden highlights. This little lovebug is pure sweetness. He’s not a fan of the leash yet, so we’re taking it slow while he learns the ropes. 


Fun fact: DNA testing shows the Skyborne pups are approximately 60% Chow Chow, 25% Supermutt, and 12% Lab, with a hint of Pit Bull and German Shepherd — a beautiful blend of brains, loyalty, and heart.

The Skyborne pups were born August 1, 2025. 


Swift is currently being fostered in  Hallsville, TX.

Starburst

Some dogs come into rescue quietly… and then immediately wrap themselves around your heart. That’s Starburst. 


This tiny girl may be small in size, but her spirit is enormous. At just about 1 year old and 31 lbs, Starburst has already lived through more than any dog should. She was found chained behind a home with several other dogs and somehow survived freezing conditions before animal control rescued her. When she arrived at the shelter, she was emaciated and covered in fleas — yet through it all, she never stopped being happy.

Her tail still wiggles nonstop. Her trust in people never broke. 


And what everyone notices first?

- Her adorable pure black tongue

- Her tiny size

- Her constant desire to be close to her humans


Starburst is the definition of a love bug. She wants nothing more than to climb into your lap, soak up affection, and finally belong to someone who will never leave her behind again. 


So far she has shown herself to be:

- Great with kids

- Cat approved 

- Friendly with other dogs

- Extremely people-focused and affectionate


She isn’t looking for perfection — just a safe home, soft place to land, and someone who will love her as much as she loves them. 


Starburst is currently being fostered in Austin, TX.

Ripley

Ripley — The Life-of-the-Party Velcro Boy (and yes… He Loves Cats!)

If you could invite one dog to a party just to make sure everyone had a good time… it would be Ripley. This happy, affectionate boy brings joy wherever he goes — equal parts playful companion, gentle observer, and cuddle expert.


And one of Ripley’s most special qualities? He is CAT FRIENDLY! We have videos showing Ripley interacting calmly and respectfully with cats and other dogs — making him a rare find for homes looking to add a dog to an existing furry family.


About Ripley:

- 1 year old

- 60 lbs

- Sweet, affectionate Velcro dog who loves his people

- Plays happily with other dogs — then chooses to relax and “observe” the fun

- Goes happily into his crate to unwind and relax

- Eats his meals with enthusiasm but has lovely manners (no begging!)

- Cat friendly — verified and rare! 

- Cuddly, smoochy, and incredibly loving


A small bump in Ripley’s journey:

Ripley is heartworm positive, but please don’t let that deter you. Heartworm treatment is very manageable, and the rescue helps support adopters throughout the treatment process. 


He truly is the total package — playful when it’s time for fun, calm when it’s time to relax, and always ready for cuddles and kisses. If you’re looking for a loyal best friend who will make your home warmer, happier, and full of love, Ripley is ready to meet you.


Ripley is currently being fostered in Austin, TX.

Rusty

This is Rusty, a handsome young chow mix who narrowly escaped euthanasia at the shelter due to a minor health issue. Thanks to the dedication of local rescue teams, Rusty is safe and ready to find his forever home. 


About Rusty:

Age: Approximately 1 year

Weight: 50 lbs (just needs a few extra pounds)


Temperament: Calm, affectionate, and people-loving. He’s been crate-trained and adjusts well to his temporary home.


Dog-friendly: Yes, with most dogs. Not cat-friendly. Kid compatibility not tested.


Special Notes: Rusty has a shorter coat than a typical chow, but he rocks the classic chow expression and tongue! He has a slightly limited range of motion in one front leg due to an old injury, but it doesn’t slow him down.


Rusty has faced more than his share of challenges, but he’s proving to be resilient, sweet, and loving every step of the way. He’s currently in temporary care and ready to meet the family who will give him the love he deserves.


Rusty is currently being fostered in Las Cruces, NM.

Angel

Angel’s life changed when her family faced financial and housing challenges and made the loving decision to help her find a safe new future. Now, this sweet girl is decompressing in foster care and showing everyone just how special she is.

- 4 years old

- 54 lbs

- Samoyed / Chow mix


Angel is an active, intelligent girl who enjoys both playtime and relaxing indoors. She loves chasing a ball, running around the yard, and showing off her playful energy — but she also has wonderful house manners and settles beautifully inside the home.


What Angel’s foster has learned about her:

- Excellent indoor manners

- Loves playing fetch and zooming around the yard

- Knows commands like sit and no

- Loyal watchdog — she gives a full alert when the doorbell rings, visitors arrive, or new household sounds catch her attention

- Despite being a big girl, she adorably likes to tuck herself under an end table or coffee table to feel safe

- Can get a little rough in the yard when she gets excited and playful

- No cats for Angel


Because Angel can stand up and reach higher surfaces — and may accidentally bump into little ones during play — a home without young children is recommended so everyone stays safe and comfortable.


Angel didn’t do anything wrong — life simply changed. Now she’s waiting for a family who will appreciate her loyalty, playful spirit, and loving heart.


Angel is currently being fostered in Denton, TX.

Peanut

  Sweet Peanut is officially looking for a family to call his own! This 5–6 year old, 35-pound chow mix is located in San Marcos, TX and is ready for his next chapter after everything he’s been through.


Peanut is still settling in and letting his personality unfold, but he already shows that soft, steady charm that makes you stop and take a second look. He’s at that perfect age where he’s past the chaos of puppyhood but still full of life and love to give. 


What he’s really looking for now is simple—comfort, consistency, and someone to call his person.


Peanut is currently being fostered in San Marcos, TX.
