Eric Von Weenie, despite his appearance, is a dachshund/cairn terrier cross rather than a purebred dachshund. This three year old attention hound has been with CPP since he was a puppy, and he needs a home that can understand his dependency on human interaction. Eric gets very attached to his family members and will cry if he knows they're nearby but out of sight. He is not used to be around small children, but he would be fine with teenagers and adults.

Dolly-Is a 2 to 2 1/2 year old Catahoula/hound mix, which is related to both Sonic and Phoebe.  She is a sweet, calm dog who loves to just follow her nose wherever the smells lead her.  Dolly will definitely need basic obedience training and a home that understands the typical hound personality. 

Coco is a 5-6 year old rat terrier mix who has been very lonely since her brother passed away recently. She's a sweet little dog, but she can be very reserved and almost catlike in her need to interact on her own terms. She loves other dogs though and enjoys running around outside. Coco needs a gentle, patient family who is willing to let Coco come to them and help her build a permanent bond with someone.

Stinger is a year old neutered male lab mix who thinks that every new person is a friend he simply hasn't met yet. This exuberant boy loves meeting new people and other dogs, and he'd be thrilled to have a family of his own to love on for the rest of his days. Stinger loves the children he meets in his foster mom's neighborhood and at PetsMart, but because of his size and activity level, he might be too much for smaller kids. He'd adore having a child or two to play with and run around a backyard with as long as they were big enough to rough house.  At about 60 pounds Stinger is still a big baby, and he probably won't fully mature mentally until he turns 2 or 3. Right now he needs loving, consistent training to help him polish up some proper house manners (he still likes to jump up and try to counter surf). He is doing well on housebreaking, although Stinger hasn't yet figured out how to ask to go outside. He does wonderfully in a crate and will sometimes nap in his while his foster mom is home. Stinger probably would do best in a home without cats because while he isn't aggressive towards them in his foster home, he is too focused and interested for his foster mom's liking. He also doesn't back off when swatted. Stinger also loves other dogs, but he can be a little pushy about demanding playtime. If he were paired with a dog with a similar activity level, they would probably have a blast and be tired most of the time though!

Krista is a year old spayed female yellow lab and blue heeler cross who came to CPP as a puppy. She is a shy, sweet soul who has never been out of the country except for her weekly visits to PetsMart adoptions, so she needs a patient home who can help socialize her to the rest of the world. Krista is learning to walk on a leash and likes relaxing in the rounder at PetsMart, so she would probably have no problems adjusting to crate training. While she is an extremely gentle dog, overly exuberant children frighten her, so Krista needs a family with older children who understand how to be gentle. She has shown interest in some of the cats at adoptions, but she has never lived with cats.

Sandee (below) is her sister.

Ike is an 18 month old neutered male catahoula mix who has spent the last several months in the Thorndale pound. He loves to play with other dogs, and he has plenty of energy to burn. Because of Ike's activity level, he probably would do best with older children.

While at PetsMart adoptions he did not seem overly interested in cats, but he might accidentally hurt one in play. We strongly recommend obedience training to help channel Ike's energy into appropriate venues. He also might be a great candidate for a running companion or some type of canine sport.

 

 

Jake-is about 3 years old and 65 pounds. He has been successfully treated for heartworms. He is a yellow Lab mix, but we're not sure where he got his shorter nose and protruding forehead. He is 100% goofy - a very happy boy. Housebroken. Jake seems to have some genetic defects which cause him to favor one rear leg over the other (not hip dysphasia) and cause a canine tooth to point outward. These are characteristics that he lives with happily and will probably not cause any serious problems in the future. Okay with cats and likes other dogs. Probably good with kids - just may be a little playfully rough. Seems to have very fun dreams.

Sandee is an 11 month old spayed female lab/blue heeler mix whose claim to fame is her mixed eye color (one blue and one brown). She's a friendly, social dog who seems to enjoy meeting all sorts of animals and people. Sandee is moderately active and would probably be an excellent family dog because she enjoys being handled and snuggled. We do not know how Sandee is with cats.

Lady Bug is a 5 year old American pit bull terrier who has lived with CPP for three years of her life. She may have started her life as a "hog dog" out in the country, but when Lady Bug saw a chance to flee, she took it. She's a typical pit bull in that she considers every human she meets a potential new friend, and Lady Bug is enthusiastic in showing her affections. Because of her strength she would do best with older children or an adult only home. Lady Bug was starving when she was found, so she still can be protective of her food towards other dogs. Also, she doesn't have much experience living with other animals, so she might do best as an only dog. We do not recommend that Lady Bug go to a home with cats.

Lucky is a 3-4 year old neutered male shepherd mix who was found in South Austin several months ago. He is initially very shy with new people, but when he warms up, he is very sweet. Lucky is submissive with other dogs, so he needs companions who won't take advantage of his gentle demeanor. He also does well with children. Lucky is housebroken and knows how to "shake", but he needs some additional work on leash walking.

Zoe is a 57 pound black lab mix and is a year old. She is updated on all shots.  She is fun loving and great with kids.  She tends to chase cats though.  She enjoys walking and needs someone who can take her for a walk or run.  She is extremely submissive.  She does well with other dogs.  She is house trained.  She can sit when asked.  She does enjoy jumping.  When seeing people she tends to have a lot of energy, but calms down quickly.  She is a wonderful dog, she needs a family that has time to love on her.

Sonic-is a male Catahoula hound mix, approx 2 years old and 65 pounds. He's very gentle, and can be a little shy at first in new surroundings. He's working on
becoming housebroken and crate-trained. He doesn't jump but will pull on a leash when a cat is around.
Sonic is friendly after he gets to know you. Seems to get along well with most other dogs, although he sometimes is protective of his food or toys. Loves to chew on ropes and balls, and loves the water. Preferably a house with out cats.
