Kid-Friendly Dogs for Adoption in College Station, TX: 30 Dogs Good with Children

DOB 10/1623, weight 16 #

Hey there, everyone! I’m Papito, a black and tan Jackshund (Jack Russell/ Dachshund mix) fella. I was happily situated in my adoptive home until my owners encountered financial difficulties. Unfortunately they had to downsize to a smaller home and couldn’t take me with them. Thank heavens my new foster mom welcomed me with open arms until I can find a new home. I get along great with the visiting grandkids, other small dogs, and even the cats in my foster home, although I’m nervous around large dogs whom I meet on walks.

11/1/2026Tonka II is an owner surrender looking for a new home.Hi! My name is Tonka II! I am a handsome 2 year old brindle boy that is an owner surrender due to my family moving and my breed not being allowed. I am described as friendly, active, noisy, playful, affectionate, and obedient! I currently live with an older lab but am said to be dog friendly with dogs of all sizes. I currently live with cats and because I don't know personal space, they don't want to play with me. I currently live with 3 kids (ages 19 month to 13 years) and am gentle with the baby and like to play rough with the older kids.

11/2/2026Lucy Lou II is an owner surrender looking for a new home.Hi! My name is Lucy Lou II! I am a beautiful 1 year old flashy fawn girl that is an owner surrender due to my owner being a truck driver and not having the time for me and life on the road is not ideal for me. I am described as friendly, active, smart, noisy, and playful! I do not live with other dogs but it is said that I am dog friendly. I do not live with cats or kids, so it is uncertain if I am cat or kid friendly. I do jump on people because I get very excited so my caretaker says I may not be a good fit for a family with small children.

11/1/2026Luna XV is an owner surrender looking for a new home.Hi! My name is Luna XV! I am a beautiful 4 year old flashy fawn girl that is an owner surrender due to my owner getting divorced, selling their home, and unable to keep me. I am described as friendly, active, playful, and affectionate! I grew up with another boxer, tiny terrier, and a frenchie and am said to be dog friendly with them. I recently met a senior dog and I wanted to be the boss of her and could benefit from more training, especially since I'm eager to please! I currently live with a cat and will bark at it when it is out of my reach but I can see it.

11/1/2026Hope II is an owner surrender looking for a new home.Hi! My name is Hope II! I am a beautiful 3 month old flashy fawn puppy!

I live with another dog and am said to be dog friendly! There are no kids in my home but I have met the neighbor 3 and 5 year old kids and play with them and am kid friendly! I have never lived with a cat so it is uncertain if I am feline friendly! Because I am a puppy, I am still learning house and crate training manners.

DOB 10/16/24, weight 22 pounds

Hey there, everyone! I’m Boy, a happy, friendly, and calm grey-cream Wheaton/ Cairn Terrier mix fella who weighs exactly in the middle of these two breeds! What a perfect size I am to be devoted to all ages of hoomans in my foster home – adults and grandkids. Plus I get along great with the cats and other small dogs! I’m already crate- and house-trained, which is another bonus.

10/28/2026Jeezy is an owner surrender looking for a new home.Hi! My name is Jeezy! I am a handsome 6 year old fawn boy that is an owner surrender because my owner doesn't have space for me. I am described as friendly, smart, calm, affectionate, quiet, and obedient! I live with another dog and kids and am said to be dog and kid friendly! I have never lived with a cat so it's unsure if I am feline friendly. I am house trained, crate trained, and am good if I must be left alone while the humans are away. When outside I have good behavior and do not dig or attempt to jump fences/gates. Some of my favorite things are riding in the car, running, and playing fetch with a tennis ball! If you think I would make a great addition to your family, contact the rescue today and give them my name because I am waiting to meet you!

Hi! My name is Pele! I am a handsome 2-3 year old flashy fawn boy that has a super goofy and loveable personality and enjoys life! I love to play fetch, sprint around the backyard, going on walks followed by cuddles and affection, preferably in the human's lap! I have great house manners and do not beg or counter surf. Sometimes if I am bored or not getting sufficient attention, I will bring a random shoe or stuffed animal to the humans but am not destructive. I am house trained, crate trained, and leash trained! I currently live with an older lady dog and we get along well together. While on walks I am not phased by other dogs and have been fine and chill with other pups I've met! There are 3 kids in my foster home (ages 11-16 years) and I am good with them and all of their friends that come to visit! My foster family thinks I would be friendly with younger kids, but might be a bit rambunctious and they might get 'love taps' with my enthusiastic tail! As for cats, I was introduced to a neighbor cat and I was very intent on keeping an eye on it, so I may do best in a cat free home.

Dash (originally named 'BESO' by CAP) was pulled from CAP after he showed 'kennel cough' symptoms. Since there are so many unvaccinated/young dogs in the shelter, it was not safe for anyone to leave him there. ALL of our dogs are fully vaccinated against kennel cough, so bringing him into our care was safe. He went straight to our vet, where they told us he showed NO sign of kennel cough. (Probably just the irritation of the trachea from his trach tube during his neuter surgery!) This little boy is a delight.

Meet Banjo!

Banjo is an adorable, fun-loving puppy with a big personality and an even bigger heart! This playful little guy is full of puppy energy and absolutely loves romping around with his toys. But once he's gotten his zoomies out, he's all about curling up next to you for some snuggles and a cozy nap. He's the perfect mix of playful and cuddly!

Banjo is a smart little pup who's already crate trained and sleeps like a champ in his crate through the night! He's still working on potty training but is catching on quickly.

Meet Heath, a wonderfully sweet "badger boy" with a beautiful, slightly curly coat who is looking for his perfect forever family! As part of our "Sweet Treat" litter born right here in our rescue care, Heath has been raised with hands-on love from the very beginning, making him remarkably calm, smart, and responsive to human affection. He is a gentle soul who is perhaps a bit more thoughtful and reserved than his energetic littermates, making him an absolute dream for someone who loves a balanced pup. Heath truly adores his cuddle time and loves a good play session, but he is equally happy to slow down, relax, and contentedly chew on a nice stick. If you are looking for a loving, steady companion with fantastic genetics and a sweet disposition, Heath is ready to bring a lifetime of devotion to your home.

Meet Truffles, a big, beautiful boy with a spectacular thick, wavy, all-white coat and a smile that will melt your heart! As part of our "Sweet Treat" litter born directly into our rescue care, Truffles has benefited from amazing genetics and hands-on love from day one, resulting in a remarkably calm, smart, and people-centered personality. He is a massive fan of affection and has the most endearing habit of insisting on a proper hug before he will even head outside to play. Responsive, gentle, and deeply loving, this floofy boy is looking for a family who will happily oblige his craving for cuddles and appreciate his exceptionally sweet nature.

10/23/2026Luna XIV is an owner surrender looking for a new home.Hi! My name is Luna XIV! I am a beautiful 7.5 year old flashy fawn girl that is an owner surrender due to not getting along with the other dog in the home and for everyone's safety, I need to be the only dog in the home. I am described as friendly, active, smart, protective, playful, affectionate, and nervous! I have never lived with a cat so it is uncertain if I am feline friendly. I currently live with an 11 year old kid and have had exposure to many young cousins and I love them! I am house trained, crate trained, eat regular kibble, and sleep in the human's room or my kennel.
