1. Tonka II
Young · Male · Boxer · 24 mi from Georgetown



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.

I'm a happy guy and have only met one person I didn't like out of the many people I have been around! I am house trained, crate trained, and can be picky with some of my favorite food depending on the day. At night I sleep with the kid or in the kennel with the other dog. I don't do well sleeping alone and will cry and scratch at the kennel if left by myself to sleep. If the humans must be away, I will cry and bark in the crate and will chew on the furniture if left to roam. When outside I do not attempt to jump fences/gates but am curious what is under the grass and will dig to find out. I am scared of water, baths, being alone, and being left outside too long due to having a heat stroke in the past. Some of my favorite things are riding in the car, chewing on toys, playing fetch, toys, being outside, cuddles, love, smiling when I want something, hitting the humans with my paws when I want something, nudge and paw the food container when it's time to eat, being in the human's lap, and dog treats! 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!

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.

I know basic commands, am house trained, but would need assistance with crate training if that is required in my forever home. I eat Healthy Choice puppy food from Tractor Supply and at night I sleep in the bed or recliner with the humans. I do sleep on my dog bed, but that is a very rare occasion. If the humans must be away, I am good but I have never been left alone for more than 2 hours. When outside I have good behavior and do not dig or attempt to jump fences/gates. I am fearful of fireworks and do not like being told no, getting too hot, or being crated/locked in confined spaces. Some of my favorite things are riding in the car, tire with rope toy, squeaky toys, chewing on plastic bottles, catching water from the hose, sleeping by the humans feet or under the blankets, 'argue' or 'talk back' when I don't' get what I want, playing with dogs my size, and treats! If you think I would make a great addition to your family contact the rescue today because I am waiting to meet you!

Adult · Male · Boxer · 24 mi from Georgetown




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.

I currently live with cats and we are said to get along well! Sometimes we snuggle and I like to playfully chase them off if they drink from my water. I currently live with a 14 year old kid and my owner says I would do best with older kids. When new people come in the home I will bark at them because I am protective of my humans. I am house trained, crate trained, eat Royal Canin Boxer food, and sleep on the couch or human bed at night. If the humans must be away, I have learned to calm myself and will mostly sleep awaiting their arrival. When outside I have good behavior and do not dig or attempt to jump fences/gates. When scolded I cower and get very scared so positive reinforcement works great for me! I'm fearful of thunderstorms and I do need anxiety meds when experiencing new things or during stressful situations. I love riding in the car, greenies, bully sticks, belly and neck scratches, following the humans around when cleaning or doing yardwork, and staring at the humans intensely until they give in to what I want!

Hi! My name is Curry! I am a handsome fawn 6 year old boy but I am not your average senior. I still enjoy and require plenty of exercise and will get restless without it! I am high energy and enjoy a 'job' to occupy me. I am friendly with other dogs, even those smaller than me. I needed a short introduction to the resident boxers and was curious but not aggressive. It was found out that I do not like cats, so a cat free home is needed. I love to play catch, play fetch, car rides, and play with toys all night! I am house trained, crate trained, can self soothe, know basic commands, and am doggy door trained! I also appreciate good hygiene and love to shower! I often go into the shower and beg my foster mom to turn the water on.

23. Lite Brite
Puppy (7 months) · Female · Belgian Shepherd Malinois / Chihuahua / Mixed · 16 mi from Georgetown




I may be one of the most patient dogs you’ll ever meet! I sit through baths and medical care like a champ, never fussing — just trusting. Sure, I’m a quick learner too. I even picked up a hand signal for “sit” in a single day!
Despite everything I’ve been through in my short life, I’m unbelievably sweet. I melt under the smallest pet, lean into affection, and remain incredibly trusting even though life hasn’t always been kind.
I truly just want love, and I’ll do anything for it. I can provide a lifetime of love with my adoption, but honestly, I’m like clay — eager, adaptable, and ready to fit into just about any home.
A Little More About Me
Read more about Lite Brite
Moderate to high energy with short bursts of energy and long naps
Nervous around kids, but has potential with children
Social with dogs with slow introductions
Current on vaccines and spayed
Training in progress — ask for details!
If you’re looking for a sweet, resilient dog who is ready to trust, learn, and become part of a family, I might just be the one you’ve been waiting for.
If you'd like more information about me, please send CiMAR an email so they can send you all the information about adopting me. You can also find the adoption application and more pictures of me on their website: http://www.cuzimatter.org/adopt-a-dog

Laredo is a healthy male at just 9 months old. Patience and positive reinforcement will go a long way with him. He is still learning to be calm around the littles, so he’ll need some supervision at first. Laredo attended training class, but his previous family tells us they didn’t see too much change. Laredo becomes friendly with other dogs after he overcomes a little shyness at first. While he was with his previous owner, Laredo was house trained and slept in his crate at night. Laredo enjoyed riding in the car, but being at home alone didn’t seem to bother him. He’ll need some backyard supervision until he learns that digging is a no-no.

His favorite pastime is playing w/ just about any toy that makes noise. His favorite toy is his squeaky pig. Like most dogs, Laredo is treat motivated and likes to eat. So, keep a watchful eye at the backyard BBQ. Laredo will make a nice addition to an active family who will be devoted to his development.

7/11/2026Zoey XII is an owner surrender looking for a new home.Hi! My name is Zoey XII! I am a beautiful 8 year old flashy fawn girl that is an owner surrender due to my owners having life changes and busy schedules. I am described as friendly, smart, calm, affectionate, quiet, and obedient! I am partially blind in one eye and have stiff back legs when I lie down in one place too long but I do not let that slow me down! I have lived with three dogs, four cats and kittens, chickens, baby chicks, and goats and am animal friendly! I seem to love dogs and cats seem to gravitate towards me. There are three kids in my home (ages 6 months-13 years) and I am good with them and other children that visit the home! I am house trained, crate trained, know basic commands, and at night I sleep in the entryway room with a jumbo memory foam bed.

When the humans are away, I am not crated and am not destructive and will stay in an area if it is blocked off. When outside I have good behavior and do not dig or attempt to jump fences/gates. I am afraid of loud noises, thunder, and fireworks. Some of my favorite things are riding in the car, staying in the a/c when it's hot outside, belly rubs, hugs, treats, light walks, sleep, and getting love! My current owner says I am a calm and amazing dog that smiles when I'm happy. If you think I would make a great addition to your family, contact the rescue and give them my name because I am waiting to meet you!

7/5/2026Lucy IX is an owner surrender looking for a new home.Hi! We are Linus and Lucy IX! We are beautiful 7 year old fawn littermates who are owner surrenders due to our owner being unable to afford to care for us. We are littermates and have never been apart, therefore we need to be adopted together which means double the Boxer love and fun for you! We are described as friendly, active, smart, noisy, playful, affectionate, and nervous! We have not had exposure to many other dogs but live with a rescue pug and after a few weeks of getting used to him, we are very close with him. We occasionally see stray cats on the property we live at but due to us being in a fenced area, we do not have interaction with them and will bark at them.

We have had limited exposure to children but our owner's niece occasionally visits and after giving us time to calm down, we are allowed to interact with her and we are great and will even lay next to her to watch a movie or stay by her side. We are always happy to see new people and it takes a few minutes for us to contain our excitement! We are house trained but will need crate training if that is required in our forever home. At night we sleep on the couch, love seat, or recliner and if the humans must be away, we are good being left alone. When outside we have good behavior and do not dig or attempt to jump fences/gates. Some of our fears include thunder and fireworks but we love riding in the car, chew toys, playing tug of war with rope toys, daily walks in the morning and evening, snuggling, sitting next to the humans, and getting pets from the humans! If you think we would make a great addition to your home, contact the rescue today and give them our names because we are waiting to meet you!

This could be an indicator we would do best as only dogs in the home. We currently live with cats and will bark at them, so a cat free home may also be best. There are children in our home and we are said to be kid friendly! We are house trained, crate trained, and at night we sleep outside. If the humans must be away, we are kept outside and do fine unless we are able to escape, which we do. When outside we do not dig but are able to jump kiddie gates/fences. We are very skittish but our caretakers say we are sweet and with someone who has the time and patience, we can be very well trained boys. If you think we would be a great addition to your family, contact the rescue today and give them our names because we are waiting to meet you!

Adopting a dog with children in Georgetown
Bring the whole family to meet the dog before you adopt, and ask the rescue how the dog behaves around children your kids' ages.
Teach children to let the dog come to them, to stroke gently, and to leave the dog alone while it's eating or sleeping. Give the dog a bed or crate of their own to retreat to, and always supervise young children with a new dog.
Relaxed adult dogs are often a better match for young children than puppies, which jump up, nip and chew while they learn.
