Adult Dogs for Adoption in New Braunfels, TX: 30 Grown-Up Dogs Looking for a Home

Adult Dogs up for adoption near New Braunfels, TX

Rescues and shelters within 50 miles of New Braunfels have 424 adult dogs up for adoption. Here are the 30 newest, each with photos, their story and how to reach the rescue looking after them.

Adult dogs usually wait longer for homes than puppies, but their personalities are already settled, so you know just what you're getting: a couch companion, a running partner or a gentle family dog.

1. Charlie

Adult · Poodle (Miniature) (medium coat) · 43 mi from New Braunfels

This funny looking guy is CHARLIE, a 15 pound, 3 year old miniature poodle. His colors may look different but it just makes him unique. His curly coat is soft and he takes a bath well and does well at the groomers
CHARLIE was owner surrendered to us by a young lady who could not take care of him any longer. I am told he gets along with cats but I do not have any so I cannot vouch for that.
He is full grown and will not get any bigger. He gets along with the other foster dogs and plays well with everyone. He does like to hang around me but he is also independent, just happy roaming around the house and laying on a doggy bed and watching the activities.
If you are interested in adopting CHARLIE please submit an application on the website below. Feel free to call anytime. Thank you.

2. Milo

Young · Maltese / Poodle (Toy) / Mixed (medium coat) · 43 mi from New Braunfels

This little cutie is MILO, 10 pounds and 6 months old Maltipoo. We do not expect him to exceed 13 pounds as an adult. His coat is cotton soft and his temperament is just as soft. A kind hearted and playful little guy who gets along with all of the foster dogs. I do not have cats so I am not sure how he would behave around them.
MILO was found hiding in the bushes by Good Samaritans and turned into ACS, our very high kill shelter. I immediately stepped forward to rescue him and I am so happy. MILO is the type that just makes your heart melt. It is the cutest thing to watch him sit on his butt and beg you to come pet him. He sleeps with me and I barely know he is there because he doesn't move or get in the way.
If you are interested in adopting MILO, please submit an application on the website. Feel free to call anytime or leave a text message. Thank you.

3. Tonka II

Young · Male · Boxer · 48 mi from New Braunfels

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.

Read more about Tonka II

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!

11/2/2026Rex III is an owner surrender looking for a new home.Hi! My name is Rex III! I am a handsome 3 year old white/brown boy that is an owner surrender due to no longer getting along with the other dog that I live with and for everyone's safety, I must be the only dog in the home. I am described as friendly, active, smart, noisy, playful, and affectionate! There are no children or cats in my home so it's uncertain if I am feline or kid friendly. I am house trained, crate trained, and eat High Point All Life Stages dog food in a slow feeder. At night I sleep in the bed with the humans and if they must be away from the home, I am fine being crated or else I will get into things I shouldn't.

I am able to jump over a kiddie gate but not a standard fence. When outside I am curious what is under the grass and will dig to find out. Some of my favorite things are riding in the car, plush toys that I can't magically explode, rubber toys, running, going for walks, and playing outside!

Young · Female · Boxer · 48 mi from New Braunfels

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.

Read more about Lucy Lou II

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!

6. Arthur

Adult (5 years 1 month) · Male · Poodle (Standard) / Labrador Retriever / Mixed (medium coat) · 48 mi from New Braunfels

Arthur is wondering what happened to his person.

Once upon a time, Arthur was someone's emotional support dog. He knew what it meant to belong to someone, to be loved, and to have a person by his side. Now, at the rescue, he spends so much of his time crying. It's heartbreaking to watch a dog who once had a purpose and a person feel so lost.

Arthur is a gentle, calm soul who absolutely loves people and gets along well with other dogs. He isn't asking for much. Just a comfortable place to lay his head, a little companionship, and someone who won't leave him alone for most of the day.

Read more about Arthur

We think Arthur would be a wonderful companion for a senior or someone who is home more often than not. He doesn't need a busy household or endless adventures. He just needs YOU.

Can you imagine spending your golden years in a shelter, crying because the person you once loved is gone? Arthur deserves to know that he hasn't been forgotten. ❤️

Please, someone give Arthur his second chance at having a person.

8. Tank

Young (4 months 4 days) · Male · Chihuahua / Mixed (short coat) · 48 mi from New Braunfels

Meet Tank!

Tank is a happy, loving little Chi mix looking for a family to call his own! He and his sibling were surrendered by their previous owner after an accidental litter, and now this sweet boy is ready for his next chapter.

Read more about Tank

Tank is expected to stay small. He is full of puppy love, happiness, and affection. He enjoys being loved and is ready to bring lots of joy to his future home! Since arriving at the rescue, it has taken some time for him to come out of his shell, due to being nervous and confused on how he ended up here. So it is expected for him to take some time to show his full personality after being adopted, and adjusting to his new home.

Tank is still a little unsure of where he is at. It may take some time to fully see his true personality at first, as he is quiet and shy meeting new people. Give it time, and his playful puppy personality will come out.

As with any puppy, Tank will need patience, consistency, and help learning all the basics. Potty training, leash manners, socialization, and all the other important puppy lessons will be part of his journey. He's just a baby, so he's looking for a family willing to give him the time and guidance he needs to grow into the best little dog.

Tank is:

Neutered

Up to date on vaccines

Microchipped

Current on heartworm, flea, and tick prevention

Adoption fee: $350

Tank is currently in Texas but can travel to Washington, Portland, Oregon, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington, Kentucky, and locations along the East Coast.

Goldie is a happy, loving little Chi mix looking for a family to call her own! She and her sibling were surrendered by their previous owner after an accidental litter, and now this sweet girl is ready for her next chapter.

Goldie is expected to stay small. She is full of puppy love, happiness, and affection. She enjoys being loved and is ready to bring lots of joy to her future home! As she adjusts to life in rescue and eventually her new home, she may need a little time, patience, and reassurance to feel comfortable and show her full personality. A loving family willing to let her settle in at her own pace will help her blossom!

10. Freddy

Adult (4 years 11 months) · Male · Poodle (Miniature) / Mixed (medium coat) · 48 mi from New Braunfels

Meet Freddy!

Freddy is a sweet Poodle mix who is ready to find his forever family. Just like his siblings, Freddy had quite an adventure before arriving at the rescue. After his owner ended up in the hospital, he and his brothers and sisters were loose on a property before being safely caught. He came to us heavily matted and flea-infested, but he has been completely cleaned up, fully vetted, and is ready for his fresh start!

Read more about Freddy

Freddy is a very sweet and submissive boy. However, he is very shy and timid meeting new people. Once he warms up, he is jumping with tail wags and kisses. He really is a sweet boy, and just may need a little more patience until he come fully come out of his shell.

Due to his breed, Freddy will need a dedicated family committed to regular brushing and consistent professional grooming to keep him looking handsome and feeling his best. It can be very painful if his fur becomes matted and tangled.

We are unsure if he is house broken. Potty training is something that will just need to be retrained on.

His activity is pretty mellow here at the rescue, so far. But because he has also not had enough time to come out of his shell, he more than likely will be more active when comfortable in his forever home.

Health & Medical Status:

Adult (3 years 11 months) · Male · Poodle (Miniature) / Mixed (medium coat) · 48 mi from New Braunfels

Meet Bingo!

Bingo is a gentle, sweet, and submissive Poodle mix who is looking for a patient family to help him blossom. Just like his 4 siblings who came in together, Bingo had a rough start. After his owner ended up in the hospital, he and his siblings spent two days loose on a property before being safely rescued. He arrived matted and covered in fleas, but he has been completely cleaned up, fully vetted, and is ready for a safe place to land.

Read more about Bingo

Unlike his energetic sister, Bingo has a much quieter, more sensitive soul. He is quite shy when meeting new people and will need a little time and patience to warm up to his new surroundings. Once he knows he is safe, his true colors shine—he becomes incredibly loving, gentle, and will happily shower you with sweet kisses!

We are unsure how he is with cats, as well as basic house manners. Potty training is something that will need to be recorrected on at home.

Due to his breed, Bingo will need a family committed to regular brushing and consistent professional grooming to keep him comfortable and handsome.

Adult (2 years) · Female · Shih Tzu (long coat) · 48 mi from New Braunfels

Meet London!

London is a fun, hyper, loving, and playful Shih Tzu who is looking for a fresh start and a family to call her own.

After her owner sadly ended up in the hospital, London and her four siblings found themselves loose on a large property. It took a dedicated two-day trapping session by our team to bring them all safely into our rescue. She arrived heavily matted and flea-infested, but she has been cleaned up, vetted, and is now ready to let her true personality shine!

Read more about London

London is a total blast and has that classic, big Shih Tzu personality. She is a bundle of joy who loves to play, though she does give affectionate play bites when she gets excited, so a home with older children who understand puppy-like play would be best. She is also quite a vocal girl and will let you know when she has something to say! London is still working on her potty training and will need a patient family willing to help her learn the ropes.

As a Shih Tzu, she will also require consistent brushing and regular professional grooming to keep her coat looking and feeling its best.

We do not know her past life, so potty training and house broken is unsure, and will need to be worked on. She's not much of a barker, but that could also be due to her shy self, and not fully coming out of her shell, yet.

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.

Pedro’s life changed through no fault of his own when his family was deported back to Mexico, leaving him in need of a new place to call home. It’s heartbreaking when circumstances beyond anyone’s control separate a family, and now this sweet boy is hoping for a second chance with a family who will love him forever.

Read more about Pedro

Pedro is a fun, happy, loving, and gentle boy who has so much affection to give. He loves sharing hugs and kisses with his people, lounging around and enjoying the simple things in life, or heading out for a nice walk. He isn’t an overly active guy, so he would be happy with a more relaxed lifestyle, but don’t let that fool you! Pedro still has a playful side and knows how to have a good time.

He gets along well with other dogs. We are unsure how he is with cats. Potty training is also something that may need to recorrect on, as he came in unaltered and unsure of his marking in home.

Pedro is the kind of dog who would love to be part of your everyday life, whether that means joining you for a leisurely stroll, relaxing beside you on the couch, or giving you sweet hugs and kisses after a long day. He doesn’t ask for much, just a safe home, a loving family, and someone who will never give up on him.

Boots is a little older than his brother and may need some extra time to feel comfortable in a new environment. He might growl at first when he is unsure or nervous, but please don’t let that scare you away. Boots needs patience, understanding, and the chance to settle in at his own pace. He has been through a major change in his life, and he deserves someone who will give him the time he needs to feel safe and secure.

Boots gets along well with other dogs, which may be a bonus for a home with a calm, friendly canine companion. Once he has time to adjust and learn that he is safe, he will have the opportunity to show his true personality.

23. Freda

Young · Female · Border Terrier / Norfolk Terrier / Mixed (medium coat) · 43 mi from New Braunfels

FREDA is a 9 month old, 9 pounds terrier of some sort. We really cannot figure out what she is mixed with. I probably should do a DNA test on her. She looks just like her mother who is a few pounds smaller. FREDA was owner surrendered as the pregnancy was an accident litter.
The word that comes to me when I think about FREDA is "soft", her coat is soft, her attitude/temperament is soft, she takes treats soft, she plays soft and her overall behavior is just soft. She is a sweetheart of a dog who plays with all of the other foster dogs, she is kind of submissive but not timid as she wrestles and can hold her on while playing.
FREDA loves everyone, gives kisses and loves to snuggle even when there is really no space around my legs, she squeezes in and find a spot! I will have to get better pictures of her but she is always moving and playing.

Read more about Freda

She would make a great family dog, she will remain a small breed scruffy dog.
There are no cats in the home so we do not know how she would get along with them but she is just super soft so we cannot imagine her not getting along with a cat, she'll probably try to play with a cat.
If you would like to adopt FREDA, please submit an application on the website below. Feel free to call me anytime. Thank you.

24. Cisco

Adult · Male · Poodle (Miniature) (medium coat) · 43 mi from New Braunfels

CISCO is ready for his own home and what a sweet boy you will be getting. He is 3 years old and a mere 14 pounds and fully grown. Just a sweet guy who wants love and loves nothing better than hanging out with his human. Although CISCO is in a home with other dogs, he can be dog selective and for that reason we are asking that he be the only dog in the home.
He gets along great with small kids, he plays and gives soft kisses.
He walks well on a leash and rides in the car without getting sick. He obeys well and is crate trained. Because there are several dogs in the home he is crated when there are no adults in the home so we are not sure how he does left alone on his own but he is not a chewer and does not bother things that are not dog related.
CISCO would love to have a human to give him attention and love and he will reward you with devotion and gratitude.

He does very well being groomed and bathed and he will need to have his curly coat groomed every 6-8 weeks.
The home does not have any cats so we are not sure how he would do with them. If you are interested in adopting CISCO, please submit an application on the website below. Thank you.

I am bonded with my brother, Major II, so it is important for us to be adopted together which means double the boxer love for you! I am described as protective, playful, and affectionate!

I will bark at new people that come to our home, but then I warm up to them after being introduced! I am house trained, crate trained, eat Kirkland brand dog food, and sleep in my kennel at night! If the humans must be away, I am great being left alone.

27. Giorgio

Adult · Male · Boxer · 48 mi from New Braunfels

Hi! My name is Giorgio, or as my foster family calls me, George or Georgie! I am a 4 year old flashy brindle boy that will charm you with my one blue eye and small stature! Prior to the rescue I got myself into an unknown situation which resulted in an extensive injury and infection to my front left leg causing it to be amputated. I had 49 staples which all have been removed and the scar is healed nicely! I am able to easily move around in the home with little carpeting or rugs. I am also heartworm positive but the rescue will assist with my treatment! I am house trained, crate trained, sleep on the dog bed in the human's room, eat dry or wet food because I'll eat pretty much anything edible, and am well behaved when being left alone if the humans are away.

Read more about Giorgio

I live with a pit/boxer submissive girl and we get along well. A much larger girl dog stayed with us for a week and at the beginning I was scared and it took me a couple of days of slow intros to be comfortable around her and not growl at her. I will grumble at new people that enter the home but keep my distance until I warm up to them. I do not live with a cat so it is uncertain if I am feline friendly. I live with 3 teenagers and love them all, especially when they give me attention and affection! I have met young school age or late toddler aged kids during my neighborhood walk and am gentle with them and enjoy them loving on me! Given the multiple vet appointments I have had you would think I'd be ok in the car but I'm not. I get nervous and prefer someone to sit with me and comfort me. As for my ideal home, there are a couple of requests. I need a home with no stairs or if there are stairs, it's to an area that is not used by anyone so that I do not go up them. I also need a raised feeder to help me not have to lean over so much and misdistribute weight on only one front leg. In the raised feeder I would benefit from a slow feeder bowl because I put away food in no time! I have learned the sound of the treat jar opening, have found my voice, and enjoy moving shoes randomly in the home! Some of my favorite things are getting attention & affection, being outside to roll in the grass, food, treats, and following the humans to know what they are doing! 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!

28. Duke

Adult · Male · Rottweiler (short coat) · 43 mi from New Braunfels

Looking for a fabulous family dog? Look no further, DUKE is your dude!!! Seriously this is a great family pet who loves kids and his people. We are in disbelief at his cool and calm temperament, soooo cool and calm. He has been tested around some dogs that are dog reactive and bark, bark, bark. DUKE never flinches or acknowledges they are even there, they get in his face and DUKE just turns around and goes in the other direction.
DUKE is 4 years old and 80 pounds, a few pounds underweight but he is making up for it. DUKE was found in a subdivision next to his own subdivision. He is microchipped and every attempt was made to reach his family by social media, phone, text and even visited his home but they would not respond.

Read more about Duke

So we are like okay let us see why they no longer want DUKE. But DUKE is perfect really a perfect pet. In several weeks we have not found any faults except he just loves to hang with his humans and that is a great fault.
He is not aggressive in any area and do not resource guard things or humans and of course he gets along with everyone. He had a growth on his eye that has been removed and that is why his right eye looks a little hinky. He is healthy in all areas, walks great on a leash without pulling, just walks right beside you at your pace and he rides in a car without getting sick, jumps right in.
If you want to spend your days hanging out with a happy companion pet, DUKE is your guy. If you are interested in adopting DUKE, please submit an application on the website below or contact his foster mom. Thank you.

30. Blanca

Adult · Female · Rat Terrier (short coat) · 32 mi from New Braunfels

Welcome Blanca to CCPAL Rescue. She is a 2 year old Rat Terrier mix. She came in from a hoarding situation. We received 3 dogs from this case. One was adopted already and one had to go to a specialized trainer in another Rescue. Blanca has started opening up and allowing people to pet her and hold her. She never got any attention in her original home, the hoarder. She is good with other dogs and causes no issues. She is kennel trained and her response to being afraid is to run and hide. She is a timid girl and not the social butterfly. She would be perfect with a person that is more introverted and wants a pet that is also similar. Blanca would be satisfied being at home with you all the time. A small walk in the yard would be fine. She until now, has not walked on leash. She is learning to do it at our Rescue. She would like a patient owner and a quieter home. An older couple or older single person would be great. Someone with a quieter home. She would be fine kenneled away if you had a party or people over. She is not very vocal and prefers to blend into the woodwork. She is really a great dog for the right family. She is getting her vaccinations, nail trims and will be spayed soon and ready for her forever home. She could be adopted locally in Texas or we could work with one of the wonderful transporters to get her to Washington, Portland, Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. Her adoption fee is $400 and transport is $200. . Rhode Island and Massachusetts are not states we adopt to because of the regulations imposed by these states.

Why adopt an adult dog in New Braunfels

An adult dog's personality is fully formed, so the rescue can tell you how they are with people, other pets and busy households. Many have lived in foster homes and are already house-trained.

Grown dogs need less supervision than puppies and often know the basics, like sitting and walking on a leash, which suits people who work or have young children.
