1. Josie
Puppy · Female · Chihuahua / Pug (short coat) · 32 mi from New Braunfels



Welcome Josie to CCPAL Rescue. Josie is a Chug (Chihuahua/Pug) puppy. She weighs 4 pounds and is 9 weeks old. She will be a small dog full grown. She should be 12 pounds or less. She is very sweet and has an adorable rounded head. She likes to be held, is good in a crate, goes on a wee pad and loves to play with toys. She was born at the Rescue. They took in a stray female and she was pregnant. This means the puppies get lots of attention and are very used to being in a loud and rowdy environment. Josie would be best in a home that the person doesn’t work all day every day. She needs to finish up her puppy training. Social pups make great adults and now is the time for her to spend time with her family and to go places and let people pet her. She is an AMAZING puppy. She would be fine with children. Due to her small size, we would like children to be 8 or older. She is getting her puppy vaccines and will have 3. She will then be ready for spay and adoption. She can be adopted locally in Texas or we can 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 $600 and transport is $200. Rhode Island and Massachusetts are not states we adopt to because of the regulations imposed by these states.

6. 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.

7. 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.

9. 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!

10. Lucy Lou II
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!

11. 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.
Apply to foster or adopt Arthur at www.adoggie4you.org.
Please share. His person is out there.

16. 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.
If transportation is needed, there is an additional $250 transport fee. Due to state regulations, Tank cannot travel to Rhode Island or Massachusetts.

Adult · Male · Boxer · 48 mi from New Braunfels




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.

21. Pedro
Adult (4 years 2 months) · Male · Pug / Mixed (short coat) · 48 mi from New Braunfels





Meet Pedro, who smiles when greeting you.
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.
Pedro is neutered, 4DX tested
(He is
heartworm positive right now, but has started treatment. He has been on antibiotics and going through the ProHeart 12 protocol approved by the American Heartworm Society. The good news is that with this treatment, he should test negative in about 8–10 months)
,
microchipped, and current on vaccines. He is also current on ProHeart 12 for heartworm prevention and Bravecto for flea and tick prevention.
His adoption fee is $350.
Pedro 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. If transportation is needed, there is an additional $250 transport fee. Due to state regulations, dogs cannot travel to Rhode Island or Massachusetts.

10/23/2026Phoenix IV is an owner surrender looking for a new home.Hi! My name is Phoenix IV! I am a beautiful 7.5 year old 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 find a home of my own. I am described as friendly, smart, protective, playful, affectionate, and nervous! It should be mentioned I have some hip dysplasia, TPLO on my rear left leg, and FHO on my right rear leg, but I do not let it slow me down! I do not get along with the other dog in my home but am said to get along with other dogs at doggy daycare and boarding.

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! 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!

25. 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.

26. 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.
Read more about Cisco
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.

29. 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.

Adopting a dog with children in New Braunfels
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.
