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.

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 Meliyah—a tiny girl with a big love for lap time!

This sweet Yorkie mix weighs just 6.24 pounds and is happiest cuddling with her people. Her previous owner describes her as affectionate, playful, gentle, and eager to please. She enjoys comfy dog beds, couch time, and making sure you know when someone is at the door!

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 This Sweet Little Survivor, Echonyx aka "Echo"! Looking for Her Forever Home
This beautiful girl was found alone in a storm drain, frightened and unsure of the world around her. With a little patience, some treats, and a kind heart, she slowly began to trust. Before long, she had decided that her rescuer was someone she could feel safe with and became attached quickly. ❤️
Now, this sweet girl is looking for a family who will give her the happy ending she deserves!
She house trained fast, knows sit, loves treats and toys and just wants to be by her person's side.

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.

Meet Orville, the Wright brother who apparently decided that flying was best accomplished four paws at a time. Give him a toy and he’s cleared for takeoff—chasing it, pouncing on it, and occasionally achieving impressive levels of airborne enthusiasm. But Orville’s favorite destination isn’t the toy box; it’s right beside his people receiving belly rubs and sharing kisses. Attention is his true fuel, and he’s always ready for another flight plan as long as it includes playtime, affection, and someone to appreciate his considerable charm. With Orville around, you may not get much done—but you’ll have a first-class co-pilot.

Smoky Bear is a new arrival to CTDR after being found running the streets in Austin. The finder took him home in hopes of finding his owners but to no avail. CTDR was contacted to see if we had room for this handsome boy and of course, we said yes. Smoky has started his vetting process but sadly he tested positive for those nasty heartworms and will have to undergo heartworm treatment before being adopted along with needing an extensive dental. Please look for updates on this handsome boy.

Meet KitKat, a fun, quirky, and absolute goofball of a girl who is guaranteed to bring endless smiles to your life! Born directly into our rescue as part of the "Sweet Treat" litter, KitKat has been handled by loving people from day one, resulting in an exceptionally sweet, smart, and people-focused personality. She is a playful and cuddly baby who strikes the perfect balance between being a total lovebug and a source of pure entertainment for her foster family. Calm and highly responsive to pets and attention, KitKat’s unique and charming personality makes her stand out in the very best way. If you are searching for a beautiful pup who is equal parts affectionate snuggler and joyful comedian, this sweet girl is ready to find her match!

Meet Taffy, a beautiful and playful girl from our "Sweet Treat" litter who is an absolute joy to be around! Born right into the safety of our rescue, Taffy has been handled by loving people from her very first days, making her exceptionally sweet, smart, and incredibly people-focused. She is a naturally calm, responsive pup who thrives on attention, but she also possesses a wonderful spark of confidence.

Meet Dorothy, a 6-month-old German Shepherd and one of four sisters named after the Golden Girls. We must admit her personality does not fit her name. Right now she is all legs, and just enjoying the life of a puppy. She loves playing with other dogs, thinks water is pretty much the best invention ever, and is working on her leash skills and other puppy basics. She’s got plenty of growing up to do, but this girl is already making quite a splash—sometimes literally! Dorothy is ready to find her forever family, where she can keep learning, playing, and showing off that fabulous fur.

Meet Blanche, one of four German Shepherd puppies named after the Golden Girls. Like her namesake, she is full of charm, but the similarity stops there. She’s is, after all, a German Shepherd puppy, and therefore, busy perfecting a different set of social skills—making dog friends, playing hard, and figuring out what all those human words like “sit” and “come” are supposed to mean! She’s playful, loves the company of other dogs, and is just beginning her journey toward becoming a well-mannered young lady. She has plenty of time to master the basics, and with those German Shepherd brains, we suspect she’ll catch on quickly. For now, she’s happy to make friends, have fun, and charm everyone she meets. After all, you don’t have to be a Golden Girl to be golden!

Hey there, everyone! I’m Lola, a very sweet, feisty, and very playful wire-coated Russell Terrier mix gal who looks like a plush toy come to life! I may have some Chihuahua mixed in because I’m mostly black with white paws and vest, and Russell Terriers are always mostly white with black markings. My dark, almond-shaped eyes and mobile V-shaped ears exhibit the Russell’s hallmark intelligent expression.

Sadie is a new arrival to CTDR after being surrendered by her owner who could no longer keep her. Sadie became a little jealous of a new dog on the home and it was best to have Sadie find a new home. Sadie is a beautiful red standard girl who would do best as an only dog in the home. She is fully up to date on her vaccines and is ready to find her forever home. Could that be you? If so, please complete an application at www.ctdr.org.
