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.

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.

8. Hope II

Puppy · Female · Boxer · 33 mi from San Marcos

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 am an owner surrender due to being rescued, nursed back to health after having Parvo, and my caretakers rescued me to find a good home! I am described as friendly, active, smart, and playful! 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.

Read more about Hope II

At night I sleep in a crate in the humans room and if the humans must be away, I will whine for a minute and then take a nap. When outside I have good behavior and do not dig or attempt to jump fences/gates! Loud noises startle me but I love riding in the car, elk horns, playing with other dogs, playing with the humans, exploring, sniffing at everything, and taking naps! If you are looking for a precious girl, look no further! Contact the rescue today and give them my name because I am waiting to meet you!

14. Priscilla Prissy

Puppy · Black Mouth Cur / Labrador Retriever (medium coat) · 46 mi from San Marcos

Welcome Priscilla “Prissy” to CCPAL Rescue. Priscilla is a 10-week-old sweetie. Lab/Black Mouth Cur mix is our best guess. She should be a medium sized dog 28 pounds or less. He is sturdy and has longer legs then her stubby legged brother. Her mom is Pickles and she is also medium sized. She is getting lots of attention at the Rescue and she is social, good with other dogs, good in a crate, learning wee pad manners and is over all a very nice puppy. The kennel staff usually bathe and clip toenails on a regular basis as well. She will be fine with grooming. She has a soft fluffy coat and adorable expressions. She was found as a stray with her mom who is Pickles. She is getting all 3 sets of his puppy vaccinations and will be spayed soon. 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. Prissy would be fine in a family with children. We like them to be 8 or older. A puppy is always best with someone that is not gone all day every day. A puppy needs to bond with his humans and to go places to remain and grow up to be a well-rounded dog. Priscilla will also need to finish her puppy training. She would be great in a doggy daycare as she gets time playing off leash with other puppies her size. 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.

16. Lite Brite

Puppy (7 months) · Female · Belgian Shepherd Malinois / Chihuahua / Mixed · 44 mi from San Marcos

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.

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.

17. Laredo

Puppy · Male · Boxer · 33 mi from San Marcos

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.

Read more about Laredo

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.

We do think Bitsy will be 15 pounds or less full grown. She is not a big shedder.

She would be fine with other dogs. She can go with children. We like them to be 8 or older. She is getting spayed, vaccinated and she will be ready for her forever home.

Meet the April 8th Puppies!
These adorable puppies were born on 4/8/26 and are just beginning to explore the world around them. At this age, their personalities are still developing, but they’re growing into playful, curious, and loving little companions.
Like all puppies, they will need continued training, socialization, patience, and plenty of love as they learn about the world and grow into confident adult dogs. Their future families should be prepared for all the fun (and work!) that comes with raising a puppy — including housetraining, basic manners, chewing, playtime, and lots of cuddles.
These pups are looking for forever homes committed to helping them become happy, well-adjusted family members.

Adopting a puppy in San Marcos

Puppies usually go to their new homes from about eight weeks old, once they're weaned and have had their first vaccinations. Most rescues spay or neuter them before adoption, or include it in the fee.

Ask the rescue how big the puppy is expected to grow and which breeds they think are in the mix, so you can plan for the dog they'll become.

Puppies need a lot of your time: house-training, a few minutes of training every day, several small meals, and someone home often enough to let them out. A puppy class is a good way to start.
