Dogs for Adoption in Spring Branch, TX: 20 Dogs Looking for a Home

When you go outside with her, Cassie taps into her Setter drive and she loves patrolling an interesting yard, flushing birds, and chasing squirrels. She’ll go outside on her own and do her business, but if you aren’t with her, she’s ready to come right back inside. She needs a home with a secure yard with 4 foot fences to keep her safe while she explores. She doesn’t need a large yard or hours of outside time, just enough to stretch her legs and work her Setter instincts daily.

Cassie does have a strong preference for women. She attaches quickly to females and tends to ignore men in the household. She will thrive in a quiet household where the primary caregiver is a woman who loves the constant companionship of an affectionate Setter. Cassie is a confident lady who knows what she wants, and she prefers to be #1 with her Mom so she’ll do best as an only dog or a laid-back, quiet canine companion who gives her space and doesn’t question her spot as Queen Bee. Cassie lived peacefully in a temp foster home with a confident cat. We haven’t assessed her with kids so we think she would be best suited for a home with older, respectful teenagers or an adult-only home.

Typical of field ES, particularly our confident girls, she can be a bit stubborn at times, though she is a quick learner who knows her name, responds beautifully to the command “Here,” and is doing well with her house-training. Cassie is a great traveler who loads easily into the car and enjoys riding along for the trip. She’s a good eater and a slow feeder works best. Cassie does experience separation anxiety when her beloved human is out of sight, which can result in barking or whining. She is starting anxiety meds to help her feel more secure and help her settle into this new life as an inside dog. The first 9 years of Cassie’s life were spent mostly in an outside kennel. Following the 3/3/3 rule in rescue, where dogs need 3 days to decompress, 3 weeks to learn their new routine and 3 months to know this is their home and safe place, Cassie is making good progress daily and we are hopeful that this gets better when she can trust that she is in a forever home.

Cassie is fully vetted, spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines and tests. She does have a heart murmur that is genetic; she can be as active as she wants and she is doing well on maintenance medications. Cassie is looking for an adopter who can offer patience, consistency, and a quiet routine. If you are a woman looking for a loyal, shadow-dog companion to patrol the yard by day and snuggle on the couch by night, Cassie is ready to fill your home with love.

Roz is a soft, sensitive, independent and sweet soul. She can be a bit timid and shy at first, but she is treat-motivated and eager to please. She already responds well to routines, coming when called by her name and a clap of the hands. Roz is a quiet and polite houseguest; she does not bark at the doorbell, visitors, or outside noises, and she is completely non-destructive. While she is permitted on the furniture and nothing is off-limits, she has not yet ventured onto the couch on her own. She is very affectionate and looking for pets and love, but prefers receiving affection when she invites it. Thanks to her structured routine, Roz is now house-trained and has had no accidents in her foster home! She is great in her crate, staying there contentedly for 2 to 4 hours during the day when her humans are away and sleeping soundly crated through the night. Typical of many field ES, Roz has a bit of anxiety about loud noises and thunderstorms so she is looking for a quieter, non-hunting home.

Like many female ES, she can be a bit bossy with her brother Boe when she has a highly valued toy or food so her foster parents feed Roz and Boe separately. Roz does not resource guard towards humans, and once the initial meal is done, she doesn't mind sharing and will happily swap bowls with Boe to finish up every last bite. During her veterinary exam, it was noted that Roz has a heart murmur; it is genetic and inherited from her mother Cassie who has the same condition. There is no concern regarding her daily high-energy activity levels, her forever family will want to monitor it regularly with your DVM.

When it's time to head outside, Roz turns on her true English Setter engine. She loves to self-exercise as much as 4-6 hours a day, staying very active, curious, and playful while patrolling the yard or resting on the porch with her foster parents nearby. Roz has a medium prey drive, typical for a field English Setter; she loves to track crickets in the mulch and "hunt" frogs near the pool, though she prefers to just watch the birds rather than give chase. She has a blast engaging in energetic, friendly games of "tag" through the open fence line with the neighbor's Vizsla, Golden Doodle, and German Shepherd. While she isn't fond of swimming, she did accidentally fall into the pool early on and was successfully taught how to find the stairs, and she can safely navigate her way out on her own. Roz rides well in the car and is a calm passenger with no history of car sickness.

Roz is friendly and social with people. She has been introduced to 16, 8, and 2 year old grandkids and she was fine; during a party in her foster home, when things got more busy and loud for her liking, Roz put herself in her crate which is left open during the day. When meeting other dogs, she is social and friendly. Cats are unknown, but her mother Cassie has proven to be cat-safe and they lived on the same property together her whole life.

Roz would make a good first English Setter for a family new to the breed. While we think she would be content as an only dog (provided she gets plenty of human attention) or with a dog that would appreciate her somewhat bossy girl personality, she is already a wonderful dog match with her brother Boe who is in the same foster home. They can be adopted separately, but our preference is to adopt them together; they love each other and it would be great for them to transition to their forever home together. They will make a wonderful bonded

Boe is a certified sweetheart, an absolute "lover," and a true "Velcro" dog. Like a typical sensitive ES, Boe’s feelings are on full display and he loves nothing more than crawling right up onto the couch to melt into your lap or get full-body pets. While he enjoys furniture privileges, he is respectful; if you tell him "no" or ask him to get down, he will happily curl up on the floor right next to you. Boe saves all of his typical Setter energy for the great outdoors; inside the house, he is calm, not-destructive, and does not bark at the doorbell, people, or noises. He is a fantastic houseguest who is treat-motivated and a quick learner. He comes running when you call his name and clap your hands.

Because Boe spent his first seven years living outside, he is still perfecting his house manners. He is great in his crate—happily resting there for 2 to 4 hours during the day when his humans are gone and sleeping beautifully crated through the night. He has only had one true accident in 5 weeks, though he does still have an instinct to hike his leg and this happens less than once a day. He wears a belly band like a champ to prevent accidents, and he is consistently improving as he adapts to his new, structured indoor routine.

Boe doesn’t guard resources and he doesn't mind sharing food or toys with other dogs and he will happily swap and finish up bowls with his sister Roz when she is finished and allows him to share.

When it's time to head outside, Boe turns on his true English Setter engine. He loves to self-exercise and with his foster parents nearby, he happily spends 4-6 hours a day enjoying the fresh air, patrolling the yard, and resting on the porch. He has even figured out how to use a doggie door that leads to a climate-controlled outside shop! He has shown no interest in climbing or jumping fences and has a low escape drive, though standard safety precautions keeping gates and doors closed should be taken since he can be curious and most Setters will happily take the opportunity for a “run about” if given the opportunity.

Boe’s prey drive is medium/typical for a field ES and he is endlessly amused by the little things, whether he is "hunting" frogs near the pool, tracking crickets in the mulch, or running through the grass to stir up the birds. While he isn't fond of swimming, he did accidentally fall into the pool early on and was successfully taught how to find the stairs, and he can now safely navigate his way out on his own. Boe is good in the car and a calm passenger with no history of car sickness.

Boe is social and friendly with everyone he meets and he loves attention. He can often be found underfoot and between your legs. He recently enjoyed a party with 20 guests, as well as a 5-6 hour visit with grandchildren aged 16, 8, and 2, and he was completely engaged, gentle, and friendly with all of them.

Boe is great with other dogs. He can be a bit submissive if another dog gets pushy. He has a blast engaging in energetic, friendly games of "tag" through the open fence line with the neighbor's Vizsla, Golden Doodle, and German Shepherd. Cats are unknown but Boe’s mother Cassie has proven to be cat safe, and they lived on the same property his entire life.

Boe would make a good first English Setter for a family new to the breed. While we think he would be content as an only dog (provided he gets plenty of human attention) or with a dog of a similar personality, he is already

Windy loves being outside and sunbathing. She also likes sleeping on the couch beside you. She likes to play with her foster Mom and also likes to play with the other dogs in her foster home!! Windy is like a puppy, very playful! The foster Mom thinks she would be good with kids since she has gotten so calm and has been very sweet. She is no longer so scared at her foster home, she just may need a little time to trust her new environment!

Windy has now been spayed and her puppies are old enough to be without her now. They will be going into their new homes very soon.

He is good with other dogs and is already playing with the dogs in his foster home. He will just need a home that gives him a little time to warm up and to understand he has been through a lot but is totally worth the wait. Another playful confident dog would help him to trust quicker and someone that is home more often would be good too. Cosmos is housebroken, loves snuggles and his kennel is his safety place when needed. He might be ok with older kids that will give him a little time, not sure he would do well with littles. If he sounds like the dog for you, put your application in today!

When she isn't busy being the world's most enthusiastic fan, she's more than happy to curl up for some quality snuggle time. Luna gets along with other small dogs and enjoys having friends to play with, but she's just as content soaking up one-on-one time with her favorite human. She's also working on her potty training as she adjusts from apartment life to living in a house. What Luna wants most is a place to finally call home--a family who understands that trust takes time and is willing to help her discover that new people can bring good things, too. She may need a little extra patience when meeting strangers but the love she gives in return is something special. Could you be the person who shows Luna Belle that she's finally home for good?

I came from the very south edge of Texas. I love taking walks, cuddling in a pile of blankets, snuggling with my human, riding in the car, playing with toys, wrestling with fellow foster dogs, and getting treats! I can sleep in a kennel or squish beside my human in the big bed. I love making new friends whether they be human, canine, or feline. And I'm a true gentleman in a harness and leash and do my business outside.

If you think we'd make a good match, put in an application!

Bailey knows what she likes and isn't afraid to show it! She does well in large crowds and will try to steal some attention from you or your guests! She's an absolute sweetheart and cuddle bug with the people she knows and loves. With that being said, she is a little more reserved and may take a little longer to warm up with men. She's great with dogs of all sizes and enjoys having other pups around. She need at least one dog friend that will keep her company when you are busy or gone from home. She's also comfortable sleeping in a kennel with other dogs or alone and seems to do well with potty training so far!

We're still figuring out how she feels about cats, but she may be a little intimidated by them. Bailey is looking for a loving home that understands she may need a little time to warm up. In return, you'll get a devoted little girl who loves attention, enjoys the company of other dogs, and has plenty of personality to keep you smiling!

Following a long trip from South Texas, Chloe Rae went straight to our vet. Along with her puppy shots, microchip, and heartworm preventative, her X-rays revealed the source of her severe pain and limp: multiple pelvic fractures and a broken femur. To give her the best chance at a pain-free life, she underwent a Femoral Head Osteotomy (FHO) surgery after letting her fractures heal for a month. Her surgery was a success. We know what you're thinking... but we believe she is a "bashund" - basset on the outside, dachshund on the inside! At 22 pounds of pure sweetness, Chloe Rae loves cuddling, exploring, and playing with her foster dog brother (a DDRTX alum!) and foster cat sister. She’s already learned to sit, wait patiently for her meals, walk nicely on a leash, and sleep soundly in her kennel (though she certainly won't turn down a nap in the big bed). She is still working on housetraining. Since she has come into rescue, she was confined with limited movements until surgery and then again while recovering. She was confined for awhile and we had to give her time to heal before worrying about everything else. She has learned so much already!

If I sound like the pup that you think would make your family complete, get your application in! I can't wait to meet you, Love CoCo

He absolutely loves food and is already working hard on gaining back to a healthy weight! Just to be prepared to keep an eye on your own meals--Rio firmly believes that whatever you're eating must be just as good as what's in his bowl. If you're looking for a fun, affectionate little sidekick, who will keep you laughing, cover you in kisses and happily curl up with you after a day of play, Rio might just be your perfect match!

Maddie LOVES people and other dogs. She needs a home with a yard and another dog, preferably larger than her (she weighs close to 20 pounds), to play with. She enjoys walks and going to doggy daycare. While she does have lots of energy, she also wants to nap in your lap, especially if you have a blanket.

She would be fine in a doggy daycare as she is very social. Right now, I would say she is very sweet and very cuddly. People who have had this breed love it for the loyalty to their human. She is getting spayed and all her vaccinations at the Rescue. She is ready for her forever home. She would be best in a home with someone that doesn’t work all day everyday as she will need to finish up her puppy training. She would also be fine with children. We like them to be 8 or older due to her small size and trusting nature. A house with less stairs and less split levels would be best for her. She is currently in the CCPAL Rescue in Texas. She can be adopted locally or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get him to Washington, Portland, Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. Her adoption fee is $600 and transport is $200 to move her to another state. Rhode Island and Massachusetts are not states we adopt to because of the regulations imposed by these states.
