🐾 HAPPY TAILS, ROCKY! 🐾
(dog on left - see comments for DNA result!)
Rocky’s story started several hours outside of Austin, hunkered beneath a car, terrified and trying to find shelter as one of the massive storms that caused devastating flooding across North Texas earlier this year blew in.
One of our volunteer’s college-aged sons spotted him and brought him to safety. When the local shelter later turned them away, the family didn’t give up. They hung flyers, posted everywhere they could, and spent weeks trying to find his people.
No one ever came.
So Rocky stayed safe with them, and what started as an unexpected rescue became months of preparing him for the life he deserved. ❤️
Luckily for Rocky, his foster mom is also a trainer, and she did an incredible job—not only helping Rocky become ready for adoption, but helping his new family understand what they could do to set him up for success.
His new family fell for this boy sight unseen and, once they finally met him in person, they couldn’t wait to bring him home.
Now Rocky has a family who treasures him, a home of his own, and a new fur sister approximately THREE TIMES HIS SIZE… whom he is already taking great pleasure in pestering.
From hiding underneath a car as a dangerous storm rolled in to standing proudly in the middle of his very own family photo.
This is what rescue is all about. Happy adoption, Rocky. You are HOME. (Jennifer Hunnicutt White)❤️Method Dog Training Joanna Elliott

Petco Sunset Valley is going to the cats this Saturday… with one very small exception. 😂
Meet Shrinky Dink — a 6 Chihuahua who is almost kitten sized and has therefore been granted honorary admission to our cat adoption event. Shrinky would like everyone to know that she is perfectly capable of being the center of attention all by herself, but she has begrudgingly agreed to share the spotlight with the cats.
She’ll be joined by adoptable kitties looking for families of their own, so whether your future best friend meows, purrs, or has a ridiculous little underbite, come meet them!
🐾 SATURDAY, AUGUST 8
⏰ 12–3 PM
📍 Petco Sunset Valley
5601 Brodie Ln, Sunset Valley, TX 78745
Come say hello, meet some seriously lovable animals, and maybe go home having broken a very questionable promise like, “We’re just going to look.” ❤️

Meet Kip! He has finished his heartworm treatment and ready for adoption!
Kip is equal parts playful adventurer and affectionate cuddle buddy. He has completed his heartworm treatment and is finally ready to begin searching for the forever family he deserves!
Kip loves walks, exploring trails, playing with toys, and spending time with his people. He can toss his toys around and happily entertain himself, but his favorite thing may be looking up at you with that sweet face and asking for love.
He is good with other dogs and does a wonderful job adjusting his play style to match his friends. He plays hard with energetic dogs who enjoy rough-and-tumble fun, but he knows how to tone it down with calmer dogs. After playtime, he is just as happy curling up and sleeping beside his canine buddies. Kip would likely enjoy having a playful dog friend in his new home, although regular opportunities to socialize with dog friends may be enough.
Kip can go from high-energy play to relaxing calmly in the house, and he loves to cuddle. He is crate trained and generally does well on leash, although he can become excited and would benefit from continued leash practice. Like many young dogs, he may occasionally bark or chew something he should not—especially if another dog gets the mischief started—but this is not a frequent issue.
Kip is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. He needs a cat-free home.
This affectionate, adventurous boy has so much love and personality to share. Some lucky family is going to be very happy they chose Kip!
