Archie was one of 27 cats we rescued from an animal control had seized over 100 cats from an illegal and inhumane breeding operation. Archie's mom kept pushing away when her other kittens were nursing. He needed an immediate medical foster to regain strength and weight. He's now thriving and loved by his foster fur brother.

Sweet Pea was rescued from the Lockhart Shelter, a local shelter 40 minutes outside of Austin. Due to shelter over crowding and lack of local adopters and dogs like Sweet Pea are euthanized for space. Our visiting volunteer was immediately smitten by her sweet and gentle nature which has remained consistent since she brought her home! Sweet Pea's personality is a blend of kindness, intelligence, and gentle social charm. She's not just a dog; she's a social butterfly who thrives on making new friends. This sweet girl knows how to play gently with the little ones, and she respects her grumpy elder companions with grace and patience. An explorer at heart, Sweet Pea finds wonder in the world around her. She's a connoisseur of plush toys, chew toys, and soft beds, making her downtime truly luxurious. Sweet Pea is the embodiment of affection. She adores kisses, hugs, and cuddles, often resting her head on your chest to soak up the love. Rarely barking, she prefers to express her happiness through wagging her tail and sharing her infectious joy with new friends. This lovely lady is not just a socialite; she's also well-mannered. She's fully potty trained and crate trained, showcasing her commitment to being a well-behaved companion. While we won't mention the occasional shoe and chip clip mishap (we all have our quirks, right?), she's pretty much perfect in every other way! Sweet Pea is on a quest to find her forever family, one that appreciates her kind nature, intelligence, and boundless love. If you're seeking a loyal companion who'll greet you with endless enthusiasm and a heart full of love, Sweet Pea is your girl. Apply to adopt her and experience the magic of her sweet, sweet presence!
There's Something About Sweet Pea
Rescued from euthanasia from a shelter where Ace was afraid and showing behavior that people perceived as barrier reactive, this adorably stocky, big-headed goober has taught us an invaluable lesson: you can't judge a dog's behavior while in a stressful shelter environment.  From "scary" pound puppy to sweet lap dog, Ace's head is only outsized by his huge heart.
