A little playtime while waiting for a home of her own. Meet Snickerdoodle! ❤️
Snickerdoodle is available for adoption at our Balcones Woods PetSmart adoption center in Austin, and this video is a little glimpse of the moments our volunteers capture for us between feeding, cleaning, and caring for the cats.
We’d love for the next video to come from Snickerdoodle’s very own home.
If this little face made you stop scrolling, apply to adopt Snickerdoodle! You might just find the family member you’ve been looking for.
Please share and help Snickerdoodle’s future family find this video. ❤️

Meet Loni Anderson & Burt Reynolds. ❤️
Lonnie is 3, Burt is 5, and each weighs about 14 pounds. After repeatedly getting out of the yard over the past year, they were scheduled to be surrendered to a local shelter. Their owner had been going through difficult circumstances while working very long hours and could no longer manage the searches, reclaim trips, and fees.
Thank you to the two foster homes who stepped up without hesitation and changed their story.
Because pugs can be especially vulnerable to respiratory complications from illnesses like kennel cough, our goal was to keep Loni and Burt from entering the shelter kennels entirely.
But once they went to our loving foster homes, came the difficult news: both tested positive for heartworm disease—a potentially fatal illness transmitted through the bite of an infected mosquito and preventable with consistent, year-round heartworm prevention. We are just grateful they are in our care to get treatment!
They began doxycycline around October 1, which is phase 1 of their treatment. If everything proceeds according to schedule, they’ll receive their first heartworm injection around October 31st. They will need to stay rested from that point on through the rest of their treatment. Shots two and 3 will be on consecutive days about 30 days later. After another month of closely monitored rest, they should complete their initial treatment and recovery period in mid January.
However, would consider pre-adoption (or foster-to-adopt homes) for families committed to helping either dog safely complete treatment.
Their former owner, who has three children, described them as affectionate and wonderful with kids. They have also lived with dogs and cats.
These sweet pugs deserve safe, stable homes where they never have to wonder what comes next.
