From Churchill's caretaker:
Churchill, much like his namesake, is quite the crowd-pleaser. He may not be able to give speeches, but those loving eyes have a lot to say. Gentle, sweet and stately, get Churchill some spectacles and a pipe and he would wear them well! He is a dog of the people and is super friendly when meeting strangers, giving gentle kisses and hoping he'll get some belly rubs in trade. There is something really special about this wise old-soul. Churchill trusted his foster family immediately and has so much gratitude toward them. Whatever his life was before, it's miles away for this super sweet and gentle pup.

Horace, shepherd mix
Horace is a male shepherd mix currently residing at Austin Pets Alive!
His vaccinations aren't up to date quite yet, but he's been neutered. He has work to do on house training etiquette.
From Horace's caretaker:
Playful, goofy, affectionate, loyal and always just a tad confused, Horace is all dog all the time, and his demeanor reminds his foster mom of Dante the dog from Coco. Horace is house-trained, polite in the home and gets along great with other dogs of all shapes and sizes and wrestles with his foster doggie siblings every chance he gets. He prefers to be around people at all times, but can entertain himself with a toy or Kong if needed. He's super affectionate and likes to snuggle in close, and he will not think twice about climbing into your lap or anyone else's.

My name is Liv, and I'm a 3-year-old pug-mix lady ready to settle down to a good home! You may have seen some puppies at the Pug Rescue of Austin recently. Well, those are my puppies and I know they will get in great homes before too long. But I also want to say that this mom needs a home, too. Don't forget about me!
