4 adorable pups to adopt now in San AntonioPhotos: Petfinder

Interested in adopting a pet — or just looking at some adorable pups near you up for adoption? There are dozens of darling puppies up for adoption at animal shelters in and around San Antonio.

Animal shelters and pet rescue groups work hard to care for unhoused pets and connect them to loving homes. Hoodline used data from Petfinder to power this roundup of puppies currently available for adoption.

(Details like pet availability, training, vaccinations and other features are based on data provided by Petfinder and may be subject to change; contact the shelter for the latest information.)


Poppy, chihuahua

Poppy is a female chihuahua puppy being kept at Poquita Paws Rescue.

Poppy is happy to keep company with kids, dogs and cats. Her vaccinations are up to date. Poppy is already house-trained.

Here's what Poppy's friends at Poquita Paws Rescue think of her:

Poppy was a very shy pup, and she has now gained a great deal of confidence being around other dogs and having a routine in her life. She would be best with another playful dog and an active family. She loves being in the backyard playing with toys and exploring. She needs some training with leash walking and basic commands, but she is very smart and learns quickly. 

Apply to adopt Poppy today at Petfinder.

Harley, Australian shepherd mix

Harley is an adorable male Australian shepherd puppy being kept at Pet Central Dog Rescue.

Here's what Harley's friends at Pet Central Dog Rescue think of him:

Harley is a very fun-loving, happy puppy. He is friendly but a little shy yet. He will need one-on-one TLC to blossom. Harley has been raised outside and has not experienced house cats. He is not yet house-trained.

Checkers, terrier mix

Checkers is a female terrier puppy being cared for at Heart of Texas SPCA.

Checkers loves other dogs. Heart of Texas SPCA, however, recommends she be placed in a home without small children. She has been vaccinated.

From Checkers' current caretaker:

Checkers made her way to our shelter by a Good Samaritan trying to help. Checkers was healthy but only weighed two pounds and needed extra TLC. Now she is five pounds, feisty, sassy at times and ready to take on the world. She probably would not do well with young children and has only recently been able to play with other puppies.
