Lilah, redbone coonhound mix

Lilah gets along well with other dogs. She has mastered her house-training etiquette. She has been vaccinated and spayed.

Here's what Lilah's friends at The TRAPRS - Trapping, Rescue, and Pet Recovery Service think of her:

Sweet Lilah is a big cuddler despite being abandoned by people she thought she could count on. Now, she's thriving in a wonderful foster home. She can be on the shy side when it comes to new people but has a lot of puppy energy. She likes chew toys, tennis balls, dog parks and long walks. If you want a running or hiking partner, she's your gal!

Diego, chihuahua

Diego is a sweet male chihuahua dog currently residing at The TRAPRS - Trapping, Rescue, and Pet Recovery Service.

Diego likes to socialize, and he gets along well with other dogs. His vaccinations are up to date, and he's neutered. No need to worry: He's already house-trained and crate-trained.

From Diego's current caretaker:

Diego and his sister, Frida, were dumped in a southeast Austin neighborhood. He's currently living with his foster mom and follows her around like a shadow. Because he gets easily attached, he may have a hard time leaving her. But with the right amount of patience and love, you can give Diego the home he deserves.

This shy girl is about five years old. She needs some time to warm up to new people and new situations. Once she's settled, she's just as content to sleep all day as she is to chase a squirrel. If you're in Central Texas and can offer Dahlia a calm, loving home, contact us.
