Baloo, Appenzell mountain dog mix
Baloo is a darling male Appenzell mountain dog mix currently housed at City of Fort Worth Animal Shelter.
Baloo gets along great with kids, dogs or cats. He is already neutered, has had all his shots and is house-trained.
Here's what Baloo's friends at City of Fort Worth Animal Shelter think of him:
Baloo is unstoppable on walks, loves making new friends and is constantly curious and really friendly. He is still timid and scared of big noisy sites, such as construction sites or large intersections, but we can literally see his fears fade away each day. He is one of the smartest dogs I’ve met and will make an amazing companion. He really likes being outside, walking and jogging, is highly trainable and listens well. He matches the Appenzeller breed personality. We’d love him to meet someone who appreciates this breed, and is ready to spend time being active and training him, as we understand it is important for him to be a happy and healthful pup. Having a backyard would be a big plus for Baloo, so he can play freely, but taking him on walks and allowing him explore would be equally if not more beneficial.

Guss, terrier and pit bull terrier mix
Guss is an affectionate male terrier and pit bull terrier mix in the care of City of Fort Worth Animal Shelter.
Guss loves other dogs, cats and children. Rest assured: He's already house-trained, vaccinated and neutered.
Guss' current caretakers say:
Guss is the biggest couch potato anyone has ever met. 95% of the time he is lounging on the couch or his bed. He is slowly learning how to be adventurous and play with toys, though! Because Guss is such a chill dog, he does really wish to have full-time access to his people and the couch, and does not do well when confined. Guss has a little bit of his age showing, but his love for his people could go on forever!

Patches, terrier and pit bull terrier mix
Patches is a sweet male terrier and pit bull terrier mix staying at City of Fort Worth Animal Shelter.
Patches is gentle, and he is well-behaved around kids. Don't worry: He's already house-trained, his vaccinations are up to date and he is neutered.
Meet Patches:
Patches loves meeting new people — young or old! He is extremely loving and affectionate. His ideal day would be going on a brief walk, and then sleeping the day away somewhere near you. Patches walks with a limp, but that doesn’t slow him down while playing fetch or tug-of-war! Patches is great in the car, and very calm at bath time. If you are looking for a new best friend, Patches is your dog!

Maui, retriever and Labrador retriever mix
Maui is a cheeky female retriever and Labrador retriever mix currently housed at City of Fort Worth Animal Shelter.
Maui is the life of the party, and she enjoys socializing with other dogs or kids. Good news: She is already house-trained, vaccinated and spayed.
Maui's current caretakers say:
Maui wants to lay on someone’s lap, be petted and receive attention. Even though she weighs 65 pounds, she thinks she is a petite lap dog. Maui is amazing! Her name should be Love. That’s what she is — a big ball of love! She would be perfect with someone that needs a side-by-side companion 24/7. What a sweet and loving dog! We learned recently that she loves to play soccer!

Coors is a handsome male Labrador retriever dog staying at Allie's Haven Animal Rescue.
Coors gets along swimmingly with cats, dogs and children. Have no fear: He is already house-trained and vaccinated.
About Coors:
Let's face it — right now, America could use a beer. And what's better then a beer? A doggie version of beer! Meet Coors, or as we like to call him, Coors Light, since he has been successfully dieting. He is an eight-year-old purebred silver Lab.

Charlie, terrier and pit bull terrier mix
Charlie is an adorable male terrier and pit bull terrier mix in the care of City of Fort Worth Animal Shelter.
Charlie likes spending time around other dogs, but he would prefer to be placed in a household without goats or other animals. No need for concern: He is already neutered, house-trained and vaccinated.
Introducing Charlier:
Wiggle butt alert! A volunteer was passing out treats, and this guy made her stop and take him out. He gets so happy, his whole body moves.

Pops, terrier and pit bull terrier mix
Pops is a winsome male terrier and pit bull terrier mix currently housed at City of Fort Worth Animal Shelter.
Pops doesn't mind other dogs or kids, but his ideal forever home would be a cat-free environment. He's already neutered, has had all his shots and is house-trained.
Here's what Pops' current caretakers have to say:
Meet Pops! He sleeps a lot. He's calm, rarely runs. Easy to walk, rarely pulls and will go at your pace. He is quite strong, though, so on the off chance that he spots another dog across the street that he wants to meet, your strength will be required! He loves to snuggle and be around people. He also loves being outside to sleep in the sun. If you like bigger dogs that love to be around people and sleep a lot, Pops is for you.
