Since 1997, Lifelong Friends has been providing a safe haven for abandoned and abused animals. Over 2,000 animals have passed through our doors. Since being founded as a no-kill pet rescue center, we have mainly been operated by volunteers. Assistance with medical treatment and spay/neuter initiatives has been made possible by funding from various grants awarded from corporations like PetSmart and agencies like LCRA and the Texas State Animal Friendly License Plate Foundation. Volunteers work hard caring for the animals and are as dedicated to improving community awareness. The rescue center has improved and expanded its facilities and operation by the grace of fundraisers like Strut Your Mutt, Amplify Austin, and the generous assistance of our many supporters. We are located in Lago Vista, Texas, approximately 15 miles northwest of Austin.

08/01/24 STILL LOOKING FOR A FOSTER OR ADOPTER!
URGENT PLEA! HUSKY LOVER'S PLEASE READ!The Lago Vista Police Department, Animal Control Officer has reached out to us for help for this handsome, young, male Husky! For 3 MONTHS! now he is being housed in a small kennel at the Police Station. The kennels are for holding a dog until a owner can come forward. They are not runs, they are not made for long term use. We need to find him a foster or home ASAP! We will cover his neuter, shots, microchip! If you foster we will provide food & cover his training! If you have some TLC, a secure fenced yard please call us at (512)267-6876. This dog is in this situation due to no fault of his own. He holds it to go potty so the likely hood he is housebroken is good!
Gunner is always a happy camper, but he'd be much happier if he had a home and family to share adventures. Gunner is about 4 years old, 55lbs and houstrained. Contact Lifelong Friends Pet Adoptions for more info.

It's tongue out Tuesday! Kenzie is a little girl with a big personality! One of our smaller dogs. She loves cuddles and snuggles. She does want to be your only one. She's about 4 years old and houstrained. Good with kids . Lifelong Friends Pet Adoptions for an application.
It's Foster Friday! Add some fun to your summer. These puppies would really benefit from being in a home. They were born in the shelter and are still looking for families. They are about 5 months old with great dispositions. Would be great for them to get out of the shelter to experience more of the outside world. www.Lagovistapaws.org to see info on individual puppies.
Help! If you can! We currently have 5 hound puppies & 25 adult dogs. We are in need of a particular puppy food, if we use anything different it upsets their tummy. Our senior dogs receive pate wet food no particular brand to supplement their diets. And all the dogs get large plain milk bones! Any help is much appreciated.
Tongue out Tuesday! It's Bandit! He is definitely one of a kind. Corgi /Heeler mix is our best guess. He's about 25lbs and just over a year old. He's neutered and up to date on shots.
He loves ball time and friendly with dogs his own size. He was born in an industrial park and saved by Lifelong Friends with his mother and siblings. Unfortunately , they are all still at the shelter waiting for homes. Bandit is initially a little shy, but warms up once he's comfortable. He would benefit from a foster home to learn about the world outside the shelter. Call (512) 267-6876 for more information about this special boy!
Happy Hounds at Tomlinsons this Saturday!

She loves people and gets along with other dogs. She is housebroken and does well in a crate. Weighs approximately 50 pounds. If you're looking for a calm, gentle, lower maintenance girl please consider fostering or adopting Izzy. She's been waiting way too long for someone to notice her.

Tongue out Tuesday! Meet Molly. All her brothers and sisters got adopted. This sweet girl is still living at the shelter wondering why no one picks her? She is about a year old, 70lbs , dog friendly and very sweet. She would love to have an energetic family to help her explore life outside the shelter.

Austin wonders why he has no adoption applications? He's such a good boy. About 2 hrs old, 60lbs and has gotten along well with the other dogs at events.
