✨ Looking for an adopter! ✨

Oatmeal is a 5 year old shepherd mix. She came to Austin Pets Alive! Feb 2024 with a chronic spinal injury that led to paralysis in her hind legs. While her primary mode of transportation is a wheelchair, she can also be transported short distances via sling.

Oatmeal says “pshh, injury schminjury..that ain’t gonna slow me down!”. She LOVES to go on walking trails, chase her foster dog siblings, play, and fetch a ball (annnd not bring it back 🙄). She can also scoot around pretty dang fast!

To add onto her condition not slowing her down, her personality is even better! She’s truly a social butterfly with the sweetest and most gentle demeanor. 💕

Annnd to add onto both of those, she is dog, kid, AND cat friendly! 🐕 👧 🐈

Never cared for a wheelie dog and don’t know what to expect? I can put you in touch with someone that can answer all the questions and support you along the way If you chose to do an adoption trial.

It should be a felony that a dog named French Fry is homeless, ESPECIALLY for almost 2 years. HOW?! If I didn’t already think society is corrupt, this seals the deal.

I was walking dogs at and saw this ham staring at me through his kennel door. I walked up, saw his name was French Fry, and he grabbed his ball and stood at the door with his puppy eyes wagging his tail. SOLD, let’s hang out buddy! And he surely didn’t disappoint. 💙🍟

If you’re interested in fostering or adopting him, email [email protected] or stop by the shelter between 12-6 daily.

While I was away, Chuck scored a foster! 🥰 All The Long Stay Project dogs are officially out of the shelter and in foster homes!

Next month it will be 2 years since Chuck came to Austin Pets Alive. If you’re interested in adopting best boy Chuck, please email [email protected].

I will be out of the country with limited access to my phone. My messages and comments are not being monitored. See y’all on the 24th! 🩷

Nectarine’s foster is traveling and needs someone to watch her while she’s away! If a sitter isn’t found, Nectarine will go back to the shelter during that time. So, I REALLY need y’all’s help getting the word out!

𝘏𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴:

- Must have the space/setup to keep any resident pets separately since it’s such a short period of time.

- Older kiddo or adult only home.

𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘴𝘢𝘺𝘴:

- She is so smart (knows sit, wait, place, shake, treats) and entertains herself with staring out the window, puzzles, treat balls, lick mats and plushies

- Her favorite things to do are parkour, play with plushies and cuddle on the couch

- She’s well behaved when home alone and can be left for a full working day (with a guarantee to parkour on you and bring you her favorite plushie when you come home)

- She can be an active dog (I’ve walked her up to 2hrs in a day) but is also happy to relax at home by your side

My latest obsession: Stefka and her stuffie. 🥺

Stefka has been a must visit for me every time I’m at for about a month now. I’ve been trying to hold off adding another dog to The Long Stay Project until one gets adopted but, seeing her stop on our walk today looking like a sad baby with her stuffie..may have just broke the seal..and my heart. She’s been at APA since 11/2023, has been more stressed lately, and could really use a foster or adopter.

In case you’ve ever wondered what Chuck would look like in Valentines pajamas, you’re welcome. ☺️💘 Howwww has this heart throb been at Austin Pets Alive for 681 days?!

Can’t adopt? Consider fostering! He does have potential to live with a well matched dog friend. Please email [email protected] or stop by the shelter if you’re interested in learning more about him.

Okay, I had to share these immediately. Guys, Nectarine is sooo happy in her foster home! 🥹😭💕 There’s something incredibly special about seeing a dog that’s sat in the shelter for 3 years with very minimal interest be in a home setting. I’m so thankful she landed the foster she did and that someone also gets to witness the true Nectarine we know and love so much!

If you’re interested in being Nectarine’s forever family, please email [email protected] or apply below:

LET 👏 THEM 👏 DECOMPRESS 👏 Like, truly decompress.

You don’t need to introduce your friends and family to your new dog right now.

You don’t need to take your new dog to your favorite store, bar, restaurant, etc.

Give them space.
Give them time.
Give them patience.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk. Over and out.🫡 💕

Chuck recently got a sleepover during the cold weather too! He is back at the shelter waiting for a foster or his forever to pick him. These were the notes his sleepover host shared:

• Toy Lover: Chuck loves toys, especially durable ones. He has a blast ripping apart stuffed animals, so be ready for some fluffy fun!

• Chewer: He enjoys chewing on bullsticks and is happiest when he has one to keep him entertained.

• Bed Enthusiast: Chuck adores his bed and even likes to carry it around with him—it’s his comfort zone!

• Affectionate: Chuck is a snuggle bug who loves giving kisses and curling up with you.

• Quiet & Obedient: Chuck is as quiet as a church mouse! He listens well, goes to bed when told, and waits patiently in the morning until he’s let out.

• Morning Sunshine: When it’s time to start the day, Chuck greets you with wagging tails and happy kisses, ready to bring joy to your morning!

Chuck has been at Austin Pets Alive for 𝟲𝟳𝟮 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀. With notes like this, I’m not sure how! He’s only 4 so he’s spent a good chunk of his life in a shelter. 🥺

If you’re interested in adopting or fostering Chuck, please stop by Austin Pets Alive any day between 12-6 or email [email protected].

Oatmeal had to have her wheels in 4 wheel drive this week! ❄️ She is warm and cozy in a foster home but is stilllll looking for her forever home. Oatmeal is even dog 𝗮𝗻𝗱 kid friendly!

Before I go into her medical/care needs, let me preface that 1) Austin Pets Alive and Oatmeal’s fan club can teach you all of this! 2) It’s not as scary as it sounds. 3) Oatmeal is very tolerant of all this, knows the drill, and has such a gentle demeanor! Okay, moving forward - She is f***l and urinary incontinent with her primary mode of transportation being a wheelchair. She scoots around pretty well when out of it and can also be transported with a sling. Oatmeal will need someone to give her daily expressions (it’s actually pretty easy!) and able to lift the hind legs of a 70ish lb princess. 👑

If you’re not sure that’s something what that lifestyle would look like but reallllly want to try because you love Oatmeal, you can always start (and it’s encouraged) with an adoption trial (aka “foster to adopt”). Please email [email protected] if you’re interested in Oatmeal!

When Nectarine’s foster went out of town, we had to find sitters to keep her out of the shelter. Two sitters came through (THANK YOU!). Nectarine and her foster wanted to give them an extra special thank you by giving some handmade Nectarine art. 🥹🩷 Nectarine has been at Austin Pets Alive for over 3 years now and is still looking for her forever home! If you’re interested, please contact [email protected] #atx #austintexas #austintx #adopt #fosterdog #fosteringsaveslives #rescuedogs

This little Tokyo drifter is looking for a home! 😂🏎️ Nectarine has been soooo happy in foster! She is more than ready for her forever home though.

I have Chuck on a sleepover for the night and apparently decided to bring the noisiest toy..whiiiich also turns out to be his favorite. It’s okay, I’ll sleep tomorrow! 😂🤦🏻‍♀️ Stay tuned for more Chuck sleepover spam! Chuck is available for adoption or foster at @austinpetsalive . Please email [email protected] or stop by the shelter between 12-6 daily for more info.💙

@austinpetsalive put together this video of Oatmeal that shows you her conditions don’t slow her down one bit! 🛞 While at the shelter, Oatmeal is part for the Ruff Tail Runners which allows her to go on the trail along Lady Bird Lake. When she saw her wheelchair being moved to her door, she knew it was go time and was beyond excited to hit the trails! On her trail walks, Oatmeal loves to sniff around, people watch, and engage in her favorite sport.. squirrel-watching. 🐿️ If you love strolls around the neighborhood or like to go on trails, Oatmeal can absolutely be your partner in crime wheels and all! If you’re interested in adopting Oatmeal, please email [email protected] #atx #austintexas #austintx #texas #wheeliedog #dogsofinstagram #adventuredog #trails #ladybird #ladybirdlake #townlake #zilker #dogoftheday #adopt #adoptdontshop #fitness #adventure

Reposting because .. 💯. The people saying the most are doing the least. #Repost @tfo300 ・・・ I wish I could say this is satire but it’s the reality, everyone wants rescues to save all the dogs but won’t step up 🤷🏼‍♀️ . . . . . #rescuedogsofinstagram #rescue #dogrescue #rescuelife #dogrescues #dogadoption #fosteringsaveslives #fosterdog #fosterdogsofinstagram #animalrescue #dogsofinstagram #fosterdog #animalrescue #dogadoptions

Delta’s gentle sweet face kills me. 🥺😭 She’s been waiting 3 YEARS for her forever home. Delta was really struggling with the stressful shelter environment. A few months ago, she hit the foster jackpot! She successfully lives with her foster dog siblings and proved she’s home ready. 🏡 She would do best in an adult only home but has potential to live with older teenagers. She can absolutely live with well matched dogs! Heck, she would probably even prefer a playmate to keep her company! 🐕 If you interested in learning more about Delta, please email [email protected]! 📍Austin Pets Alive - Austin, TX #fosterdog #fosteringsaveslives #foster #fosterdogsofinstagram #rescuedog #rescuedogs #rescuedogsofinstagram #dogsofinstagram #dogreels #atx #austintexas #austintx #adopt #adoptdontshop
