Available for adoption in TX, PNW and NE!

Meet Margo, a 8-month-old Black Mouth Cur mix with a heart full of love! At almost 30 pounds, she'll stay on the smaller side, but her personality is big and sweet. Margo is friendly with people and dogs, and while we're unsure about kids or cats, she's a quick learner. She's doing great with leash walking and house training, and loves her two daily walks with her foster brothers, Ace and Dandy. Margo is playful, especially when toys are involved, and she's happy to let you handle her, even during bath time!

Though crate training is still a work in progress, she's making steady improvements. She prefers to be close to her family but is gaining confidence to explore on her own. Margo is a smart, joyful girl, learning commands like sit and no, and she's always eager to please. Ready to bring this sweet, energetic pup into your home?

Available in TX, PNW & NE (excluding MA & NH)

Sapphire is a spirited and loving Blue Lacy who radiates joy and enthusiasm wherever she goes. This sweet girl has boundless energy and a zest for life that makes every moment with her an adventure.

Sapphire has been thriving in her foster home! She’s had no accidents in the house and settles into her kennel at bedtime with just a brief moment of whining. She’s confident and social, as demonstrated by her excellent behavior during an outdoor breakfast at a restaurant and her bold stroll through Tractor Supply. However, bath time is still a work in progress—this strong girl definitely keeps her humans on their toes!

True to her breed, Sapphire is active, energetic, and strong. She would be an ideal match for a big doggie sibling or an active teenager who can keep up with her playful spirit. While she loves to play, her size and strength can be a bit much for smaller or more delicate dogs.

Sapphire’s affectionate nature is one of her most endearing qualities. She thrives on companionship and loves being part of the action, whether it’s an outdoor adventure, a play session, or simply relaxing with her family.

Sapphire is looking for a home that can match her energy and provide her with the love, structure, and activity she needs to thrive. Could your family be the perfect fit for this lively and loving girl?

Sapphire is being fostered in Seguin, TX, and is eagerly awaiting a forever family to share her love of life. If you’re looking for a loyal, active, and affectionate companion to brighten your days, Sapphire is ready to be your new best friend.

Available in TX, NE (excluding MA & NH) and PNW!

Phoenix is a 6.5-month-old American Foxhound mix who is ready to find his forever home. This playful and smart pup is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and on monthly preventatives—he’s all set to start his next adventure!

Phoenix adores his people and is a big fan of fun. He’s great with other dogs, and his favorite activities include running, chasing, and playing to his heart’s content. He’s been around cats and, while he’d love to play with them, he’s respectful of their boundaries.
Phoenix is learning quickly and doing wonderfully with house training. He’s also picking up his indoor manners and honing his leash skills during daily walks.

We think Phoenix would make an amazing family dog, as he’s likely to thrive with kids who can match his playful energy.

If you’re looking for a smart, affectionate, and active companion, Phoenix might be the perfect fit for you. Don’t wait—this awesome pup is ready to light up your life!

Available in TX, NE & PNW (excluding MA and NH)

Dutchess is a delightful Bulldog mix with a heart full of love and a tail that never stops wagging. She is the definition of joy and is sure to bring a smile to your face every day. Always happy and ready for fun, Dutchess thrives on companionship and is eager to be part of your life’s adventures.

This sweet girl has a love for exploration and would make an excellent weekend travel companion. Dutchess rides wonderfully in the car, making her the perfect co-pilot for road trips or quick outings. Whether it’s a hike in the great outdoors or a simple trip to the park, she’s always ready to tag along and enjoy the journey with you. Her enthusiasm for life is contagious, and she’ll make every outing more enjoyable.

Dutchess is a dream at home, too. She’s potty trained, kennel trained, and has never had an accident in her foster home. She kennels perfectly and is so chill and easygoing, making her an absolute pleasure to have around. She takes treats gently, loves to cuddle, and enjoys going on walks where she doesn’t pull but loves to wander and sniff, soaking in all the scents of the world around her.

Dutchess gets along well with other dogs, but a meet-and-greet is required to ensure she’s the perfect match for her new canine companions. Her playful and friendly nature ensures she’s a joy to be around, whether it’s playtime in the yard or cuddles on the couch.

Currently in a foster home in New Braunfels, TX, Dutchess is eagerly searching for her forever home. If you’re looking for a cheerful, adventurous, and loving dog who will brighten your days and go everywhere with you, Dutchess is the one for you. She’s ready to fill your life with happiness and love!

Meet Bruno, a resilient and happy 10-month-old black Lab mix with a heart full of love and a zest for life. Bruno came into our local animal control with an injured leg, body full of BB pellets, and significant hair loss, but he’s made an incredible transformation. After his leg amputation and a lot of TLC, his coat has grown back beautifully, and he’s embraced life as a tripod with the sweetest spirit.

Bruno is the ultimate companion. He loves playtime, whether it’s fetching, romping with other dogs (he gets along with everyone he meets), or guarding his favorite toys. When it’s time to relax, Bruno is perfectly content being a couch potato, whether on the couch with you or snuggled up in his own bed.

He’s housebroken, sleeps well in his kennel, and is learning to walk on a leash like a pro. While he’s still building endurance on walks as he adjusts to being a tripod, his determination and quick learning are impressive. Bruno is initially cautious around new people but warms up quickly with a little patience and kindness.

Bruno is ready to bring his joyful energy and unwavering loyalty to his forever home. If you’re looking for a loving, playful, and resilient pup to join your family, Bruno is the one for you!

Adopted!

Meet Ruby, a 6-month-old Rottie/Doberman mix who is as sweet as she is easygoing! Ruby has been one of the easiest fosters we’ve ever had. She gets along wonderfully with our energetic 3-year-old boxer, enjoying endless games of tug-of-war and playtime. When she’s not playing, Ruby loves to cuddle up with her people, making her the perfect mix of playful and affectionate.

Ruby’s favorites include a good meal, a nice walk, and spending time with her doggy friends. She’s nearly house-trained, with only one accident so far, and does great as long as she’s let out after meals and throughout the day. At night, Ruby is a dream—she sleeps peacefully in her crate, and she’s so comfortable with it now that we don’t even need to close the door.

Ruby is ready to bring her sweet, loving energy to her forever home. Whether you’re looking for a cuddle buddy, a walking companion, or a playful pup to join your family, Ruby is your girl!

Meet Bear!

Bear is a curious and brave 3-4 month old Shepherd mix who’s always ready to explore the world by your side. His inquisitive nature means he’s eager to learn and discover what’s happening around him. When he’s not on an adventure, Bear is a cuddle bug who adores belly rubs and quality snuggle time.

Playtime is Bear’s favorite part of the day! Whether he’s tumbling around with his brother and big sister (a Husky mix) or rolling through the backyard, he’s always having a blast. He also enjoys spending time with his two small human friends—though sometimes he mistakes their toys for his own!

Bear is making great progress with potty training and already knows how to sit. He thrives on verbal praise and loves being told he’s a good boy. At night, Bear sleeps peacefully in his crate, snuggled up with his brother for comfort.

Bear would make a wonderful addition to a family who can keep up with his playful spirit and help him continue to learn and grow. Could Bear be the perfect fit for your home?

End-of-Year Appeal from Friends of Dogs Rescue

As we reflect on 2024, we are overwhelmed with gratitude for the incredible support from our community that has allowed us to save so many lives.

This year, we’ve had:

🐾 282 intakes – dogs rescued from Guadalupe County Animal Control, the streets, and unsafe situations.
🐾 233 adoptions – dogs placed into loving forever homes.
🐾 89 dogs currently in foster care – safe and cared for while waiting for their families.

But with this incredible impact comes great responsibility. December alone brought over $10,000 in vet bills, including one critically ill puppy, two amputations, and several other medical cases, along with routine care for all our dogs. The need is immense, and we can’t do this without you.

We are also stretched thin with only two main volunteers managing intakes, fosters, and adoptions. To continue saving lives, we urgently need help with:

📋 Reference Checking
🖥️ Database entry
📱 Social media posting

If you’ve ever considered volunteering, now is the time to step up and make a difference!

As we close out the year, we’re asking for your support to help us continue our mission. Your donations go directly to medical care, food, and supplies for our dogs. Together, we can give these deserving pups the second chance they need.

💙 Donate today and help us save more lives in 2025. Every dollar counts.
💙 Volunteer your time and skills to help us grow and thrive.

Thank you for believing in our mission and being part of the Friends of Dogs Rescue family. Together, we can make 2025 even brighter for dogs in need.
