Panko is my name and at first, I might seem a bit serious. But the moment I see a leash I start jumping and howling with excitement! I'm happiest when I'm outside exploring and would love a home with a fenced-in yard or a family who can take me on daily adventure walks. I adore people and I also get along wonderfully with other dogs, especially if they are as playful as I am! Come meet me today and I'll tell you more! — Panko

Meet Darby, a spirited one-year-old, 33-pound cattle dog mix who is equal parts energetic athlete and affectionate lap dog, already showing off her smarts with training, great leash manners, and a love for toys, learning, and outdoor adventures. She gets along with dogs, and kids and is learning how to interact with cats! Darby would thrive with an active owner who enjoys training, exploring, and winding down with a loyal companion.

Looking for a medium-sized pet to enhance your life? How about me? I'm Lily, a very affectionate and smart young lady. I'm very manageable and adore the people I bond with. I enjoy playing with toys and I love the outdoors. I would prefer a home with a yard. Maybe we share the same ideas about life together. Let's talk!

I'm visiting some volunteer friends, but meeting is really easy! Send an email to fostercare@austinhumanesociety and they'll set it up right away! — Lily

I'm Patience and I'm a super smart, lovable puppy with a big personality and an even bigger heart! I already know "sit," and I'm fully housetrained. I'm learning a few basics and will benefit from some continued guidance, I'm eager to please and quick to pick up new training ideas, so that should be fun! I'm crate trained, and I love being involved in everything you do. I adore toys, take my meds like a pro, and absolutely love other dogs. I have a calm, cuddly side and will happily sit and watch TV with you.

I need a loving family who will be able to help me with my special medical needs. I have a heart condition that requires monitoring, but I'm full of love and joy and want to live life to the fullest! Come meet me today and I'll tell you more! — Patience

Sadie here! I'm a gentle giant looking for my forever family. I LOVE kids and would make a wonderful family dog. I'd also be a perfect individual companion. I'm housetrained, but I'll need a place with room for exercise and playtime. I'll be a faithful and loyal pet, grateful for a comfy home and loving people to call my own. Let me visit for a few days for a tryout. I'm a member of the Good Dog Club and come with many extras when you adopt me. I also just qualified for the Senior-for-Senior super discount! So many things to talk about. Come see me today and I'll tell you more. — Sadie

Tobi is my name and I'm a loving, loyal, and smart dog with a playful yet soulful personality. I form a strong bond with my people, and I thrive on attention, snuggling, and companionship. I'm housetrained, I respond well to commands like sit, stay, and come, and I enjoy car rides, walks, and playing with small stuffed toys. It's safe to leave me alone when you are out. I'm an affectionate fellow with a bit of "spicy" charm who will do best with people who can provide structure, reassurance, and plenty of love.

I'm visiting some volunteer friends so I'm not at the shelter but meeting me is simple. Just send an email to fostercare@austinhumanesociety,org and they'll set it up! — Tobi

I'm Big Dipper, one of the puppies named after heavenly bodies! We are cute, playful, and growing up fast! We need loving families to guide us as we learn new things every day. We will be large adults, so we'll need room for exercise and playtime. Come meet us and then try hard to decide which one to take home! I hope it's me! — Big Dipper
