APPLICATION LINK: https://shaynesrescue.com/adoption-application-pet-central-satx/

We must have an application to move forward.

In foster near Olympia, WA

TACO is 1 ½ yrs old (DOB 9/24/24). He’s a bright, beautiful, smart dog. He’s still young and everyday things still can surprise him. He’s strong on the leash…still needs a little training. He loves other dogs and totally ignored my cats in the house (I have 3). Knowing his behavior, he probably would be interested in chasing cats outside if they run…but most dogs see that as fun. He is gentle and loves treats…a little leery of strangers but a gentle voice and treats wins him over quickly. He is strong and healthy…good for someone who wants a companion for hiking or running. He is good for long walks. He is 55#s and because off his size I would not put small children with him. Larger children would be able to keep up with him. We believe he is part Pit and part Australian Cattle Dog. Only a DNA test will tell for sure. He is house trained and crate trained. He does great riding in the car and is getting better at getting in the car voluntarily. I have found he learns quickly…smart dog. He knows his name but for a nickname we call him TACO PACO. The thing that makes him cute is his ears… they make him look like “The Flying Nun.” The day we took the pictures it was very hot and bright and I couldn’t get him to bring his ears up. He’s so cute with such BIG ears!

Adoptions include neuter/spay, vaccinations (DHPP, Bordetella, Rabies), microchip, health certificate, transport with our professional dog transporter, and 6 mos of heart worm prevention.

HOW ABOUT FOSTERING! If you are not in the position to afford a puppy/dog but still want to be an important factor in dog rescue, we recommend fostering. Fostering ensures you incur no vet bills and no boarding fees while saving a life and enjoying the love of a canine companion. We are always in need of good fosters.

This is a post on behalf of Pet Central SATX Rescue, headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, where there are over 350,000 homeless pets. We have hundreds of puppies/dogs available so there really is no need to apply anywhere else. Also, one application is good even if you are interested in several different dogs...one application no matter which one you choose.

Thank you for choosing to adopt a rescue pup/dog. We firmly believe there is NO breed other than "rescue" for all species. Thank you for being part of the village it takes to save these precious lives.

The Australian Cattle Dog, also known as the Blue Heeler, is a hardworking and intelligent breed originally developed in Australia for herding cattle. Renowned for their endurance and agility, these medium sized dogs have a striking blue or red speckled coat and alert, curious expression. With a strong herding instinct and boundless energy, they require mental stimulation and physical activity to thrive. Blue Heelers are loyal, protective, and make excellent companions for active individuals or families willing to provide the engagement and exercise they need.

The Pit Bull Terrier is a resilient and loyal breed known for its muscular build and loving nature. Originally bred for bull baiting and later dog fighting, Pit Bulls today are beloved family pets cherished for their gentle temperament and playful personality. With proper training and socialization, Pit Bull Terriers make affectionate companions that thrive on human interaction. Recognized for their strength and agility, these dogs require regular exercise and mental stimulation to channel their energy positively, reinforcing their reputation as devoted and trainable pets.

We are foster based so meets can happen 7 days/week since we do not have 'office hours'. It is up...
