Falkor - Golden Retriever and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Austin, Texas

Earlier this summer Falkor made his way over to Austin Pets Alive! after likely being hit by a car. With great medical care, Falkor is on the mend, though with only three legs now! A tripod gets around as well as a quad-pod, even on stairs!

Despite everything, Falkor's spirit shines though! This gentle giant has a heart as soft as his fur. Mellow and easy-going, Falkor is the kind of dog who just wants a cozy corner, a loving hand for head pats and scritches. In his foster home, he's living with another tripod alumni and other canine and feline companions!

Physically Falkor is well on the mend and now he's ready for his heart's desire-a home of his very own!

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
