Baxter - Labrador Retriever and Collie Dog for Adoption in Austin, Texas

Hi, I'm new to the Austin-area and am looking forward to meeting a foster or adopter to help me get acclimated! My friends at APA might not know a ton about me yet, but a foster could help gain valuable home notes to help me find my forever home. I'm currently located at our Transport Hub and not one of our main shelter locations in Austin. Please email transporthub@austinpetsalive.org to learn more about me and set up a time to meet!

Their keen intuition and strong bond with their owners make them wonderful family pets and reliable working dogs in tasks such as herding livestock or in search and rescue missions.
