Ducky has brought incredible joy and love into our lives, joining our family in November 2023. He'd been rescued from a rural shelter and was recovering from heartworms. I joke with his foster Mom that he is The Perfect Dog, but he really did come to us "turnkey ready!" His favorite thing is sitting smooshed between the two of us on the couch (or on the bed-he MIGHT be a little spoiled). He is a happy guy with a range of walks to express emotion--his prance, his hop, his march. And, of course, his zoomies, which are something to behold, considering his low rider build. Ducky is a testament to the beauty and resilience of shelter dogs and we are so grateful y'all saw him and rescued him.

My family and I adopted our baby girl two years ago. She was a stray in San Antonio and got hit by a dumpster truck at just a few months old. She fractured her back leg, and was 15 minutes away from being put down when Austin Dog Rescue and her foster mom rescued her. A few months later, we found her. We had recently lost our childhood dog to a tumor, and we were finally ready to add a new addition to our family. And our puppy fit right in! We love her with all our heart. We named her ‘Vida Nova’ for new life. Thank you to Austin Dog Rescue and all the foster pawrents out there!

We adopted Luna a month ago and couldn't be happier. She loves running the trails, dipping in the creek, traveling, sleeping in the semi truck, bonding with the cat and giving so much love to our family. Thank you ADR for saving this precious little girl. From the day I met her I knew we would be perfect together. She is my constant companion and my grandson's best lil buddy! We look forward to many wonderful years of smiles, laughter, love and miles together. I don't know what I would do without her!
