Adopt from Austin Pets Alive!
Livy - adopted October 2008
Livvy is a bright-eyed girl who would love nothing more than to be on the go with her own special person. Inquisitive about the world around her, she adores long walks with time to explore and the chance for a splash in the water. She’s an overachiever at fetch who will play as long as you are willing. This pretty girl will sit on command and take treats gently from your hand. Children are a bit frightening to Livvy, so she belongs in an adult-only home. This affectionate, truly Austin-tatious dog is ready to be part of the fun and love of a forever home. For more information, email LivvyATtownlakedogsDOTcom.

Gabe - adopted
Gabe is a happy, funny puppy who loves all other dogs, cats, and people, including kids. With the right people, Gabe is the perfect dog. With the wrong people, he's been quite a handful (he's been adopted and returned to TLAC 3 times). He's currently in foster care with a volunteer and is thriving with mental stimulation, structure, and regular exercise.
He is incredibly smart and highly food-motivated, which make training fun and easy. He loves learning new tricks and is constantly amazing those around him with his abilities. He's currently in a search and rescue training class with Lee Mannix and he LOVES it!
Whoever adopts Gabe will need to continue providing him outlets for his energy and intelligence, in addition to being a benevolent pack leader. In return, they will get a calm, well-behaved, affectionate, and all-around delightful friend.
He would likely be a great second-dog for almost any household, since he likes other dogs so much and is good at reading their signals and responding appropriately. He is submissive with the 6 year old female and 5 year old male in his foster home.
He will need to be supervised around young children, as he can get overly excited when playing with them. Some simple guidance and firm rules-setting from adults are all he needs to behave appropriately around them.

Billy Jean - adopted August 2008
• 1-yr-old • Female • Pit Bull Terrier Mix • Fostered by Austin Pets Alive! • Arrived 31-Mar-2008
I’m just a young girl, but I was fending for myself when a Good Samaritan brought me to the shelter. I hope someone will see I'm special enough to take home for keeps. I love people, and I’m always ready to play with other dogs I enjoy walks and the water. I can sit, and I’m ready to learn anything else you want to teach me. Take me home, and let’s start a life of fun and love together.
To learn more, email BillyJean@TownlakedogsDOTcom to contact a volunteer. Billy Jean is being fostered by Austin Pets Alive! She was adopted but recently returned when her adopters' two alpha females refused to accept the new girl. Look for Billy Jean at APA's weekly adoption events.
