Indi
Indi is a 10 months, spayed female, Whippet/Shepherd mix, currently 50 pounds (she still has a little growing left to do).
Indi is a young dog who nearly lost her life at an overcrowded shelter in Texas. She still has that puppy energy, but also LOVES to cuddle. She does need proper introductins with other dogs as she is still learning boundaries and other dog's space. She has played well with every dog she has met where she's had a slow introduction. She will be submissive and again is learning how to pick up on other dog's ques. She very much wants to learn!
Regan
Reagan, 1.5-2 years old, spayed female, Pitbull mix, 42 pounds.
We love this adorable pup and we hope you will too! She is very dog friendly and LOVES every dog she has met so far. Male, female, big and small- this girl makes friends with everyone! She has even recently been approved for playgroups at a recent doggy daycare. She loves to chase and wrestle dogs her size or smaller. Reagan is energetic and very playful. She will do best in a home with another dog who likes to play or an active home that can give her physical outlets.
Austin
Austin, 3 years old, neutered male, Pitbull mix, 60 pounds.
Austin is a very happy and playful dog! He nearly lost his life at an overcrowded shelter in Texas. We discovered shortly after arriving to his foster home, that he is deaf. This does not slow him down or keep him from being a loveable guy. There is no additional training you need, just an awareness that he needs to see you in order to respond to you! Austin is VERY dog friendly. He has been around several different dogs and he LOVES to play. We think he would love another dog in the home and one who enjoys wrestling or running around. He has gone to dog parks as well and loves to make friends. He fetches the ball and likes to play tag.
Daffy
Daffy, 2 years old, neutered male, Plott Hound Mix, 65 pounds.
Daffy was picked up as a stray on the City of Houston streets and then found himself on the euthanasia list at BARC. He was minutes away from being euthanized when a plan came together to save him. Dizzy Dog Animal Rescue and his foster saved his life. Now he is ready for his furever family.
Daffy is a fun loving playful guy. He loves to play with other dogs, his foster mom's senior dogs are not to thrilled about playtime so she signed him up for doggy day camp and he has made honor roll there! He would be best in a home with other dogs that like to play and with his energy level his family should be active.
Flower
Meet Flower - 1.5 years old, 45 lbs, Labrador Retriever mixed breed, spayed female.
Flower found herself on the euthanasia list at San Antonio ACS in Texas and a foster reached out to us and asked if we could save her and we did.
Flower is medium energy she likes to play but she also likes to be a couch potato. She is dog friendly but we feel if she is in a home with other dogs they should be her size, she does tend to play a little rough sometimes and will show her jealous side side if she is not getting enough attention. Flower loves to go on walks, she goes twice a day currently, with her excitement to go she may pull a little at the beginning but she settles in and enjoys sniffing around.
Flower is fully housebroken and has a crate that she chooses to go in to sometimes other times she will sleep in her doggy bed. Flower would love a backyard to play and sunbathe in. She is a very sweet dog and would make someone a wonderful companion.
Sanford
Sanford, 1.5 years old, neutered male, Labrador mix, 45 pounds.
Sanford is a young dog who is very energetic. He shares a home with a 90 pound Mastiff mix who tends to be more alpha. Sanford plays really well with him! Sanford gives off that playful puppy exuberance. The other dog in the home is a little older and when he's done playing, he lets Sanford know and politely finds something else to occupy his time. His foster mom has taken him to the dog park a few times and he really enjoys making friends and playing with other dogs. When leashed, he wants to greet other dogs with tail wagging. We think he would do great with another dog in the home, but not required.
Annie
Annie, 6 years old, spayed female, Black Mouth Cur mix, 50lbs.
Annie is a sweet girl who really values quality one on one time. Her ideal person is someone who has some experience with dog training. Her previous owner likely did not ever socialize her, with humans or other animals. She needs to be the only dog in the home.
Annie's favorite things are: cuddling, long walks and car rides. If she could, she would ride in the co-pilot seat every time.
Hazel
Hazel found herself at the San Antonio shelter with her puppies after her owner decided they could no longer care for her. She's been at her foster home for over a month and has blossomed into a wonderful, loving, fun girl.
Hazel is around 2yrs old. She is a happy, smiley girl who LOVES attention and is always wagging her tail. She loves toys, puzzles, treats and playing.
Her favorite thing is belly rubs and being tucked in when it is time to go to bed for the night.
She is potty trained, knows how to sit and is currently working on not jumping for excited greetings. She's a fast learner and trainable, as she is very food motivated. She has been putting in the work with a trainer.
Hazel is a water girl! She loves it so much, she likes ice and loves getting baths! Hazel is always down for an adventure. She loves car rides and going for walks. She's great on a leash.
Forms and Applications
Adoption Application

Contact us now and embark on the journey of finding your new four-legged family member!
Foster Application
At Dizzy Dog Animal Rescue, our foster program is the cornerstone of our mission to make a significant impact on the lives of numerous dogs.
​
Do you have an available spot on your couch or floor? By becoming a foster parent to a dog, you have the power to save a precious life. All these dogs require is a safe place to rest their heads at night. Everything else, from supplies to medical care, is provided by the rescue. Without the dedication of fosters, hundreds of dogs wouldn't survive the shelter system. You can be their hero by offering them a temporary home until they find their forever families.
​
Each time a foster parent opens their home, a kennel space becomes available, thus saving another life. Fostering allows you to make a double impact by saving two lives. Concerned about your work schedule? Many fosters and rescues successfully balance fostering with full-time jobs. Have children? Some dogs absolutely adore kids. Worried about becoming attached? Remember, letting them go to their forever homes is always preferable to the alternative of being euthanized due to lack of space.
​
Dizzy Dog Animal Rescue is constantly seeking both short-term and long-term fosters. If you have any inquiries about fostering or if you're ready to save a dog in need, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Your compassion and willingness to foster can truly change a dog's life.

Testimonials
We found Ajax on Petfinder December 31st, 2022.
​
I didn't think my boyfriend was wanting me to put in an application for him because we had JUST agreed to wait until Christmas 2023 to rescue a pup.
However, the next day we were sitting there on the couch looking at his profile again and I was asked if I had the application in for him yet and right then, we decided we would apply and do whatever we needed to get him home.
We've had home for about 3 days now and he fits in so perfectly. Our old man gets to sleep and relax more ( and our young pup gets along with him and they LOVE to run and play in the backyard together.
​
We couldn't thank Dizzy Dog enough for helping get us wonderful ball of energy.
