Lucky Mutts is a network of foster homes and like most rescues and shelters, there are too many dogs that need our help! Here are the options we would like you to look into:
If you are having problems because of a behavioral issue, contact The Canine Center for Training and Behavior for help. They can perform an evaluation and give you a professional opinion on your best options.
Contact the SPCA to be put on their waiting list. The wait is about 6 months and your dog must be evaluated first. This shelter is for owner surrender dogs only and not for strays. Their number is 512-837-7985.
Contact a local rescue that specializes in the breed of dog you need to find a home for. They are listed at www.austinrescue.com
Keep the dog in your home and post him or her on our referral site. To do this the dog must meet the following requirements:
Spayed/neutered
Up to date on all vaccinations
Heartwom negative and on prevention - or on treatment
You must also do the following to ensure the safety of the dog:
Screen potential adopters
not for experimentation!!!
not for fighting or bait dogs!!!
etc.
Ask for an adoption fee
We ask for a $10 donation for this service. You can also bring your dog to our Meet & Greets (as listed on the home page).
And please, don’t “threaten” to take dogs to the pound to get more immediate help. Respect the life you hold in your hands!
Here, Gentlemen, a dog teaches us a lesson in humanity.

To post a dog, please send a short bio and as many as six (6) 411×308 pixel (or h/w ratio of 1.33) pictures to us. Also include your vet information so we can verify our requirements for posting and make the appropriate donation through Paypal. Thanks!
