Hello! I’m Bowser, and I’m practically the cutest dog you’ll meet. Seriously, a Sharpei mixed with a Dachshund… doesn’t get any more ridiculously adorable. When the nice people at APA first met me at the shelter, I was totally terrified. I wouldn’t come say hello, I didn’t like being picked up, that place was so loud and scary I didn’t like it!

APA! took me into their program, and I was one of the first poster children for rescue doggies at APA! that needed training as … more

Some of you may have met me already, my name’s Chief, I’m a Dalmatian puppy. I was found wandering the streets of Austin with a bunch of cuts, scrapes, and worst of all – a broken leg bone that was sticking through the skin! Ouch! The shelter picked me up and took me to the doctor, where I was diagnosed with a broken bone and a bad bone infection. They called APA for help because they knew my medical bills were going to be too much and they would have to … more
