Everything's bigger in Texas! Meet Big Tex, a wiggly boy with a big heart of gold.

"He's a sweet goober who just wants love," says one of Tex's former fosters. "He loves to eat and play with balls, bones and ropes."

- Big Tex loves people and thinks he's small enough to be a lap dog! He'll give you kisses in return for head scritches.
- This smart pup knows the "sit command, is house-trained and is content to sleep in his crate all night.
- Tex makes a perfect walking or jogging companion, as he's happy on a leash and loves exploring his neighborhood. When you're done walking, Tex relaxes in the sun or snoozes next to you while you work from home.

Big Tex capture your heart? Come meet him, and he'll give you a kiss!

INTERESTED IN FOSTERING?

This pup is currently located at our Town Lake Animal Center (1156 W. Cesar Chavez, but use 1200 Reserve Road for mapping purposes). We'd love to show them off to you! To learn more about them, head in any day between 12:00PM - 6:00PM. We are open 7 days a week! Go to Building B and ask to speak with a Matchmaker about fostering this pup. You will sit down and discuss all we know about them and, if it's a good fit, get to meet them then! Please budget for a wait time unless you arrive right at opening as we cannot dictate walk-in traffic (wait times tend to be highest in the evenings and on weekends). If this pup ends up not being the best fit, we have so many other pups in need that we can suggest for your household on the spot!

Come meet your new best friend
