Maybellene came to the shelter on 9/27/2026 with her littermates, Marisol and Merritt, after all three puppies were said to have been found as strays in a rural area in the middle of September. They all look to be pit bull mixes, maybe with other breeds like boxer and hound, and they are around 3-4 months old. Maybellene has been vet checked, microchipped, and appropriately vaccinated for her age (rabies and 2 distemper/parvo vaccinations). Her $150 adoption fee covers all of her vet work, including her spay surgery when she is old enough.
Maybellene is a happy young dog, but she will need basic training in all areas. This requires a committed and patient home in which she won't be left alone for long hours. She should do well with other dogs and is young enough to learn to interact well with cats. Like her siblings, there's a good chance Maybellene will grow up to be a large adult dog because of what her breed mix appears to be. Kids 5 and up would be best as she is still a puppy who has quite a bit to learn.
NOTE: Adoptions are done via private appointment once an application has been completed and approved.
We are located at 101 22nd St. SE in Austin, right next to the airport. It's exit 180B off of I-90, right off of 218 South.
We do require that potential adopters be at least 21 years old and that any resident dogs be up to date on vaccinations, heartworm testing/preventatives, and spayed or neutered.
