I have noticed there are a lot of cute little Shih Tzus around Austin and N. Austin. My husband and I adopted one in 1992, there wasn't much information about this breed back then.  We fell hopelessly in love with her. She became our second child. (Shih Tuzs have that quality.)  We lost her to cancer after having her in our lives for nine and half years. Since retiring to Texas 3 years ago, my husband and I now have a Grand pup, Riley.  He has a great laid back personality.  Never seen a dog tha …

Hi, Thanks for joining our Meetup - I'm Rob Hill, the executive director and head coach of Team Spiridon. We're a non-profit group here in Austin that provides low-cost training for runners, that then raise funds for local animal welfare organizations like Austin Pets Alive, Emancipet, Love-a-Bull, Animal Trustees of Austin, and others. Last year, in only our second year as a non-profit, our runners raised almost $8,000 during their six months of half marathon and marathon training, bringing our …

RuffTail Runners (formerly "Jog-a-Dog") is a program brought to you by Team Spiridon, that encourages runners to run with shelter dogs, giving the dogs a little more exercise “off-campus”, away from the stressful shelter environment. As a result, they are better-adjusted, healthier, and therefore, more adoptable. This program is for runners, or at least walkers who can get the dogs out for a few miles - higher paces keep the dogs more focused and gives them more exercise, and makes some of them …

We will get together once a month and discuss a pre-set topic, for about an hour. Please DO NOT bring your pet or ask specific questions a …

Let's get together for some good conversation and dog play/exercise. I started this because there just aren't any groups that I could find for Mutts aka Designer Dogs, as I call mine. Only the Pit Bull group stated that pit mixes were ok but that left my Sharp-Pei rescue out. I started this group because I wanted to meet others who have chosen to give their hearts & homes to dogs that sometimes are totally left out. We can meet at the Round Rock Dog Depot for the first meeting and since I'm new …
