He loves playing with the other cats and spending time by the window, enjoying the fresh air and sunshine. Tini can be a little shy at first, but once he gains your trust, he becomes very friendly, fun, and gentle with people. Tini also has a twin brother, Buc-ees, and the two share a very close bond. They love to play together, groom each other, and spend time side by side. If you are considering adopting two cats, this could be a wonderful opportunity. The twins get along beautifully, they never fight and often team up, looking out for each other, which is why they are affectionately called “the Twinses.

Caramel is very intelligent and highly food-motivated, which can make training and bonding with her especially rewarding.
- [Ruth](https://hsctx.org/pets/ruth-6/): Ruthie seems to be some sort of german shepherd mix. The perfect combination of adventure and affection! She is destined for greatness! She has been blossoming in foster care for a little over a month. In just a few short weeks, lets just say she has definitely revealed some leadership skills. Problem solving, negotiations, and the ability to delegate tasks (she knows what she wants and how to get it…. Warning: puppy eyes have power)
Here’s what we’ve learned about this tiny but mighty bundle of puppy power:
- Dog friendly - she loves play time!
- Kid friendly - so long as they understand the curiosity of puppies!
- Crate trained
- Leash training is underway — but she prefers the freedom to run and play in a fenced yard
- Potty training in progress - she does well with a routine to follow
- Bring on the belly rubs and cuddles - when she isn’t busy with her daily puppy exploration, she loves affection from her humans
If you are looking to add a pup with purpose to your pack, this your girl!
- [Willow](https://hsctx.org/pets/willow-5/): She’s got opinions, she’s got boundaries, and she’s not afraid to share either of them. Will she love you immediately? Probably not. Might she judge you from across the room like a tiny, furry supervisor? Absolutely.
