Date of Birth:  7 March 2004

Spot and Patches are great dogs!  They are both very loving, kind, and long to be around people.  Spot has a lot of energy and loves to run and play around the yard, but if you are inside, that’s where he wants to be.  He is very people oriented and thrives around his human companions.  Patches wants to be with you too but she is a quiet more independent dog.  They both do really well inside the house.  They get along with other dogs.

KRISTY – Lab/Redbone Hound - Spayed

Estimated Date of Birth:  14 August 2008

Kristy is a very mellow dog who loves everyone.  She is great with other dogs as well.  She can jump a 4-foot fence so she needs one taller than that so that she doesn’t escape.

Cheeto & Kristy were found in the middle of Eisenhauer Road.  There was heavy traffic and their rescuer was wondering why everyone was at a stand still.  Suddenly, she noticed Cheeto & Kristy in the middle of the road and she saw Kristy pulling Cheeto away from the traffic!  At that point, she realized she had to do something.  She called every no kill shelter she could find but nobody had room.  She had an appointment with the pound that morning and was desperate.  That’s when she found us, and now these two great dogs are safe and looking for their forever homes!  

RICO

JINGLES

SPONSORED BY SARAH DUNCAN

RICO & JINGLES – Leopard Catahoulas - Neutered

Estimated Date of Birth:  1 January 2009

These two brothers were rescued from a local small town area pound.  They were scheduled to be euthanized the day the owner of our sister shelter stopped in to see what was there.  She convinced them to wait a couple of days until she could find space for them but she didn’t have long because the pound fills up fast and the kill animals twice a week over there.  These two boys are very lucky to have made it out of there alive.  They are both really sweet and friendly.  They are approximately 20 pounds as of 17 April 2009.

MR. CURIOSITY

Estimated Date of Birth:  8 February 2009

What breed are we?  Your guess is as good as ours!  We have no idea what these adorable puppies are mixed with.  We only know they were thrown in a river and left to drown. Fortunately, a good Samaritan who witnessed this horrific scene was able to rescue them from the flowing river in time to save their lives!  However, he dropped them off in someone else's driveway!  Thankfully they are safe now but they all need homes of their own!  These puppies have endured to much in the past few weeks but they are happy, healthy, and eager to please!

LOKI

Date of Birth:  22 November 2007

Lokie is a great dog who was adopted out as a pup and then returned when her owners had to move.  They brought her back with intentions of coming back for her but it has been 5 months now and we don't hear a word from them.  Poor Loki just spent 5 months at the shelter when she could have been searching for a new home.  She loves people and is really sweet and friendly.

JAKE

Estimated Date of Birth:  12 August 2008

Jake is a great dog!  He is friendly, playful, and very sweet.  He gets along well with other dogs and is great with children.  He was born at Tess' K9 Rescue and was adopted at a very early age but recently returned when the family discovered they do not have the time for him that he needs.  He is very affectionate and loves to be around people.  His Mom is up for adoption as well through Tess' K9 Rescue.  Her name is Gypsy and you can see her below.

These puppies came to our shelter when they were just about a week old.  They didn't even have their eyes open yet.  Unfortunately, their Mom was killed and so they all had to be bottle fed until they could eat on their own.  They are all doing great and have wonderful personalities!  They have had their first sets of shots and are ready for their new homes!

CASSIDY

CASSIDY – Catahoula – Spayed

Estimated Date of Birth:  19 May 1999

Hi, my name is Cassidy.  I am a sweet sweet dog.  I am calm and very quiet, I haven’t barked one time since I was dropped off at the shelter.  I am sad and in mourning because my family is moving to California where no dogs are allowed; or at least no dogs who dig.  I am a digger when left outside in the yard.  I long to be with you and am heartbroken without my two little girls I lived with for the past 5 years.  I loved them dearly and they loved me too.  They were crying their eyes out when Mom dropped me off at the shelter.  Mom says I can’t stay in the house because I dribble a little bit when I get excited.  I don’t mean to but I just get happy to see you when you come home.  I am so sad and confused and even though they are good to me at the shelter, and this isn’t a bad place to be, I am longing for my home.  I wasn’t cut out for shelter life.  I heard the shelter manager tell my Mom that I wouldn't be easy to find a home for people people don't want older dogs but we need love too.  I have been a loyal and faithful dog all my life, I deserve a chance.  Do you have room in your home and your heart for me?

PURDY

Estimated Date of Birth:  7 January 20008

Purdy was found abandoned in the country.  She was hungry, thirsty and very thin.  In just a few short weeks, she has come a long way and looks great!  She has a beautiful shiny coat, and as you can tell, is now being well fed!  She is a lover, gets along well with others, and loves to play.  She also enjoys a good tummy rub and lots of love and kisses!  She is very active and has a lot of energy to burn!

PRANCER

PRANCER – Gordon Setter/Lab Mix - Scheduled for Neuter

Estimated Date of Birth:  5 July 2006

I got the name Prancer because of my long legs and my happy prancing around. I was found on the side of the highway. I was so friendly and sweet, the lady who found me at first thought I was lost. After trying to find my family with no success, I was brought to a foster home. I got along great with the other dogs there and had a lot of fun meeting the children. I love to have my belly rubbed and my favorite thing to do is play fetch with a tennis ball. I have been learning how to walk on a leash and other commands such as sit and stay.  I am healthy and heartworm free. I am such an outgoing dog with a fascinating personality. I can’t wait for you to meet me and see how friendly and funny I am.  I know you will fall in love with me and want to take me home.

KENNEDY

KENNEDY – Shepherd Mix Male - Neutered

Estimated Date of Birth:  7 April 2008

Kennedy is a great little puppy!  He gets along really well with other dogs, is very people oriented, and even comes when you whistle!  He is living indoors in a foster home and learning house training.  He is a calm and relaxed puppy who will make a great friend for someone! He isn't going to be a very big dog so we are not sure what he is mixed with but anyone who meets this sweet little guy will just fall in love!

TIGER

of Spicewood TX

TIGER – Pit Mix – Neutered

Estimated Date of Birth:  27 June 2007

My almond eyes and constantly wagging tail will make you fall in love instantly.  I am a gentle giant, who loves to cuddle and lay beside you on your pillow at night to sleep.  I love to run around and play outside for hours, or spend all day paddling at Barton Creek.  I am great with children and dogs of all sizes, but I do tend to intimidate cats!  I get really excited though to meet most new people, and other animals so a proper introduction distance is required.  I am scared of the dark, cautious around males, and will bark at anything that moves or might listen, even the wind!  So I would be a great watch dog for you!  I mainly just like to hear my own voice but will definitely alert you when a stranger comes to the door!  I am a great dog!  I am still in the puppy mode so I do like to chew on things but I am fully crate trained and house broken.  I would love to stay inside the house with you during the night and protect you from harm but I also love to have a big back yard to run around in.  Oh and did I tell you I LOVE to play in the water hose??!!  Would you like to be my new friend?

EMERALD

Date of Birth:  22 November 2007

Emerald is an adorable mixed breed girl with stunning eyes. She is a medium size, only weighs about 30 pounds. She was the runt of the litter. 

Emerald was adopted and returned because it  was discovered that she was born with a genetic defect.  She has no ball and sockets in her hips.  She went to our vet for an  evaluation.  She is in no pain and plays and runs like a normal dog.  She may, at some point in her life, require a surgery, but for now, it was recommended to wait.   Some dogs who are born with this condition live their entire lives pain free without surgery.  She isn't on any medication and is a happy go lucky dog.  

She lived indoors in her first home so she has had some house training. She loves to play and is a very sweet and gentle dog. 

GOTEE "REIN"

GOTEE "AKA REIN" - Chocolate Lab - Neutered

Gotee is looking for a special home with someone who will love him and care for him as he would you, unconditionally.  Although Gotee is expected to live a normal life span, he has been diagnosed with adisson's disease and requires monthly medication.  He also has inoperable hip dysplasia so you can see he needs a special home.  Despite his medical issues, he is full of life and he isn't letting it get him down!  He such a great dog and for someone who is willing to provide him with the care he needs and deserves, you will get an exceptional companion in return!

PATCHES

JUNE

Sponsored by Carolyn Word

of Burnet TX

Estimated Date of Birth:  24 December 2002

June is a wonderful little Terrier-mix dog.  She has a very sweet disposition. Although she is playful, she is also very well mannered and well behaved.  She is not a jumper or a barker and she would make a great little house companion!

"Junie" enjoys her doggy roommate at the shelter and they have fun barking at the horses when they get too rowdy, but other than that, she's mostly a calm, quiet girl.  We don't know how Junie would be with small kids or cats or if she was ever housetrained.

She's a delightful little girl and just the right size to fit into any family.  She would probably do okay as an apartment dog too as long as she could go along on the next move!  Junie is really hoping to find a forever home and become an integral part of the family!

CHE Z

Estimated Date of Birth:  27 January 2008

What kind of dog am I?  A loving, sweet, and gentle kind!  I was dumped off at a McDonalds on Loop 1604.  I was there for a month and one day a bunch of kids were throwing rocks and things at me.  That made me feel really sad.  But a nice man who was eating a cheeseburger witnessed it all and was able to save me before I got hurt.  The tech at the vet named me Che Z since my savior was eating a cheeseburger when he saw me!  He said he just couldn't resist that look in my eyes.  I hope to find a home as kind and loving as me :)

DRIVEBY

Estimated Date of Birth:  7 April 2007

My name is Driveby because when I was a puppy I was sitting on the side of the road with a "free" sign and someone driving by picked me up.  They kept me for awhile and then no longer wanted me and turned me over to the shelter.  I was adopted for awhile and had my own home but it wasn't long before they took me back to the shelter, this time with a hurt leg..

I don't know why nobody wants me, I am really a great dog and am good with other dogs as well as people and children. I HATE cats though!!  I don't know why but I have to be honest with you!

I am not a cow dog.  I would rather sit on the front porch and be a guard dog than tend to livestock.

I love to get a lot of attention and am definitely a people orientated dog. I just know someone out there will love me unconditionally and I will find my forever home soon.

SLICK

SLY

SLICK & SLY – Hound Mixes - Neutered

Estimated Date of Birth:  30 November 2007

ZUNI

ZUNI - Rottweiler, Shepherd Mix - Spayed

Estimated Date of Birth:  4 November 2005

I am a dog of many hats. I love people and I love to be in and around water. I know many commands including "sit" and "kennel up." I come when called and I love chasing doves. My foster mommy took me in because I showed up and wouldn't take "no" for an answer. But I had nowhere else to go and several trucks almost hit me before she let me in the yard. My foster parents are sad because they can't keep me. Even though they don't want to, they have to keep me locked in a kennel most of the time. There's another dog around here who is an alpha dog and she doesn't want me around. But she's blind and deaf, so it’s hard for her to understand me. I'm also an alpha dog and should be in a home where I can be the boss. I'm great fun and I love to play. If you give me a chance, I would love to become a part of your family!

TIGEREYE

TIGEREYE - Shepherd/Lab Mix - Neutered

Date of Birth:  22 November 2007

This gem loves to play in the water hose and horse around with his brother. He has a sweet and playful temperament. He will be medium to large as an adult.

If you are ready for the joys and challenges of puppyhood and have time for the extra care puppies need as far as housetraining, socializing, and obedience training, etc., we look forward to hearing from you.

Tigereye is current on age appropriate vaccinations and will be neutered prior to finalizing adoption.

Estimated Date of Birth:  22 May 2006

Candy is a friendly, sweet dog.  She is adorable, loves to give kisses, and is full of life.  She has a friendly, people loving temperament and will make a nice family companion.

She was yet another "country dumpee" who shortly thereafter had 8 pups.  She's been a great mom and still continues to look after her 4 remaining pups.

Candy is a sweet dog with lots of love to give and would be a great dog for someone willing to love her back!

SHEBA

Estimated Date of Birth:  16 April 2006

Sheba has a sweet face to match her sweet personality.  She loves everyone (dogs and people) and could probably learn to live with cats.

She is not really interested in fetching but loves playing with the other dogs.  She has a hip injury from being dumped as a puppy- one rear leg is shorter than the other so, she occasionally carries it.

She is house trained and crate trained.  She loves having her neck scratched.  Sheba is just a wonderful dog and anyone would be lucky to have her.

DAPPER DAN

Estimated Date of Birth:  9 December 2005

Danny loves to play with people and will fetch.  He also likes to boss his doggy sister around and play rough.

He gets along with other dogs but would be best paired with a less dominant dog.  He likes being on the higher end of the pecking order.

Danny knows basic commands and is a sweet, friendly boy.  He is crate trained but not house trained.  He is very smart, though, and would pick it up quickly if given the opportunity.

PENNI

Estimated Date of Birth:  22 January 2006

Penni is a great dog who was found at an apartment complex in San Antonio with Codi.  After 2 months of searching for owners, no luck was found.  It's hard to imagine why anyone would have abandoned Penni, she is a wonderful companion!  She is good with other dogs, great with children, and house trained.  She is really sweet dog and would make a great friend for you!  She loves to curl up on the couch and watch tv or just hang out in the house with you.  She really enjoys people and is a very loveable dog!

CODI

Estimated Date of Birth:  22 January 2005

Codi is a great dog who was found at an apartment complex in San Antonio with Penni.  After 2 months of searching for owners, no luck was found.  Codi is awesome and it's hard to imagine why anyone wouldn't want her.  She is good with other dogs, great with children, and house trained.  She is a sweet dog!  Codi was heartworm positive when she came to us but she has been treated and has a clean bill of health!  Now all she needs is a home where she will be loved as much as she will love you!

BRIANA

Estimated Date of Birth:  10 October 2005

SPECIAL NEEDS.  Briana came to the shelter as a puppy with her siblings, many of whom still reside at the shelter.  This litter was really sick when they came to the shelter and it took months to get them healthy and ready to go to their new homes.  By this time, they had not been socialized or exposed beyond their "sheltered" life.  While several of Briana’s siblings are shy, but curious about meeting new people, Briana is exceptionally shy and unsure.

She loves and trusts her caretaker, but she has "special needs" that she will require a special home with a patient adult(s) willing to work with her and slowly expose her to new things.  She is shy by nature and not used to all the activity and stimulus of the big, outside world she has never known.

Briana relies on and seeks comfort in her sister and roommate, Krystal.  Briana is a beautiful girl whose father is a purebred German Shepherd.  She is good with other dogs but has never been around cats or children.

Briana will prefer a quieter type of household without a lot of traffic, and a small circle of friends.  She needs a home with someone experienced with dog behavior who understands, accepts, and honors her limitations.  A patient person with a soft tone and touch, who doesn't expect a lot out of her, but wants an easy companion to hang out with at home, will be the best match for bringing out all Briana can offer.  She would probably be easy to crate train and find comfort in a crate as being her safe place.  No children for Briana.

STANLEY

STANLEY - Lab Mix - Neutered

Estimated Date of Birth:  25 January 2007

I am Stanley and I was born at the vet clinic with my siblings after our Mom (Pumpkin) was dumped there before giving birth.  I have had a rough life, I am a parvo survivor though and very thankful to the shelter for saving my life!   Prior to coming to the shelter, I didn't have any contact with humans.  All I know is my caregiver, so I am a little shy when I first meet you.  I really depend on my brother, Indigo, to help lead the way for me.  We love to play together and get along really well with each other.

If you are willing to work me with, and help me overcome my shyness, I could be a great friend to you.

ANGEL

Estimated Date of Birth:  27 November 2003

I am Angel, a predominately black heeler mix female who is friendly, energetic, and playful.  I get along great with other dogs and love to play but I do tend to take their food so need to be fed separately.  I currently board with Mr. Tetco, who I adore, but my caretaker sits in our room between us while we eat; otherwise, Mr. Tetco would go hungry.  I am  wonderful with kids although I haven't been around them since coming to the shelter.  I am very smart and a fast learner.  I am highly intelligent; I was paper trained in just 2 days!  I am the type of dog who bonds really fast to my human companions and will follow you anywhere for attention.  I am extremely sweet and love to give kisses.  I grew up around cats and livestock but have probably forgotten what that was all about so I would need a home with no other animals, besides dogs that is!

LEO

Estimated Date of Birth:  19 December 2001

Hi, my name is Leo and I am a unique dog.  I do extremely well with cats but not so well with other dogs!!  I am choosy about my friends and do enjoy playing with others at times but I normally prefer to be left alone.  I have been completely house trained and will stay inside all day without chewing on a thing I shouldn't be chewing on!  I love to go for walks on the beach, hiking in the parks, and just plain out lounging around.  I am  great in the car and have had some basic obedience training.  I am very food aggressive though, with both animals and humans. As long as you don't come near my food when I am eating, I am fine, but if you stick your hands in my food bowl, or try to pet me while I am eating, I will definitely ask you to back off!

I need an experienced dog handler who understands mood swings and is willing to learn my ways and give me a chance in life.  I can be very sweet and I love to give hugs and kisses, but on my terms only.  I can be quite moody but would be a great friend to someone willing to help me.  I would also make a great guard dog.

Barney seeks comfort and looks after his brother, Mickey Boo. Barney is a sweet-faced boy whose father is a purebred German Shepherd.  He is good with other dogs and could probably learn to live with cats.

Barney will prefer a quieter type of household without a lot of traffic, and a small circle of friends.  He needs a home with someone experienced with dog behavior who understands, accepts, and honors his limitations.  A patient person with a soft tone and touch, who doesn't expect a lot out of him, but wants an easy companion to hang out with at home, will be the best match for bringing out all Barney can offer.

KAILANI

KAILANI - German Shepherd Mix - Spayed

Estimated Date of Birth:  10 October 2005

CUTE KAILANI!  Kailani came to the shelter as a puppy with her littermates.  Her Dad is a purebred GSD.  She is a little timid meeting new people but attentive, curious, and eager to join in the fun.

Kailani is a playful dog who enjoys the company of her shelter roommate, Kaitlin.  She has grown up around other dogs, but since she has grown up in the shelter, she hasn't had the opportunity to explore all the things the big, outside world has to offer.  Thus, she will require a home willing to work with her and slowly show her the ropes of learning new things, home manners, training, and socializing.

As you can see from her photo, her doghouse is her safe place when meeting new people, but she is right there wanting some attention.  Because she hasn't been around kids and is still a youngster at heart, she will be best in an adults only home with kind-natured people who have time to spend with her and fine-tune all the best she has to offer!

Please consider giving this cutie a chance!

LITTLE ANGEL

LITTLE ANGEL – German Shepherd/Yellow Lab Mix - Spayed

Estimated Date of Birth:  12 October 2005

ANGEL SMILES 4 U.  Angel is a very sweet, pretty golden/red coated girl.  She was a little shy not having been exposed to much outside of her shelter upbringing, but she has warmed up quickly and has a nice, easy-going, friendly temperament.

She really seems to love her sister and roommate, Hailey, and would enjoy a home with another doggy companion.  Angel is a darling girl just waiting for that kind-hearted person to come along and make her a part of a home and family.  She has not grown up around kids, so we recommend only homes with older, dog-friendly kids.  She may be okay with cats, but again, we've only seen her around other dogs, which she loves. :)

Angel is ready to learn about living life as a family, house-pet, and in return, you will have a sweet Angel to watch over you.

HAILEY

HAILEY – German Shepherd/Yellow Lab Mix - Spayed

Estimated Date of Birth:  12 October 2005

HAILEY has such a cute face with her expressive eyes and wrinkled brow.  She is really a beauty with her regal red, sleek coat too.  Her dad is a purebred German Shepherd.  Hailey enjoys spending time with her sister and roommate, Angel.  She's pretty calm natured, and they like laying close together and watching the birds fly by.

As comfortable as lounging around on the doghouse is, Hailey would really like to have a chance at becoming an integral family member in a real house and home.  She is a little timid not having been exposed to much outside of her shelter upbringing, but she warms up quickly and has a friendly temperament.  She would probably enjoy a home where she could have another doggy friend too.

Since Hailey hasn't been around kids, we prefer a home with no kids or older dog-savvy kids.  Miss Hailey is still waiting for that easy-going, kind-hearted person(s) to come along and take the time to make her a part of a home and family.  She might be a good watch dog in return for you too!

DAISY & BAILEY

DAISY & BAILEY – Lab Mixes – Spayed

Estimated Date of Birth:  1 June 2005

Hello, we are Daisy & Bailey and are identical twins!  It's pretty hard to tell us apart until you get to know us.  We are really sweet and loving and will be great dogs for kids or anyone who is willing to love us back!

The family who owned the property where we were dumped in the country was kind enough to take us in and care for us until we were old enough to start wandering off.  Unfortunately, they didn't have a fence to keep us safe at home so that's when they asked the shelter to take us in.

We are both nice, laid back, and easy to please, all we want is a little love and TLC!

HOLLEY

Alice & Jim Jackson

HOLLEY – Pit Mix – Spayed

Estimated Date of Birth:  7 August 2004

HOLLEY SWEETNESS!  Sweet, submissive, friendly seeks same.  Holley is a kind-hearted, waggy girl who gets along great with other dogs and people.

She is looking for a loving family to call her own.  She can climb over a 5 foot fence though, so she needs a good secure and tall fence!  She may enjoy the companionship of another easy going dog.

Holley had some skin issues when she came and spent some time at the vet's office who reported that she was never aggressive or food sensitive, just sweet, sweet, sweet and good with everyone, kids included.

The vet found no reason for the skin problems, and they did clear up, but it may be that her skin is sensitive to the sun or allergy prone.

TWINKIE

TWINKIE - Plott Hound/Lab Mix - Spayed

Estimated Date of Birth:  22 May 2004

Hi!  I am Twinkie.  I was adopted as a puppy and returned a year later when I grew bigger than my owners anticipated.  Nobody really knows what breed I am but I am a beautiful brindle and have a soft, shiny coat.

I get along well with other dogs but still have a lot of puppy in me.  I love to lay on the floor and have my belly rubbed!  I love people but am very protective of my domain and will alert when strangers approach.

No kids under 10 for Twinkie and no cats.

PUMPKIN

Estimated Date of Birth:  25 March 2006

Pumpkin is such a pretty girl with her deep, rich, tri-colored coat and beautiful round, expressive "Beagle" looking eyes.  We think Pumpkin is a Doberman mixed possibly with some type of hound.  Pumpkin is a quiet, mostly laid back kind of dog.

Pumpkin and her sister, Peanut, were turned into the vet's office to be euthanized when they were just youngsters because they had gotten pregnant when their owners did not spay them nor want them anymore.

No telling what their life was like back then, but it must not have been "all that," and Pumpkin doesn't like to talk about it!  Pumpkin is very shy and nervous about new things and people.

Pumpkin is very sweet and trusting with her caretaker, but she retreats to the safety of her dog house when visitors approach.  This pretty girl would like to have a loving, forever home with a family of her own, something she's never had.  But, she likes a small circle of friends and will need a quiet, low-traffic, adults-only home.  A special, patient, kind-hearted person(s) willing to go slow and provide encouragement to build her self-esteem, confidence, and trust will bring out the best in Pumpkin.

Pumpkin should be easy to crate-train and will likely find comfort in her crate as being her safe place.

PEANUT

Estimated Date of Birth:  25 March 2006

Peanut is a pretty black and tan Doberman mix who enjoys spending time with her sister, Pumpkin, and talking in her special way with her people friends.  Peanut is a quiet, mostly laid back kind of dog.

Peanut and her sister, Pumpkin, were turned into the vet's office to be euthanized when they were just youngsters because they had gotten pregnant when their owners did not spay them nor want them anymore.

No telling what their life was like back then, but it must not have been "all that," as they don't like to talk about it!  Peanut is very sweet and trusting with her caretaker, but quite shy about new things and people.

MISSY

Estimated Date of Birth:  14 February 2006

Our little Missy is not very prissy.  She enjoys a nice walk or a jog, but would sleep on your couch like a log.  Missy has been great with children of all sizes and loves a good treat.

Missy likes other dogs, but she is sensitive about her food and doesn't care to share even a nibble of kibble.

Missy is a sweet and affectionate dog who was found tied to a dumpster in Sutherland Springs.  She had a note attached around her neck that said "please help me, I'm hungry and need a home!"

Luckily someone found Missy, so she could be fed!  Now, she just needs a loving, forever home!

DIAMOND & PEPPER

Estimated Date of Birth: 10 July 2001

Hi, my name is Diamond.  I am energetic and have a very sweet personality.  My beautiful black coat shines in the sun just like a Diamond!  I love to play with my sister Pepper.  I enjoy the water and ride well in the car.  My tail goes a mile a minute when I see our shelter manager come home and I love greeting visitors.  I enjoy the outdoors on nice days.

My sister Pepper is a carbon copy of me.  We are not aggressive by any means.  We are loving and fun dogs who also happen to be sisters who really enjoy each others company and are looking for a home where we can stay together.  You see, all of our siblings were adopted when we were just 6 weeks old and my sister and I have been together ever since so we have become inseparable.

We have lots of love to offer to anyone willing to make us part of their family!

STACY

 DAYTONA

Estimated Date of Birth:  6 February 2007

Stacy and Daytona were adopted out as out as young puppies and then returned a year later when their owners had to move away.

Both are fairly quiet, laid back dogs for still being such youngsters.  Stacy is very fond of her brother and follows his lead.  They are very close and would prefer to stay together.

Stacy and Daytona are house-trained and miss being indoors with their humans, so they need to find a new home where they can continue living inside getting lots of TLC. They are very sweet, well behaved, and happy loving dogs.

SUNSHINE

SUNSHINE – Lab/Spaniel Mix - Spayed

Estimated Date of Birth:  27 June 2004

Sunshine is a really sweet dog and has lots of love to give.  She is a little shy when she first meets you but it doesn't take long for her to become friends.  She loves being around other dogs and has lots of fun playing and running around the yard.

She isn’t a very big dog but as you can tell she has a great appetite!  She is quiet, laid back, pretty mellow.  She is actually a sister to Ebony but she doesn’t have her underbite!

Sunshine would make a great house companion for someone with a quieter life style!

KAITLAN

Estimated Date of Birth:  29 August 2005

Kaitlin is a very sweet dog who was thrown out with the trash on Loop 1604 near Floresville, Texas.  She was seen sitting in the same place for 3 days waiting on that horrible person who dumped her to come back for her.  She was a little nervous when we first picked her up but now she is very happy and thankful for food, water, and any attention we can give her.  She is a medium size dog with a huge heart!!

Kaitlan gets along well with the dogs at the shelter.  She hasn’t been around kids or cats so we don’t know how she would respond to them.  She is gentle, and easy going though!

BEAU

Estimated Date of Birth:  16 December 2004

Beau is a handsome red and white Border Collie who was abandoned on a country road.  Beau is good with other dogs.  He is attentive to people and has a pleasant, friendly personality.  He likes to give hugs and kisses.  Beau is currently living in an outdoor shelter/kennel environment, so we do not know if he is housetrained.

He is an active, intelligent boy, typical of the breed, and will require a home that is able to provide him with adequate exercise and mental stimulation. Please read more about Border Collies: http://www.bcrescuetexas.org/aboutbc.htm

BONNIE

Estimated Date of Birth:  31 October 1999

Don't let my gray hair fool you. I still have a lot of life and love to give but without being high maintenance. True, I'm not the party girl I once was, but that's a good thing, because now I'm mature and settled. I like the occasional romp in the sun, but I'm mostly looking for some laid back Golden years and human companionship. I get along with other dogs too.

Right now, I live in an outdoor shelter but would so love to be curled up in the house by your side. We could take occasional walks, and maybe share a snack every now and then. I'm a nice, quiet girl, but I am loyal and would let you know when a stranger is lurking around outside.

If you have a place in your heart and home for me, I sure would love to share my sweet smile with you and hang out in the a/c chatting about the wild ways of our youth.

Bonnie is spayed and current on vaccinations and heartworm prevention. She has no known health issues.

TREVOR

TREVOR – Border Colllie/Lab – Neutered

Estimated Date of Birth:  9 August 2003

TREVOR is a lively, bubbly, eager boy looking for an active home. He is so handsome with his unique gray/blue coat.

Trevor has a very friendly, life-loving temperament and always greets you with a smile.  He enjoys sitting on people's laps.  Anything for a little attention!  He also enjoys other dogs.

Trevor is outgoing and probably up for most any adventure.  He is intelligent and waiting eagerly to show someone how quickly he can learn, but he hasn't had the opportunity yet, so he's hoping to find a home with people who will take him to obedience training and work with him on house training and manners.  Trevor would probably make an excellent jogging pawtner once he has work on his leash walking.

Border Collie's are active, intelligent, quick learners, and require adequate exercise and mental stimulation. Please read more about Border Collies: http://www.bcrescuetexas.org/aboutbc.htm

Trevor is looking for a home without cats and kids under 10 years of age due to his exuberant nature.

EBONY

Estimated Date of Birth:  27 June 2004

Do you like funny, Pug looking faces?  That's me.  No one really knows what breed mixes I am, but I have one of those lovable special faces and an under bite that makes me look like I'm smiling at you all the time.

I have a smiley, let's-have-some-fun personality too.  I am sweet and friendly and love to play with other dogs.  I've mostly grown up in the shelter environment, but I would be excited to find a family who could show me some fun new stuff!  I'm still young and eager to learn.

If you take the time to show me about home manners and family life, I'll shower you with love and humor you with my many silly facial expressions.

LACY

Estimated Date of Birth:  14 February 2006

LACEY IS LIVELY!  Lacy is a bit of a fireball - very enthusiastic and friendly - a little overly friendly for young kids as she might knock them down with her gusto.

She would be good for an 8 year old boy; they could get into mischief together. :)  Lacy is always smiling and ready for the next adventure life has to offer.

Lacy is accustomed to living outdoors and would be okay as an outdoor dog with a securely fenced yard as long as she got plenty of human attention and perhaps had another canine companion to play with.  Of course, she would love someone to take the time to house train her and spend time teaching her home manners so she could be inside with her people.

Lacy has a marble color and tone to her coat which is unique.  She thrives on human attention and would sell her own soul for a cookie and a hug.  Then again, wouldn't we all?!

TIGER

TIGER – Shepherd/Lab Mix – Neutered

Estimated Date of Birth:  23 November 2005

TIGER is like Tony the Tiger used to say, "Greeeaat for the heart!"  He is a very smiley and wiggly fellow.  He is one compact muscle - he doesn't wag is tail, he wags his whole body!  You know what they say about those waggers.  They all have happy endings, and we are hopeful Tiger will too!

Tiger loves other dogs, children, and is an awesome people dog.  He loves to run and roughhouse with his dog friends, but he also has a softer side too.

He is a great size - not too small, not too big - just right, and he will make a great family companion whether at the lake or snoozing on the porch or sofa with this pals.

LUCY LOU

Estimated Date of Birth:  20 March 2006

Lucy is a compact Lab mix with a dynamic personality who is eager to please and very trainable.

She has a lot of energy and would make a good jogging pawtner.  She loves to run and has been helpful in adding a race track to her foster mom's dog yard.  Lucy prefers the boy dogs and the bigger the better; she said size is not an object.

She has been around kids and is no threat, but she does tend to jump up for hugs.  Not that this is a bad thing, as the world could always use some more huggers, but she might be too overwhelming for the little kiddos at this time.

BONNY

Estimated Date of Birth:  30 January 2004

Bonny is a beautiful German Short Hair Pointer mix, even though everyone says she looks like a Lab!  Bonny is a very active, energetic, lively dog who will require plenty of exercise.  She is also very friendly and gets along well with everyone.

Bonny has the agility and ability to be a rowdy girl, however, I can also see her curled up in front of a fireplace.  She is not housebroken to our knowledge, but has great potential of being an inside/outside dog as she is a quick study who is highly trainable and eager to learn.

Bonny's color makes her unique to look at and her bubbly personality makes her easy to love. She is great with kids of all ages, good w/ other dogs, and cats unknown.

ROWDY

Estimated Date of Birth:  20 January 2006

Rowdy was surrendered to the shelter when his owner moved and could not take him.  He was an indoor/outdoor dog, good with other dogs, but had not been around cats.

Rowdy lives up to his name and has an active, party boy personality.  He's up for some good adventures, if you are!  Rowdy knows some basic commands such as "sit."  He loves playing in the water and being sprayed with the water hose.

Rowdy will require an active family who can meet his exercise needs and a secure fenced yard.  We do not know how he is around kids.  He'd probably be okay, but may overwhelm little ones.

MR. TETCO

MR. TETCO – English Setter/Aussie/German Shepherd Mix - Neutered

Estimated Date of Birth:  13 May 2003

LET's GO TETCO!  Mr. Tetco is a beautiful, fun-loving, youngster at heart with a zest for life who is just waiting to show you how much he can learn.  He hasn't had the opportunity for any training yet, but he is ready and willing!

When you look at his face with his stunningly beautiful, attentive eyes and his friendly, wiggly personality, you can't help but see all the joy and love he has to give!  We couldn't help but get a little video clip of his excited, silly self during our "photo shoot."  He obviously likes his water bucket and would probably enjoy a swim too!

Mr. Tetco is looking for an active home who will work on obedience and housetraining and positive reinforcement to bring out all the best we (and he) know he can be.

He gets along well with other dogs and likes to play.  We've not seen him around kids.  He would probably be okay with older kids, but is a little exuberant for small children as well as cats at this time.

“Tet" was rescued as a youngster from the TETCO station and has been waiting and hoping ever since that his forever home out there will find him!  Is it you?

COMET

ADOPTION PENDING!

Estimated Date of Birth:  12 October 2005

Comet is a bit of a gentle giant.  He's quite a big boy with possibly some Anatolian Shepherd in his heritage.  He enjoys playing with his dog friends, but has a calm, laid back demeanor too.

Comet was one of a rescued litter of pups, and has grown up in an outdoor/shelter environment without much exposure or socialization otherwise.  He is a little shy, yet curious, and warms up quickly.  He's not too hyper and has a nice, moderate activity level.

Comet enjoys attention, being petted, and is looking for a home willing to housetrain him, patiently broaden his horizons, and make him part of the family.

Comet has not been around kids, so a home with no young children will be best.

SAMANTHA

Estimated Date of Birth:  10 February 2000

Samantha is a cute little "granny" looking dog.  She's had a hard life at the hands of humans, and while she's not really a "scaredy cat," she just has to make sure she can trust you before offering up all the love she has to give.  You can see by her photos that she is a sweet soul with a big heart, though, and would be a loyal friend.

She gets along with her doggy roommate at the shelter and other dogs who don't get in her business.  She's too sophisticated for a lot of high action, roughhousing, and drama.  A quiet, adults only, home with kind, patient companionship is all she asks for, and she will keep you company in return.

GURLIE

Estimated Date of Birth:  10 August 2006

Gurlie is a great dog who loves people!  She is house trained, rides well in the car, loves to go for walks, and is happy just being around people!  She is gentle, obedient, well behaved and an all around love bug.

Her only downfall is that she does not like other animals and needs a home where she can be the only dog and not have to share her attention with anyone but you.  She will do fine with older children and will need a secure fenced yard and responsible guardian.

JUSTIN

SPONSORED BY CAREY, DAVE, HARLEY, AND GRETZY BULKLEY!

ADOPTION PENDING!

JUSTIN - Lab Mix - Neutered

Estimated Date of Birth:  18 September 2004

Justin is a beautiful, thick Lab mix boy with one of those big round heads you just want to hug.  He has some pretty tan brindle markings on his legs and is overall just a handsome, nice fellow with loving eyes and a sweet smile

Justin and his littermates were playing in the middle of a busy road when they were rescued as pups.  Even though Justin has primarily grown up in an outdoor shelter environment and not been exposed or socialized much otherwise, he has a confident, friendly, well-adjusted personality, and should fit nicely into a home willing to housetrain him and show him the ropes of family life.

He is very kind and gentle.  He is not hyper and doesn't jump on you for attention.  He gets along well with other dogs.

FURRY

FURRY – Black Lab/ Border Colllie Mix – Neutered

Estimated Date of Birth:  15 May 2004

Furry is still waiting for his own home!  He was part of a litter brought to the vet clinic at 5 days of age with no mom.  The kind, caring office manager bottle-fed them all until they were able to eat on their own and find new homes.

Furry is more docile and laid back than your typical Border Collie.  He's just a good-ole-boy still hopeful that sweet, black dogs do find loving homes!  Furry is gentle, kind, great with other dogs, and he LOVES to play in the water!!  Whether it be his water bucket, or the water hose, he can easily be entertained for hours!

He would love to meet you, and show you what a nice boy he is and all he has to offer.

JOEY

Estimated Date of Birth:  2 August 2000

My name is Joey and I am absolutely adorable!  I have such a sweet personality that you just got to love!  When I walk really fast, or am running in the yard, I have an unusually cute “skip” about me that really tickles you to watch!  I am easy going and get along great with other dogs.  I am a sweet, mellow, and laid back dog with a wonderful disposition.

HOLLIE

Estimated Date of Birth:  30 September 1999

HOLLIE IS WONDERFUL. We don't know for sure what breed mixes Hollie is, but she has a longish, full black coat and a very sweet, bubbly, kind, people loving personality like that of a Retriever or Aussie. She's quiet, laid back, easy going, and most content when hanging out with her people doing whatever they're doing. She loves her people!

Hollie gets along great with other dogs and enjoys their company. She has also lived with a cat in the past, so she'd probably be fine with a dog savvy cat.

When left alone in the yard for extended periods in the past, Hollie has been known to dig out in search of companionship and her people, so she may enjoy the company of another dog in her new home and should be supervised initially.

Hollie is housetrained, well mannered, and will make an easy, loving addition to most any family.

ROMEO

ADOPTION PENDING!

ROMEO - Catahola/Lab - Neutered

Estimated Date of Birth:  27 January 2006

ROMEO SEEKS JULIET!  Romeo is a handsome lover looking for a home to love him back.  He gets along well with other dogs and loves people.

Romeo is still a fun-loving, energetic, youngster at heart, so he will enjoy getting some training in obedience and home manners.  He would probably like to have another dog to play with since he gets bored easily.  Romeo is gentle and kind; however we have not seen him around children or cats.  We do not think children will be a problem due to his friendly demeanor but a home without cats might be best.

SAWYER

SAWYER - Hound/Heeler Mix - Neutered

Estimated Date of Birth:  28 November 2004

Sawyer is a smart, very active dog who likes to play fetch, although he forgets the "return" part!  He's the type that will do best in an active home with someone who wants a jogging pawtner or to do agility, frisbee, or some type of doggy sport to keep this active guy's mind and body busy.

Sawyer is a very confident, outgoing dog who will do best with a strong leader willing to work on his obedience training and focus.

Sawyer gets along with the other dogs in his kennel but he can be a little food aggressive when sharing with others.  He has not been around kid or cats, but would be too exuberant in nature for them at this time.

To see more photos, click here:   Photo 1     Photo 2    Photo 3

MINNIE

MINNIE - German Shepherd/Catahoula Mix - Spayed

Estimated Date of Birth:  12 February 2005

Minnie was part of a litter that came to the shelter as pups.  She is a very pretty dog whose mother was a purebred German Shepherd Dog, and we believe the father was a Catahoula.

Minnie enjoys the companionship of other dogs, is a little shy, but friendly with people, and has a pleasant personality.  She would like to get out of the shelter environment and into a home with people who have time and interest in making her a valued family member.

She will need a fenced yard, house training, and basic obedience training as she has been housed in an outdoor shelter environment to date.  She has not been around kids, so we are seeking a home with no kids under 10 years of age.  We do not know how Minnie would be with cats.

MAX

Estimated Date of Birth:  1 June 2005

Max is a Lab mix boy who was found dumped in the country with his littermates when they were pups.  He's grown up in an outdoor shelter/kennel environment, but he has a nice, gentle personality and should be able to integrate into a family home if someone is willing to work with him and give him a chance.

Max is a little bow legged in the back but his vet said it isn't a problem, and doesn't appear to cause pain.  Max enjoys other dogs and likes to play with his roommate Bonnie, an older Lab mix. So far, Max has loved everyone he's ever met.

ROCCO

Estimated Date of Birth:  30 September 2003

Rocco is ready to roll! He has the cutest facial expressions with his intent round eyes! Rocco loves to dunk his whole muzzle in his water bucket and would probably love a good swim!

Rocco was a backyard dog when he was left behind by his sorry people who moved and left him in his yard with 4 ft. weeds and no food or water. Despite this, Rocco is still a fun-loving, Lab boy!

Rocco is very friendly and gets along well with other dogs. He is easy going and submissive. Rocco still lives outdoors in the shelter environment but would SO love to have a true forever family to call his own!

He likes to talk to you when asking for attention. He would make a very loyal companion and watch dog. This is a nice and handsome boy who just needs someone to spend some time with him fine-tuning the skills he never had a chance to work on.

ABBEY

Estimated Date of Birth:  6 October 2001

AGILE ABBEY!  Abbey has the black & tan markings of a German Shepherd or Doberman, but she also has a certain sleekness to her conformation that suggests Greyhound or a sight hound of some sort. She is also very athletic and agile.

Abbey is a playful and fun.  She has already been through two obedience training programs and was at the top of her class.  She learned agility and thought that was great fun.  Abbey is smart and attentive and loves training sessions.  She wanted to show off her "standing dance for a treat" trick during her photo shoot. Check out her video clip. Click here!

Abbey may do best as an only dog. She has enjoyed the company of other dogs her same size or larger who don't mind rough housing, although she sometimes is a resource guarder of food and her toys.  She does not do well with smaller dogs and animals, perhaps her prey drive, so no smaller dogs, cats, or critters for Miss Abbey. 

Abbey seeks a home with an experienced handler interested in agility or some form of exercise that will utilize her sharp mind and active nature.  This agile girl requires a secure fenced yard (6' privacy fence). 

She can be sensitive and unsure with men, but she has lived with a man and was comfortable with the ones she knew. She seems to prefer women. She likes to patrol the yard for squirrels.

LILY

Sponsored by Tasha Castillo

of San Antonio TX

Estimated Date of Birth:  19 June 2004

Lily is a sweet little house dog who absolutely loves and adores people!  She is good with children too.  She loves to have her tummy rubbed, sleep on the bed with you, and curl up on the couch to watch TV.  She loves playing with other dogs; however, she tends to be a dominate alpha female and can sometimes play very rough so her time spent with other dogs would have to be very closely supervised.  She would do better in a home where she could have all the love and attention!

ANGEL THE BLONDE

Estimated Date of Birth:  29 December 2000

My name is Angel. I have a uniquely cute face, ears, and expression and a little bob-tail to boot. I am just the right size and amount of fun to make a great addition to your family. I am smart and attentive and even know how to do a little standing dance for a treat. Check it out in my video clip! Click here!

I fit in nicely and am a nice girl to have around - not one of those high maintenance types. I am housetrained and get along with other dogs.

I had a home once where I was an indoor dog and part of family activities. I loved spending time with my family. We moved a bunch when I was with this family. It was fun meeting new people and going exciting places.

But now, they moved again and this time I wasn't able to go with them. I'm really sad and miss my family. I wish they could have taken me along like they always did before. Now I live in an outdoor shelter with a bunch of other dogs. I have some dog friends, but it isn't the same. I really miss being a part of a real home and family.

If you give me a chance, I bet you'll think I'm an Angel just like my name says.

NUGGET

Estimated Date of Birth:  5 July 2002

We aren’t really sure what type of dog Nugget is but we do know that he is very sweet and loving. While he loves to play and socialize, he isn’t a wild or hyper dog.

He does like to give hugs and kisses but is very gentle.  He enjoys being outdoors playing with his friends.  He has such a gentle spirit about him and is well behaved in public and around other dogs.

He walks great on a leash, is great for bath time, and is just an all around fun loving dog!

INDIGO

Estimated Date of Birth:  25 January 2007

Indigo came to the shelter as a puppy with his littermates and mother.  He is a little timid meeting new people, yet very anxious, curious, and eager to join in the fun. He likes to talk to people in his special way to get attention and can be quite the character.

Indigo is an energetic, playful dog who would like a home with another doggy companion. He's grown up around other dogs, but since he has grown up in the shelter, he hasn't had the opportunity to explore all the things the big, outside world has to offer. Thus, he will require a home willing to work with him and show him the ropes of learning new things, home manners, training, and socializing.

Because he hasn't been around kids and is still a puppy at heart (just over a year old), he will be best in an adults only home with people who have time to spend with him and fine-tune all the best he has to offer!

COWGIRL

Estimated Date of Birth:  11 November 2003

Hi there!  I am Cowgirl, a very sweet and loving dog who enjoys being around people and other dogs.  I am very gentle and easy going; however, I am quite the escape artist and really need to be an indoor dog with my time outside very closely supervised!  I need a high privacy fence for closely supervised activities outdoors and when I am not behind a high privacy fence I need to be kept on a leash.  I am also terrified of loud noises such as thunderstorms, fireworks, and gun shots.  I tend to bolt when I get scared and don't easily come back when called.  I am well worth the effort though because if you love me and keep me safe I will be a loyal and devoted friend for life!  I am crate trained.

STORMY

Estimated Date of Birth:  29 January 2002

I am Stormy. I am active and playful, yet a gentle dog. I have lived indoors before but am currently living in the shelter with my new friend Nugget.  I enjoy playing with Nugget, and he helps me cope with missing my family and the indoor life of watching TV and hanging out with my friends.

I have had some basic obedience training and really enjoyed going to the classes. I wouldn’t be hard to housetrain since I have lived indoors before. I am an intelligent girl and a fast learner.

I'm a cute, little bit short and stout girl, so I'm more of a medium size for my breed.  Do you have a place in your heart and home for me, so I can live the family life I was accustomed to?  I get along with other dogs and might be okay with cats.

REBA

Estimated Date of Birth:  22 February 2000

Check out Reba’s beautiful eyes!  The Australian Shepherd in her gives her one blue eye and mix that with her beautiful red coat and you get a really gorgeous looking dog!  Reba was once was housetrained, so will do well indoors.  She loved spending time with her family, and they reported she was an excellent dog.  However, when they moved, they left her behind.  She was sad to be left alone but has adjusted and is a happy go lucky dog who gets along well with others.  She does need some introductions before readily sharing a food bowl, but she and her roommate now share food all the time.  Reba loves attention and would let you rub her tummy all day!  She also loves to cuddle up on the couch next to you and watch TV!  She is loving, gentle, and kind and would love to go home with you!  Don‘t those striking eyes just steal your heart?!!

Estimated Date of Birth:  29 March 2000

Bobby is a friendly, moderately active, Hound mix with a darling bobtail.  He gets along well with other dogs, but we've not seen him around cats or kids.  He has an overall pleasant personality and is attentive toward people.  He would like an active home where he could be part of family activities. 

Bobby is gentle, quiet, and laid back.  He enjoys lounging around in the sun and playing with his friends.  He loves attention but doesn’t jump on you to get it.  He was thrown from a moving truck with Billy but amazingly enough they both escaped major harm.  Despite his abuse, he remains very friendly and loyal.

BILLY

Estimated Date of Birth:  29 Mar 04

Billy is a Hound mix with an adorable bobtail and freckled legs.  He is smart, attentive, energetic, athletic, agile, treat motivated, and eager to learn! He had no problem "bobbing for a treat" during his "photo shoot." Check out his video!   Click here!

Billy seems like he would be an excellent candidate for agility or another doggy sport. He would also be a good jogging pawtner. Billy will require daily exercise for physical and mental stimulation.

We think Billy was an outdoor, free roaming dog previously, so he will need some fine tuning in the home manners department. Billy is a sweet and eager boy who is anxious to show you how much he can learn! He is probably too exuberant at this time for young children and cats. He gets along with the other dogs in his foster home.

Estimated Date of Birth:  1 November 2005

Buddy is smart and eager to please.  He knows several basic commands and is crate-trained.  He likes hanging out with his people and car rides.

Buddy is an active boy and an alpha by nature, so he will be best as an only dog or paired with a more submissive type.  He lives with several dogs now and does fine.

Buddy is athletic and agile and can jump a 4ft. fence, so he will require a 6' secure fenced area.  Buddy is a highly trainable dog, and he would benefit from a lot of personal attention.

A home without cats will be best for Chulita, and we do not know how she is with kids, but she loves her adult human friends

COYOTE

COURTESY

COYOTE – Shepherd/Lab Mix – Neutered

Estimated Date of Birth:  25 April 2008

Aren’t I just adorable?!  About 3 months ago I was abandoned at a vet clinic.  I had a severe case of scabies.  I was also severely malnourished and carrying more than my own weight in intestinal parasites.  In spite of all this, I have such a sweet personality and that was how I made my first impression on Linda, my hero who saved my life that day at the vet clinic.

Look at me now!  I am beautiful!  I am also healthy, neutered, vaccinated, on monthly heartworm prevention and desperately in need of a new home.  My days of free loader boarding are numbered, and even though I am in a safe place right now, the kennel area doesn’t have any exposure to folks looking for a new pet so my chances are pretty slim.

If you are looking for a loyal companion to spend many happy years with, won’t you please consider adopting me?

CLOUD 

ADOPTED!

Estimated Date of Birth:  22 May 2004

Cloud is intelligent, agile, energized, fun, and active as characteristic of the breed.  He LOVES to swim, run, fetch and play frisbee.

He is crate trained and house trained.  He often stays indoors, though he does well outside too.  Cloud enjoys being included in outings, riding in the car, and is happiest when he is with his people!

He is looking for a home with active people who can meet his exercise needs and entertain his sharp mind.  He would be an excellent candidate for agility or another doggy sport.  He would also be a great jogging pawtner, fun lake dog, or frisbee pal.

Cloud has not been around a lot of kids, but the ones he has met have excited him very much.  He may do best with kids who are a little older.

Cloud has been an only dog, is very people oriented, and would be perfectly happy being the only pet in his new home.  No cats for Cloud.  He mostly gets along with other dogs, but he seems to have his own judge of character criteria that only Cloud knows, and he has met a few he didn't like so much.  When leash walking with his people, he has always been fine with other dogs who want to meet him and takes more of a submissive role letting them sniff and nudge him.

Cloud has been a valued family member, but sadly his parents are moving overseas for work, and he cannot go with them.  Do you have a place in your heart and home for this loving, loyal companion?

ADOPTED!

MS. SWEETNESS

ADOPTED!

Estimated Date of Birth:  8 February 2009

What breed are we?  Your guess is as good as ours!  We have no idea what these adorable puppies are mixed with.  We only know they were thrown in a river and left to drown. Fortunately, a good Samaritan who witnessed this horrific scene was able to rescue them from the flowing river in time to save their lives!  However, he dropped them off in someone else's driveway!  Thankfully they are safe now but they all need homes of their own!  These puppies have endured to much in the past few weeks but they are happy, healthy, and eager to please!

RUSTY

OZZIE

Estimated Date of Birth:  19 January 2008

Ozzie is a sweet, shy 1 year old that came from a small puppy mill that was raising "designer dogs".  He is a "Snorkie" which is a Schnauzer / Yorkie mix.  He loves to get in the kiddie pool to cool off but is a very shy boy and needs a home where his new family can spend lots of time with him.  He is very timid but also very gentle and has never snapped at anyone.  He gets along with other dogs but we haven't seen him around cats.  Chances are he would be fine with them also. He has never shown any aggression.  Ozzie would be a wonderful blessing for someone willing to put in the time to teach him to trust and love.

ADOPTED!

BLONDIE – Yellow Lab Mix - Spayed

Estimated Date of Birth:  19 April 2008

Hi! I am a 6-month old, Labrador mix named Blondie! I look exactly like my father who is a full blooded yellow lab so I will most likely grow pretty big. I was born in April of 2008 and I already weigh 48 pounds. I would love to belong to a human family that has a large, fenced yard with lots of room to run around. I have had all my shots. I have been spayed and am heartworm free. When I first came to my foster home I was shy of other dogs. All that has changed! It didn’t take me long to warm up to the other dogs and now I get along great with all of them! I love playing and running around. I also love my daily walks and especially chew toys. (I am a puppy after all!) I have begun learning a few commands. I have mastered sit and am working on learning to stay. I am very smart and have a lot of potential for learning other commands. My favorite thing to do is fetch tennis balls! What I really need is a family that will give me as much love as I will give them.

SEAGHDA

Estimated Date of Birth:  12 March 2004

I am in great health and don't cause anyone any trouble.  I am really calm and laid back.

He is very kind and gentle.  He is not hyper and doesn't jump on you for attention.  He gets along well with other dogs.  Harley has not been around kids, but he is such a gentle dog we think he would be just fine

He and his littermates were playing in the middle of a busy road when they were rescued as pups.  Even though Harley has primarily grown up in an outdoor shelter environment and not been exposed or socialized much otherwise, he has a confident, friendly, well-adjusted personality, and should fit nicely into a home willing to housetrain him and show him the ropes of family life.

PJ

Birthday December 16, 2005

My name is PJ. I was abandoned by the family I had since I was a puppy. They decided they didn’t want me anymore and left me to starve by the highway. I don’t know why they did this to me because I am such a good dog. I proved this when I was rescued and brought to my foster family. I joined my foster pack with no problems. I didn’t bark or dig or jump. I was so thankful to have someone to take care of me and help me find a new home. I started putting on weight and after my first visit to the vet, was found to have no health problems including being heartworm free. I am so friendly and pleasant. I love children and am gentle with them. I am an unusually quiet dog, but I can bark. I would make a great addition to any family. I hope you will contact my shelter and at least meet me. I’m sure when you do, you will fall in love with my sweet disposition. I pray you will make me a part of you family.

HOPE

ADOPTED!

Estimated Date of Birth:  18 July 2004

Hope is a darling, freckled girl with a bright smile and keen, attentive expression. She is a dog full of love, happiness, and hope for a new life. You would never imagine seeing this beauty today that she was once so down and out - homeless, lonely, ill, and miserable with no hair wandering down a country road!

Luckily, she found the right person to help her regain her health, dignity, and beautiful, soft coat. Through it all, she has remained ever hopeful and sweet - always eager and tail wagging for people attention. She gets along well with the other dogs she lives with too.

This pretty, sweet, girl is hopeful the loving home she awaits will find her. Is it you?

ELLIE MAE – Border Collie – Spayed

Estimated Date of Birth:  5 November 2006  

Ellie Mae is a young-adult, smooth coat, Border Collie with a brilliant mind and spirit.  She is like that of a classy lady from an old western.  She is regal in looks and style, but has the gumption to keep you on your toes.  She is athletic and graceful.  This dog could do an agility course with her eyes closed.

Ellie is great with other dogs.  She is active and intelligent, typical of her breed, and will require a home that is able to provide her with adequate exercise and mental stimulation.  Please read more about Border Collies: http://www.bcrescuetexas.org/aboutbc.htm

REBECCA

Rebecca is one of those super sweet dogs who melts your heart with the look of love in her eyes she gives you. She is such a nice, easy-to-have-around girl who really loves her people and doesn't ask for much, but has so much to give.

Rebecca had a family but was returned to the shelter when they moved and could not take her. She would really enjoy having the human companionship and comforts of being a housedog again.

Rebecca loves people, and gets along great with most other dogs. She prefers less dominant doggy friends who just want to hang out and be friends. She's not into macho, roughhousing. She enjoys her current doggy roommate.

Rebecca will follow you anywhere for attention! She enjoys quiet nights on the couch watching a good movie and would probably prefer a quieter home without a lot of hustle and bustle or young children.

Although she prefers being inside with her family, she doesn't mind the outdoors as long as she has companionship. She is a happy dog who is easy to please.

BEAR

Estimated Date of Birth:  12 October 2005

Bear is a very handsome, stately, large mixed breed boy of undetermined heritage.  He has grown up in an outdoor shelter environment, so he has been limited in his interactions with the big, outside world.  He is somewhat shy, but does warm up quickly.

BLACKIE

BLACKIE - Black Lab Mix - Neutered

Estimated Date of Birth:  25 October 2006

Starved and Abused OK Rescue Puppy Seeks Loving Forever Home!

This sweet puppy came to us all the way from Oklahoma!

Blackie and his brother Brownie were rescued from an abusive home in Oklahoma.  Their “owners” used to starve, neglect, and abuse the dogs. For entertainment, they would throw small scraps of meat between the dogs and make them fight for it! 

Once in animal control, they were well fed and stopped fighting over food.  Brownie was taken in by an OK rescue group leaving Blackie all alone.  He screamed for his brother when they took him away. No one wanted Blackie because he is a black dog, which are the last dogs to be rescued or adopted from shelters.  Blackie stayed at the shelter while his rescuer tried and tried to find a rescue to take him.  She begged to have his kill date delayed, time and time again. Finally, we were able to arrange transport from Oklahoma to Texas!

Despite the abuse Blackie has suffered at the hands of humans, he is the most loving, affectionate dog you will meet!  He is so starved for attention, it is almost as if he is trying to make up for all the love he missed out on in his first year of his life.  He does tend to bounce and jump up to get your attention – can you blame him?? He is probably scared to death that he will be tossed out and forgotten and starved again.

Understandably, Blackie does have some issues with other dogs, especially around food.  He is young enough that he could be worked with to resolve this.  He is house trained though!

SOPHIE

Estimated Date of Birth:  1 December 2006

SUPER SOPHIE.  My foster parents say I am wonderful wonderful wonderful!  I am great with other dogs, kids of all ages, and even cats.  I don't even mind those silly cats rubbing up against me.

My foster mom says I am housetrained but yummy food on the countertops is still a little more temptation than I can ignore.  "What?" I say, "I thought it was all for me!"  Mom says "we're working on it," whatever that means.

I'm just an overall lovable Lab personality -- you know, that bubbly, fun, friendly kinda girl.  I would like a home with a fenced yard.  Some occasional outings would be super.  I like meeting new people and doing things.

SHADOW

Estimated Date of Birth:  20 December 2004

SHADOW is really a beautiful dog with a heart of gold.  Even though she was dumped in the middle of a country road with her siblings as puppies and has grown up in an outdoor shelter environment without much exposure or socialization otherwise, she is amazingly confident, friendly, and loving.

Shadow gets along well with other dogs and has an overall pleasant personality and demeanor.  She will make an excellent companion for anyone willing to spend a little time teaching her some basics.

She likes to get hugs and is not overly hyper.  This girl is a diamond in the rough, and it's not too rough at that, because she is already so sweet with a naturally great temperament and is very beautiful with her luxurious, soft, shiny coat and winning smile!  She just needs minimal polishing and schooling in becoming your best family companion.

Shadow is so laid back that house training should be a breeze.  She would be awesome with children and probably wouldn’t even be bothered by cats, although we don’t know that for sure.
