MAVERICK

Estimated Date of Birth:  25 November 2008

Maverick is in need of a new home or a foster home where someone can work with him a little bit.  He is house trained, loves to curl up on the couch with you, go for walks, and ride in the car.  He is a little shy around new people and not recommended around small kids.  If you can help, please let us know!

BEE BEE & LITTLE MAN

Birthday:  29 July 2005

These 2 dogs belonged to a neighbor who has recently been diagnosed with Dementia and is no longer able to care for them.  He has no family who can take them so we are trying to find them a new home where they can stay together.  Bee Bee has been spayed but Little Man hasn’t been neutered yet.  We have been caring for them for the past month waiting on the outcome of their owner and now have permission to find them homes.  We are in the process of trying to locate their vet/records.  They are really sweet and very close and cannot be separated.  Their nails have been cut since this pic was taken!

PUPPIES

Birthday:  19 June 2011

Mom was left at someone’s gate, pregnant, and has now weaned her 8 puppies.  She is being spayed and the home owner is keeping her but the puppies all need to find new homes.  We have no idea what breed the Father is but believe the Mom has some lab in her.  These puppies are friendly and playful, typical puppies!

CODY

Cody does not get along with other male dogs, or with cats, but is good with older kids.  He is current on shots and heartworm prevention.   Cody was bitten by a rattlesnake and survived, but sadly lost an eye.

CHIHUAHUA FEMALE – Spayed – 8 Years Old

Ruby is current on shots and heartworm prevention.   She was possibly abused before being found running up and down the highway. Her rescuer thought that because of the way she runs in circles but we don't know for sure.

These 2 dogs are in need of new homes because the husband took off with all the money in the bank and left the wife and dogs behind with nothing.  She isn’t able to take care of them and is having to move in with her daughter who already has several dogs of her own.

BROWNIE

Brownie – Black Mouth Curr/Lab Mix

Birthday:  1 January 2006

This sweet & wonderful dog Brownie came to the shelter as a result of a divorce. The now single mother was forced to relinquish her loveable 80 pound baby. It broke her heart and the heart of her child. Brownie is healthy and neutered. He needs a large yard and other dogs to play with. He is great with children and should fit easily into a new home. He is adjusting well to the foster home but longs for the love he lost in his family. Divorce is a difficult thing and is hard on the family as well as the pets. We hope you will ease his loss and welcome him into your family!

Birthday:  5 May 2011

These two puppies were found in a drainage ditch, scared to death and full of ticks.  It took hours for volunteers to finally catch them after a wild run through the brush, barb wire fences, cactus, and God only know what else!  But thanks to them the puppies are now safe.  They are recovering nicely from their wounds and have really come out of their shell!  They now wag their tails and give you the high 5 wanting to shake your hand.  They are adorable!  They are brothers and have been started on their shots and deworming.

MAJOR WILSON - German Shepherd Mix

Birthday: 24 December 2009

As a puppy Wilson was found near a stock tank on a dirt road in Wilson County. A sweet lady saw him and brought him to the Wilson County Garden Day where she knew Las Lomas had a booth. Even though the shelter is full, a foster family agreed to keep him until a good home was found. The name Wilson seemed to fit, so that's what he got. He gets along with other dogs & loves children! He is very playful and loves rawhides! Wilson was adopted to a family who loved him dearly. He had begun chasing their livestock and then they fell on economic hard times due to a job loss. They decided to return him. Everyone was heartbroken! Major Wilson is doing great now and waiting for a new family!

TUX

TUX – Pit Mix Male

Birthday:  1 November 2010

A few words from the foster Dad!  “Tux is a pit bull mix but we have never had a friendlier, non-aggressive, people oriented dog transition into our pack of 16. No doubt that his first priority is you. We step out the back door and he's the first one to you to get some love. At six to eight months, he will need some work. We haven't had any trouble with him indoors so he's got the idea about doing his jobs outside although I don't leave him unsupervised in the house. Looks like he has all the social skills necessary to mix in with other dogs and he doesn't seem to be particularly jealous of others. “

SISSY

Birthday:  11 August 2010

JETHRO – American Bulldog – Neutered

Birthday:  16 July 2009

Jethro was found near Poteet mid November 2010.  He had a collar on with a rope attached to it.  It appeared he was tied up and chewed through his rope to get free.  Nobody ever claimed him even though ads were posted.  He has shown no aggression and walks well on a leash.

Birthday:  16 November 2009

Ka’Dee was starved - you could count every rib, her eyes were sunk in and honestly I didn't think she would live.  She had recently had pups, had an infection, and it looked like someone had burned her back with a cigar - she was in horrible shape.  I don't have to tell you what some food, water, antibiotics and vitamins will do!!  She is a happy healthy little girl now - she still has lots of puppy in her.

LITTLE MISS

Birthday:  27 April 2010

Little Miss is such a sweet and friendly dog despite the rough life she has had already.  She was dumped in the country, has been abused, beat on the head, and shot at.  She has survived it all and is doing well.  She needs a home with lots of TLC to make up for everything she has been through.  Little Miss is a real trooper!  She is strong minded and determined to survive.  She has a heart of gold!  She only weighs about 20 pounds and loves to be held and cuddled!  She is really a precious little dog and her pictures just don't do her justice.

IAA

Iaa… pronounced (ē`âh) - German Shepherd Dog

Birthday: 14 July 2009

Iaa is another dog in a line of many that have been rescued from the West side of San Antonio. Over the years Las Lomas has found forever homes for several dogs with this same story. Still, here it is again. Iaa is a German Shepherd Dog mix. She was rescued (9-8-10) after wandering up to a business where an employee saw how friendly she was and contacted the shelter. LUCKILY… one of the foster families had just had a dog adopted the week before (Prancer) and there was an opening. She has been around children over the age 10 and does fine. She is very friendly with people and is already showing loyalty. She is a bit nervous around other dogs so would probably do better in a single dog family. She is an easy walk on a leash. Iaa has not been exposed to cats yet and is being kept in a kennel outside.  She has had her booster shots and needs to be spayed. She has had one liter.  

UPDATE: Iaa  

Please note Iaa is not shy of other dogs. It took a little while for her foster family to test her temperament. She gets along GREAT with all the dogs in her pack. She is super friendly, loves dinner time and loves to play with her mates! She stays in the yard and is the easiest partner for a walk. She loves being on the leash and does not run ahead. She stays right next to her foster and will pause when a vehicle passes. Iaa is about 40 pounds and has the sweetest personality! She is a great dog and would fit perfectly in a great family!!!

LADYBUG

Sponsored by Laura Voccio

Estimated Date of Birth:  19 October  2005

Hi there!  My name is Ms. Lady and I am a pit bull. I was found wandering the streets and almost starved to death.  I was rescued and am now healthy and looking for a special someone to love.  I am very affectionate and love to exercise, play with tennis balls and cool off in water.  I am not aggressive during feeding time, but do hide treats for late night snacks.  I need a home with a 6 foot fence because I climb.  I am submissive, but get along great with other dogs.  I also like cats and kids.  I need lots of loving, attention, and a human who is willing to teach me, because I am very smart!  I have already learned to sit and can’t wait to learn more!!!

Update: Ladybug

A wonderful family adopted Ladybug but had to return her. They live in an apartment and truly believed they could spend enough time with her getting her the exercise and outside time she needed. The family was heartbroken and had to return her. They just couldn't spend the time with her she needs. Although we advised putting crating her because she is crate trained, they didn't want to confine her. Ladybug is back with her foster family and although she has had visits from her former family, she misses them so much! She knows what it's like to have a home and people who love and care about her and she doesn't have the same thing with her foster family who she shares with 6 other dogs. We have given her another chance. Are you willing to do the same?

BLANCA

CINDY

DOTTIE

MIKEY

ADOPTED!

UPDATE ON BLANCA

Sara Blanca is just as sweet & playful as her litter mates. They all love big rawhides and even sticks of wood. They are inside/outside dogs and crate trained at night. They need a dependable family they can trust not to return them to the shelter's foster home family the moment things get tough.

They have not experienced the harsh life of a stray on the streets, but they do know what it is like to go from home to home to home with no one to love or trust. Let's find homes for these adolescent dogs while they're still young enough to easily train. Please don't keep these dogs from knowing what it feels like to be part of a family.  

UPDATE ON CINDY

Cindy has grown a lot to reach her "near" adult size. Her personality and shape have developed into the dog she is meant to be. She does not resemble the Boxer as first instructed, instead Cindy along with her littermates have grown to resemble smaller yellow Labrador mixes approximately 27-35 pounds who are active, protective and loves the water. She is alert of strangers, house trained and a great walker.

Cindy has been adopted 2 times in the first 8 months of her life. She was first returned to the foster home at 5 months because a child developed an allergy. She was quickly adopted again this time with Blanca only to be returned at 7 months due to unexpected financial problems. 

UPDATE ON DOTTIE:

Dottie is the only sister who has not had any other family besides her foster family. She gets along with other dogs and loves to be petted. She is the smallest of the three girls at 27 pounds and loves to be rubbed, brushed and scratched. She will roll all over the floor and is a hoot to watch. She loves playing in the yard and like her sisters, enjoys the cool comfort of a kiddie pool where she can splash and get wet. She is a fun dog! They all are! They all need homes. These dogs stay with a foster family and are around dogs and children. For every dog adopted, a life is saved as another dog is saved from the streets or spared from lethal injection. Do you have room in your heart to welcome a dog into your family?

MIKEY, DOTTIE, BLANCA, & CINDY - BOXER PUPPIES - SPAYED

Birthday:  23 January 2010

These precious babies are like so many others; they were left in a box at the doorstep of a vet clinic.  This happens all too often!  Please be responsible and spay and neuter your pets.  Shelters are full, veterinarians can't take care of all the dogs dumped on them, and there are not enough homes to go around for all the unwanted animals.  Unless a home was found for these adorable puppies, sadly they would have been killed along with hundreds of others that are killed each and every day because nobody wants them. 

Fortunately, for this lucky group of puppies, a network of several people worked together to get them safely transported to a foster family.

They are about 7 weeks old.  They have been started on their shots and have been dewormed. They are safe for now but need a permanent family that will grow with them, love them and take care of them for the rest of their lives.

PEARL

Sponsored by Deborah & Michael Hawkins

Birthday:  12 February 2005

Pearl is Minnie's sister and was just recently returned to the shelter after being in a great home for 4 1/2 years.  She is going through an adjustment period right now and needs someone to love.  She was returned because she became animal aggressive and even though her family is heart broken and misses her terribly, they couldn't trust her with their other pets. They felt the only recourse they had was to return her to the shelter in hopes she would find another wonderful home where she could be loved.  Pearl needs to be in a home where she is the only animal.  She is completely house trained and loves to sleep near her family.

DIXIE

DIXIE – Yellow Lab Mix

Birthday: 20 February 2009

Dixie was dropped off in a La Vernia neighborhood and was wandering from house to house scavenging for food.  She is very sweet and friendly and has a gentle nature.  She is an escape artist though and will go to great lengths to be near you!   She needs to be an inside dog with her time outside closely supervised.  A 6 foot privacy fence would be best for this sweet girl so she isn't able to climb the fence and run off!  She has had a rough life on the streets and really wants a family to love!  Someone who will love her back and keep her safe at home!

BURLESQUE

BURLESQUE – Black Mouth Curr Mix

Birthday:  5 August 2007

Burlesque was found wandering on South Zarzamora near 410. Apparently she had been tied up with a leash and had chewed through it.  She was found on February 5th.  She was a little thin and very hungry. It was raining and she kept trying to get in the vehicles of the customers at work.  She is so friendly and super sweet!  She doesn't like cats but she does like kids.  If anyone wants to claim her, please bring the leash she was tied up with as proof she belongs to you.  If she is not claimed, she will be up for adoption.

TARGET

Birthday:  13 January 2008

Target weighs over 75 pounds.  He is a great dog.  He gets along well with others and is house trained.  He loves people and wants a family of his own!

BUSTER

CHESTER

Birthday:  1 November 2007  

This group of dogs was found half starved and thirsty over the summer with several others who have already been placed. They were being fed by locals in the Homestead Place neighborhood. Several people were making daily treks through the brush to make sure these dogs were at least being fed.

We only have 2 left for adoption:

Buster is the smallest and he has a head that sort of resembles that of a Beluga Whale. I believe he has some Springer Spaniel in his lineage. Buster is a little shy at first but becomes very friendly in a short time. He loves being petted. He is a small dog at just 25 pounds and takes his time eating food due to having several missing and broken teeth. 

Chester is a little bit bigger and weighs 30 pounds. He also has some missing and broken teeth. Chester is very outgoing and not shy at all! He loves to run around till he gets your attention. Then he will roll over exposing his belly for a good rubbing. 

All of these dogs are good with children and other dogs. The vet said their broken teeth were probably caused from eating rocks, something that happens when dogs go hungry, but they will never go hungry again.

HOPPY – Australian Shepherd/Border Collie Mix - Neutered

Birthday:  1 May 2008

This is Hoppy!  He got that name because he was hopping around from a leg injury when he was rescued, but also because Hoppy kinda sounds like Happy and that is what this dog is - HAPPY!  Hoppy is an amazingly friendly and sweet dog.  He loves to lay his head in your lap and take car rides.  He gets along with other dogs and doesn't bother cats.  He is also GREAT with children!  Hoppy has nerve damage from an injury and that's why his leg is in a cast right now, but the vet said he will be just fine.  He used his leg before, but his foot turned backward, so we decided to have it fixed.  It's about quality of life and making things easier for a well deserving dog.  Hoppy has been neutered, is current on all of his shots including rabies and he is heart worm free!  All he is waiting for now is for you to make him part of your life!  I guarantee he will make you as hoppy, I mean happy as can be!

STRIKER

Estimated Date of Birth:  6 September 2006

Striker was one of 14 dogs living in an old trailer house that had been vacated when his owner was taken away by social services.  He was never aloud outside and was never socialized.  He isn't an aggressive dog, but he is a little scared of strangers, although very curious and wanting attention.  Given a little time and TLC he comes around and will sit on your lap!  He was given the name striker because he was bit by a rattlesnake just days before we were able to catch him.  Striker only weighs 10 pounds and is full grown.  He has really come a long way since he has been at the shelter.  He is full of love and really wants to be held!

KAMI

KAMI – Daschund/Bassett Mix - Spayed

Estimated Date of Birth:  14 February 2009

Kami is a real sweet little dog who was dumped at the pound.  She was scheduled to be put down when we rescued her from death row.  She gets along well with other dogs and loves people.  She was flea and tick infested and is being treated for it.  She is a beautiful dog with a very kind spirit.

ANDRE

ANDRE – Black Lab Mix - Neutered

Estimated Date of Birth:  22 March 2008

Andre was left behind in the country with 14 other dogs when his caretaker was taken away by social services.  He remained loyal and guarded the place, barking at any strangers who came along.  It took us 2 hours to catch him because he was determined to stay and defend his masters’ home but we couldn’t leave him there in the heat with no food or water.  He is one of the gentlest dogs we have ever seen.  He gets along great with dogs of all sizes and is also really good with cats.

WILL

WILL – Chihuahua/Manchester Terrier Mix - Neutered

Estimated Date of Birth:  25 May 2009

Will is a cute little dog who skips when he plays!  He is so cute to watch!  He was rescued from death row at the pound and is so happy to be out of there!  He does well with other dogs and loves attention!

SPOTACUS

Estimated Date of Birth:  21 January 2007

Spotacus was found lost and hungry as he wandered up to a business.  The workers were amazed at how friendly and sweet this dog was so they started feeding him.  He was brought to the shelter instead of going to his death because of his unusually sweet personality.  He has received all his shots and been neutered.  He is heartworm negative.  Even the vet was surprised at how docile and friendly he was.  Spotacus is good around children ages 5 and up, but hasn't been tested with children younger than that.  He is well behaved and still has lots of his friendly, outgoing, puppy personality.  It is unknown how he would do around cats. If you would like to make him part of your family, please contact us.

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.

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.

COOKIE

Estimated Date of Birth:  20 December 2008

These sweet dogs were found in Sutherland Springs running down the middle of a very busy highway!  Fortunately they were picked up before getting killed in traffic.  They were really thin and full of ant bites at the time.  They are now beautiful, healthy, and wonderful dogs looking for their forever homes!

RED & RUSTY

Email address:  Kim@dogsrus.org

Please help us save Red & Rusty!

Estimated Date of Birth:  

Red:  11 February 2006   

Rusty:  11 February 2007

These two sweet dogs, father and son, Rusty and Red were drive from Houston to San Antonio 4 months after their dad died and left them in his backyard alone.  They are now at their new foster and although a little scared after losing their dad and the only home they know, they seemed very happy to get some long deserved attention.  Unfortunately, shortly after they arrived, Red stopped eating and his breathing became labored.  His foster took him straight to the vet. (The dogs haven't barked once since they have been at their new home but when Red was taken to the vet's office, his little boy Rusty howled for him for the first time...almost as if he knew).  We were told Red has a partially collapsed lung and pneumonia, in the later stages of heartworm infestation and the poor oxygen levels in his blood is causing lethargy.  He also has significant water on his heart and lungs, his white blood cell count is over 39,000 and he has whip worms and hook worms.  This poor dog is only estimated at 2-3 yrs old, and his young age is the only reason the vet is even giving him a 30% chance of surviving.  We were all trying to figure out what to do but decided that because Red is still fighting, we are going to fight with him!  Afterall, we are a no kill shelter and he deserves a second chance!  The next day it was discovered that Rusty is suffering from whipworms, hookworms, and heartworms as well.  He doesn’t have all the other problems Red has but we caught him early enough we are hoping his condition won’t progress as bad as Red’s.  As you can imagine their vet bills are going to be phenomenal.  We are writing this plea to hopefully get some donations to help fight for Red’s young life and to help Rusty as well.  These dogs have been owned by no one after their dad passed away but being fostered by a very nice woman who has several other dogs and can not afford to take this on herself.  The shelter is struggling with rising costs of vet care not to mention monthly heartworm prevention expense alone exceeds well over $500 a month.  We are asking if you can donate even $5 or $10 dollars, then pass this along to others who may help, this would mean the world to us and to Red and Rusty.  They deserve to be together and healthy after all they have lost.  Any tax deductible donations can be made through the Pay Pal link at this web site:  www.dogsrus.org using the email address Kim@dogsrus.org or they can be mailed to Las Lomas K9 Rescue, PO Box 494, Floresville TX  78114.  Thank you for any help you can give us!

UPDATE!!!  

PURDY

Estimated Date of Birth:  7 January 2008

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!

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!

BAILEY

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. 

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 :)

SLICK

SLY

SLICK & SLY – Hound Mixes - Neutered

Estimated Date of Birth:  30 November 2007

These medium size brothers were living in a culvert.  They maybe adopted together or separate.  They get along well with other dogs.  These two are approximately 15 pounds but will grow to be approximately 40-45 pounds.

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.

CANDY – Lab/Ridgeback Mix - Spayed

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 3 of her pups are still available for adoption..

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

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.

KRYSTAL

Estimated Date of Birth:  10 October 2005

SPECIAL NEEDS.  Krystal 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 Krystal’s siblings are shy, but curious about meeting new people, Krystal is exceptionally shy and unsure

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 JOE

BARNEY JOE – German Shepherd Mix - Neutered

Estimated Date of Birth:  10 October 2005

SPECIAL NEEDS.  Barney Joe came to the shelter as a puppy with his 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 Barney's siblings are shy, but curious about meeting new people, Barney is exceptionally shy and unsure.

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

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.

He would probably be easy to crate train and find comfort in a crate as being his safe place.

KAILANI

Sponsored by William (Brad) Smith

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

Sponsored by 

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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?!!

BOBBY

BOBBY – Foxhoud/Hound Mix – Neutered

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 March 2004

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.

THE FOLLOWING DOGS HAVE BEEN POSTED AS COURTESIES IN AN EFFORT TO HELP OTHERS PLACE THEIR DOGS IN GOOD HOMES.  PLEASE CONTACT US FOR MORE INFORMATION.

NOVA

Nova is a very affectionate dog who found out in Floresville on Highway 181.  Owners have never claimed her and she is searching for a new home now.  She had recently had puppies but they were nowhere to be found and she didn’t seem to be looking for them either.  Nova loves to be pet and doesn’t mind you being near her food, bathing her, or even picking her up.  She is a very sweet dog!

Clyde is a very passive dog, however, he is now looking for a new home because of a one-time incident where he bit a young child who was visiting his home.  She required stitches.  Other than this one time situation, Clyde has been a great dog.  Can you please help him find a new home?

SKEETER & JO JO – Black Mouth Cur – Spayed/Neutered

Estimated Date of Birth:  29 August 2008

These dogs have excellent temperaments and would make good family pets.  They are also good hunting and herding dogs; however, they need a secure yard to keep them safe from running off.  They are very submissive and non-aggressive with other dogs and would be great companions!

CHUNK

COURTESY

Estimated Date of Birth:  16 February 2007

Hi, my name is Chunk.  I get along fine with other dogs but haven't been exposed to cats.  I weigh approximately 75 pounds.  Our rescuer has to keep me outside because she has a small house but I do get to go inside when it is cold out and I do good in the house.  I am crate trained.  

I am playful and silly, but extremely intelligent and loyal. I would be great for someone who has the time to work with me on housetraining.

BUDDY – Pit Bull/Lab Mix – Neutered

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.

CHULITA

CHULITA – Pit Bull/Catahoula Mix – Spayed

Estimated Date of Birth:  1 November 2005

Chulita showed up on the porch of her foster home and wouldn't take no for an answer.  She enjoys hanging out with her people and car rides.

Chulita is an athletic, agile dog who can easily climb a 4 ft. fence if she wants to.  She has a calm, peaceful demeanor overall, but she has been selective about her doggy friends during initial introductions in the past.  She currently lives with several dogs, though, and does fine.  She may be best matched with a more submissive dog.

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
