Charlie Brown (or Charlie) as we like to call him is a sweet & cuddly little boy. He will follow you around where ever you go.

He needs a special someone to love forever.

LIL BIT

ADOPTED!

Birthday:  18 May 2011

BUDDY

Birthday:  27 January 2010

Buddy is a great little dog!  He is crate trained, good with kids, and good with other dogs.  We don't know how well he gets along with cats though, he has never been exposed to them to our knowledge.  He does need some help with learning to walk on a leash but he is worth the effort!

Birthday:  16 November 2010

Baby Blue was found running down the middle of a busy street.  She is so young to be left all alone to fend for herself.  Our rescuer searched for other puppies, and the Mom, but they were no where to be found.  She was given her name because the has the prettiest baby blue eyes.  She has been started on her vaccinations.

CODIE JOE

ADOPTED!

Birthday:  5 Jul 2009

Codie Joe is friendly, house trained, and gets along well with people and other animals.  His has been surrendered by his family who is no longer able to keep him.

This is a picture of Codie Joe with his new Mom!

MOLLY

ADOPTED!

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.

Mama Molly was the only adult female in the group. Her puppies have all been placed, (except one that we still haven't been able to catch). Molly is a timid dog. She gets along with other dogs and is good with kids. It just takes her a little bit more time to get use to people. When she does warm up to you, she loves to snuggle her head against you and let you scratch her back and rub her belly.

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.

ADOPTED!

Birthday:  2 May 2009

Peach and her brother Herbie are really friendly and well socialized.

PATCHES

ADOPTED!

PATCHES- Chocolate Lab – Spayed

Date of Birth:  7 March 2004

Patches is a great dog!  She is very loving, kind, and loves to be around people.  She is also a quiet, more independent dog.  She does really well inside the house and gets along great with children and other animals. 

ZSAZSA

ZSAZSA - Poodle

Birthday:  16 September 2009

ZsaZsa is now ready for her new home! All her treatments have been done and she is good as new!  Here was her story a few short months ago....

ZsaZsa was found on the west side of San Antonio covered in dirt, matted hair and mange. Her skin looked horrible and she was constantly scratching from the itch. Her coat was so bad we thought she was brown and initially named her Cinnamon. She is very lucky. Most people would have shot her on site, but we have big hearts at Las Lomas and see the potential in every dog.

Zsazsa weighs about 15 pounds and is making enormous strides with her treatments. She is heartworm positive and being treated for that as well. She has been cured of intestinal worms and an eye ailment. She has not been spayed yet. She is making an unbelievable recovery. She is house trained and crate trained. She is affectionate and loving, walks on a leash and loves kids. She loves going outside and comes back immediately when called. (she doesn't want to be left out again.) We are working on teaching her not to jump when she gets excited. She almost can't help it because she is so happy she has a new chance at life.  

She is good with other dogs and cats but has limited contact because she has not received a "release" from the vet. She loves to play and is not shy at all. For everything this poor baby has been through, she has such a wonderful, grateful and loyal personality. Everything about this dog, from the way she wags her tail to how she looks into your eyes, says "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" She knows how bad she was and she knows how close she was to death. 

JOEY

ADOPTED!

Birthday:  15 April 2009

Joey is a sweet, polite, and very well mannered little man!  He loves people, is great around other animals of all kinds, and is house trained!  He walks well on a leash, loves to go for car rides, and is great with kids.

FURRY

ADOPTED!

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.

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.

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.

Birthday:  27 December 2005

BOON

BRUTUS

Brutus & Boon - Schnauzer – Mix Puppies

Birthday: 29 June 2010

Brutus & Boon are the results of an unwanted liter. A very pregnant stray dog was taken in by a kind family who had found her wandering in an abandoned area. The puppies came a short time later. Homes were found for all but these last two puppies. The momma is secure with the family who rescued her and was spayed to prevent future litters.

Brutus is black and Boon is gray. They have been dewormed, received all shots and started on heart guard. They are playful and so sweet you will melt. Brutus gives kisses and Boon just snuggles. They play with their new toys, eat several times a day and nap the rest of the time.

CASSIDY

ADOPTED!

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.  However, don't let my age fool you.  I am also very energetic and could probably outrun you!  I do need to be kept on a leash and live inside for my own safety.  I am sad and in mourning because my family has moved to California and I wasn't able to go with them.  I am a digger when left outside in the yard.  I long to be with my family 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.  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?

SADIE

ADOPTED!

Birthday:  14 December 2006

Sadie is looking for a new home where there are no small children.  She is house trained, well groomed and very much loved and taken care of in her current home.  The only problem is there is a 2-year-old in the house and Sadie does not do very well with small children.  She is great around older kids and adults. 

PATIENCE

PEPSI

PATIENCE & PEPSI

ADOPTED TOGETHER!

Estimated Date of Birth:  13 January 2009

We are an adorable pair!  We have been together since birth and are very close!  We were adopted out together and recently came back to the shelter after escaping from our home (back yard) numerous times.  We always stayed together the entire time so we really want a new home where we can continue to stay together.  We do well inside the house but we were never aloud inside our previous home.  We really want to be with our people as well as each other.  We are sweet, friendly, and get along well with everyone.  

PRANCER

PRANCER – Gordon Setter/Lab Mix - Neutered

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.

ADOPTED!

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. I used to spend all day paddling at Barton Creek - I love the water!  I am great with children and dogs of all sizes, but I do tend to intimidate cats. I get really excited though, to meet new people and other animals, so a proper introduction is required. I would be a great watch dog for you, and would definitely alert you when a stranger comes to the door! I am a great, loyal, loving dog! I am house trained and crate trained, I have had some basic obedience training, and I enjoy chewing on my toys. 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. Would you like to be my new friend?!

Stewart is already crate trained, in fact, he likes his crate.  He is working on house training.  He is a really sweet and affectionate dog who loves people and kids and is good with other dogs.

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!

She was brought to the vet and despite a case of whip worms and ear mites which she is being treated for, she is very healthy. Dolly is heartworm negative and is current on her shots. She is SUPER soft and very adorable! She is an inside dog and needs a loving family who will take care of her. She will need constant grooming to keep her hair healthy and knot free.

Estimated Date of Birth:  18 September 2004

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.

3 LUCKY DOGS!!!

MR. TETCO

ADOPTED!

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?

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.

DAKOTA

Date of Birth:  7 March 2004

Dakota is still a very young dog at heart and loves to play fetch.  He will play until he falls down!  He is an athlete.  He is very tall and slender, not short and stubby like a lot of labs.  Dakota is a very beautiful dog with a great heart.  He has been an inside dog all of his life - except for outside potty breaks and playing or going for walks.  He does enjoy the creature comforts that we humans enjoy such as a soft place to lay down - if you'll let him.  He gets along great with cats and other dogs, including small dogs.  He is gentle natured and will just get up and move if the other animals pester him too much.  He will make a great addition to any family!

BREWSKI

Estimated Date of Birth:  27 December 2008

Brewski was dumped at a local Petco store.  They thought he was too sweet to end up at the pound so they called us for help.  He is living in a foster home and doing great.  He gets along well with other dogs and is working on his house training.  He is so happy that he wiggles his entire body and not just his tail!

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.

SHANK

SHANK – Chihuahua

Estimated Date of Birth:  25 August 2002

Shank is a sweet little senior citizen who has really had a rough life.  He was a victim of abuse and was stabbed in the back of the neck.  It looks like someone tried to rip his neck open!  This poor little dog never even got any vet care after he was victimized but was so strong willed he is well on the way to healing on his own.  Instead of receiving vet care, he was dumped at the pound and left to die.  Despite the abuse he has gotten, he is a friendly little dog who loves attention.

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.

DAPPER DAN

ADOPTED!

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.

COMET

ADOPTED!

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.

ROMEO

ADOPTED!

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.

KRISTY

ADOPTED!

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!

BRANDY & TASHA – Catahoula/Akita Mix Puppies

Estimated Date of Birth:  3 February 2009

Brandy & Tasha were in line at the San Antonio Animal Care Services to be turned in by someone who had seen them as they were being thrown from the window of a moving car.  Apparently, the person who was tossing them out of the window was trying to get them over the fence at a daycare center that was closed at the time.  There were 4 of them but the person who witness this horrible act kept the two boys and was hoping to find good homes for the girls.  One of our volunteers was at ACS at the time and when she saw them in line she asked the person  to please take them back home and give her some time to contact us and promised to come pick them up and bring them to us.  They are both very sweet and just precious.

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?

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!

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

Hi!  I was rescued in Spring Branch by a wonderful young girl saw me laying in the road and wandering the streets of her neighborhood for 3 days.  I was hiding out on a porch across the street and the house was abandoned.  I wasn't wearing a collar and there were no lost signs posted for me.  Despite the search for my owners, we were unable to locate them.  I am now looking for a new home.  I am really sweet and get along with other dogs.  I even shared by food with a bunch of stray cats today.  My name is Irish and it means majestic.

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

BENJI

HARLEY

HARLEY – Lab Mix – Neutered

Estimated Date of Birth:  18 September 2004

Do I have a typical, sweet looking Lab face and smile, or what!  Harley is a nice looking boy with a friendly personality.

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.

BERRIN

BERRIN – Rhodesian Ridgeback/Chocolate Lab Mix

Estimated Date of Birth:  27 November 2008

Berrin was found sitting under a big oak tree right outside of our shelter.  He managed to work his way across the street to a neighbor’s house.  This was luck on his part because people drive so fast up and down this road he surely would have been killed had anyone been coming.  Found ads were posted but nobody ever responded.  Berrin is a really sweet and loving little puppy who just wants to play and have a friend.

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

Estimated Date of Birth:  14 March 2000

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 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.
