Into the Fire

It is an understatement to say that Central Texas has been devastated by fires this week.  At this moment, a fire in Bastrop County (east of Austin) has consumed nearly 30,000 acres and 500 homes, and remains zero percent contained by heroic firefighters from all across the region.  A fire destroyed dozens of homes in the Northwest Austin neighborhood of Steiner Ranch. Multiple fires are reported north of Austin and in Dripping Springs (south of Austin).  It seems like fire is everywhere around us at the moment; there are literally scorched areas all along the highway as close as a quarter mile from my house...

PUGSLEY Needs a Loving Forever Home

Hi, my name is Pugsley. I've kept my momma's lap warm during the day and her neck warm every night for the past eight years. Last night she got to feeling cold to me.

The kids took me to her friend Mark who I know and he is really scary. He gets horribly mad about things like this and shoots his big pistol at the stars. He yells and cusses words I never heard before but says it calms him down.

I'm now I'm at a strange place with lots of dogs. They all seem happy but I'm still so scared.

I just pray someone will please let me keep them warm at night for all the years I have left.

Please contact Mark so he can get me to you and he can settle down.

Sadie

Sadie is a black, female, lab/border collie mix.  She is 7 y/o and is spayed.  She is house trained and wonderful with kids, cats and most other dogs. She has a lot of energy and absolutely loves swimming and running for a ball.  She would do best in a home with a lot of time for attention and playing. 

Chance

 

 

Chance is a brindle colored, male, cattle dog mix.  He is almost 7 y/o and is neutered.  He is house trained and wonderful with kids, cats and other dogs.  He is the sweetest dog I have ever owned.  Very loving andaffectionate.  He would prefer to lay around in the house rather than to be outside playing.  He is a very relaxed dog.

A friend sent me this info on a female Great Dane at the Corpus Christi dog pound.  I do not know if she's spayed or anything about her other than what you see with the photo.  I do know she's NOT one of ours.

I'm hoping thru networking that we can find this girl an adopter or foster home.  I am filled up with my own dogs and can not bring her here.  Please forward to other dog lovers if you can.

Thanks,

Penny

SUPER URGENT! YOUNG BEAGLES NEED SOMEPLACE TO GO!

Cross-posted with permission ~

I don't know of any beagle rescues offhand. SUPER URGENT! YOUNG BEAGLES NEED SOMEPLACE TO GO! -- phone no. below-  to contact

The email on Lonnie & Mason went out on May 19th and June 6th. This will be the last attempt to find a rescue group for Lonnie & Mason, as the vet where they're been staying is shutting its doors for good and will be sending them to the pound.

Lonnie & Mason are young Beagles who were abandoned in a cardboard box in a ditch on the side of a country road when only a few weeks old. They are now fully vetted and have an offer of transport from the vet office to any rescue that will take them.

The independent Terrell rescuer who has breen publicizing their plight assures that they are social and adoptable: "Yes, they are very social. Of course no house manners but are fine with people. They love the love and hugs given to them on my visits and Debs visits so I am sure they will be very willing to train and please. Nancy, there is no irreparably damage. I rescue only stray dogs and most of them are not use to people so I know what it takes. They funny thing is they are smarter than we are so we should not be so quick to pass judgment. These dogs are in my opinion a very trainable pair and again love people. I would however suggest they go together."

Any foster-based rescue group who can take these two in should contact Pam Mitchell at 469-474-3472,Pam.Mitchell@broadlane.com

Bella Oh My What a Gorgeous Shepherd - Needs a Good Home

Cross-posted with permission ~

Bella needs a forever home. She is a pure bred

female German Shepherd.

She is approximately three years old. This girl

is very loyal and while the Veterinarian that

had her would tend to her horses, Bella would

fret but never acted aggressively towards

the horses!!

She was  just worried that that huge creature

might hurt her owner.

Bella is very leash trained and did not hurt the

small dogs at the Vet Clinic. She will avidly

chase rabbits which evidently her original

teenage owner encouraged. 

 

She is very calm, but does get car sick as they did not take her anywhere.

She is fine with people of all ages and is very

intelligent.

All shots current!!!

 

Please help me find her a caring forever home
