Randy - in memoriam
BUSTER
Buster's time had totally run out -- luckily a group of volunteers
at Town Lake Animal Center had fallen in love with him and
worked hard to get him out. He's with us in foster care now and
he's thriving! Buster is a well-built American Bull Dog mix. If
there was a doggie football team he would be playing
quarterback! He's always ready to go do
something and will need an owner that is familiar with active
dogs. Buster needs a person who will work carefully and
diligently with him, and continue to provide structure and set
rules and boundaries. He's strong and strong-willed, but very
sweet and smart. He wants to please and learns quickly. He's
currently entering his third month of obedience boot camp (a
$3,000 training value) and his trainer says he doing well with
both on-leash and off-leash obedience commands. Buster is
current on all of his vaccinations, heartworm negative, crate
trained, micro-chipped, and neutered.

IN MEMORY OF RANDY WHO WE LOST DURING HIS HEARTWORM TREATMENT.
PLEASE KEEP YOUR DOGS UP-TO-DATE ON HEARTWORM PREVENTION, IT IS A
HORRIBLE PARASITE AND IT WILL KILL THEM.

LUXOR
ADOPTION PENDING!!!
Luxor is a lovely young pit/staffie mix with a fabulous brindle
coat. As you can see from the pictures he loves people! This
dog will be a great family companion. He's under a year old
still and in a great foster home. As you can see he loves kids!
He also seems to get along well with other dogs.

KATIE
This sweet mixed breed girl needs a home - and
soon. She living outside primarily, but loves
people. So she needs to be in a home where she
will really matter. She's young (about 3), spayed,
HW negative and on preventative, utd on vaccs.
When the person who has her now called us, she
had none of that, but now she's been to the vet
and is healthy, happy, spayed, ready to go to a
home that loves her! We can't really tell the mix,
but think she has some red heeler, some lab,
maybe some chow (though I don't see it), who
knows! She's lovely. Katie is a referral dog, but
contact the site coordinator at
txcodigirl@gmail.com for more info.

THUNDER
Mr. Thunder Down Under is one of the sweetest
big goober dogs you'll ever meet. He really just
wants to be a lap dog - forgetting that he's a little
on the large side of medium! Thunder has some
rottie and some lab in him probably - along with
other lovely mixes. He seems to love all the
people he meets. This boy is just two years old or
so - and very, very calm. He's still at the animal
shelter, we're trying to find him a foster home and
his time is running short. UPDATE: We found a
great home for Thunder but, alas, his luck
continued to be a bit bad. We found out he
needs major hip surgery. But the good news!!
He raised $450 for his surgery at the Red
Poppy Festival. This 18 month old baby boy
will be fine - now he just needs someone to
step forward to love him forever. GAO
commits to covering his hip expenses.

BUDDY -- adoption pending!!
UPDATE ON BUDDY Buddy is so very different - what a tremendous positive change in the
dog in just 45 days with us. We're now convinced that he's a labpei or sharprador - well,
whatever a labrador shar pei mix would be!
He now picks out his toys and brings it to me to play with him. The 'tethering' helped him in
learning to stay by my side. He is just absolutely charming, friendly, bundle of energy and he
loves 'kisses' and being petted. Here's his sad story: My Mom (the current foster) was walking
her dog one Friday night and heard a loud 'yelp'. She ran to its source and saw one of her
neighbors violently kick this puppy. (Whose only crime was to try and follow him down the
sidewalk). The puppy was skittish of her, but came when she called. He is super smart, but
not trained. However he learned sit and fetch over the weekend. My Mom cannot have
another dog, but the thought of taking him to a shelter just makes her sick. Can anyone help?
Looks like Lab/Staffie mix, now 9-10 months old. BUDDY IS A REFERRAL DOG - PLEASE
CONTACT THE FOSTER DIRECTLY. HE IS NEUTERED AND VACCINATED, ON
HEARTWORM PREVENTATIVE AND CRATE-TRAINED. HE IS READY TO GO TO A
FOREVER HOME! FOR MORE INFORMATION CONTACT: eliza_walls@hotmail.com

MORE PUPS!
These four little females - Olympia, Fuwa,
Nastia, and Athena - are six weeks old as of
mid-August. They will be small dogs - under
30 pounds full grown. We'll put more
information up as we find out more about
them.

VESPA
Vespa is a lovely minpin/blue heeler/beagle mix. We know about the blue heeler part - we met mom
- but dad, well - that's a mystery. She's a small pup at 13 weeks old, still only about 12 pounds. We
think she'll be 25 pounds or so as a full-grown dog, so a petite gal. She already knows how to sit
(well, for a treat at least). Vespa is already spayed, microchipped, and up-to-date on all of her
vaccinations. She'll have her rabies this week (when she's old enough at 14 weeks of age). She's a
lovely tri-color girl. Vespa has lots of puppy energy still! She will be best in a home either as an 'only
dog' or with another dog who is very secure and is already an adult (2 years or older). As with all
puppies, she needs to be watched carefully since she'll run and play and chew (of course, I'm a
puppy and that's part of the joy of it all). Vespa was born in late April, so is now ready for a great
home.

MAGGIE AND TARRIE
Maggie is a lovely adult purebred (we think) black labrador retriever -
probably 8 years old. She is Tarrie's mom. Maggie is spayed, utd on
vaccinations, HW free (and on preventative), housebroken, quiet, and
just a lovebug of a gal. (She's the one in the blue collar) These two
gals came in together obviously and. Their former owner's life ended
suddenly, so they were homeless. We're hoping to place them
together since they are very attached, but realize that might not be
feasible. If you can help with either or both of them, please contact us.
