Our little runt just passed away
As you can see in this photo the runt was half the size of the other two. We don't think it was latching for feedings. But the other 2 are healthy and mama is doing a good job taking care of them.

Late last night we were brought a dog that was found on a sidewalk in Pleasant Grove in active labor. At the time she had only one puppy. This morning she had 2 more. Right now mama and babies are doing well. They are resting comfortably.

Our sweet little Goldie was just adopted. She came to us with 5 other dogs from a hoarding situation. We are so grateful that she found a loving family to give her the life she deserves.

Scrat is available for adoption. He was named after the squirrel from Ice Age, and we think he is a dead ringer.

Scrat is 10 years old. He is neutered, vaccinated, microchiped, and Heartworm negative. He also recently had dental work.

He is very sweet and snuggly. He gets along with dogs and cats. He loves to give kisses.

Scrat is up after dental surgery. 3 teeth extracted. He will be available tomorrow

Today's spotlight pet is Polar Bear.

He came to us at 3 weeks old with 3 other babies. They were from a litter of 10 that came from Gun Barrel, TX. Their mama was feral and all the puppies were sick. Sadly several of the babies died. We believed that the puppies wer Labrador/Pyrenees mixes because several of the puppies had double dew claws. Polar Bear has a single dew claw
He was the smallest and the most timid of all the puppies we had. He is also the only one that has not been adopted.
He is now almost 10 months old and desperate to find his forever home.
Since he is a long stay pup we have waived his adoption fee.
He loves to be outdoors and is very active. His favorite thing to do is play in the mud. He is good with other dogs and is very passive. He gets beaten up by chihuahuas despite being over 40lbs.
He is very timid and scared of everything, but quite the cuddler once he warms up. He is also crate trained.
He would be best in a home with another dog and needs to be with a family that can work with him to help hm gain confidence.
If you are interested in adopting or fostering Polar Bear please email [email protected]

Today's spotlight pet is Rocky.

Rocky came to us with 2 other dogs (Bella and Mazie- both have been adopted). He was an owner surrender after his owner lost her job and home.
Rocky had horrible skin allergies and hairloss and he was also heartworm positive.
We have given Rocky love and support and treated his medical issues. He is now heartworm negative, and his hair is growing back.
Rocky gets along with other dogs, bur he is the alpha and lets everyone know it
He does not like cats.
He can be quite the cuddler once je warms up, and is the best guard dog.
He is 10 years old but has a lot of energy.
He is 16lbs.

Our sweet little Reese passed away.
She went downhill quick! She was 12 and did have a heart murmur and was in heart failure, so we assume that is what happened. This morning she was walking around, and then just deteriorated rapidly. At least she died loved and in a much better condition than when she came to us.
RIP baby girl.

Knut may be the only dog in the world that runs through berry bushes to give himself a punk rock hairdo!

Amazing adoption today!
Ziggy & Stardust were just adopted together! They are going to an amazing home with 2 amazing people. We are so happy for them.

After loosing some chickens, quail, and a rabbit to this extreme heat, Blessing & Hex have been brought inside. A few of the birds came in for a little while when it looked like they were in distress.

The animals all have shade & lots of water, but with today getting up to 102 with the heat index of 108, all the animals outside are suffering.

Please check on your livestock.

Ziggy and Stardust were picked up from the vet and are doing great.
Available for adoption tomorrow.

Ziggy and Stardust, the 2 dogs found as strays and picked up from Pet Supplies Plus are up for adoption.
They will be getting vetted tomorrow and will be ready to go to a forever home Tuesday 7/2.

It is amazing how many people came together to rescue this little lamb. Her mama was killed by a pack of dogs early in the morning. And leaving this lamb alone in the woods was not something anyone wanted. It took the entire day, but she was caught.
Tonight she is with us, safe, and resting.

Thanks Meagan Probus Kema Condor for quite an adventure today.

Update on Shrek.
Warning 🚩🚩🚩Graphic images

Shrek has had several seizures. He also has some kind of trauma from vehicles.

He was taken to the vet today by our foster. He started freaking out in the vehicle and was attacking the crate he was traveling in. Overly stimulated, he started having a seizure and was clamped on to the crate. Luckily he had arrived at the clinic, and a vet was able to come out to the car and help calm him and get him out of the crate & vehicle. His mouth was bleeding as a result, the metal wires were bent. There was so much blood that it covered the crate, his mouth, and his legs.

The vet believes he has some major trauma connected to vehicles. As a result he gets overly stimulated which causes him to hyperventilate which in turn causes him have a seizure. The foster will watch him to see if he has seizures in the home, and we will reasses if that happens. Shrek was given Gabapentin to help calm him during car rides.
The vet also said he was riddled with infection. They believe it is because of the horrific flea infestation. His eyes, ears, and legs are swollen as a result of the allergies. He also has a fungal infection on his skin.
He has vision issues associated with the seizures and disorientation. He has hearing issues due to the infection in his ears.
He was prescribed several medications, and we are hopeful of the outcome. The vet aged him at 5-6 years old. And what is amazing is that despite all he has gone through, he is the most loving and sweet boy that just want to be loved.

Please consider donating to help us cover his medical expenses.

Sundae was just adopted by a family with 6 kids and a Frenchie. She will have so much love. We are so happy for them.

Despite being full, we were able to rescue this sweet boy from Friends of Glenn Heights Animal Shelter since a foster stepped up.
He is in pretty rough shape. He has some of the worst flea infestation we have seen. He had 2 baths, a Capstar, and Bravecto, so we are hopeful. He has also started amoxicillin to clear up the infection in his eyes.
He is only 35lbs so he will also need to put on a little weight.
As soon as he is healthy we will get him neutered and put him up for adoption.

His new name is Shrek!

Last Sunday we met Marissa Rudd to assist with an animal hoarding situation in Henderson, TX. The elderly woman living on the property was living in horrific conditions and unable to properly care for her animals.
The were 27 cats, some of which were pregnant. There were Great Pyrenees, Irish Wolfhounds, and a few Labrador mix breeds. There were also 4 puppies that were 10 days old covered in maggots. Apparently the mama dog was killing and eating her puppies. Probably due to starvation.

We stepped in to assist with 6 chihuahuas on the property. They are between the ages of 4-10 years old. They were infested with fleas and their nails were so long they were curled over. One of the chihuahuas is also said to have seizures.

We are so grateful that our partners at The Colony Shelter were able to help by taking 2. They took Ladybug & Betty Boop. They are getting vetted and will be available for adoption soon.

Our wonderful foster & former adopter (turned rescuer) Heather Ross has the chihuahua with seizures. His new name is Gizmo. He is currently in quarantine and decompressing. He was probably the most scared of all the pups we took in. Heather is working to gain his trust.

We currently are looking for a rescue that can help with the 3 other ones. We have 2 males and a female.

Scrat (named after the squirrel from the kid's movie, Ice Age) is 10 years old. He is neutered but desperately needs dental. He is quite a lover and will give kisses.

Rowan (means little redhead in Irish). He is probably around 6 years old and is the smallest (his name used to be Tine Tine). He is very affectionate, but can get a little nippy. He is a bit of a brat at times.

Goldie is a shy little girl. She is around 8 years old. She will need some help trusting and some time to decompress. She is one of the smallest females.

Please contact us if your rescue can help. We are only looking for no-kill options for these pups. And they are not available to the public. They will become available once they have been fully vetted by a rescue. They are also trying to find rescues that can help with the 2 lab mixes. As of now I believe they are still on the property.
