Remember Dante? He first came to us as skin and bones. Well, he’s had quite the transformation! Dante is living his best life with his new family which includes a fur brother to whom he’s bonded with. A rocky start for sure as both boys felt threatened by the other, but to see them now – just wow. They are inseparable 24/7! And might I add his mom and dad are awesome people too!
Bella came to us from the Del Rio area and got a clean bill of health from our vet. She fostered in the San Antonio area until her perfect home was found among our pre-approved adopters. She is 4 years old and looks like a pirate – she lost one eye when she was a toddler! Her one eye didn’t slow her down or make her undesirable to her new family. We are so grateful she is happy and well adjusted in her new family.
PUPPY ALERT! PUPPY ALERT!!
Meet Jasper. He is just a big ole 8 month old puppy who is a sweet loving boy. He is up to date on vaccines and neutered. He is 100% puppy so be ready for that puppy energy. He sleeps in his crate with no fuss. He gets along with big and small dogs. He just wants to play so his ideal home would be one with energetic children, just not small children. He is working on his manners but his foster has already taught him to sit for a treat so he is a smart baby. He is now available for adoption. If you already put in an application for one of our past adoptees and missed out please let us know if you are interested in Jasper.
This is sooo important to remember as many of you will be bringing home a new fur baby soon. We hope that we have set them up to thrive while in foster care, but there is ALWAYS an adjustment. Please give them time to become your perfect family member.
Welcome Cooper to the gang. He is a 2 year old spitfire. He is fostering with one of our directors and will be ready for adoption after vetting and evaluation.
PETRA (aka Sweet Pea) is ready for her family!
Petra is 4, fully vetted, heartworm negative and microchipped. She is house and crate trained and gets along well with other dogs.
Things she loves – car rides, walks, stuffed animals, eating, snacking, and most favorite thing is just laying next to you.
Things she’s not a fan of – loud noises, sudden movement, strangers wearing masks. Doesn’t like to be away from humans for too long.
From Foster Mom – Petra is still working on not pulling when being walked on the leash, but is improving. She’s great with my teenage son. Doesn’t seem to be bothered by other dogs – when we see them at the treat store. She’s still pretty skinny, but we’re working on that too! Enjoys organic bone broth with her meals.
Social distancing screws up rescue too! Did you know that? We didn’t give it a thought, until we had trouble with transports because everyone needed to be cautious and vetting doesn’t move as quickly when in crisis mode!
The first couple of weeks we just kinda took it easy, thinking it would pass and we’d get everything back on track. But nope! As the days stretched into weeks and weeks into a month, and we’ve taken in 5 new dogs that needed our attention, we decided we better figure it out pretty quickly!
We have pulled all apps that had not been screened. A lot of you have gotten emails as Romeo, Dante and Beast have all found their homes and we have asked if you want us to continue screening your app for a future dog. Please let us know if we need to put your app in that mix.
We are going to proceed in the order they were submitted until we get them done. Any pre approved applicants can speak up for one of the new arrivals and we can note your interest.
Please know that vetting is moving slower than normal so all of the new babies are being vetted and medical needs addressed so they can get into homes as soon as things get back to normal.
We pray that you and your families stay safe and well. We are so grateful for your unending support of what we do, and especially so during these days that we are in.
We are glad to see that our Po is fitting in with his new family. He has even started helping his hooman sisters with their school work. Happy Tails Po!!
