Age: Adult approx 2 years
Breed: Mixed Breed (Shepherd X)
Size: Large over 50lbs
Housetrained: on a schedule and doing great!
Likes: Frisbee, playing, people, other dogs...
"I JUMP ON THE TRAMPOLINE!"
" I would make a great ranch dog! I am loyal , high energy and extremely willing to please."
Eli is a gorgeous mixed breed dog. He is a wonderful family companion, would be great for taking on hikes, heading to the river or out camping. He is a very playful and energetic dog who has been working with a border patrol K-9 dog handler learning basic obedience and leash walking. He spends time indoor and out and does great with both. He is currently living in a 4 ft fence and has never made an effort to climb or dig out and is great with small children and has learned appropriate behavior such as staying low and not jumping, but would do best with older children due to his size and energy level. Eli is a great dog-a gorgeous dog-with an equally wonderful disposition. "Check out my youtube video below to see how pretty I am in real life. Although you cant see it here-I really like to play frisbee and am a water finatic"

Sadie is an amazing, Loving dog who is so trainable it hurts! She is very obedient and willing to please. If you are inclined to work with your dog or send them to training, she will impress you very much. She will sit on command in any situation and without hesitation. She will stay when told to stay. She has conquered the issue she entered foster care with which was confinement. She use to go crazy in a yard or dog kennel, now she goes to the kennel on her own. Sadie is a great playmate for the children in her home as well as the other dogs. She goes on walks to the river and is thinking really hard about jumping in, but just has not gotten the nerve yet-her time is coming!

Ringer is a good boy in need of some basic obedience training. He appears to have had very little interaction with people, but none the less, is VERY affectionate and loving and adores having his head scratched. Ringer is living with three labs and although he doesn't seem "buddy-buddy" with them, he is friendly. He has not gotten to a point of playing with them. Ringer was oblivious to the cats in the home and is trustworthy with small dogs and children. With the guidance of a professional dog trainer, Ringer is learning some basic obedience skills and learning to join the pack.

All of this and he is still only a pup. Sonnie will make an amazing pet for your family. He is great with small children and other dogs-even cats are okay. If you are in search of a fun loving, easy, laid back companion, look no further-ITS SONNIE!

Simon was originally named Whitey when he was rescued in August of 2009. He was quickly adopted and to our dismay, was found in less than humane condition. Simon was covered in mange and fleas when he returned to our program in February 2010. Despite his obvious physical neglect, Simon remains without hesitation, one of the sweetest and nicest cats you will meet. He is still very young and easily adaptable to any home. He is fine with dogs other cats and children. Simon really deserves the right home this time. If that home is you, what are you waiting for? Get Simon the family he needs right away.

SPONSOR A DOG TODAY!
Since we are a foster home only program, our rescue abilities are limited by two factors-the number of homes we have fostering and how quickly our adoptions take place. We primarily rescue from the Uvalde City Pound where animals are euthanized if not claimed by their owners or rescued by our group. If you are thinking of getting a family pet, please consider rescuing....
...You will be saving two lives-the one you take home today and the one rescued tomorrow.
My name is Murphy and I am not sure how I ended up here, but I sure am lonely. I keep waiting and hoping someone will take me out of this cage because from what I hear, my time is short. Won't someone please rescue me?
This was Murphy before. Here is Murphy now.
Murphy was rescued and has gone to his forever home.
Would you like to experience the joy of saving a life?
