hi, this is bo. bo is a female german shepherd mix. she is about a year old, 50 pounds, and 2 feet tall. bo was wandering the streets of south LA for a long time before i rescued her. she was very friendly and i could approach and pet her. the problem was that it was obvious that she was nursing pups so i couldn't take her but a friend and i fed her everytime we saw her. after over 8 weeks on the street i found out that her puppies were weaned and given away. so i finally took her. unfortunately, she had a bad infection in her body that required a 2 week stay with the vet. now she's healthy and ready for a caring home. bo is sweet, affectionate and gets along with all dogs, children, and cats. she is spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, fecal test done, frontlined, and microchipped. anything you can do to find this sweetie a home would greatly be appreciated. rescued dogs rule, terrell 323-385-8993

Dallas TX: former companion to soldier Thunder needs foster or forever home

Crossposting to help find foster parent(s) for Thunder in Dallas TX

Thunder is a sweet, 2 year old purebred American Bulldog who is heartworm negative, neutered, and current on vaccinations. He was retested for Heartworms at the Central Animal Clinic in Cedar Hill where his owner paid to have him taken for treatment. Kimberly of www.earstexas.org asks

Is there anyone here that could foster him and help us find him a home he deserves? If we can find a foster home, I know we can find him a permanent home.

We still do not have a place for Thunder yet but are trying. Unfortunately it is the summer and many of the fosters are on/off again for vacations. If you can crosspost him, that would be great. And yes we are in Dallas.

Kimberly wrote: We have temp tested this dog and he is wonderful but we do not have an open foster home for him. Thunder does fine with other dogs but does seem a bit too interested in cats so we would not recommend he go to a home with cats. As you can see in the attached pics, he is very skinny but nothing that a bit of TLC will take care of. The main thing is this dog loves to go on walks, play and snuggle up for a good nap when he is tired. He is a true housedog.

Thunder's story:

He was owned by a gentleman in the armed forces who was stationed in Germany but took Thunder with him. Thunder lived in Germany for a year and when the man would be deployed, he would find someone at the base to watch Thunder. But that was a hard life for Thunder because his dad was not around very much and he didn't have much interaction or room to play. Finally Thunder's dad decided that it would be better to find Thunder a home back in the States. He brought Thunder back to Dallas on one of his leaves and thought he found Thunder a good home where he would be loved. Unfortunately the family that adopted Thunder did not care for him the way his dad had. They put him outside, did not feed him enough, didn't keep up his hw prevention and let him get out. The first time Thunder got out, the new family picked him up. The second time, Thunder came in without his ID tags so the info on his microchipped was called. It was his original dad in Germany . He was appalled to find out that Thunder now only weighed 60 lbs instead of his 72 lbs and he was in a shelter. He did not want Thunder to go back to the family and asked the shelter to help him find a new home for Thunder. He even paid to have a shelter representative take him to the vet and get meds for him for his cough and retested for heartworms (thankfully he was negative).

Kim, you may want to add this to his plea! The vet I work for has treated this dog, and has knowledge of his temperament and behavior! See her notes below when I forwarded his shelter email to her. If someone is interested they can talk to her directly I'm sure for moreinfo..."He's not vicious. We were able to treat him - no muzzle, no sedation.We neutered him and drew blood / urine - no prob."

Junior previously belonged to a homeless person who took good care of him. Unfortunately, Junior has exhibited aggressive behavior on several occasions and has been involved in two bites and several other incidences. Junior is now being declared vicious in the city he lives in. Since Junior can no longer live out on the public streets with his owner, we agreed to post him to see if any rescue group would be willing to take him in. The group that takes him will have to agree to keep him on whatever conditions are set up for their city regarding vicious animals as we will have to forward the information to their animal control.
If you want more information on Junior, please contact me by Thursday.

Subject: Erica (EV I.D. # A0788589) is wishing her life were a soap opera

This is Erica, ID # A0788589. She is stunning (she has amber-colored eyes), but is so despondent. At the age of 10-years, the family she trusted to take care of her dumped her at the East Valley shelter because they had "no time." You know simply by looking at her expression and her soulful eyes that she is wondering what she did wrong to end up in such deplorable conditions.

The word is out that as a result of overcrowding in the shelters, many dogs (and other animals) will be killed this week, based on who has been there the longest, the oldest, the aggressive, the "terminally" ill. What are the odds for Erica?

This Erica is not a soap opera star, but she would gladly take on the role of loving and loyal companion in someone's life. Please give her the opportunity to play the part.

The East Valley shelter is at 14409 Vanowen, Van Nuys. (818) 756-9323.

ERICA - ID#A0788589 My name is Erica and I am a spayed female, red and white Siberian Husky and German Shepherd Dog. The shelter thinks I am about 10 years old. I have been at the shelter since Jul 03, 2008. This information is 1 hour old. Any dog or cat under the age of 8 weeks will only be adopted with its mother and the rest of the litter. Please call first to confirm that the mother and litter are available for placement. Adoption fees include spay/neuter surgery, all animals will be sterilized prior to release.

The Colony TX: LOST FOSTER DOG! Precious little "Shell Girl"

PLEASE CROSSPOST re little dog just rescued from Grand Prairie TX Animal Services - Any and all help appreciated!!!

All: forwarding this message from Helen in Texas:

Just got word from Cathy's sister that Shelly has escaped from Cathy's backyard.
Cathy, her sister-in-law and her sister have spent the day hunting for her without success. I know she was microchipped at GPAS, I have a call into Cathy now to see if the shelter gave her the paperwork to register the microchip.
Cathy and her sister have been unable to get close enough to put a collar on her
so no ID tags on her. They are heartbroken. Especially since she had been coming
closer and closer to them and was really starting to make progress. She had even
come up to Susan (Cathy's sister) and nuzzled her hand briefly. They have not
been able to figure out how she got out, unless she took a running jump at the
woodpile and leaped from there over a 6' stockade fence.
Cathy lives in The Colony (not Lewisville as previously reported by me). Cathy contacted animal control in The Colony, all her neighbors and Susan went up to the local water park, Hawaiian Falls to see if anyone there had spotted her. They're thinking that since she hung out at the Shell Station in Grand Prairie where there was people and food, Hawaiian Falls would be a likely place for her to go.
Where Cathy lives is bordered by S. Colony Blvd on the north, Blair Oaks Dr. on the
West, Paige Rd. on the East, Memorial Dr. and Hwy 121 on the South. They are
just a few blocks from Hawaiian Falls water park. There's also a big field near
there as well. So far no one has spotted her.
Cathy has left her gate open just in case she can find her way back. Anyone have any ideas? Maybe make some posters and plaster the area? Any other animal shelters in the area where she might be taken if someone is lucky enough to catch her?. She's probably really scared now. Please feel free to crosspost. I've attached her picture.
Remember, she's small, only about 20-25 lbs.

Thanks to everyone who donated, emailed, expressed concern and in general, made it possible to save the life of this little girl. "Shelly" is out of the shelter and into a foster home. Cathy Schneider is her new foster mom. She is in Cathy's backyard as she does not want to come inside. Don't worry, she has plenty of shade, food and water. She's keeping about a 4' distance between herself and Cathy and her family right now. Cathy says you can tell she wants to be friends, she's just scared to right now. Cathy's sister, Susan, came over today and spent about an hour with Shelly. Shelly was following her around the yard but wouldn't come close enough to be petted. I'm sure it doesn't help matters in that her whole world has been turned upside down several times in the past week. Don't know how long it will take her to get acclimated to life at Cathy's. I do know Cathy will work hard at getting her more socialized. She's socialized many a feral kitten!

Once Cathy gets her where she'll come up to her, I'll be posting again to see if anyone lives near Lewisville who can come over and give her vaccinations.

Thanks again everyone! That makes 2 that I know of that were saved from GPAS this week - Shelly and the chug whose name is now Lil Bit and has been adopted by my friend/petsitter. I'll keep you guys updated on Shelly's progress.

BTW, anyone needs a good petsitter, contact me. I've got the best lady ever!

Torti is a very friendly and loving cat. She was an owner turn-in because she suddenly stopped using her litterbox and started using the bathroom mat instead! She may have been upset about a change in the home or have been experiencing a urinary tract infection. She gets along great with the other cats and always comes running to get her head scratched and her back petted. She also likes to purr rather loudly! ** She is using the litter box at the shelter!*****Will be tested for feline luekemia once a rescue steps forward and indicates an interest**


Grayie is the white and gray cat in the left of the photo. This cat is strikingly tall and is very curious. He likes to come and check you out when you enter the cat habitat. He has beautiful white with gray soft fur. ***Will be tested for feline luekemia once a rescue steps forward and indicates an interest**


Kittie is playful and loving and likes to reach right out to make contact! This little cat knows no strangers - he/she quickly demands affection and petting. ***Will be tested for feline luekemia once a rescue steps forward and indicates an interest**

Kittens Kittens Kittens!!!! - There are so many kittens at the shelter that are gorgeous and need placement! Unfortunately less than 5 are usually adopted out per week, leaving the majority to be put to sleep. There is a noticeable drop off in kitten and puppy adoptions this year - perhaps due to the economy?? If you are a great cat rescue and can help us out with the influx of kittens we would love to talk with you!

Rabbit is a handsome gray tabby with beautiful matching eyes. He is enjoying the outdoor cat habitats and his 3-D prowess they allow him to exhibit! He is loving and friendly- NEEDS RESCUE ASAP!!!!

Chester is the friendliest of cats! You will not enter the outdoor cat habitat and escape a good head rubbing from Chester. He loves to rub and talk - will be a fantastic family member!!

Katie is a small shepherd mix girl - around 35-40 pounds - perfect for an indoor/outdoor dog! She intently gazes at everyone that enters the kennels - perhaps searching for her new family? She appears to be 1-2 years old and is gentle and laid back

Katie 3 -Katie 3 is a small (under 40 pounds) shepherd mix girl. She has gorgeous reflective eyes - she came in by animal control with a collar on, but no ID. And no matter how hard she looks towards the shelter gates, she hasn't made her owners appear to spring her.


Ace is a white bulldog mix. He is friendly and wants to be petted and love. Ace is apparently deaf, however. He only responds to vibrations.

URGENT!
Patch is a happy girl with a big grin on her face. She was brought into the shelter by Animal Control, yet she managed to give the officer a big lick anyway as she was being unloaded from the truck! She gets along very well with other dogs and is very playful and happy. Patch has been spared for 2 euthanasia days, but surely her luck will not continue to hold - her silly grin and waggin tail are real charmers. She has gotten along great with every other dog that has been put in her run. A GREAT GIRL!!!!

URGENT
Chelsea - A gorgeous medium sized lab mix - she has a bobbed tail and a curly coat! She was terrified initially, but has really blossomed in the last few days. She is loving and eager to please!


Sparkie - Shepherd mix dog that was surrendered by the owner-we're not sure of the reason - apparently did not have a real reason! Sparkie was dumped at the shelter along with Lovie - a yellow lab mix litter mate of hers. The have been around this one family their entire lives - are very friendly dogs! They know no strangers - each is welcomed equally with wags and kisses!

Walker - Female Walker Hound mix - She is calm (but now we haven't seen her in action with a deer in the woods!) and very interested in pats and in food. She came into the shelter very thin and very tired. Very sweet girl.

Brianna was brought to the shelter by Animal Control. She is shy, but there's a look in her eyes that says, "Just give me a little more time & lots of love." Brianna was brought to the shelter with a Black Lab mix named Charmer.

Charmer is a Black Lab mix. He was brought to the shelter by animal control. He's a little shy now (shelter shock), but with love & care will blossom. Charmer was brought to the shelter along with a Yellow Lab mix named Brianna. Charmer has the most unusual eyes - they are yellow in color and give him the look of being all strung out on caffeine (or worse!). He is not hyper, however...


Buster is all energy! He loves to play rough with other dogs and some people too! He is all ears. He has a dominant dog attitude with big ambitions for a small pup. Buster is being treated for sarcoptic mange - he may have lost some of his shiny black fur, but it definately has not affected his happy attitude!

Max is 5-6 months old. His owner was moving, and for some odd reason, Max could not go. Max was brought to the shelter in the trunk of his owners car - we are thinking that perhaps his owner did not understand that Max could actually have made the move, as long as he was permitted to ride in the INSIDE of the car. We decided to let that lie, however, other than to tell the owner to never ever put an animal in the trunk of the car again...... Max does not seem too upset to be with us - perhaps he can continue to climb the ladder of hope with your rescue help?

Holly was brought in by Animal Control, and listed as a stray found in a yard. Although she's frightened in her new environment, she will shyly approach and wait for a touch.

Newton -His name says it all - he is a very unique colored lab mix (not really chocolate lab, but a reddish chocolate) and so full of life and happiness. He has a great outlook on life - esp. considering his present digs! Newton is a very good boy! He was brought in by AC.

-

Chip and his brother Dale, were given up to the shelter because they had grown too large. They are 8 months old and love each other dearly. And just like the chipmunks, Chip and Dale, these 2 brothers have short bobbed tails that wiggle and wag with excitement. These boys are looking for a new family, one that can make a lifelong commitment to them. They are both easy going and will make great family additions. They are also incredibly intelligent and stick together through thick and thin! They temporarily outsmarted the staff, by learning how to flip open the kennel latch and let themselves out. They then would RACE around the edge of the kennels, showing off for all the other dogs. The last photo shows them in action! However, once the fun is over and the staff reprimands them with a "Go back to your kennel!" , they actually return to their kennels and stand there waiting for you to re-latch the kennel door. SMART DOGGIES! And they enjoy each other and good tricks!

Lady was surrendered by an elderly owner who could not longer care for her. Her 3 puppies (the 3 Sisters) were also surrendered. They appear to be Chow/Shepherd mix.

Bell is a beautiful brindle colored Hound mix - sweet, happy and loving as well. Please consider adopting Bell as not many hounds are adopted from our shelter.

Clementine - This one always has a song in her heart and a wag to her tail - see it in action in the photo? She is not overly rough or rambunctious - evidently had some manners instilled in her by dear old Mom. She is a gorgeous girl --

URGENT!
One Way is a gorgeous 6 month old shepherd pup. He came into the shelter on the end of a choke pole by AC and was exceedingly frightened and not too friendly. One of the staff took a special interest in him and has worked with him to bring him around and teach him that people are not all bad. He has a dominant personality type - he will require someone who understands dog behavior and can spend the time training him properly. He will only be adopted to folks who understand this breed and this personality type. One Way is exceedingly intelligent and trusts the staff he knows completely now. He appears non friendly to people he does not know. PARTIAL SPONSOR RECEIVED _ THANK YOU!!!

Lollie is a Terrier mix. He was surrendered, along with his brother Murphy, by their owners. The owners told us that their father was a Jack Russell. Both Lollie and Murphy are very sweet. They are exceedingly frightened of the shelter environment and long for a forever home. They are very attached to one another - we would prefer to send them to rescue together! They are 10-15 pounds in size.

Gus is a sweet 5 year old neutered hound mix in the Pleasanton TX pound that Sue is trying to help place. He has been coming in there for years. She guesses the owner decided not to get him out this time. So sad. Gus is a big, tall boy, and very sweet and good natured.

Lots of crossposting has been done for Samantha AND she has sponsorship for boarding. One would think she already has enough saviors but Valerie Markloff reports nobody comes to get her despite all the interest in her! An email Wednesday said redlisted Samantha was in ISO with an ear infection. Another email said she was on the TV news Thursday THE VERY NEXT DAY. Ear infections are extremely bothersome. Then it was said Friday she was put on the schedule to be killed. This is such a commendable dog for so many reasons!!! For a dog to be isolated in a shelter, to have an ear infection, and then go on TV and be pleasant is just one example. Look at her pictures and Sherry's report below. Please contact Sherry sherabrew04@aol.com What a dog! Many people have expressed interest in her but nobody has yet picked her up to save her and give her long life.

I actually went to the shelter after work today and spent some time with Samantha. She's gorgeous and very people friendly. She appears to be fine with her kennelmate who is much younger and much more active, but the staff marked Samantha's kennel card that she is food aggressive. Looking at Samantha's teeth, I guess her age to be around 8-years, but I let her off-leash in the shelter area and she seemed to enjoy prancing around. She was given a bath today and was silky soft. Here are some photos that were taken of Samantha, and with the two of us. When she would sit next to me, she liked to be touching with her paw. She did the same thing with the weatherman on the channel 7 news yesterday. You can probably see how beautiful she is in the photos, but they do not do her justice.
