Houston TX: Stray again. 30-40 pound Heeler/French Bulldog(?)

The dog was originally lost in the Long Meadow Farms area. He has become stray again. I just discovered this page re Long Meadow Farms on Facebook:

It looks like it could be a great resource in regard to finding lost pets in "LMF." It looks like there are other dogs lost in the Long Meadow Farms area. During fireworks it will be very difficult for pets. I hope this little guy, and all losts, find homes. If rescuers and concerned citizens can keep their eyes open for this one, and check the pounds as well, the lost doggies sure need help.

Subject: Found Dog
I was calling for my sister , she is having a hard time dealing with this as she cant afford to keep 2 dogs.

Found in LMF, Richmond. No collar, no tags, no chip. Very sweet, unless caught off guard- he has barked/snapped at 2 people (one who went straight to his mouth to check his teeth), but never to me or my dog. Has not been around any children, but has been around 2 year old chocolate lab- they get along just fine. He is fixed. He has never been inside, but he sure wants to. Lets me put leash and collar on him with no problem, and jumped into the car/kennel with ease. I have been told he looks to be a mix of heeler, French bulldog, terrier. He probably weighs about 30-40 pounds, and is about the size of a beagle.,,I just couldn't call the pound to come get him.

Subject: BULLDOG BOOMER LOSING HOME DUE TO ALLERGIC TODDLER!!

Boomer was bought at a puppy store at 6 weeks old. L They called him a "Valley Bulldog" which I am told means an English Bulldog/Boxer Mix. He is now 3 ½ yrs. old and losing the only home he has ever known!! Boomer's owner is now married and has a toddler who is highly allergic to dogs. Boomer has been relegated to the outdoor area and no longer gets the attention he wants and deserves. These people have also hit a huge financial crunch, which is making things even harder. Long story short, Boomer is losing his family!!

This is a SMART dog!! Boomer has been through training and knows the following commands:

Sit
Down (lay down)
Stay (sort of)
Settle (lay down with his head down as well)
Paw
Cage (goes into his kennel)

Boomer is also neutered and up to date on vaccines. He is great with other dogs and often goes next door to play with the neighbor's Great Dane and also plays with another neighbor's puppy. Cats are unknown.. Boomer is great with kids and people both and just an all around great dog that is going to need a new loving family who will help him get over losing his current family he has been with since a puppy!! Can you help this poor boy?? PLEASE CONTACT amoursdestin@gmail.com. IF YOU CAN ADOPT BOOMER!! HE IS IN AUSTIN, TEXAS!

I cannot hold back the tears this morning, and am having to suck on my inhaler as I type so I can breathe. While the general public is drinking their coffee and watching the news, or sitting in traffic on the way to work, or maybe preparing for the holiday weekend they are completely unaware of the massacre's happening daily in our shelters.

I am choking on a huge amount of guilt because I have been busy with saving 11 chained dogs in Leonard, I have been sick with bronchitis which I am fairly certain is now pnemonia, and because of that beautiful puppies were euthanized because I did not tell you about them. I feel responsible for their deaths. I will post their pictures after the ones needing help as a tribute.

Collin County Animal Shelter is full, and the majority is puppies and kittens. They are also experiencing a staff shortage which has them crippled.

Please if you can help any of these babies today, they will be euthanizing for space.
