Rocket's Been Adopted!

Rocket came to us the week of June 18, 2012 so we have not had much time to assess him but the shelter says the following about him:

He is a big goofy puppy who loves to play and is good on a leash. He is great with other dogs and keeps his kennel clean. He loves the water and is very smart. He is respectful to cats (not sure that means he loves them though). He is a people pleaser, well-mannered and a perfect companion for a family. Overall he is a big sweetheart. He is currently up to date on shots and ready for puppy class...which he would make an A+ in with a little time and one on one attention...any dog is waiting for that! Won’t you give him a chance to be part of a loving family?

Turbo is a fun and loving sweet boy who was found lost in the country with a belt around his neck, hungry and afraid. The lady that found him was able to gain his trust with food, shelter and love. Turbo is the kind of dog that likes to follow his human around and develops a strong bond. He seems to listen to women better than men, but likes everyone equally. His ears perk straight up on occasion and he loves people!



Turbo gets along well with cats, chickens, ducks, goats and horses. He loves to play with other dogs and is very energetic, but will calm down with told to. Turbo is house and kennel trained and does not chew shoes or mess with things in the house. He adjusted very well to being a house dog.

Name: Turbo
Age: Estimated 1 year old as of May 2012
Gender: Male
Weight: 37 lbs as of May 2012, underweight
Mix/Purebred: Mixed
Housetrained: Yes
Crate trained: Yes
Heartworm Negative/Positive: Negative
Spayed/Neutered: Yes
Microchipped: will be at time of adoption

Turbo is learning to sit and shake and his leash manners are coming along. He is very smart and willing to learn. He rides quietly in a car and comes immediately when called. You can't ask for better manners than that at this stage and age and we see lots of potential in this cute boy!

Diva-Available For Adoption

Sweet and sassy stunning sable searching fun loving family to snuggle with. She was found roaming around looking for food in an HEB parking lot, after much searching no home was found so the finder contacted our group for help. She is being fostered there.
Age: approx 1 yr old as of May 2012
Gender: female
Weight: currently underweight @ 45 lbs as of May 2012
Mix/Purebred: looks pure
Housetrained: assessing
Crate trained: assessing
Heartworm Negative/Positive:
Spayed/Neutered: will be at time of adoption
Micro chipped: will be at time of adoption
Good with other dogs: so far yes
Good with cats: not to good, too curious
Good with children: so far yes, good with all people
She absolutely loves to fetch and play! She is such a sweet and happy dog, you can see her smiling now that she has a loving foster home and more attention lavished on her. She is energetic and likes all people thus far. She has been good on a leash and good eating food; that is wonderful since she spent time without consistent meals. We think she may not be too good with cats since she chases them but has not hurt any, she may just want to play and be curious. She plays well with other dogs and likes to rough house and chase. Even though she is acclimating well, still she seeks a forever place of her own - maybe with your family? But don't wait to put your application in on this gorgeous girl, she will go fast!

Storm Is New To Our Group-Available For Adoption

Storm just arrived on July 3rd and is working in well with the other dogs and is curious and playful.
Name: Storm
Age: 1 yr. old approx.
Gender: female
Weight: will be an average size
Mix/Purebred: most likely pure
Housetrained: working on it
Crate trained: working on it
Heartworm Negative/Positive: negative
Spayed/Neutered: will be July 6, 2012
Micro chipped: July 6, 2012
Good with other dogs: still assessing but seems to play well with others
Good with cats: not tested yet
Good with children: not tested yet

Storm's training skills are lacking, so we will be working on things like leash training, mouthing and sit and stay. She came to us with LOTS of energy but being cooped up in a shelter can do that to a dog. She does not act like she has had much time in a home. We have high hopes for her since she is very smart and just needs to have some time to calm down and acclimate to her new surroundings. That is our assessment of her for the first 24 hrs. we have had her- check back for more updates about how great she is doing and her progress reports.

If you are interested in adopting Storm, please go to our website, copy, paste and complete our adoption application. Email the application to gsdrescuectx@yahoo.com.

Redford's Ready To Be Neutered!

I can’t believe it has been a whole MONTH since Mr. Redford has been with us! He amazes me everyday with his kindness.
He is a big, clumsy guy but with the sweetest heart. He could easily be bitter and untrusting from all the bad things he survived, but he is neither. He is happy for even a small head pat. He comes running if you mention his name. And if you think you can get away with ignoring him, he’ll make sure you know he’s there.
He is fully settled in at his foster home. He gets along with all of his foster siblings, and knows the daily routine like the back of his paw. Red is convinced that he’s a lap dog, and has to be reminded that only his head is lap-sized! He loves to chew up every toy he can find.

His favorite things to chew are tennis balls, or balls that make squeaky noises. Red still loves treats and knows where we keep the cookie jar; he makes sure that he gets some cookies before bed every night.

His fur is looking better every day, and he’s got lot of hair coming in on his once bare tummy, it almost seems like it appears overnight! The steroids worked wonders and his skin is no longer inflamed and irritated.

He loves having fresh water around all the time! He does this little hop-skip run when he’s happy, especially when he’s getting ready for dinner. He wags his tail all the time, because he’s so happy!

Sometimes I have to be careful around him because he’ll whip me with his tail! Red has such a funny sense of humor. He wants to play and be in my lap and just be close to people and his four-legged foster siblings.

Red is such a sweet, intelligent dog. He just wants to play and have his yummy food. He’s a beautiful dog on the inside, and it won’t be long until everyone can see it on the outside!
