Brooke was adopted 3 years ago, but was returned back to the rescue because the owners were not home enough and did not have the tolerance or time to work with her shyness. Seeing the error of their ways, they came to the painful decision to give her back so that she could find a family with the time and patience to give her the love she needs.

Name: Brooke
Age: a young 4 1/2 - 5 years old
Gender: Female
Purebred or Mix: Mix
Houstrained: Yes
Cratetrained: Yes
Heartworm Negative/Positive: Negative
Spayed/Neutered: Yes
Micro chipped: Yes
Good with other dogs: Yes
Good with cats: Yes
Good with children: Yes

Today, Brooke is not the overly shy, nervous girl that initially came to her foster home. She is a sweet, happy but somewhat reserved girl; content to lay by the window or outside when her foster family is out, go for walks and loves car rides. She still startles easily at unexpected loud noises but comes quickly when called so she can be reassured that everything is all right. She also is hesitant when new people come to visit, but given time, usually comes up to them and gently asks for a pet by softly giving a lick on their hand or arm to get their attention.

In the few months that her foster family has had her, she has come a very long way. Before, her owners said that they couldn’t take her for walks because she was scared of everything, everybody and every noise. Now, she easily walks or jogs alongside her foster sister(s) and is eager to be outside and see the sights. Brooke loooooves to play with other dogs - big or small. She misses her rumpus time with the other foster dogs who lived there until they found their furever homes (her foster sisters are a little too old and don’t play so much anymore).

She is well mannered, good with all dogs and children, is housetrained, is not destructive, gently takes food from your hand and will sit patiently to get her treat. We have not figured out exactly what makes her cute little lazy ear stand up but it does sometimes. It is only one of her more endearing qualities.

Brookie-Brooke just needs a patient, gentle and loving owner who wants to lavish her with kindness and love... she is ready to give it in return!!

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!

Thelma Is Worthy!

Thelma's Update 8/23/09

This just in from a volunteer:
Thelma is a bit of a shy girl. She needs a bit of time to adjust to new people, but once she has adjusted she’ll be running to greet you! Thelma likes to have a quiet pet without too much craziness, but she always has fun playing with the other dogs. She is so sweet and loves to get attention. Thelma would love to give you all of her attention and love. She is truly a lover and just wants to give back the love she gets.

Thelma is a German shepherd mix of about 1 1/2 - 2 years of age. She comes, sits well and is leash trained. She plays in a friendly manor with cats and dogs. She had been running about 5 miles per day along side a bicycle with her sister Louise until her adopters returned them both because they were moving.

Thelma is current on all vaccinations is crate and house trained. She is a bit timid and seems to like women better than men.

Update On Cadet!

Update 8/13/09:

Cadet is a very sweet, beautiful dog. She LOVES to be at your feet. Her owner passed away and there was no one to care for her so she went to the shelter. Now that she is out and with her foster family she sailed through her heartworm treatment with no trouble at all- she is a tough girl!

She is a low to mid energy dog who is calm inside and has a nice energetic spirit outside. She LOVES to be groomed and get all the attention she can.

She was not an inside dog but has NEVER had an accident inside the house - we take her out for her potty break and she goes right away. She plays great with the other dog in the house but she is still learning to share toys and attention as she has never had a lot of either. She is highly trainable and eager to please, she has just never had anyone take the time with her.

She is learning basic obedience commands but has mastered the most useful, ones like come, sit, down, wait etc. She understands and responds quickly to a firm "no" and will come right away for a rub on her tummy. She walks great on a leash and only wants to please. She goes into her crate when told to and sleeps through the night with no problems.

She has great house manners. She has never torn up anything but is monitored by a stay at home mom during the day. She is a confident dog but has a little anxiety when left totally alone in the house so we have crated her each time we leave and are working with her on being more calm when alone. She responds well to training and is a VERY smart lady!

She is great with the kids in the foster house, letting them pull on her and hug and kiss her. She is a very loving dog. She loves to go for car rides and she rides very well with no whining or barking but has gotten sick two times, maybe it is was the way foster dad drove ; ). She does not bark excessively but will alert you if someone is coming with the typical one or two barks. She likes to meet new people and go on outings.

Cadet would be a great companion dog for even a beginner dog owner! She makes you smile when you look at her, her expressions are very sweet and she is ready for her forever family.

Cadet is a sweet female German Shepherd. Her foster mom has noticed that Cadet learns quickly. She is a little shy when you first approach her and will flatten to her stomach, but then she rolls over for a tummy rub.

She is learning to come when called and wags her tail when you call her. Cadet is good at waiting by the door to come in, instead of busting through it as soon as you open it. She's working on the sit and down commands with quick progress.

She loves to be near people and sit at their feet. Cadet likes to play with toys and is learning to go in her crate when told. She protests very little about being put in her crate and sleeps through the night perfectly. She likes to explore outside but loves the indoors best.

Cadet loves attention and is great with kids. Her foster family has a 1 year old shepherd and two kids (age 7 an 9). Cadet does great with the kids and she is learning how to play and interact appropriately with the other dog in the house.

New Photo of Calypso aka Callie

Calypso ~ aka Callie was covered in ticks and malnourished, in fact emaciated. She was dumped and barely surviving with her pups in a junk yard with 30-40 feral dogs. She is so very sweet and gentle. She has had a very rough life and seems so grateful and appreciative of any kindness and comfort she gets. She is heart worm positive and will be treated asap. I need to build her up and let her gain some weight first. When I got her she didn't know how to walk on a leash and was very insecure coming inside and walking on floors. Clearly had not done that before.

Calypso now loves coming in the house and enjoys the comfort of her crate with a fluffy quilt to lay on. She takes treats very gently and wants to please. She lays on a dog bed and acts like she is afraid to do anything that might get her in trouble, but is getting more relaxed every day and now just looks at the other dogs showing no sign of aggression to them. I think she has great potential to be rehabbed into a wonderful companion. You can see the joy in her in just having a safe comfortable place to lie down.

Callie is spayed, current on shots and micro chipped. It will be a while before she is well enough to be adopted, as needs that HW treatment. That will give time to build up her confidence and get her use to living the good life.

This is a big thing, this is an expensive series of treatments. Can you help, of course you can! Any amount will help. Please send your donation in check or money order form (no cash please) to:

German Shepherd Rescue Central Texas
PO Box 1578
Dripping Springs, TX 78620
