My name is Reyna and I am a Senior Citizen Lady of 12 years or so. I am a very pretty blond and white Lhasa Apso who has been in the Forever Foster Program for about 2 years now. I had been neglected for a very long time, until the wonderful Lone Star volunteers found me and started taking care of me.
This is what I looked like when I came to Lone Star.
My hair was short and I was not very clean. I also had some bows in my ears that a groomer had put in a long time ago and were forgotten until my new foster mom took them out. I was scared and wary as I had no idea what was happening to me. Little did I know that coming to Lone Star was the BEST thing that ever happened to me.
Take a look at me now.
As you can see by my current picture, I am very pretty and obviously well taken care of and loved.
Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I am a true little old lady who just wants a place to eat, sleep, and be lovingly cared for until it is my time to cross the Rainbow Bridge. I sleep a lot as naps are good for seniors! I never bark or beg for attention, but I do love it when I get to be the center of attention. I am so grateful that I have a place to live and a wonderful foster family to take care of me. I would love to find a forever home where someone would be willing to take care of me for the rest of my life, so that I can cross the bridge knowing that I brought someone joy and that I was loved.
I have some medical problems that make life a bit more difficult for me, but I will never complain. I have Cushing’s Disease, a hypo-thyroid condition, and elevated calcium levels to name a few. There are really no medical options for me as one fix will complicate another one of my problems.
My foster parents make sure that I am comfortable, warm, and loved. They also need to know when my time to leave earth is near so that I do not have to suffer unnecessarily. This may sound grave to some, but I know that it is the best thing my foster family can do for me. You see, they are giving me time and love, and putting my needs above all emotions they might have. That is truly a wonderful gift.

My name is Reno and I am in the Forever Foster program here at Lone Star. BUT, if someone special wanted to adopt me, that would be just fine with me!! I am a 10 year old Shih Tzu boy with black hair. My foster mom says that I am very sweet, very laid back, and that I am very much a gentleman. I will curl up next to her on the couch and get pets every chance I get. I LOVE to have my ears and chin scratched. And, I am particularly fond of tummy rubs. I also like to sleep next to my foster mom at night. She doesn’t need her electric blanket when I’m around!!
The reason that I am in the Forever Foster program is that I am a little older and I have some minor health problems. I have a heart murmur and I also have thyroid problems. I take medicine for my thyroid daily, just like many people do who have thyroid problems. These problems don’t stop me from enjoying life that’s for sure!! I am VERY good about taking my medicine every day as I know it is helping me.
I am a talker and I tend to “growl” a bit. Actually, I growl at just about everything, but usually I am just talking away. I even “purr” a bit and it sounds like a little low growl, but it just means that I am very content. My foster mom has gotten used to these funny sounds of mine. In spite of my “growliness”, my foster mom says that I am a gem at the groomer’s, or when I am getting a bath at home.
I do love my treats and my soft plush toys. I will play a bit in the evening with them, but since I am older, I tend to enjoy a quieter life. I like to go on car rides, but prefer to be in the back seat. I am also doggie door trained. If I am someplace that doesn’t have a doggie door, I let my foster mom know that I have to go out by patting her leg with my paw. All in all, I am a very good boy.
If you would like more information about me, please contact my foster mom at schatzie@cmaaccess.com You can also learn a bit more about me on my PetFinder page. Please consider me for adoption, or maybe you can help by a donation to our Forever Foster Program at Lone Star.
I am altered, up to date on all shots, heartworm negative and microchipped.

WOW!!! I just KNEW I was special, but to be the FIRST FEATURED FOREVER FOSTER, that’s really something.
My name is Rush and I am a 3 year old Lhasa Apso/Poodle mix. I have a wonderful forever foster home and I love my foster mom very much. She takes very good care of me and my other foster siblings. But she needs to take extra-special care of me as I have some special needs.
I have a serious heart defect that is being treated by the wonderful veterinarians at Texas A&M University. My foster mom works there and I am so glad of that because she is making sure I get the best possible care for the rest of my life. Unfortunately, the problem with my heart can’t be cured and I may only have 1 to 1½ years left to live.
Despite my physical problems I am an active little boy who has stolen my foster mom’s heart. As you can see by my picture I am quite cute. I also love people and am very friendly. But, my very favorite thing to do is cuddle with my foster mom - CONSTANTLY. In fact, if my foster mom doesn’t want me in her lap, or if she stops rubbing my belly, I will sulk. That always gets to her and I usually end up in her lap. I truly am the sweetest little boy!!!
