New Lone Star Dogs March 1 – March 15
We’re always coming to you with our URGENT, DESPERATE dogs, but we do take in some that turn out to be simple and quickly adoptable. Here are a few we took in this week…
Otto Harris was a second dog in as many days that we were asked to take in because he had an eye problem. When we got him to the vet, we found that he had horrible mats over his eye, but little else. Very nice, sweet little lhasa apso boy.
Langston Burke is a highly adoptable little guy that had the misfortune to get a cold while at the shelter. Once that happens, the dog has to leave the shelter – either with us or…out the back door. We preferred this way and picked him up. No picture yet.
While we were picking up Langston, a horrible, nasty man came in and dropped off THIS ONE.
We named her Angel Burke. Ok, she was noted as a shih tzu mix – but I’m thinking more lhasa mix or even tibetan terrier. Anyone? Regardless, can you believe – 12 years old, horrible teeth, bad skin – dumped with no regard to the years and years of love given. All in one package. Her foster mom says her teeth are rotting in her head and she has several skin lesions that we’re going to have the vet look at. We may need some help with vetting once the doctor looks at her. Stay tuned.
Tex Ranger was found roaming in a neighborhood and it took them 5 days to catch him because he was so scared.
Handsome little guy, isn’t he? They kept him for 2 weeks with children ranging from 2 – 10 and he did great with them. He wasn’t exactly thrilled with one of their other dogs. He was shaking when I got him, but otherwise very sweet and cooperative. Amanda and I just had to laugh at the expression on his face. Tex is the perfect name for him. He only weighs 13 lbs and is at a good weight for him, he is just very macho. Beautiful little lhasa apso boy.
CeCe Turner – this is a weird one – sweet 5 month old shih tzu puppy. We agreed to take her in when we got an email that her owner had exhausted his money paying for vet bills and she was very sick. He stated that she was bleeding from her neck and back. Ok, I suspected demodex and a very itchy, hairless dog. When we got her and washed off the two places she was bleeding, we found a large laceration on her neck – looks like someone accidentally cut her or something, and another little spot on her back where she was scraped for skin mange. And, she has swollen allergy eyes. Our vet stitched her up and she’s recovering fine.
Above is Charo Worth- originally, we went to the shelter to pick up a male shih tzu with “a severely infected mouth.” When we got there, we found out that another rescue had picked him up. But, the shelter told us that this little girl was out of time THAT DAY and asked if we wanted her. Normally, we don’t get the young, healthy ones from the shelters, but since she was on the way to be euthanized, we got her. What a delight. How cute she is now that the mats are all over. Available in a few weeks. Looks lhasa apso with a tad of poodle mixed in.
Bijou Harris-while we were picking up Mr. Otto with the eye problem, they sprung this one on us too. Again, last day – it was us or else. No pics yet.
Elmo Oak is a total cutie. Not one like we normally get – young, happy, sweet. His problem was just mats and timing – he came into a DFW shelter and no one came to get him. We signed up for last call and he needed us. This is one gorgeous shih tzu.
Chaz Capers was turned into the shelter by his owner because he had allergies. Thats it. Yeasty ears, itchy, swollen eyes and itches. Unfortunately, shelters cannot and do not adopt out dogs with skin problems so his only chance was with us. Here’s his cute face…
That’s all folks!
