Description:
Ruthie was picked up from a site
with a lot of feral dogs. She was the only one who came up to the people and
wanted attention. Looking closer at Ruthie, you could see a long scrape on
her leg. She was asking for help. Ruthie is healing up quickly and gaining
weight with the regular food and care she's getting in her foster home.
Update: Ruthie is ready for a loving, forever
home. She's going to be medium-sized. See

Description:
Update June 2008: A
very special family came along that fell in love with Popeye. Even though
Popeye was not officially up for adoption, this family was able to do
whatever Popeye needed to make him a part of their family and make him
happy. Slowly and gently, Popeye was transitioned to their home. And Popeye
fell in love with his new family. He's happy, healthy and has his very own
family. A wonderful, fairy-tale ending to Popeye's story!
Update Dec 2007: Popeye's
abuser was found guilty! He was sentenced
to 30 days in prison, has to pay the court $500 and has to pay Tbar the $600
initial vet bill that we paid. He also has to go to a mental health
evaluation and anger management classes. Justice for Popeye!

T-Bar Name: Petey |
T-Bar Number: D240 |
Weight: 65
lbs |

Sex: Neutered
Boy |
Age on 5/2007: 1.5 yrs |
|
Breed: American
Staffordshire Terrier |
|
Color:
White and Brown |
| ADOPTED
- Thank You! |
Location: Austin, Texas |
|
Description: Petey
was lost with no hope in sight. He wasn't sure how he ended up lost. He was
out with his family, chasing after a ball; and when he brought it back, they
were gone. He searched and searched - what kind of hide and seek was this?
After weeks of looking, Petey laid down and gave up. A kind stranger found
him - Petey was terribly thin. The stranger looked into his eyes and
connected with Petey's lost soul. He took Petey home with him and gave him a
warm, safe space to sleep and food to fill his belly. Since the kind
stranger agreed to foster Petey, he was accepted into True Blue Animal
Rescue (TBAR) so he could find his forever home. This striking, white and
black 1-2 year old American Staffordshire Terrier, loves to play and run.
And if you want a cuddle dog, Petey's your dog! He'll curl up with you and
sleep with his head in your lap. Petey would love to be your 'only child',
so he can have all the attention. He comes already neutered and current on
his vaccinations. See

T-Bar Name: Boone |
T-Bar Number: D283 |
Weight: 25 lbs |

Sex: Neutered Boy |

Breed: Beagle
/ Hound Mix CRATE-TRAINED/HOUSEBROKEN |
|
Color:
Orange with Brown and White Patches |
| ADOPTED
- Thank you!
|
Location: Brenham, Texas |
|
Description: Boone was found on the side
of the road almost dead when he was saved. He had been at a vets office
since April 2007 trying to find a home. TBAR was able to take him in and will
find him his forever home. Boone is crate trained / house broken
and is a sweetheart. He loves to play with other dogs, even little
ones. He's small, the size of a beagle or sheltie.
Boone was adopted by a great family in
Burton. They have a huge fenced yard and two sweet dogs for Boone to play
with, one elderly Australian Shepherd and a really sweet 5 yr old
that looks like a giant rat terrier! He is going to be VERY happy there. He
has a 16 yr old girl that just loves him and a 21 yr old boy to run and play
with, in addition to a great mom and dad !
Update from Boone's forever home: Just
wanted to let you know that Boone is a wonderful dog (but you already knew
that). He acts like he has lived here all of his life. He and
Thor play all of the time. They all have their own Kongs now. Even old
Snickers seems livelier and plays more-not only did we help him but he has
helped us. We love him very much and I can't imagine life without him know.
We appreciate all that you do for so many animals in need.

From Maya's new Mom: "Maya
is doing great!! I really feel like we clicked. So far we have gone on
several car rides, taken a bath (not her favorite thing to do), played with
little kids, and exposed to other dogs and cats. I’m amazed at her ease
with all the new situations. While I’m gone during the day she resides on
my bed and seems quite at home. Thank you so much for taking this great dog
in. I really lucky to have found her!!"

Breed: Pointer / Great
Pyrenees CRATE-TRAINED; HOUSEBROKEN |
|
Color:
White with tan patches on his
ears; one blue eye and one brown eye |
| ADOPTED
- Thank You! |
Location: Caldwell, Texas |
|
Description: Saving
the best for last! Bravo Blue is one of eight puppies that were
born unwanted. The
result of an accidental meeting between neighbors' un-neutered and un-spayed
dogs. Bravo is extra sweet
and quite calm for a 6 month old puppy; maybe he's trying to make up
for being a mistake. All of his siblings have been adopted; and
their new families rave about how smart they are! Bravo
is the last one left. He is
a beautiful, young Pointer mix with
one blue eye and one brown eye and a
big grin. He looks a lot
like his mom and will grow into a
beautiful bird dog and be a wonderful family dog and ranch dog. Some
of his brothers and sisters look
more like dad, a
Great Pyrenees.

Golden Retriever/ Irish Setter |
|
Color:
Red Orange |
| ADOPTED
- Thank You! |
Location:
Washington, Texas |

Description:
Yankee wandered up to a TBAR
member's house looking for some food. He's obviously been someone's house
pet, but no one has claimed him. Yankee had several cysts which have been
removed. He will be in rehab until the stitches come out. He's neutered,
vaccinated, dewormed and ready to find a home in a couple weeks. He is a
VERY nice dog. Housebroke ( he doesn't mess his kennel) comes, sits, stays
and walks well on a leash. Being an older dog, he's mellow and won't require
a 15 year commitment like other dogs.

Description: Oreo is well-trained:
sits on command, housebroken, playful with dogs and loves all people. She
loves to have her belly rubbed, is lovable, loyal and very smart. Like all
border collies, Oreo needs attention and lots of room to run. The cats and
small animals don't like Oreo trying to 'herd' them, so Oreo would do better
in a home with no small pets.

Black with white heart on chest and one
white-tipped paw |
| ADOPTED
- Thank you! |
Location: Cameron, Texas |
|
Description: Tex and Corky act like
brothers (even though they're not) because they were both babies when they
were dumped in the country to fend for them selves. They relied on each
other to survive. Both dogs are house broken, leash trained, good with kids
and OK with cats and other dogs. Tex is a rowdy spirit with an all lab
personality. Everything is a game - play, play, play; and if it involves
water and running, he is in heaven.

T-Bar
Name: Shep |
T-Bar
Number: D211 |
Weight:
55 lbs |
| Sex:
Neutered
Male |
Age
on 12/2006: 11
years |
| Breed:
German Shepherd |
| Color:
black and tan |
| ADOPTED
- Thank You! |
Location:
College Station, Texas |
Description: Shep
isn't for every body. In fact, Shep isn't the dog most people would
want. Only a very special kind of heart will say yes to Shep.
Shep's story started out all right, but took a sad turn...Having been
loyal to his family for over 11 years, Shep's loyalty was repaid by
being dumped in the woods of Somerville. He lost alot of weight trying
to find his way home. Wandering the woods, he got caught in a trap but
bravely kept looking for home even with a badly damaged toe (which had
to be amputated). As if that's not sad enough, Shep has a terminal
case of heartworms*. So one way or another, Shep has only a couple of
years left -
With good food and loving, Shep will again become a striking black and
tan German Shepherd. He's a gentle, calm-natured dog; and he seems to
appreciate the 2nd chance he's getting. He gets along well with other
dogs too. He's neutered and had all his shots.
So you see, Shep needs a very special person with a big, loving heart
that can give this stately gentleman the glorious, loving retirement
he so deserves.
There's no long term commitment of 15+ years like with most dogs; just a
rewarding, short-term love affair with Shep.
"We cannot do great things on this Earth, only small things with
great love."
- Mother Theresa
