Fluffy
Fluffy and her sister Brownie are about 10 months old and pretty
shy and scared to be here. They were brought in because their
owners have "too many dogs" but they did say both of these girls
are "shy but sweet". Both of them share a kennel... and a bed...
to comfort each other. And neither one wanted to leave the
safety of their kennel for pictures. Once they get used to their
environment and the shelter staff that care for them each day,
they should start to open up and feel a little bit better... I
guess as well as could be expected for being in the shelter.
They really need to be in a home with people that love them and
will take the necessary time to make them feel special. Mention
Fluffy's ID number 072508.
Fluffy's adoption fee is $85. This includes first round of
vaccinations, bordetella vaccination, worming, flea treatment
and spay or neuter. All animals will be spayed or neutered
before going to their new home. Fluffy is at the Humane Society
of Southeast Texas, Beaumont , TX. You can phone (409) 833-0560
or (409) 722-0605
or
CONTACT. Fluffy's id number is 072508, please mention it
when contacting.
All references will be checked and a home visit may be done.

8 months old and hopes he will get another chance to find the

love and appreciate his friendliness, playfulness and
willingness to please. Is there someone out there for Kikko?

Bud
Bud is a boomerang rescue... he was an owner turnover as a puppy
and was placed in a home where he bonded with the adopters other
dogs. A job change hampered their bonding and class time, so
"Bud" has spent a lot of time with other dogs. Since they did
not click, the adopter decided to return him. He is extremely
good with other dogs (including small dogs), but will stand up
if challenged by another dog. He loves people -- however, he can
be shy with new people but warms up quickly. Bud can be
protective of his food with other dogs, and we are working on
that, but has no food issues that we have seen around people.
Bud is a very loving dog. His temperament is "soft" and it
doesn't take much to correct him from most bad behaviors. He is
crate trained, knows how to sit and down on command, shake paw
and walk on a loose leash. He is learning new behaviors almost
weekly using positive motivation and a reward mark word.
He is neutered, current on heart worm, flea and tick
preventative and all vaccinations were updated March 2008
Bud's adoption fee is $125, and an approved
Adoption Application
and contract is required. He is
located in Tulsa, Ok. Contact the
FOSTER
for more information.

Rex
Rex is a gorgeous boy, with a touch of merle and strikingly blue
eyes. He's an owner release due to family circumstances. He's 14
inches tall, but only 16 pounds, so he will need to gain a few
pounds. He came into our program quite thin and anemic from a
heavy tick infestation, so we'll be waiting for him to gain some
strength back before his neuter surgery. He's now UTD, and
thankfully tested HW negative. "Rexy" was temporarily fostered
by one of our clinic's technicians. His foster mom says that he
is very good with her kitten, and clearly enjoys the company of
his foster parents, sleeping close to them at night and
rejoicing whenever they arrive home from work each day. You can
see from his picture what a beautiful, smiley boy he is and how
happy he is to be in Rescue.
One of our most active and experienced volunteers is now
fostering Rex and he's doing very well at their home, getting
along with their resident shelties. It appears that, at some
point in his life, Rex suffered a traumatic injury to his left
eye resulting in a loss of sight in that eye. It doesn't slow
him down a bit!
Rex learns quickly and loves to be held and loved on. He is a
"people person" and seems eager to please. As many shelties can
be, Rex is rather vocal and barks happily for just about
everything. But with loving attention from his new forever home,
he should settle down nicely. If you think you would be a good
match for this beautiful and lovely canine, you can contact his
FOSTER
or if you'd like to meet Rex, please fill out an
Adoption Application.

Bosco
Bosco is a wonderful, mostly black border collie. He was bought
by a lady in our town about 3 years ago. She passed on and her
family didn't want the dog. I tried to care for him but I don't
have the time to spend with him. I am now retired and I travel
quite a bit. I can't take Bosco with me so I have to make
arrangements. He is very affectionate, adaptable andintelligent.
He is a healthy boy with a good coat. He has been neutered and
is current with all his shots. He is also housebroken. Bosco is
a good very smart boy devoted to staying home. A good watch dog.
He could benefit from training because he is excitable. Whenever
I have company, he meets the guests and does well with them. He
does jump up on them but he has never bitten anyone.
An adoption fee of $125.00 and an approved
Adoption Application
are required for adoption. All references will be checked and a
home visit may be done.
If you are looking for an active and sweet companion like Bosco,
please contact his
FOSTER.

Maddie
Maddie is a mostly black border collie/basset mix rescued from
traffic with a Lab. Try as we might, Maddie's owners could not
be found. Her companion was quickly adopted through Lab Rescue,
but no one seemed to want Maddie. She was shy and reluctant of
strangers, but in her foster home flourished to become the chief
herder of the labs. She loves to run and play and wrestle with
the youngest lab. Her favorite past times are sitting curled up
in your lap (she makes a great lap warmer), chewing bones, and
chasing the chocolate lab she lives with. Like all dogs who live
in the house, she is crate trained, house broken, and has basic
obedience (however stay is NOT in her vocabulary). Maddie is
looking for a forever home who is used to Border Collies and
their unique needs. She is very affectionate, intelligent, and
rides well in the car. Maddie's adoption is limited to the DFW
area.
An adoption fee of $150.00 and an approved
Adoption Application
are required for adoption. All references will be checked and a
home visit may be done.
If you place in your heart and home for a girl like this, please
contact
FOSTER.
