Millie
Meet Millie, a puppy with true rockstar potential. With her
go-go-go attitude and astonishingly quick learning curve, she
must be a Border Collie in disguise. As for Millie's actual
breed? Your guess is as good as ours, so we're going with Staffy.
Millie has a willingness to try anything and give it her all.
Give her a task and, with her laser focus, she will quickly
figure it out. She's been introduced to the clicker and she is
an absolute joy to work with during training sessions. If she
had opposable thumbs, we'd be in big trouble!
Millie is extremely treat motivated and has mastered the
food-dispensing dog puzzles. She is crate-trained and, with
supervision appropriate for a dog her age, housebroken as well.
She loves to shake the stuffing out of her squeaky toys, play
tug and retrieve her ball. Although she does have an off-switch,
especially if peanut butter filled Kongs are involved, if ever
there were a dog who needed to be challenged, it's Millie.
Millie is very social and enjoys the company of other dogs and
people of all ages. She is leash-trained and walks are another
favorite of hers. She is a quiet little car traveler as well.
Millie requires daily exercise- of both her mind and her body.
If Millie is the dog sport partner for whom you've been
searching, please apply to adopt her.
Applications can be found at
Animal
Rescue Klub or you may send a message to her
FOSTER.
Millie's adoption donation is $150.

Dakota
Dakota is from a large litter of mostly boys. He is completely
vaccinated and he's neutered. He's also been taking monthly
heartworm preventative since he was 3 months old. Dakota has the
most adorable personality ever!!! With so much charm and good
looks, he's sure to catch someone's eye.... if only it would
happen soon. You see, Dakota has been in foster care since he
was just under 6 weeks old. A slow economy coupled with the fact
that he's a big, black dog have all worked against Dakota and
his brothers. Take a few minutes to google "big black dog
syndrome" and learn the plight of these often overlooked dogs.
The statistics of black dogs being euthanized in shelters across
America are staggering. Black dogs just don't get adopted, plain
and simple.
Dakota is quite the scholar. He learns things quickly and makes
sure the rest of us stick to the routine. He mastered the doggie
door in an instant and helped us teach everybody else how to use
it. He loves it because he really enjoys playing in the
backyard, but comes back inside when he's ready for a nap or a
treat. He loves to go for walks and meet new people. Dakota
sleeps in his crate at night and likes to have his bone in there
with him too, especially if it has a little cheese in it!! To
say that Dakota is the lively one of the bunch may be an
understatement. As a pup, he'd wait until everyone else was
settled in for a nap and then he'd decide to march on top of the
dog pile and methodically choose whose ears to pull or whose
tail to tug. It was simply sport to him!! And rest assured, he
still has that same playful nature. Dakota is a happy dog and
loves the company of people of all ages and also other dogs. If
you're looking for a shy dog, Dakota's not for you. But if you
want a playful, smart and devoted friend, he's a great choice.
Dakota won't disappoint!
Dakota and Hank (listed below) are brothers.
If you'd like to schedule an appointment to meet Dakota, please

Hank
HANDSOME HANK is what we call him around here, and we sure think
his name suits him!! He's current on his vaccinations, neutered,
and has been taking monthly heartworm preventative since he was
3 months old. Hank and his siblings were rescued as tiny pups
during the hot Texas summer with temperatures reaching 106
degrees. They were all brought to safety and have been in foster
care awaiting adoption ever since. A poor economy has slowed
adoption rates nationwide, but Hank's still hopeful.... he knows
his day will come.
Hank is a very striking boy. He's black with beautiful white
stockings on his front and back feet. He also has a gorgeous
white blaze on his chin and chest, and white on the very tip of
his always wagging tail!! Everywhere we go, people comment on
his rugged good looks... perhaps he's the George Clooney of the
dog world.
Hank is still a young dog that's ready to make his mark on the
world. He's quite smart and soooo eager to please. Hank enjoys
playing chase with his brothers and retrieving his favorite
ball. In the afternoons, Hank and his brothers enjoy a leisurely
game of good old fashioned "fetch". One toss of the ball and
they're all running to see who can get to it first. When Hank
gets the ball, he very quickly brings it back to you in hopes
that you'll continue to toss it for them. He seems to never tire
of the competition, however he's always a good sport. Hank also
enjoys going for walks and taking in the view. Be careful
though, he's quite strong!! Hank uses a doggie door and enjoys
the freedom of being both inside and outside. He's used to
sleeping in his crate at night, along with his favorite bone
stuffed with cheese. Hank gets along great with people of all
ages and other dogs, so he's hopeful that one day he'll finally
get that FOREVER HOME he so deserves!!
Hank and Dakota (listed above) are brothers.
To audition to meet Hank or for any questions about our adoption
process, please contact Project Pawz at (903) 874-3722 or via

Kaylee
Kaylee was pulled from a shelter extremely sick and
under-weight. She was treated for severe upper respiratory
problems and kennel cough. She also had heartworms. She is being
fostered with other Border Collies and is now gaining her health
and strength back. Her foster mom still cries when she remembers
the day she finally had the strength to wag her tail!!!
Kaylee appeared to have had a litter before being picked up as a
stray. She is now finishing her heartworm treatment and is
healthy and strong. As Kaylee has improved, she has shown how
she loves to play ball and tug. She walks well on a leash and
likes to ride in the car. She is crate-trained and house-broken.
She settles nicely and loves to chew on bones and toys. She gets
along with all the dogs in her foster home, but she is way too
interested to be in a home with cats, unless they love to play
chase with a Border Collie.
Kaylee needs a special family to adopt her and keep her healthy
the rest of her life. A home with kids would be fine, as long as
they are over 8 years old. Kaylee is up to date on all her
shots, micro-chipped, and will soon be completely healthy. A
$200 adoption donation will be asked to help off-set her high
medical bills. Please contact
FOSTER
should you want to apply for this sweet young lady. A home
visit will be done.

Lizbeth/Lizzy
This beautiful month old girl was a bit too over-spirited for
her owners and was surrendered to the city shelter. All it took
was a quick meeting with an ABC volunteer and she was a shoe in
for a great adoptable Border Collie. Lizzy is very smart, sweet,
and has an amazing recall! The first ride in the car from the
shelter she was given names to choose from, since she had no
clue about her original name, and quickly her ears perked up
when called Lizbeth …aka Lizzy. Lizbeth is such a good girl with
children, cats, other dogs, and people. She loves to hug on you
and cuddle on the bed when allowed. She is potty trained, likes
her crate, and is learning how to not walk in circles on the
leash.
Lizzy is up to date on all shots, spayed, chipped, HW negative,
and on HW preventative. An ideal home for her is a good strong
high prey drive home with lot's of fun exercise. She would love
to have a canine or feline sibling and most definitely needs a
crew to play with regularly at the park in her neighborhood, but
no bossy dogs please it causes her to do submissive peeing. If
you are looking for a flyball, agility, obedience, high energy
girl Lizbeth is for you!
Lizzy is being fostered in the Houston area. Should you want to
apply for this great girl, please
contact
FOSTER
for an
Adoption Application.
Her adoption donation is $250 and a home visit will be done.

Twister
Let's get set....ready. ....GO! This is Twister, a beautiful and
petite Border Collie that is HW negative, spayed, UTD on her
vaccines and ready to rumble! Why is Houston Collie Rescue
finding a home for this sweet girl? Twister was found in a
shelter with a Collie and the kind people who transported the
Collie to HCR were desparate to help out this incredible Border
Collie. Twister is so sweet and although she does have all of
those incredible characteristics of a Border Collie, she also
has an 'off' switch and loves to chill out and get as many tummy
rubs as she can. She loves to chase and play with her foster
brothers and sisters, is extremely alert, and adorable. Twister
is crate trained, she can 'sit' and 'down' and when you begin to
rub her, her legs give out and her eyes close. If you need some
new excitement in your home, Twister is YOUR GIRL!
Twister is living up to her name, ready for action when it comes
her way. Unfortunately, she has developed a little bit of a lack
in trust in children she doesn't know. 'Twist' is responding to
her training and her foster home is working on helping her feel
more comfortable around all kids. At this time, a home with
young children isn't advisable, unless it's an experienced
'training' home.
Please contact Twister's
FOSTER with any additional information you need. An
Adoption Application
and home visit will need to be completed for adoption.
