Barclay had only a few more minutes to live when we
rescued him from the shelter. He came to us without
knowing the joys of playing with toys or other puppy stuff.
His personality quickly came out, and he became a lively,
affectionate boy. Barclay now lives with his new family in
Central Texas.

Bentley is one of the coolest dogs we've ever had in
rescue. He was with us for over a year before finding a
family who really appreciates his laid back attitude. We
know he is very loved and cared for in his new home.

Emma was a scared, sick little puppy when she came to us
from the shelter. Over the next few days, her cold cleared
up, and we discovered her love of other dogs. She loves to
romp and play, and be cuddled by her people. She went to
live with a fireman and his wife, and her new friend, a little
black Pomeranian named Cole.

Kayla - Toys used to be Kayla's favorite things - now her
favorites are Megan and Hannah, her two girls. Kayla was
with us for over a year, and is now happily in her new
home. Her love of children and her gentle nature are
rewarded with lots of tender grooming and primping from
Megan, and squeals from Hannah. Her siblings Lynwood
and Cheyenne were also adopted from us in 2001.

Rain was destined to be destroyed at the shelter when we
swooped in to rescue her. Before we could even have her
spayed and get her out, though, we got a call from a lady
who wanted to adopt her. Rain went directly from the
shelter to her new home, and is now enjoying the good life
with the lady's Jack Russell Terrier.

Senta is a sweet, good-natured girl. She was rescued from
the shelter after being turned in by her previous owners.
Although, with her wonderful personality and striking looks,
it's hard to understand how anyone would give her up. She
was adopted by a very nice lady who previously adopted a
GSD mix from our group. Now Senta has an adopted
brother to play with, and a very caring adopted mother to
care for her.

Taz is an exuberant little girl, who loves people, and gives
great stand-up hugs. She has found a wonderful home with
a very nice man in Austin, who pampers and spoils her as
much as she likes. Taz is glad to be an inside dog, and to
have someone all to herself to love.

Zoe was one of six puppies we rescued from starvation
from a ranch in Bastrop County. (see 2001 Success
Stories to read about their mom Natasha). Zoe was the
'runt' of the litter and had a few more challenges than the
other puppies. She was so tiny, and it took her a while to
recover from her ordeal. Zoe recovered beautifully to
become a sweet, loving little puppy. She can't get enough
of being held and loved, and she is getting plenty of
attention in her new home. She has a built-in doggy pal,
Duke, and loves to go in and out of the cat door.

MoJo (left) was the biggest of the Bastrop Bunch of
puppies, so he needed a special home - and he got one.
His family wanted a dog that would be BIG, and MoJo
definitely fits the bill. He is ready to romp and play with his
two girls, and be loved on by the whole family. He even
likes the cat!

Bear, one of the Bastrop Bunch puppies, was adopted by a
family in Georgetown. The kids took to him right away, and
their little girl calls him "Little Bear" after one of her favorite
stories. Sam the dog also liked Bear from the start, and
"mothers" him, following him around the yard and leaving
kisses on his head.

Scout - A friend of ours just recently adopted Lizzie from you (see
Success stories 2005). We had recommended your rescue group to
her because of our success with Scout. My Husband and I adopted
Scout Sept. 2002. At the time he was 6 months old. Since then we
could not imagine our family with out him. He has one sister, a
beagle named Abbie, and they hit it off right away. We found that
Scout was very good at "corralling" the beagle and keeping her in
line. He is the most loving dog I have ever meet, he is a true snuggle
lush. He is very intelligent and has picked up everything we have
taught him. He knows his basic commands (sit, lay, speak) in sign
language and in German! Everyday we think to ourselves...who in
their right mind would of abandoned this guy? Scout and Abbie
have a large back yard with a doggie door so they run in and out of
the house as they please. They will lay out and sun until they get too
hot and come in and fall asleep on the cool kitchen tile. We come
home everyday for lunch to eat with them, and almost every night we
take a long walk together in the piney woods here in Bastrop. Scouts
hobbies include camping, taunting his sister with squeaky toys,
sneaking on the bed in the middle of the night, and giving kisses.
One day we hope to rescue another dog from you, or maybe even
become a foster family. I would and did recommend you for anyone
wishing to add joy to their lives with a dog. Thank you for everything
you do, you are a true hero, and you helped complete our family.
