Leah - was adopted by her foster parents who
already had three white GSDs - all rescues.
Leah, was one of the three puppies rescued
from Houston. Of the three, Leah needed the
most socialization. She was timid around people,
but really came out of her shell around the other
three big dogs and in a store full of people
coming and going all the time. In the process,
her foster family fell in love with her and couldn't
bear to give her up.

Lola (formerly Farah) is one lucky dog. She was
adopted by a lady who drove six hours just to
see her. Her new Mom adores her and plans to
take her to work. Here's some initial emails from
her:
Just wanted to let you know how Lola's first night
home alone went. I got home from work she was
fine. House was fine. She mastered the doggy
door today, so she is in heaven... I took her on
her first walk around the block this morning, did
real well, She pulled some, once I got her in the
sit position and went into a heel she did allot
better. It won't take her long to remember the
training....Thanks again !!!!!!! for Lola, she is the best. This
doggy door and her are a riot... she'll go in and out about 4-5
times in a row, it's a game to her. She thinks she's "all that"
and she is.

Terra (upper left) is a beautiful, pure-bred who
was adopted by a very nice man. While he was
getting to know Terra, he met one of Terra's
foster sisters, Mae. Because of Mae's wonderful
personality he decided to foster her, and several
months later decided to also adopt her. .Now
Terra Lynn and Mae Belle (new middle names
from their new Daddy's niece) have a wonderful
home together. Mae is the "cuddle dog"
lounging on the bed, always wanting to have her
tummy petted while Terra is "protector" -
affectionate and with a job to do. Every night
she checks out each window to make sure all is
well before settling in to bed.

Mandy - was found at Fort Hood running loose
on the base. She is doing great and has settled
into her new home and is learning to live with the
cat.
|
|
|
Nelson - is a special boy who apparently had a
rough start in life. He was very afraid of humans
but never showed aggression nor attempted to
bite anyone. He made major progress while in
rescue and now is in a home where he adores
his foster Mom and continues to become more
and more outgoing.

Owen is doing wonderfully in his new home.
Here is part of a letter from his new Mom:
I just wanted to send you a quick note to let you
know that the children and I are so happy with
Owen and he seems very happy with us. He's
getting settled in with us and is doing great! He
hasn't had any accidents in the house and just
loves to run around the yard with my son. He
wakes my daughter up in the morning by
jumping on her bed and licking her. Sunday
night he fell asleep on the couch and I went to
bed. He woke me up at midnight whining so now
he sleeps on my bed at the foot of it. Last night
he slept through the whole night with me. He is
eating good and loves to run in the utility room
and steal socks from my laundry basket. We just
love him and are grateful for letting us adopt him!
... Owen is exactly the dog I had hoped to get.
Thank you very much.
Middle picture - Owen camping. From Owen's
adopter: I thought you might like some pictures of
Owen on his first camping trip! Maybe you can
forward them to Charlie's new mom so she can see
how much they look alike! :-) He was really good on
the trip and had a great time!He enjoyed barking
at the ducks and the deer. As you can tell from the
one picture, he was very tired out on the way home.
He's doing really well. I am trying to buy a farm
house out in Bell Springs Ranches on 5 acres so
Owen will have lots of room to run and roam.

Sally - was pulled from a kill shelter. At first she
had a problem with submissive peeing and an
overly-rambucious nature. She blossumed into
a loving companion. Sally has been adopted by
a loving family in San Antonio and Is very happy.
Miss Sally goes everywhere with her new dad
and the whole family is delighted with her love of
play and adventure.

Sasha and Ben - met here in rescue and became
good play buddies. They got lucky and were
adopted together.

Zoe - (Formerly Sonar) was chosen far sooner than
her foster mom could have anticipated! A woman in
Austin insisted that she was an exact replica of her
pet that her ex-husband won custody of in divorce
court. Sonar, a sad and despondent little girl from
TLAC, helped fill someones void and made lifelong
friends too!
Update January, 2006: our dog 'Sonar" now, "Zoe" is
doing great. She took training last spring and walks great on
a leash. We love her a lot and appreciate you rescuing her
from the pound. She is about 50 lbs and pretty full size,
although skinny. She gets along with my old dog fine now.....
