Duke3 - Duke was recently surrendered due to his owners health issues. He is 3 years old, up to date on all vaccinations, neutered, heartworm negative and on heartworm preventive. Duke gets along beautifully with other dogs and cats, his foster mom has a cat that Duke pays tug of war with a rousing game. He is house trained, crate trained and walks beautifully on a leash. He is much like most shelties in that he will bark and lunge at passing buses, trucks, trailers, motorcycles and most cars‚ he is probably telling them to slow down.

Shorty - Shorty is a mini-aussie that came into the Austin Animal Center and was released to us when no one came for him. He is 12 to 13 weeks old and has had some trauma to his left leg and pelvis, both are fractured and may need surgery.  He is in a wait and see with lots of crate rest status.  We hope his puppy body will heal without surgery.  He will be in our program until he is healed and neutered which may be the end of October.<

UPDATE: Shorty has healed from his broken leg and pelvis. He has been neutered and microchipped. Shorty is still working on his housetraining and now that he has been neutered, it should be easier for him. At 7 to 8 months Shorty is small, only about 10 pounds. He needs a home with playful dogs that are not too much bigger than him. He gets along well with other dogs his size or a bit larger. He loves taking walks and playing with toys. He does well with children and loves to snuggle./font>

UPDATE: Because of the holidays, Lolly didn’t start her treatment until January and will not be finished until at least the middle of March.

Brazos - Brazos was dumped in a family’s front yard in the Waco area. The owners of the home turned him over to us and asked that we find him a much better home than he had had. When he came in to us he was filthy, he had so much dust and mats on him he looked like he could be a blue merle, after a bath we found that he is actually a sable merle. He had sticks, twigs and leaves imbedded in his coat and some of his toenails were over 2 inches long. But even with all of this, Brazos had a beautiful sheltie spirit. He stood patiently for over an hour while we washed, brushed, trimmed and dried him. Brazos is 6 to 8 years old, neutered, and is up to date on all vaccinations, he has also had a recent dental. But sadly, the same people that dumped him in a strangers yard also did not provide heartworm preventive, Brazos is heartworm positive and will have to go thru heartworm treatment. Brazos is about 16 inches tall and weighs 59 pounds. He is currently on a low calorie diet and is exercising to lose the weight Brazos will not be available until January 2018. Brazos does walk beautifully on a leash and has excellent house manners.
