UPDATE- Thank you all for your help! These puppies have been trapped. Unfortunately they are not sheepdogs so TXOESR cannot take them but they are going to a n all breed rescue in Houston.

TXOESR looking for emergency assistance in rescuing stray OES west of Waco, TX!!!!

We are looking to connect volunteers to assist Texas OES Rescue with saving 3 strays abandoned in the Gatesville, TX (west of the Waco area). Originally there appeared to be 6 strays but TXOESR is being told there are now 3 dogs left to be rescued. You may have seen this also from other Facebook posts. TXOESR is not sure if or when all of these pups have been rescued.

TXOESR has no information on these OES strays but we’re looking for multiple folks to try and retrieve and home these dogs for the immediate future to make sure they are taken care of.

If you are near Waco, TX and can assist and save a rescue pup, please notify us by contacting TXOESR at email address:

[email protected]

---- please copy [email protected] also.

Unfortunately, local authorities declined to aid in holding these pups. TXOESR is not aware of the demeanor or health of these strays, so just be aware and be careful. We want you and the pups safe is all we’re looking for.

If you can help, please let us know.

Thanks….TXOESR

Look who is adopted….

Dudley!!

In March 2026, Dudley was found as a stray in Amarillo, TX. Marla Evans contacted TXOESR to see if we could help with this rescue and she volunteered to foster in the short-term. After his 3-day-hold at the Amarillo Shelter, the Evans family (Marla, Mike, Dixie and Duncan – two beardies) provided a safe place, needed care and lots of love for this wonderful guy. With the terrible condition Dudley was in (both health and groom), his personality was easy-going, loving and gentle. After a couple of weeks of decompressing and healing, Marla transported Dudley to a new foster family in Dallas, TX.

In Dallas, Joanna Shuckman’s family welcomed Dudley to his new foster home in early April and TXOESR was eventually able to get a full workup on Dudley’s health issues. And with a lot of vet visits, love, care, medications, more love, and more care – Dudley has now become such a wonderful and happy OES rescue.

In early May, TXOESR received an adoption application for an OES from the Beam family located in Boone, NC. They had recently lost a German Sheperd family member and were looking for a friend for their OES, Daisy. They were very interested in Dudley after seeing pictures and videos of him with the two foster families and their pets.

So, Heather, Kenneth and Daisy set up for the long haul for a meet-and-greet to hopefully adopt OES Dudley.

The meet-and-greet went better than expected for ALL!! Heather & Kenneth fell in love immediately and Daisy and Dudley developed a fondness for each other soon after. This is why we do “rescue”!

Dudley is now in the Tar Heel State – loving life and loving being with his new family – the Beams! And from what we’re told, the Beam family could not be happier having Dudley as a new member!!

A BIG THANK YOU! to two wonderful fosters – Marla and Joanna – who worked so hard to give Dudley the love and care he needed and deserved! Thank you from Dudley and TXOESR!

Best Wishes…
TXOESR

Look who is adopted….

Fletcher!!

In March 2026, Fletcher was surrendered to TXOESR with the name “puppy’ by owners who had to relocate and could not keep him in their new living arrangements. Luckily, we were able to get him into one of our TXOESR foster homes in San Antonio where he has been cared for and loved by the Ashley-Corely family. And with the love and care of Calli’s family, Fletcher grew into a wonderful, healthy and happy pup!!

After several months, a TXOESR previous adopter from 2018, was looking to fill the OES void they had after Walter (a previous TXOESR OES rescue) passed a few years ago. Stacey and Scott were interested in Fletcher and made plans for adoption in late June. Fletcher is now living with his new Blankenship family in Lees Summit, MO.

The walks, play time, dog parks are all now part of his daily life, and he is being loved to the “max” and returning as much! Now Fletcher is living life large in the “Show Me State”!!

Best Wishes to the Blankenship Family & Fletcher!!
