New year, new family! 🎉

Sam came into our rescue over the holiday because his previous owner was in a bad situation and needed to rehome his dogs. Sam’s owner searched for someone who could help but couldn’t find any so he came to the conclusion the only thing he could do was shoot the dogs on his own to avoid them having a worse outcome on the street. Our city is overwhelmed with dogs and it is hard to find help right now, so we do understand why Sams owner felt hopeless and defeated.

We had a foster for Sam so we took him in and today his fosters officially decided they’re foster failing! We are so thankful to have such a solid group of people around us who will help in these urgent situations. Sam is in great hands with the best owners and will be spending his summers on the boat with his new dad!

Congratulations and Happy New Years Sam! 🥳💛

We are thrilled to have gotten this update of Lucas living his best life! 🍂🤎😌

Lucas, to no fault of his own, didn’t always get along with other dogs, so we found it hard to place him here in Houston. The Underdog Connection stepped up and found the most loving home for him in Vermont where he is given the love & attention he deserves!

As many of you know, we unfortunately had to make the decision to essentially close intake, and we thank you all for the continued support and patience while we try to place the last dogs in our care. It hurt us deeply to have to close our doors knowing the immense need that dogs here in Houston have. But, we knew it wouldn’t be fair for our last few dogs to not have our full attention and have every penny go to the bills we owe.

So, who do we have left?

Sadly, Maxine recently passed away due to cancer and we were never successful in finding her a home 😞 So We currently have Marco, Homer, Rex and Chyna left in our care and desperately hope we can find them homes as soon so we can.

We know the holidays can be financially tough as you prepare to host, gift and give your loved ones memories they’ll cherish forever, but even $10 from 10 people adds up to $100, which gets us further than you know.

Whether you monetarily contribute to Blue River or continue to share our posts, we recognize and value every ounce and form of support we get 💙

Meet Gizmo 🖤⚡️
(One week foster needed)

Friday we received a call about a scared pup who would not leave someone’s porch. He had been in the area for days without food or water and it has been so hot, he needed help asap. A volunteer happened to be in the area and scooped him up! He was very scared and hesitant to get in the car at first but now he has completely opened up. Gizmo is a little ball of energy and so loving! He loves other dogs, running laps in the yard and he does great in his kennel at nignt!

Gizmo will be getting his vaccines and neuter this Thursday and if he is heart worm negative he will be transporting with our friends at Animal Rescue Network of New England! 🙌

‼️Transport would be leaving next Thursday so we are hoping to find a one week foster for gizmo! Please let us know if you can help 🙏

Adopt Rex 😊🩵

Good with adults: Yes
Good with kids: Yes
Good with dogs: No
Good with cats: No
House trained: Yes
Crate trained: Yes
Crate aggressive: No
Food aggressive: No
Leash trained: Yes
Energy level: Medium
Suitable for an apartment: Yes
Can be handled: Yes
Barker: NoRex is a GEM! He has SO MUCH love to give, along with unending and unstoppable kisses. He is very people friendly. He would need to be your only pet, but don’t let that stop you from reading further.

Rex’s Past: Rex has had a hard life and no love for most of it. Adopted young from the city shelter, he was returned after 2 years because the owner did not want to pay a fine for having him on a chain in the yard at all times. Devoid of socialisation, training, and love for all but a few months of his life, Rex proves, yet again, that no one knows forgiveness and unconditional love like a dog does. He was saved from the shelter’s euthanasia list, stayed in boarding for 7 months, and finally came to us in Feb 2023. In his time with us, he has met several friends of ours and stolen everyone’s heart!

Rex’s Present: Rex knows sit and down, is doing great with “Place”. He is crate and potty trained, is very food motivated and learns quickly. He is a very happy, low-maintenance boy who enjoys some activity, as well as snoozing while we work during the day.

Rex has recently been to a 3-week board and train and has done very well. We are happy to provide a recommendation from his trainer.

Rex’s Future: Rex is ready for his own family and deserves a very loving home. He comes with lifetime training support. His trainer will help his adoptive family with tools they may need to continue to help Rex succeed.
Are you ready to give Rex a home?

Chyna said please please please someone foster me 😓

We would appreciate even a two week foster so we can have more time to figure out a long term plan for her!

From chynas current short term foster:
“She is quite as can be in the kennel. She walks in when told. Might need a little push or treats. But she is kenneled with breaks and she doesn’t make a peep, And she is potty trained. Goes everytime we step outside.”

(Cute videos posted in the comments)

We really don’t want Chyna to have to go back to boarding, she’s been doing so well with her current foster!

Please share this post so we can find a plan for this pretty girl!

$5 Friday for Chyna girl! 🩷

Chyna was rescued from BARCs euthanasia list after being turned into BARC as a euth request by her owners 🙄. They put on her papers that the reason for euth request was she was hit by a car a long time ago and they didn’t feel like taking her to the vet. Since tagging Chyna she has bounced from house to house. She has also spent the majority of her time in boarding in between those times. We really need a foster for Chyna so we can get her moving and into the perfect home!! She currently has a temporary foster who will hold onto her until next week and bring her to the vet for a limp she has.

Any donations towards chynas vet costs would be greatly appreciated because we have been struggling financially this past year 🙁

Maxine originally went into the vet today for updated vaccines and a heart worm test but we ended up leaving with no vaccines and bad news 😓.

The vet believes Maxine has lymphoma and is now hospice. We knew with her age and high heart worm positive status her time was most likely limited but believed she still had a chance to find her forever home. Unfortunately, with this diagnosis we know it is extremely unlikely Maxine will be adopted so now we are hoping someone has space in their home, temporarily, for this sweet girl to live out her final days. The boarding facility she’s currently at is providing a homelike environment and keeping her spoiled and comfortable but she needs to be in a home. After her vet visit she went to McDonald’s and enjoyed a well deserved hamburger and French fries. She is currently still a very happy, hungry girl so we do not have to make any hard decisions yet.

Please keep Maxine in your thoughts and prayers, she has not had an easy life and we were hoping for a better outcome than this for her. Thank you to all who have donated to Maxine over the past year and who have shared her posts. 🙏🩷

🧸Wishlist Wednesday for Maxine!💖

It has almost been exactly one year since we rescued Maxine from BARCs euthanasia list. Despite our efforts to find her a foster or adopter she has had 0 interest. We know her age, breed and low tolerance for other dogs are most likely the reason for this but those who know Maxine know she still deserves a chance! She will be going to the vet today to get her vaccines updated and we are really hoping to hear she is no longer heartworm positive 🤞.

Maxines boarding facility could really use help with supplies for Maxine so we have made an Amazon wishlist! All items will be shipped directly to Maxine. Her food is the most important item on the list but of course she would love comfy blankets or anything else you decide to send!
