🐾 JAYNE 🐾is back from helping students at VTI learn and is now ready to find her new home! We'd love for her to go to her forever home, but a loving foster home to teach her the ins and outs would be wonderful too!
Jayne is a 9-month-old retriever mix, weighing around 39lbs, and is completely vetted and ready to learn and live life to the fullest. If you think she looks a bit like May (another recently posted pup), you're correct - they're sisters! Let us know if you'd like to add an extra stocking to your mantle this Christmas that says JAYNE 😍

Rachel is as cool as a cucumber! She's easy-going and ready to be by your side on an adventure or lounging on the couch. This 8-year-old Catahoula Leopard Dog weighs around 50lbs and is up to date on vetting. Housetrained and crate trained, she knows her manners and loves car rides! She'd love to be your co-pilot on all the car rides. Rachel needs consistency and a calm home to become the best she can be, whether in foster or forever care, and craves a space away from the shelter environment. She would probably be best as an only dog, as she can be selective.

MOIRA will be returning from VTI and is looking for a home, FOSTER or FOREVER. This lady is sweet as can be, she loves to play with toys and to cuddle. She's super smart, learning commands quickly and is eager to please. At 3.5 years old, this Cattle Dog is just looking for the right fit. She's been with us for over a year and has been overlooked. Moira is dog selective, so a meet and greet with canine siblings would be required, and she doesn't like cats, so a house where she's the only animal would be best. She is crate trained and knows basic commands. Do you have room in your home and heart to help Moira get out of the shelter environment and on to a happy 2.0?er environment and on to a happy 2.0?

Feliz Navidad!!!
Lucinda (white Chi) & Wesley came into Rescue in 2013. What a couple of characters. When they heard Moe's voice they would "scream" until she picked them up & placed them in their basket on her desk,

UPDATE!!! NOVA HAS FOUND A HOME WITH ONE OF THE STUDENTS AT VET TECH!!

NOVA is a 3-year-old Cattle Dog who needs a temporary foster from December 19th through Jan 4th. She's one of our VTI pups who will be returning to help future vet techs hone their skills at the Vet Tech Institute at the beginning of next term in January. She is good with cats, dogs, all people, house-trained, crate-trained, and knows her manners. Can she hang out with you for the holidays? If you can help, please let us know!

Meg is a young female who was dumped at a restaurant after recently having had pups. She came to the rescue and went to VTI to help the Vet Tech students learn to care for their patients. She will be back at the rescue between terms, arriving on December 19th and returning January 4th. She is a Border Collie/Hound mix who weighs 40lbs. She is completely vetted and gets along with everyone, people of all ages, dogs, and cats. She walks well on a leash and is pretty much a low-key kind of girl. Do you have room for Miss Meg to stay with you over the holidays? Please let us know if you can help!

This is Lucinda, another of our VTI pups who will need a safe spot to stay between terms at the Vet Tech Institute. Arriving at TTR on Dec 19th and returning Jan 4th. Lucinda is a 40lb, 1-year-old Catahoula Cattle Dog. Not much is known about her; she came into the rescue and went to VTI within a few days. We do know she is crate-trained and walks well on a leash. She may need some instruction on manners, but the students have been interacting with her and think she's a sweetheart. Can Lucinda hang out with you over the winter break? If you can help, please let us know!
