That Crazy Dog lady

‼️‼️Fosters urgently needed ‼️‼️

And it will be a longer term thing.

Molly and Teddy were the 2 adult dogs starving at the Kilgore substation.

I do not do adult dogs for multiple reasons.

1) nobody wants to foster that long
2) it’s not as easy to send them to partners
3) we can’t afford the vetting that goes along with the health issues of older stray dog, mainly heartworms.

But a foster stepped up in the comments. Was given all of the information ahead of time about the logistics of fostering adults and proceeded to pick them up anyways.

Of course the were heartworm positive like I assumed they would be. But we were willing to stick it out and see it though. Raising funds for heartworm treatment however we had to. Supporting the foster however they had to. Because we asked for a foster. We assisted in their rescue.

The foster couldn’t commit long term after all and surrendered them to the Longview Shelter.

I wasn’t given a chance to find a new foster before that was done.

Now these pups are in danger. That means what you think it means. The shelter is and stays full. They don’t turn dogs away from being safe like other shelters in our area. They don’t let them die painful deaths in the streets.

But the reality is they have to get out one way or another. They need to be adopted, or rescued with a foster in place. Or they may not make it out.

Don’t be mad at the shelters. Be mad at irresponsible Texans.

These sweet pups have a new rescue offer, to go to Canada after they’ve been treated for heartworms and have been adopted. The burden of placing them has been taken off our organization. But we will support this new rescue with the heartworm treatment as much as possible.

Can you foster them for the amazing Susy Kennedy Rosonke?

You will have both of us in your corner.

My heart is broken that these pups were rescued and had hope and now are in danger.

Please foster them if you can!

My sweet foster baby Phoenix is looking for a foster home near Kilgore, TX and a furever home in New England through As Sweet As A Peach Animal Rescue.

Phoenix is rising from the ashes of neglect. She’s transforming physically and emotionally. She just needs someone who can give her more TLC and training while we find the perfect adopter. I am spread thin here with fosters.
She would thrive with some one on one.

Despite how much pain and misery she was probably in when she came to me she is still so sweet and loving. She’s going to make a family so happy.

Dogs Name: Phoenix

Age: 5 months

Breed: American bully mix

Current size: 30 lbs

Size potential: 80 lbs

Leash trained: doing well

Crate Trained: working on it

Potty trained: working on it

Kids: socialized with young kids

Other animals: socialized with dogs

Energy level: puppy

House or apartment: probably house

Story/background: Phoenix is part of a litter of 4 pups rescued from my neighborhood. The owner left them to roam the road instead of keeping them contained. Often searching for food in trash cans and dodging traffic. I discovered they were also not in good health when we saw the whole litter on the road. Phoenix was the worst of them , she had more mange than hair. She's looking better every day and she's the sweetest girl looking for love and attention.

Ideal home/family lifestyle: a patient and loving family that will understand she was probably never allowed in the house with her owner. And that her foster is doing her best just to save her but her home is also full and her life is busy. Phoenix is so ready to get all the attention but will require patience while she learns the indoor dog life.

3 pieces of my heart left for New England today.

I have fostered this little “pitatoes” for the last 10 weeks. They grew so big and beautiful. And strong.

I will miss them dearly but they are off to homes and families of their very own.

So long my babies.

Male 1- “Tater”
Male 2- “small fry” now Merlin
Male 5- “spud” now Enzo

3 down, 4 to go!

We are in between transports but still have other pups to find solutions for.

Sweet Missy is now available through As Sweet As A Peach Animal Rescue in the New England area. 

Her foster has so many nice things to say about her, she is very smart and highly trainable. 

Missy
5 months
American Starrordshire terrier mix
39 lbs
Will be a big girl
Does well on leash and off
Potty trained
Loves kids but she is big and bouncy
Loves other dogs and doesn't bother the cat
Very high energy
House with a fenced yard.
I rescued her from animal control. She has always loved everyone. She gets very excited but has learned to sit, lay down, shake and fetch. Missy is very smart and eager to learn. Once she matures any age kids but right now she would knock the small ones down.

We sent 26 pups to Shreveport this morning, and 25 went on to New York. One pup had a minor skin issue that kept him from going. We will keep working on him. 🤞🏻

We cannot thank North Shore Animal League America and Paws 4 Life enough for making this possible.

All of these pups were saved by ordinary people who didn’t turn a blind eye

Georgina who saved Pip and his litter mates, Ashley who fostered them for the last month. They were from Longview.

Lori who has a litter of stray pups born in her barn Mt Pleasant.

Kristy who had a stray litter born in her pasture in Kilgore.

Amy who had a box of puppies dumped on her property in Winona.

Jean who had a neighbor with a stray litter in Gilmer.

Kember who had 2 pups dumped on her road in Kilgore.

Josh and Mary who fostered the Kilgore parking lot pups.

Jana who had 2 pups and mama dumped in Lake Cherokee.

Betty who rescued a mama and a litter of pups.

They did the hard work and we just coordinated the rest.

It takes a village to make a difference. Be the change you want to see around here. Please foster the pups you want to see find help. Or they may never find it.

Our transport for today was postponed. Hopefully if everything goes according to the new plan our pups will be headed out Wednesday am. They get just a little more time with their foster families and fur families.

We now need volunteers for Wednesday morning. 8:30 am in Shreveport.

26 puppies are escaping TX on Monday 7/7!

3 puppies are escaping TX on Thursday 7/10!

Many more are waiting their turn.

Thank you to everyone who donated to make this possible. Food needs, supplies, and vet bills are never ending.

We appreciate you.

We need help in different ways this week (on top of those other needs).

Monday night our puppies load in Kilgore and head to Shreveport. We can use volunteers to help us unload and reload from one transport to the other. 9 pm in Shreveport.

Thursday we have puppies that need to get to the vet from Kilgore to Gilmer. And also to transport, Kilgore to Tyler.

We always need fosters, drivers, vaccinators, photographers, and more.

Let us know if you can help in any way possible.

Hopefully you started preparing your dog days ago.

But here’s some last minute reminders.

If you have to take them out tonight to potty, please take them out on a leash.

Please do not leave your dogs outside during the festivities. Very few will not be scared of that.

More dogs go missing on the Fourth of July than any other holiday. 

Please make sure that if you absolutely have to leave your dog outside for any reason that it has identification on its collar.

My goal is always to wear my dogs and fosters out early and tuck them in with things to chew with a lot of background noise to cover the fireworks.

 Please keep your dog safe this holiday!
