🚨 Remember Slushy?!

Well, he’s officially TOBY now, and apparently he wasted NO time settling into his new life! 😂❤️

This little guy is already out on the town, living his best life like he’s been doing it forever!

From shelter life to social butterfly. We love these updates! 🐾❤️

🚨 OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM TSR MANAGEMENT 🚨

Texas Star Rescue would like to address the rumors.

Yes, Lyndy and Balto are still here.

No, we don't understand it either.

Yes, management has been notified.

Both residents remain unemployed, contribute absolutely NOTHING toward the bills, and continue to enjoy complimentary meals, housekeeping, and room service.

After consulting with our legal department (which is also us), we've determined that eviction is only possible if suitable permanent housing can be secured.

Preferably with couches, snacks, and humans who are easily manipulated.

Lyndy: 2 years old, 9 lbs
Balto: 2 years old, 8 lbs

Applications for permanent housing are now being accepted.

We appreciate your patience during this ongoing investigation.

— TSR Management 🐾😂

🚨 TUESDAY'S VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION.

How many dogs is TOO many dogs?

Asking for a friend. The friend may or may not run a rescue. 😂

And before anybody says TWO, just know we're judging you.

Wrong answers only. 👇🐾

🐾🤣 WELL, LOOK WHO CAME BACK TO THE SCENE OF THE CRIME! 🤣🐾

Remember Travis? Well, these days he goes by Buddy, and apparently he just can't stay away from Texas Star Rescue! 😂❤️

Here's the funny part… I was JUST in Colorado visiting Buddy and his family, getting to see firsthand how ridiculously spoiled this boy is! 🥹❤️

Well, wouldn't you know it… I barely make it back to Texas, and his family turns around and drives ALL THE WAY DOWN HERE to pick up a car they bought!

And guess who tagged along?! 😂

TRAVIS… AKA BUDDY… IS BACK ON TEXAS STAR RESCUE GROUNDS! 🐾🤣

Not because he needs rescuing. Not because he's looking for a home. Nope! This boy is just casually sniffing around his old stomping grounds like he owns the place!

Probably thinking, "Yep, I used to live here. Look at me now, peasants!" 💅😂

From rescue dog to Colorado royalty, Buddy is out here living his absolute BEST life, traveling the country with his family and making surprise visits to his old crew!

Once a Texas Star Rescue baby, ALWAYS a Texas Star Rescue baby! ❤️🐾

And Buddy, we love you, but don't get any ideas… you're just VISITING! 🤣❤️
