Twisted Branch Aussie Ranch-TBAR

Twisted Branch Aussie Ranch-TBAR Twisted Branch Aussie Ranch (TBAR) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit dog rescue group incorporated in Malakoff, Texas.

The dogs in our rescue live in the home with us as members of our family, and they sleep and eat indoors and run in the yard during the day. We feel that this is the best way for us to prepare these dogs for adoption and life with their new families, to teach them house manners and basic obedience training, and to get to fully know them so that we can make a proper placement.

Our little Cow-Hound, Clarabelle, is so good. She slept in the house last night, uncrated, and did not have one accident of any kind! I took her out this morning, and she went p*e & poo twice, and then played. During the day, she does not have an accident, and will wait until I take her outside, and then goes right away. She knows to wait, which is just fantastic as far as I’m concerned. I dewormed her Thursday, so I’ve been watching her stool and it looks normal. She received her first round of vaccinations yesterday, and didn’t even flinch. Today I want to attempt to trim those puppy nails, so I may need to find a protective suit to wear for that task. Overall, this is an exceptional little girl. She goes outside with me, outside of the fenced yard, off-leash and follows me everywhere, coming straight back when I call her. I watched her belly-crawl across the grass the other day, trying to sneak up on some deer that were across the road, and it was hilarious. She shimmied marine-style on her belly for a good 20 feet! Clarabelle loves everyone and everything she sees, whether it be a person, dog, or even cat. Knowing who her parents are, I believe she’ll be more the size of a Hound rather than an ACD. You can see the hound in her when she lopes across the yard. We will start training soon, which I expect to go exceptionally fast. I’m going to make the best little girl out of her, to make up for the time lost while she lived on the streets, and then find her the perfect home. Could that be with you? She’s ready to go, with nothing but endless love and adorableness to offer you for the rest of her life.

Great first night for Clarabelle. She slept in the kitchen, until I can introduce her to the rest of the dogs and make her a spot with them. And only 2 potty accidents, and no poo! She was ready to go out this morning, and ran straight outside with me, PepperAnn, Cisco, Misty, and Gravy. She did her business almost as soon as she went outside, and then started going dog to dog to see who wanted to play this morning. I left her in the yard for a while to enjoy this gorgeous weather this morning. Overall, she's just a great puppy.

Introducing, Clarabelle! Clarabelle is a 4-month-old Heeler mix who had a rough start in life, being born on the streets and living her whole life as a stray, endearing herself on people in the neighborhood for food and survival. Clarabelle is very friendly, loving, and a bit demure. Just a total sweetheart. She’s already won the heart of Major, who is thrilled to have another play buddy. She’s also met PepperAnn, Misty Blue, and Cisco, and they all gave their approval, although PepperAnn’s was somewhat under duress. Now we start the slow, one-by-one introductions with the rest of the dogs, and then Clarabelle becomes an official member of TBAR. I dewormed her this morning and started her on Advantage Multi for fleas and heartworm prevention, and she’ll be vaccinated this week. She is available for adoption on a spay/neuter contract that requires her to be spayed when she’s 6 months old. Clarabelle will also be microchipped prior to adoption, to ensure she remains safe for the remainder of her life. This little girl is very smart, too, and has already learned Sit for a piece of cheese! I mean, I would sit for a piece of cheese, too, wouldn’t you? This baby girl has unlimited potential and an outstanding personality, and will bring joy to some lucky family for many years to come. If you are interested in giving Clarabelle the loving home that she deserves, please email me at [email protected] and request an adoption application.

I think the time has come to let sweet Conner get adopted, and live in a family where he gets more one-on-one attention than he gets here in a multi-dog home. He’s the sweetest boy, loves with his whole heart. He is, however, very high energy. Oh, you probably think, “High energy? No problem. We take two long walks a day.” Nope, scale it up about 1,000. He’s not nicknamed Supersonic for nothing! When he comes out of his crate to go outside, he’s scrambling so fast that his feet are slipping out from under him. Ever see Sonic the Hedgehog? Yep, that’s Conner. However, he is also very biddable, loving, and fun. Conner loves car rides, enjoys getting in water, is crate trained, and housetrained. For as hyper as he is, he does surprisingly well on a leash, like he knows this is Mommy time and he needs to take the energy down a notch. He’s absolutely gorgeous, with a long, silky coat that is mostly carefree. Conner does better with female dogs, or male dogs that don’t try to challenge him. He may even be OK with a kitty sibling, with proper introductions. Due to his energy, we will not place him in a home with young children, although he would adore some older children to play with him.

Conner is 2 yrs old, purebred Black Tri Aussie with a bobbed tail He’s been with us for 2 years, so we have been able to fully assess his personality. Conner’s perfect home will be a young person or couple who live an active lifestyle, and can make Conner part of their outings and activities. Conner would be a great candidate for any sort of dog sports, since he is Supersonic fast, very sharp and alert, and easily trained. If you think Conner may be right for your family, and vice versa, please message me at [email protected] and let’s discuss. Please understand that this is my baby boy, so only the very best situation will do for him. We are looking for the best match, not first-come-first-serve, in the best interest of Conner and prospective families as well.

I thought you would like to see an update on Misty Blue. She's come such a long way. She now goes outside in the mornings, and has a regular routine that she follows. Oh, she still p*es in the floor when I leave the house--almost like she's voicing her displeasure over me leaving. But that's becoming less frequent, and she is overall much more relaxed than when she got here 4 years ago. This girl talks and plays with her butt. In this video, I was sitting at my desk, minding my own business, when I hear little feet tiptoe up behind me, and then this started. She knows that tub of delicious liver treats is on my desk, and she's not above putting on a little show to entice me to break them out. And yes, she won. Both girls got liver treats.

Bizzy the Great Huntress left me another present in the yard. But knowing blue jays, it probably had it coming. This fills her record out at 6 moles, a squirrel, and now, a bird.

A large limb fell last night, and Cisco is out there guarding it like it was a gift sent straight from heaven. 😂
