Tbar Heaven 2008

Posted on December 31, 2008August 23, 2021 by Melanie DeAeth

Benji
Found sitting on the Galveston seawall in the midst of a cold sandstorm, Benji was rescued and discovered to be completely blind. He was the sweetest elderly dog; and knew lots of love and TLC in his foster home. He was called to Heaven too soon.

Cubby
Beloved family pet

Curtis
Lost but not forgotten

Tuscany
We gave him everything we had: food, love, veterinary care, and prayers; but in the end, we couldn’t save Tuscany from severe starvation.

Thursday, July 24th – TBAR (Melanie and Dale) went out to meet the vet and check out this horse after a lady called TBAR and told us he was losing weight and she couldn’t afford to feed him anymore. TBAR ended up making an emergency decision and taking Tuscany into our rescue on the spot. He is beyond skinny. He is a walking skeleton. He is a 0.5 on the Henneke Body Scoring. We named him Tuscany. We named him that because we know he will live up to the name when he fills out and becomes the beautiful horse he once was. He’s in his early 20’s which means he is not extremely old for a horse. Today horses live well into their 30’s. There is no reason for this guy to be this thin except that he didn’t have enough food.

When Dale and I went out to see him after a phone call from the owner telling us that she can’t afford to feed him and begging us to take him we were stunned by what we saw. There was some poor quality grain but no hay for this guy to eat but his eyes were bright and he looked at us with hope. Enough said, so we went back and picked up the trailer and took him home. He’s eating senior feed four times a day with plenty of hay so we expect him to come around and start gaining weight quickly.

August 13th – Sadly, Tuscany lost his battle to recover from severe starvation; and passed away this morning, unable to rise. In the end, he was ready to go and we helped him cross over. Our hearts are broken, not being able to save this magnificent Soul. He is not suffering any more.

THANK YOU to all Tuscany’s supporters!!

For the last 3 weeks, Tuscany knew love and care from humans. He was honored as the brave, courageous Spirit that he was. And had plenty of food (in small, frequent quantities), shelter, warmth and tender loving care. Please light a candle for Tuscany. Say hello to Chief, Toot, Chai and the other TBar horses in heaven, Tuscany. Tell them we miss them and look forward to seeing them again some day.

Princess
We don’t know why you were taken from us, but we’re comforted knowing you were loved so much before you left.

Jasper
Now you’re finally at peace
and know no fear.

Marcus

Possum
We’re glad you knew love and a full belly before you left us, Possum.

Cooper
Even though he’d had 2 booster shots, Cooper was lost to an unexpected case of Parvo. Gone too young.

Buddy
Passed peacefully in his sleep of old age. At 17 yrs, Buddy had a good life.

T-Bar’s 2008 Dog Success Stories
* Dogs that Found their Forever Homes *

	T-Bar Name: Abbey	T-Bar Number: D334	Weight: 15 lbs
	Sex: Spayed Girl	Age on 11/01/2008: 7 mos
	Breed: Wire-haired Jack Russell Terrier
	Color: White with Black and Orange Patches
	ADOPTED – Thank You!	Location: Washington, Texas
Description: Abbey is a Jack Russell Terrier that is fun loving and full of energy. She weighs 15 pounds so she is small with wire hair that is easy to keep and doesn’t shed too much. Even though she’s small she is not a lap dog. She is very loving and affectionate but due to her energy level she needs lots of exercise so she doesn’t have time to sit on your lap. She’s very curious and will check out the house or yard and then quickly moves onto something new. She is very smart and would love to have an owner who has time to teach her tricks. She needs a home with a fenced yard. Her cute face and comical expressions will make you fall in love with her instantly. She is housebroken and crate trained, spayed and current on all her shots.

	T-Bar Name: Bonnie	T-Bar Number: D074	Weight: 35 lbs
	Sex: Spayed Girl	Age on 7/2008: 3 years
	Breed: Copelyn Hound
	Color: Black, with Orange and White markings
	ADOPTED – Thank You!	Location: Cameron, Texas
Description: Due to a divorce, Bonnie and her brother, Clyde are looking for a new forever home. Wonderful personalities – can you see Bonnie smiling?

	T-Bar Name: Roscoe	T-Bar Number: D336	Weight: 7 lbs
	Sex: Boy Puppy	Age on 7/19/2008: 7 weeks
	Breed: Shepherd/ Retriever Mix
	Color: Golden Brown with dark brown and white highlights
	ADOPTED – Thank You!	Location: Washington, Texas
Description: He’s the brave one and has a wonderful and fun personality.Roscoe’s Mom writes: “I adopted Roscoe early in October…He is doing great with me. Here are a couple pictures of him. He’s completed puppy Obedience classes and we have started taking agility training courses. He is very intelligent and a great dog to have around. Thanks, Lindsey”

	T-Bar Name: Skip	T-Bar Number: D335	Weight: 40 lbs
	Sex: Neutered Boy	Age on 7/2008: 1 yr
	Breed: Australian Shepherd / Heeler Mix
	Color: White with Orange on his head and back
	ADOPTED – Thank You!	Location: Washington, Texas
Description: Skip probably knows what a handsome dog he is but it has never gone to his head. No one knows his background but he must have had a good home at one time. Skip is a very calm and sweet dog who is very well-behaved. He comes when called and sits when you ask him to. He’s really smart too. He knows which bowl is his food bowl. At feeding time, he leads the younger puppies at True Blue Animal Rescue (TBAR) to their bowls and then goes to eat at his own bowl. Other dogs would just growl at them and chase them off but this guy is smart enough to think of a better way. When the pups are inside the house and they need to go out, Skip goes in and rounds them up and they follow him outside. Skip is about a year old and a striking white with tan head and tan spots on his back. He is neutered and vaccinated. Probably a Australian shepherd/heeler mix, he will be a loving and loyal member to the lucky family who adopts him. For more information, contact TBAR at 936- 878-2349

	T-Bar Name: Blue	T-Bar Number: D333	Weight: 35 lbs
	Sex: Boy	Age on 6/2008: 4 months
	Breed: Hound
	Color: Orange and Black
	ADOPTED – Thank You!	Location: Washington, Texas
Update 8/15/08: “We had the pleasure of having Blue in our home for 3 days. He was nothing but a sweetheart. He was housetrained and crate trained. He slept fine in the crate at night. He was not aggressive with any people he met, or our other dog. When our dog got aggressive with him, he didn’t get scared or growl back, he just wagged his tail. He is not possessive of his food, and even let our other dog take bites out of his bowl. He walked well on a leash and rode great in the car. Were it not for our dog’s hip problems, we would have loved to make Blue a permanent member of our family.” – Mary PenaBlue’s Story: Blue was founding wandering in the country. He was limping badly and was very skinny. X-rays revealed a high break on his back leg. Being a young dog, we opted to put the leg in a cast which should heal nicely over the next 6 weeks. Blue required a special procedure to set his leg which cost $600 (surgery would have been $1200). Update 6/15/08: A follow-up x-ray shows that Blue’s leg is healing nicely. He’s right on track to a full recovery. Update 6/27/08: Blue’s cast came off today! He is still thin but now that the cast is off his body can start using energy to gain weight instead of healing. He has bald patches on his front legs from the IV’s he had and his back leg is still stiff and has bald spots from the cast. The leg that had the cast on is the far one. *Update: Nov 08 – Blue went home to live with his new mother, Becky, who has three other dogsBlue’s vet bill totaled over $1200. Thank you to Blue’s sponsors: Art Helping Animals, and Mary & Ricky Pena*

	T-Bar Name: Georgie	T-Bar Number: D132	Weight: 45 lbs
	Sex: Neutered Male	Age on 1/2008: 4 years 3 months
	Breed: Shepherd	HOUSEBROKEN
	Color: Black with tan and white markings
	Adopted THANK YOU!	Location: Washington, Texas
Description: Georgie isn’t head of his class – he’s average. He doesn’t have stunning good looks, he’s average. Even his story of how he ended up at True Blue Animal Rescue (TBAR) is average – someone found him dumped on the streets. So Georgie has been overlooked time and time again, for the cute puppies, the unusual colorings, the really sad stories. Georgie is just your average wonderful family dog. The kind of dog that gets along great with everyone – other dogs, people, especially kids – and everything – walks, inside, and outside. He loves water whether playing in the sprinkler, with a hose or in a kiddie pool. This 3 year old Shepherd is on the small size, only 45 lbs; neutered, current on shots and longing for a home of his own. Won’t you take a closer look at Georgie?. November 2008 – Georgie was “officially” adopted this weekend by a wonderful couple. He is living inside with his new family and loving the extra attention

Description: Loyal devoted and protective girl. A real Texas lady. Sarah is waiting for a family to replace the one that “forgot” to take her when they moved. Sarah Lee patiently stayed at the abandoned trailer for over 2 months, and nearly starved to death, waiting for her family to come back and take her to their new home. She is good with dogs, cats and small farm animals. A sweet, gentle and loving soul with the manners of a Texas lady who deserves a new family that will appreciate her wonderful qualities. Why did we give her the name Sarah Lee? Like the slogan for the baked goods company… Nobody doesn’t like Sarah Lee!

	Sex: Neutered Boy	Age on 5/2007: 1 yr
	Breed: Beagle / Boxer
	Color: White with orange patches
	ADOPTED – Thank You!	Location: Washington, Texas
Description: Update June 2008: A very special family came along that fell in love with Popeye. Even though Popeye was not officially up for adoption, this family was able to do whatever Popeye needed to make him a part of their family and make him happy. Slowly and gently, Popeye was transitioned to their home. And Popeye fell in love with his new family. He’s happy, healthy and has his very own family. A wonderful, fairy-tale ending to Popeye’s story! Update Dec 2007: Popeye’s abuser was found guilty! He was sentenced to 30 days in prison, has to pay the court $500 and has to pay Tbar the $600 initial vet bill that we paid. He also has to go to a mental health evaluation and anger management classes. Justice for Popeye!

	T-Bar Name: Petey	T-Bar Number:D240	Weight: 65 lbs
	Sex: Neutered Boy	Age on 5/2007: 1.5 yrs
	Breed: American Staffordshire Terrier
	Color: White and Brown
	ADOPTED – Thank You!	Location: Austin, Texas
Description: Petey was lost with no hope in sight. He wasn’t sure how he ended up lost. He was out with his family, chasing after a ball; and when he brought it back, they were gone. He searched and searched – what kind of hide and seek was this? After weeks of looking, Petey laid down and gave up. A kind stranger found him – Petey was terribly thin. The stranger looked into his eyes and connected with Petey’s lost soul. He took Petey home with him and gave him a warm, safe space to sleep and food to fill his belly. Since the kind stranger agreed to foster Petey, he was accepted into True Blue Animal Rescue (TBAR) so he could find his forever home. This striking, white and black 1-2 year old American Staffordshire Terrier, loves to play and run. And if you want a cuddle dog, Petey’s your dog! He’ll curl up with you and sleep with his head in your lap. Petey would love to be your ‘only child’, so he can have all the attention. He comes already neutered and current on his vaccinations.

He’s small, the size of a beagle or sheltie.Boone was adopted by a great family in Burton. They have a huge fenced yard and two sweet dogs for Boone to play with, one elderly Australian Shepherd and a really sweet 5 yr old that looks like a giant rat terrier! He is going to be VERY happy there. He has a 16 yr old girl that just loves him and a 21 yr old boy to run and play with, in addition to a great mom and dad !Update from Boone’s forever home: Just wanted to let you know that Boone is a wonderful dog (but you already knew that). He acts like he has lived here all of his life. He and Thor play all of the time. They all have their own Kongs now. Even old Snickers seems livelier and plays more-not only did we help him but he has helped us. We love him very much and I can’t imagine life without him know. We appreciate all that you do for so many animals in need.

	Breed: Rottweiler / Australian Shepherd	Color: black/white/tan
	ADOPTED – Thank You!	Location: Brenham, Texas
From Maya’s new Mom: “Maya is doing great!! I really feel like we clicked. So far we have gone on several car rides, taken a bath (not her favorite thing to do), played with little kids, and exposed to other dogs and cats. I’m amazed at her ease with all the new situations. While I’m gone during the day she resides on my bed and seems quite at home. Thank you so much for taking this great dog in. I really lucky to have found her!!”

	T-Bar Name: Bravo Blue	T-Bar Number:D276	Weight: 15 lbs
	Sex: Neutered Boy Puppy	Age on 1/2008: 6 months
	Breed: Pointer / Great Pyrenees CRATE-TRAINED; HOUSEBROKEN
	Color: White with tan patches on his ears; one blue eye and one brown eye
	ADOPTED – Thank You!	Location: Caldwell, Texas
Description: Saving the best for last! Bravo Blue is one of eight puppies that were born unwanted. The result of an accidental meeting between neighbors’ un-neutered and un-spayed dogs. Bravo is extra sweet and quite calm for a 6 month old puppy; maybe he’s trying to make up for being a mistake. All of his siblings have been adopted; and their new families rave about how smart they are! Bravo is the last one left. He is a beautiful, young Pointer mix with one blue eye and one brown eye and a big grin. He looks a lot like his mom and will grow into a beautiful bird dog and be a wonderful family dog and ranch dog. Some of his brothers and sisters look more like dad, a Great Pyrenees.

	T-Bar Name: Yankee	T-Bar Number:D316	Weight: 55 lbs
	Sex: Neutered Boy	Age on 4/01/2008: 8-10 years
	Breed: Golden Retriever/ Irish Setter
	Color: Red Orange
	ADOPTED – Thank You!	Location: Washington, Texas
Description: Yankee wandered up to a TBAR member’s house looking for some food. He’s obviously been someone’s house pet, but no one has claimed him. Yankee had several cysts which have been removed. He will be in rehab until the stitches come out. He’s neutered, vaccinated, dewormed and ready to find a home in a couple weeks. He is a VERY nice dog. Housebroke ( he doesn’t mess his kennel) comes, sits, stays and walks well on a leash. Being an older dog, he’s mellow and won’t require a 15 year commitment like other dogs.

	T-Bar Name: Oreo	T-Bar Number:D249	Weight: 50 lbs
	Sex: Spayed Girl	Age on 6/2007: 2.5 yrs
	Breed: Border Collie / Labrador
	Color: Black and white
	ADOPTED – Thank You!	Location: Brenham, Texas
Description: Oreo is well-trained: sits on command, housebroken, playful with dogs and loves all people. She loves to have her belly rubbed, is lovable, loyal and very smart. Like all border collies, Oreo needs attention and lots of room to run. The cats and small animals don’t like Oreo trying to ‘herd’ them, so Oreo would do better in a home with no small pets.

	T-Bar Name: Iddy Biddy	T-Bar Number:D269	Weight: 10 lbs
	Sex: Girl Puppy	Age on 10/1/2007: 12 weeks
	Breed: Golden Retriever / Catahoula
	Color: Tan with spots on her belly
	ADOPTED – Thank You!	Location: Alvin, Texas
Description: Adorable and will not be big. Mom was a small golden retriever.

	T-Bar Name: Tex	T-Bar Number:D299	Weight: 55 lbs
	Sex: Neutered Boy	Age on 2/01/2008: 1 yr
	Breed: Labrador Retriever
	Color: Black with white heart on chest and one white-tipped paw
	ADOPTED – Thank you!	Location: Cameron, Texas
Description: Tex and Corky act like brothers (even though they’re not) because they were both babies when they were dumped in the country to fend for them selves. They relied on each other to survive. Both dogs are house broken, leash trained, good with kids and OK with cats and other dogs. Tex is a rowdy spirit with an all lab personality. Everything is a game – play, play, play; and if it involves water and running, he is in heaven.

	T-Bar Name: Shep	T-Bar Number:D211	Weight: 55 lbs
	Sex: Neutered Male	Age on 12/2006: 11 years
	Breed: German Shepherd
	Color: black and tan
	ADOPTED – Thank You!	Location: College Station, Texas
Description: Shep isn’t for every body. In fact, Shep isn’t the dog most people would want. Only a very special kind of heart will say yes to Shep.Shep’s story started out all right, but took a sad turn…Having been loyal to his family for over 11 years, Shep’s loyalty was repaid by being dumped in the woods of Somerville. He lost alot of weight trying to find his way home. Wandering the woods, he got caught in a trap but bravely kept looking for home even with a badly damaged toe (which had to be amputated). As if that’s not sad enough, Shep has a terminal case of heartworms*. So one way or another, Shep has only a couple of years left -With good food and loving, Shep will again become a striking black and tan German Shepherd. He’s a gentle, calm-natured dog; and he seems to appreciate the 2nd chance he’s getting. He gets along well with other dogs too. He’s neutered and had all his shots.So you see, Shep needs a very special person with a big, loving heart that can give this stately gentleman the glorious, loving retirement he so deserves.There’s no long term commitment of 15+ years like with most dogs; just a rewarding, short-term love affair with Shep. “We cannot do great things on this Earth, only small things with great love.” – Mother Theresa

Popeye’s Story

Posted on July 1, 2008August 23, 2021 by True Blue Animal Rescue

Popeye


June 2007	T-Bar Name:Popeye	T-Bar Number: D245	Weight: 35 lbs
	Sex: Neutered Boy	Age on 5/2007: 1 yr
	Breed: Beagle / Boxer
	Color: White with orange patches
	ADOPTED – Thank You!	Location: Washington, Texas
Update June 2008: A very special family came along that fell in love with Popeye. Even though Popeye was not officially up for adoption, this family was able to do whatever Popeye needed to make him a part of their family and make him happy. Slowly and gently, Popeye was transitioned to their home. And Popeye fell in love with his new family. He’s happy, healthy and has his very own family. A wonderful, fairy-tale ending to Popeye’s story! Update June 2007: Popeye is recovering nicely. He has lost vision in one eye, but it doesn’t seem to bother him. He has won the hearts of all the TBAR volunteers who care for him and his sponsors with his charming personality and happy attitude. His favorite activity is to pick up a soft, fluffy toy in his mouth and accompany the volunteers on the feeding rounds. He loves his toy! So full of life and love, how could any one hurt this dog?! Update Dec 2007: Popeye’s abuser was found guilty! He was sentenced to 30 days in prison, has to pay the court $500 and has to pay Tbar the $600 initial vet bill that we paid. He also has to go to a mental health evaluation and anger management classes. Justice for Popeye! * WARNING: Popeye’s story is horrible. Stop reading now if you don’t want your heart to break. Original Story: Popeye was seized by the Sheriff’s Department because a man had tied him up and beaten him with a golf club. X-rays showed that Popeye had a fractured skull, broken sinus cavity and a bulging eye. They also showed that he had been shot in the head. Later, the man confessed that Popeye was a stray and he was ‘doing us a favor’ by trying to get rid of him. While his injuries were critical, through it all, Popeye was wagging his tail and showing love to his caretakers. TBAR and the vet couldn’t give up on a dog who wanted to live so badly and could show love after all his abuse. The first few days were touch and go for Popeye and he wouldn’t eat. But slowly, he started to feel a little better and started to eat. Popeye has a long recovery, but he deserves a second chance at life, don’t you think? If you would like to sponsor Popeye and contribute to his rehabilitation, we’ll keep you updated on his progress. You can know in your heart that Popeye will never again be hurt or suffer; he will only know love and kindness from now on. That’s our promise to him. Thank you to Popeye’s sponsors: Angela Sera**

	Sex: Neutered Male	Age on 4/2007: 1 yr
	Breed: Red Heeler/ Shepherd
	Color: Red and White with Red Specks
	ADOPTED – Thank You!	Location: Washington, Texas
Description: Red is lucky he didn’t get shot! His beautiful tail looks just like a red fox tail and he was wandering around a country road, hungry, looking for food. At first, Red thought he was on the adventure of a lifetime, running around, checking out all the new smells and sights. But then Red got hungry and it was getting dark; and his family was no where to be found. House after house chased him away, until days later, a caring soul realized he was lost and needed help. Red was so thankful for some food and a safe place to sleep. He filled his belly and then slept deeply for the first time in days. When no one claimed Red, he came to True Blue Animal Rescue (TBAR), to find a forever home.Red knows commands like sit, come and stay, so he was trained at one time. He gets along great with other dogs, loves to play, and most of all, loves attention from people. He will just sit by your leg, looking sweetly into your eyes as you pet him. He rides well in a car, loves to go for walks, and has great leash manners. This beautiful, 1 yr old, red heeler/shepherd mix has had all his vaccinations, is neutered, and ready for a loving, forever home.

Next to his box was another box, totaling 10 precious lives in all, carelessly tossed away. How could anyone do such a thing?! Don’t they know it’s illegal? A passing motorist saw 2 puppies break out of a box and stopped. The puppies were gathered up and taken home with this Good Samaritan and True Blue Animal Rescue (TBAR) was contacted. Ten beautiful, 10-12 week old collie/heeler mixes, girls and boys, different colors – all fluffy, sweet, and adorable! Some are more outgoing, like Maddy and Palla, some are more demure, like Butter and Roxy, and some look like teddy bears, like John Henry.

A big red dog with a heart to match, he’s looking for a family that can appreciate his size. While Jack can’t take kids for a ride, like Clifford, he could probably pull a wagon of kids. This year old, red/orange Labrador mix is ready at a moment’s notice to have a good time – whether it’s romping and playing, chasing a ball, or going for a walk. He’s up for anything! It’s his easy-going Labrador nature. He’s had his vaccinations and is neutered too. If you’re looking for a happy-go-lucky, Clifford, the red dog to enjoy life with, consider adding Jack to your family.

Cats Adopted in 2007

Posted on December 31, 2007August 23, 2021 by True Blue Animal Rescue

Hallie – ADOPTED – Thank You!

Adorable 4 month old calico girl. Found caught up in barbed wire. Has healed up just fine and is a real lap cat with a big purr you can hear across the room! She’s had her shots, is spayed and ready for her forever home. Hallie and Derry were adopted together – Thank You!

Derry – ADOPTED – Thank You!

Sweet 4 month old orange tabby boy. His best friend is Hallie, above. Consider adopting the two together! Hallie and Derry were adopted together – Thank You!

CASSIDY – ADOPTED – Thank You!

Cassidy loves to have you rub his belly and shows his pleasure by kneading gently on your arms. He knows not to use his claws with people already too. A big purr from this little body, Cassidy is a snuggler. He’s a kitten, so he’s ready to play with his siblings or you! He’s already had his first kitten shots including rabies and feline leukemia; and he’s neutered.  6/04/07 – 4 months

AUDREY – ADOPTED – Thank You!

Named after the actress, Audrey Hepburn, this demure, little girl will fool you at first, acting shy and scared. But give her a moment to get used to something new and then she’s running around, acting playful! She’s quite capable of holding her own when playing with the boys; and has even been known to be the instigator! She may be the demure one, but she has the loudest meow. Her calico colors are beautifully muted gray and tan/orange, with blue/gray eyes. For being the smallest, she has the loudest purr! She’s already had her first kitten shots including rabies and feline leukemia; and she’s spayed.

BENZ – ADOPTED – Thank You!

As in Mercedes Benz, cause this little boy is a class act. He wants first and foremost to sit on your shoulder and purr; then he’ll run and play with his siblings. Of the three kittens, he’s the most brave… His looks are a lot like a Russian Blue cat.

Gray and White – Adopted THANK YOU!

A rare Tabico. Very affectionate & playful (kittens just don’t like posing for photos much).

Fascinated with the horses and not the least bit scared- thus the cowboy name.

Whiskers – ADOPTED – Thank You!

Curious and not the least bit camera shy.
Whiskers is about 7 weeks old and playful (see below).

Whiskers (showing his belly) and
Sparky – ADOPTED – Thank You!

Thelma – ADOPTED – Thank You!

A beautiful long haired angora kitten.
She and her sister Louise are very adventurous and loving. Only about 8 weeks old.

Thelma & Louise – ADOPTED – Thank You!

Checking out the bounty!

Elise – ADOPTED – Thank You!

Elise is a very elegant, composed Calico.
She just calmly watches the others at play like any good princess. S
he looks older & bigger in the photo but she’s only about 9 weeks.

Bailey – ADOPTED – Thank You!

What? Where’s the camera?!
Bailey posed perfectly – in the wrong direction.
Don’t hold it against him please – Bailey’s about 7 weeks old.

Onyx – ADOPTED – Thank You!

Another long haired beauty.
Onyx is calm and collected, posing like royalty atop his personal perch.
He’s about 8 weeks old and stunning– photo doesn’t do justice at all !

Midnight – ADOPTED – Thank You!

The friendliest, most affectionate kitten ever!
He’s a gorgeous long hair, solid black angora, About 9 weeks old. A real purr-ball!

Cassidy –  ADOPTED – Thank You!

Patches – ADOPTED – Thank You! Patches is one lucky girl! Surviving on her own for 7 months, she somehow managed to avoid getting hit by a car or attacked by dogs, and even found a kind soul to give her some food. Then along came a True Blue Animal Rescue member who trapped her to bring her to safety. This loving, playful, black and orange calico cat is now 8 months old, healthy, spayed, vaccinated and ready for a forever home. Patches has discovered that people are wonderful! She loves exploring her new world of indoor life; and lives for being petted. She’ll rub against your legs, and loves to sit in your lap and be held. She has quite the purr too! Her striking markings, like the orange stripe down her nose, just add to her character. So far, there’s nothing she doesn’t like – she’s even fine with other cats & dogs. See the world for the first time again, as you watch Patches discover and learn about your world. As long as she has you to run to for safety, she’s curious and willing to explore.

By way of roundup, purchase, then a seizure for animal neglect, Naimi ended up at True Blue Animal Rescue (TBAR). Naimi was just a weanling when she came to TBAR, and has grown up into a beautiful, bay two year old mare with flashy white markings. Typical of mustangs, she is small and will grow to be about 14 hands. Naimi is willing to please; and very people friendly.

Description: Timex is a retired barrel racer who is very easy to handle, a gentle companion and a sweetheart. He is bonded with his buddy, Beauregard. Timex has an old stifle injury so he is available as a beautiful pasture ornament and a grooming buddy only. If you’re looking for a sweet, gentle horse for the grandkids, consider Timex and Beauregard.
