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 |
| 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. |

| ADOPTED – Thank you! |
Location: Brenham, Texas |
| Description: Boone was found on the side of the road almost dead when he was saved. He had been at a vets office since April 2007 trying to find a home. TBAR was able to take him in and will find him his forever home. Boone is crate trained / house broken and is a sweetheart. He loves to play with other dogs, even little ones. 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. |

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: 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.
