It takes a lot of work and a lot of love to get horses rehabilitated and ready for adoption, or ready to be an ABLE camp horse!

Success Stories: Titan and Fire
Success Story Wednesday!
Last week we posted a photo of Titan and a link to our success story Flickr page and we were so happy to see Titan’s brother, Fire! Fire’s mom, Tamara, posted a few photos and we just had to share our favorite ones with all of you here!
Both of these beautiful cats went up for adoption when they were estimated to be 5-6 weeks old. They came from a bad hording situation and were rescued by a neighbor that found the kittens while the adult cats were being removed. This good neighbor bottle fed the kittens until they were old enough for adoption.
We love to see our rescued animals in their loving forever homes – it is what keeps all of the dedicated TBAR volunteers going!
Please upload YOUR success stories to our Flickr page

Dog Success Stories! September 2013
We are glad to be able to share with you the TBAR dogs that found their forever homes this month!
Sugar Bear
Sugar is a lab mix, over a year old, and weighs 65 pounds. She has come a long way from the sick, skinny girl she was, and has become a beautiful healthy girl ready for her new family. She is completely house trained and gets along with all other dogs and kids, walks well on a leash and loves to play. She loves to go out and play, or to go for a walk, and afterward she is happy to lay around and relax. This miracle girl is ready for a new home!
Sugar came into TBAR around the holidays, when a good Samaritan found her emaciated and injured on the streets and took her to a veterinary hospital. They helped her through surgery, distemper and long weeks of hard, slow recovery that many would not have survived. Through it all, Sugar Bear stayed loving, even though sometimes all she could do was give a couple of wags and lift her head.
Minette
Minette’s foster home decided they could not part with this sweet, Shar Pei and terrier mix. Minette is a full-grown dog, weighing in at 40 pounds and is spayed and current on vaccinations and heartworm preventative. At 3 years old, she is still young enough to be playful, yet out of that puppy chewing/teething stage. Minette’s current home says she is very good with adults and children alike. She would love to be a part of a family who will spent quality time with her and give her plenty of love.

Success Stories: Cats 2013!
Here are the TBAR Cats that have found their forever home in 2013!
Titan
Titan in his new home! See what a beautiful cat he has grown into!
Here’s Titan! When he went up for adoption he was estimated to be 5-6 weeks old; we were not sure of his age because he came from a hoarding situation where the adult cats were being trapped & removed; so the neighbor started finding screaming kittens everywhere! He was about 2 weeks old when he was found (07/14/2013) and started on the bottle Titan is a lover that loves to be held and rubbed. He’s a purr machine! Congrats on your new forever home, Titan!
Gawain
Gawain had a tough life before coming to TBAR. He was found eating out of a dumpster in Houston by a little girl with a big heart. Through networking, he was picked up from Houston and brought to TBAR. Once checked out by a vet, we discovered Gawain had been attacked by some larger animal, probably a dog. He had a two inch cut over his front shoulder and a bite on his neck. It took 2-3 weeks for his injuries to heal and now he is all healed up and working on his social skills. He is shy at first but once he feels safe, he is a love bug! But you won’t hear much noise from him other than his loud purr box. He is more of a squeaker than a meower, in fact, he can’t really meow. But the love he gives is incomparable. Please consider having this amazing little boy as a part of your family!
Fire
This picture is of Fire at 6 weeks old, when he was ready for his new home. He came into TBAR from a hoarding situation where the adult cats were being trapped and removed. He was about 2 weeks old when found (07/17/2013) and started on the bottle. Fire is a spunky playful kitten that loves to play on his scratching post! Congrats on your forever home, little wild Fire!
Ned
Ned was found by some neighborhood kids under their house in September 2012. He was tiny, and his arrival was a mystery, since there was no sign of a mother or liter mates nearby. Ned was taken in by TBAR and received his vaccinations and neutering. He has a very thick and lovely coat, and at 5 months old he was a big kitten, but very healthy and affectionate with a strong character personality. Since he spent so much time with his foster parent’s dogs, he was known to act a bit like a dog, himself. He would come when he was called, and yeowl at the door when the dogs ran to it barking.
Odette
Odette is a gorgeous little red tabby who was found abandoned in a park. She was clearly dumped as she had no behavior indicative of a feral kitten. Odette was taken in and given all of her shots. She gets along great with dogs and cats. We were so happy when she found her forever home!
Caramel
Caramel is an American short hair cat, who was spayed and up to date with routine shots. She has found her forever home.
Baby Girl
Here are some updated pics of Baby Girl!
“Baby Girl” was found by a community member who took her to the vet for her cut and broken foot. This helpful person asked TBAR to help, and is now fostering Baby Girl as a TBAR dog until she is healed and ready to be adopted. TBAR would like to raise money to help pay her vet bill.
