Remy’s Story:

Remy is a lovely tempered, 11 week old, mostly Lab pup who is already a real lady where manners and gentleness are concerned.  She was found straying, hungry, weak and all the usual sad things that become of pups people dump.  Lucky for Remy, the gal who saw her along 290, is a True Blue Rescue staff and a wonderful foster home.  She stopped and picked up the pup, taking her back to share apartment digs with rescued foster kittens and cats, which is her foster/rescue focus. Remy’s foster mom also works at a vets, so got her evaluated, all puppy shots, tests and wormer. By now, this is a healthy, well trained pup.  We had her at an adoption event downtown, this weekend, along with 2 litters of younger pups – all of whom were stressed and scared.  Strange people, noises, a parade, etc., but to our amazement, Remy was calm and asking to get in the pen with the 15 upset babies. Though a baby herself, she right away started cuddling the smallest and most nervous pups. She was welcoming and open to the new people who came up and showed the great traits that are typical of many Labs. She will be a 40-50 lb. dog. She is calm, very responsive and showing signs of being a great choice for someone who needs a dog to bond with a special needs family member or other role calling for attentiveness and extra sensitivity on the part of the dog. But there is plenty of puppy too, loving to chase toys and play.  She is housebroken, crate trained walks well on a leash, sits and listens really well.  If you’d like to meet Remy call 936-878-2349 or email, [email protected] to make an appointment – and go to the website, www.t-bar.org to learn about the adoption or foster program guidelines and download an application.  Fill it out and send it back (email or regular mail) and once you are on file as an approved adopter or foster home, you can meet any animal you want and take them home for a sleepover – try out.

Sweet Pea’s story:

Meet SWEET PEA, she is precious, gorgeous, smart as a whip, super affectionate, cuddly and playful. This pup is 5 months old and currently weighs 18-20 lbs. The vet tells us she’ll probably mature to 25 (maybe 30) pounds. She was taken in by a good neighbor who has fostered her and tells us that she saw the mother of Sweet Pea’s litter, and feels sure Mama dog is 1/2 Chihuahua. The rest of her family tree will have to remain a mystery. Little Sweet Pea is a perfect example of that wonderful breed, the Great American Mutt. In her face and coat, there could even be a few drops of Black Mouth Cur or Shepherd. It’s all good – and she comes with a very sweet heart to boot. Her foster mom has taught her to walk on a leash, crate trained her and given her plenty of experience with a big house hold. She likes kids and has never growled or snapped, even with the littlest, pulling tail and ears and trying to pick her up. She likes to chase the cats, but just for fun and has never been aggressive with them.
Sweet Pea sleeps in her crate at night and is a great inside or outside dog. She has a happy disposition and is real responsive to being taught. Like all of True Blue Animal Rescue’s adoptables , she is spayed, current on shots and healthy.

Success Story: Woody!

Woody sm

TBAR is pleased to share Woody’s success story with you! Woody was based in Fort Hood, Texas, where he was a part of the 1st Cavalry Division as a Ceremonial horse. Woody performed in numerous ceremonies, parades, and weapons demonstrations until he obtained front leg tendon injuries (bowed tendons) and was no longer able to participate.

Woody was donated to TBAR and quickly found his forever “retirement” home. He is seen in the picture below with a HCD mule, Molly.
