Description: Dutch was on the euthanasia list when we came across him at the Animal Control Facility, He is approximately 1.5 years old, is very intelligent and seems to have had a lot of training, is housebroken, crate trained, is better with older kids (only because of his energy level), He seems to have come from a good home, but he had no micro-chip to be able to trace him back to his family and his time was up at the shelter. He is a German Shepherd/Dutch Shepherd mix, and is a strikingly beautiful animal that attracts a lot of attention in public. Dutch would love to have a big fenced yard, and wants very much to be treated as part of the family and included in all their activities. Dutch is very a special dog and very unusual in his level of intelligence, and is looking for his special family to come and make him part of their home. Dutch is a real looker, cars stopped to watch him the day we had him at Petsmart! Update: Dutch was adopted to a wonderful forever home. He is a therapy dog for their other dog that was a severe abuse case. They say he looks after her, and now she will even go for walks with Dutch and go outside.

	Breed: Labrador Retriever
	Color: Black with white chest
	ADOPTED – Thank you!
Description: What a happy, smiling face! That’s because Dirk is now safe from the dangers of being alone in the woods – predators, starving, illness – he’s safe at a True Blue Animal Rescue (TBAR) foster home. Dirk is a sweet, loveable Labrador puppy, all black with a white spot on his chest. He has the wonderful Lab mentality: easy-going, gets along with everyone – other dogs, cats and people. Dirk will grow up to be a full-size Labrador, about 70 pounds. If you’re looking for a family dog, one to go on your family outings and enjoy life, then consider adding Dirk to your family.

Description: Husky was found wandering around Navasota by a True Blue Animal Rescue member; and nobody has claimed him. The lady who found him has 7 other dogs and cannot keep him any longer.He tries to play with her dogs through the fence so he doesn’t appear to be aggressive and he plays with her other big female when she let her out with him. He is a gorgeous dog and is not food aggressive either. He was kept in her storage room and he didn’t make a mess so he’s apparently housebroken. He cannot continue to be locked up in her storage room because she needs that space for her dogs to sleep. Please consider taking in this sweet dog and either fostering him until we can find him a home, or make him your permanent pet. He’s an absolute doll and looks to be under one year old. For more information, contact TBAR at 936- 878-2349

Freddy will be a medium-sized dog in spite of his Lab blood, so you will have all the benefits of this wonderful breed in a nice compact package. Born homeless and rescued by True Blue Animal Rescue (TBAR), this cute and clever canine is ready for his forever home. Freddy has the high energy typical of Labs so he will need plenty of loving and playtime. Open your heart to Freddy and he’ll be a member of your family in no time at all.

Gracie

Posted on December 31, 2008August 23, 2021 by True Blue Animal Rescue

Gracie was days from death when she was rescued. Your support bought her TLC in the form of healing foods, veterinary care, and lots of attention. 8 months later, Gracie was healthy again and found her forever home. T-Bar couldn’t do this important work without you and your support. All donations go directly to the animals!

Gracie’s Story:

Description: Gracie was donated to TBAR and is emaciated. Her body registered a 1 on the Henneke Body Scale – as low as it gets. She’s only 2 years old and has been starved most of her short life. She has to be given food slowly because she doesn’t know that she will never go without food again. (picture taken at her previous home)

Update: April 14, 2008: Gracie has put on a lot of weight and her winter coat is shedding out in chunks! It’s hard to catch her with her head up, she’s eating all the time. Thanks to your support, Gracie is getting the care and feed she needs to get back to health!

Update: October 1, 2008: Look at Gracie now! She’s beautiful, happy and healthy and ready for a forever home!

November 2008: Gracie and Valentino were adopted together! Thank you!

Thank you to Gracie’s Sponsor(s): V. Bridges Hoyt Design

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

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

	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.

	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.

From Maya’s new Mom: “Maya is doing great!! I really feel like we clicked.

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!!”

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.

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.

	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**

	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.

Description: “I’m not garbage”, Buster says. And yet he found himself inside a duct-taped box with his siblings sitting by the side of the road like trash. 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.

	ADOPTED – Thank you!	Location: Washington, Texas
Description: Remember Clifford, the Big Red Dog, the children’s book character? He was over-sized, loved children, land was a bit clumsy with his big size. Not a mean bone in his body. That’s Jack. 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.

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.
