T-Bar Name: Red Fox (aka “RED”) T-Bar Number:D225 Weight: 46 lbs 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.

Location: Brenham, Texas 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. The puppies have already had their first puppy shots and come with a certificate for their spay and neuter.

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.

T-Bar’s Nov-Dec 2007 Success Stories
* Dogs that Found their Forever Homes * 

T-Bar Name:  Clyde T-Bar Number: D282 Weight: 86 lbs Sex: Neutered Boy Age on 12/2007:  4-5 years Breed: Labrador Retriever   CRATE-TRAINED/HOUSEBROKEN Color: Yellow ADOPTED – Thank You! Location: College Station, Texas Description: Hank and Clyde were found running loose. After no one stepped up to claim these dogs, it was clear they were dumped. They were in good shape and their fur showed evidence of wearing collars. Hank and Clyde did very poorly at the shelter, and became depressed. Not surprising since they were obviously someone’s pets. A foster home stepped forward, so TBAR was able to rescue them from the shelter. Clyde lost significant weight while at the shelter; and is already eating better in his loving foster home. This picture was taken when Hank and Clyde were first pulled off the streets. Both dogs are friendly and affectionate towards people, dogs, cats and kids.  They have both been micro-chipped.  Also, they are both excellent on a leash. There is no problem at all walking both of them at the same time.  T-Bar Name:  Hank T-Bar Number: D282 Weight: 45 lbs Sex: Neutered Boy Age on 12/2007:  4-5 years Breed: Labrador Retriever   CRATE-TRAINED/HOUSEBROKEN Color: Yellow ADOPTED – Thank You! Location: College Station, Texas Description: Hank and Clyde were found running loose. After no one stepped up to claim these dogs, it was clear they were dumped. They were in good shape and their fur showed evidence of wearing collars. Hank and Clyde did very poorly at the shelter, and became depressed. Not surprising since they were obviously someone’s pets. A foster home stepped forward to foster, so TBAR was able to rescue them from the shelter. Hank seemed to deal with the stress by eating and needs to lose a few pounds. This picture was taken when Hank and Clyde were first pulled off the streets. Both dogs are friendly and affectionate towards people, dogs, cats and kids.  They have both been micro-chipped.  Also, they are both excellent on a leash. There is no problem at all walking both of them at the same time.  T-Bar Name:  Maverick T-Bar Number: D201 Weight: 55 lbs Sex:  Neutered Male Age on 12/2006:  2 years Breed:  Shepherd – on the small side Color:  Black with white highlights ADOPTED – Thank You! Location: Brenham, Texas Description: Maverick was lost, desperately searching for the family he loved so dearly. It all happened so quickly. One minute he was enjoying a truck ride with his family, and the next minute he’s standing bewildered at the side of the road as they speed off without him. “They must not realize I’m not with them”, he must have thought. He waited patiently for them to return, but they didn’t. So he went looking. And that’s how Maverick was found – without his family, but wanting one so badly. Maverick is a beautiful, black Shepherd mix with white splashed across his chest, and on the smaller side, like a border collie vs. a full-size shepherd. Someone spent time training him because he has great manners – walks well on a leash, comes when called, and sits when asked. He would do anything to please you. He’s a little older so he’s past the chewing stage and calmer than some of the younger dogs. Maverick is neutered and had his shots. All he needs now is that special someone who will love and care for him for the rest of his life.  For more information, call TBAR today at 936-878-2349 T-Bar Name:  Alpha T-Bar Number: D272 Weight: 15 lbs Sex: Boy Puppy Age on 10/1/2007: 12 weeks Breed: Pointer / Great Pyrenees  Color: White with Brindle coloring on his head ADOPTED – Thank You!

She was dumped out on a dark country road (which is illegal), tied to a bag of dog food.  Kim was sure to be someone’s dinner – and she knew it. A few hours before,  she was safe and warm in a house with a family – what could she have done to deserve this punishment? Just in the nick of time, Kim was spotted and rescued by a TBAR officer and whisked out of danger. This 8 month old, Blue Heeler / Jack Russell mix is a friendly, playful little girl that wants someone to run & play with & no matter what, will love her always.

PICTURE UNAVAILABLE T-Bar Name:  Midnight T-Bar Number: D239 Weight: 14 lbs Sex:  Neutered Boy Age on 5/2007:  4-5 years Breed:  Long-haired Dachshund/ Cocker Spaniel Color:  Black with curly hair ADOPTED – Thank You! Location: Washington, Texas Description: “I just want to be somebody’s baby” is what Midnight says. Midnight’s story starts off wonderfully – he was loved and adored by an elderly couple. He was their one and only baby and enjoyed being with them, sitting next to them on the sofa, sleeping in bed with them at night, and being adored. But then the man got sick, and unfortunately for Midnight, that meant a new home. We don’t know what happened next, only that he was found wandering the streets alone and scared. Midnight came to True Blue Anima Rescue (TBAR) where he is looking for one last forever home. This adorable, 4-5 year old, black, long-haired dachshund boy (with a little bit of Cocker Spaniel), loves to go on walks, ride in the car, and just be by your side. He has the cutest trick when you give him a treat, and his deep, dark eyes emanate love. Midnight isn’t fond of cats, so he would like a cat-free home where he can have your undivided attention. Midnight is neutered and had all his shots.

If you sit on the floor, she’ll come over, stand up on her hind legs and give you a hug. .

Location: Washington, TX Description: Some of us like vanilla pudding, some like chocolate, some even like our pudding mixed. The Pudding found at True Blue Animal Rescue is a mix that shakes and wiggles and gives you that warm fuzzy feeling. This Pudding wants to stay with some happy person through thick or thin.Pudding was recently adopted and thought she found her forever home. She got along great with the other dogs and behaved beautifully, even in her crate. But her new ‘mom’ found she didn’t have enough time for Pudding… Poor Pudding… There is absolutely nothing wrong with this girl. Pudding is a friendly and affectionate Staffordshire/Boxer mix. She walks well on a leash and sits when you ask her to. She would be a great indoor pet or outdoor pet. When she is outside she will stay right with you and come when she’s called; and she’s crate trained. She has been spayed. She’s in perfect health, beautiful, and ready for her forever home – the LAST one. UPDATE 3/2007: Pudding was adopted and reunited with her sibling, Honey. They are so happy to be together and in a loving, forever home! THANK YOU!

Location: Washington, Texas Description: Todd was out front of a little store between Navasota and Washington begging someone to feed it or love it, when Melanie, the founder of TBAR, saw him.

Then, low and behold, after everyone else passed by him and left him, and he came up to Melanie at her car. Now he’s safe at TBAR. He’s a little guy, probably weighs about 15 pounds. He has all his adult teeth but he isn’t very old, about 8 months or so. He is thin, and certainly couldn’t have survived in a parking lot for the night.

T-Bar Name: Ruby T-Bar #: D212 Weight: 55 lbs Sex: Spayed  Female Age on 1/2007: 2 yrs Breed: Red Hound Color: Orange/Red ADOPTED – Thank You! Location: Houston, TX Description: “You can take the girl out of the country, but you can’t take the country out of the girl” Ruby was rescued near Hempstead where she’s lucky she didn’t get hit by a car. Her rescuers adopted her and she thrived. She’s a beautiful, orange-red color that doesn’t show in this picture (see a full color picture at www.tbar.org ) Her family recently moved into the city and the small backyard  with a waist-high fence just doesn’t work for Ruby. She’s used to wide open spaces. Ruby is 2 years old and is great with the other dogs and their baby. Ruby needs a loving home  in the country where she again has room to swim and play.  She is totally house-broken and very smart.  She can fetch and swim and is extremely good natured. She is spayed and had her shots too.      T-Bar Name: Sedona T-Bar #: D096 Weight: 30 lbs Sex:  Spayed Female Age on 1/2007: 2 yrs Breed:  Shepherd / Labrador Color:  Gold with black highlights ADOPTED – Thank You!  Location: Magnolia, Texas Description: Sedona has found her self-worth. Once a scared dog with low self-esteem, Sedona is now happy and energetic again. Thanks to a loving foster home that reminded her  that she was a beautiful dog, deserving of a loving forever home, Sedona loves life again. She gets along great with other dogs and dog-savvy cats. She’s great with kids and loves to curl up in your lap. It’s not hard to imagine how Sedona lost her confidence – she had a home once, a family of her own; but then one day she found herself tied and forgotten in the backyard. And so she felt worthless. But not any more! If you’re looking for a stunning, intelligent dog to adopt, Sedona will repay you by being your loyal companion always. If you know what it’s like to lose your confidence and then find yourself again, then Sedona might be just right for you.     PICTURE UNAVAILABLE T-Bar Name:  Sarah Burnhardt T-Bar Number: D218 Weight: 15 lbs Sex:  Girl Puppy Age on 2/2007:  3  months Breed:  Great Pyrenees Color:  Blue Eyes ADOPTED – Thank You! Location: Caldwell, Texas Description:      T-Bar Name:  Taz T-Bar Number: D205 Weight: 15 lbs Sex:  Boy  Puppy Age on 12/2006:  3  months Breed:  Labrador / Boxer Color:  Tan and Black with white highlights ADOPTED – Thank You! Location: Washington, Texas Description: “Look into my eyes”, Taz seems to be saying. “Look deeply. You are falling in love with me and want to adopt me”, he continues. This striking brown, tan and white Boxer/Labrador puppy has a hypnotizing look and a sense of humor that shows in his playful attitude and his ability to make you laugh at his antics. Taz’s story in not unique, sadly – the family packed up and moved and left Taz and his siblings behind. Fortunately, the puppies were rescued from their dire situation.  Like any puppy, Taz has plenty of energy and would love attention, walks and play. Taz and Cliff are 4 months old and will be handsome, big dogs. They’ve had their vaccinations; and each comes with a certificate for a neuter.     T-Bar Name: Sweet William T-Bar Number: D180 Weight: 20 lbs Sex: Neutered Male  Age on 8/2006:  adult Breed:  Beagle Color:  Tan, white, and black  ADOPTED – Thank You! Location: Cameron, Texas Description: How often do you find an animal so good-natured that his name is Sweet William? This tan, white, and black Beagle is very laid back and happy just to hang out with you on the porch watching the world go by. Unlike many Beagles who like to bay at the moon – Sweet William is a quiet boy. He’s willing to get along with everyone – including other dogs, and even cats. Incredibly, this loving animal was found lost on the side of a busy road. He’s currently living at a TBAR foster home but very much wants to find a forever home with a good family. If you are looking for a really special buddy and companion, this friendly boy could be the one. He is already neutered and has his shots, and is ready to go home with you.      T-Bar Name:  Maverick T-Bar Number: D201 Weight: 55 lbs Sex:  Neutered Male Age on 12/2006:  2 years Breed:  Shepherd  Color:  Black with white highlights ADOPTED – Thank You! Location: Washington, Texas Description: Maverick was lost, desperately searching for the family he loved so dearly. It all happened so quickly. One minute he was enjoying a truck ride with his family, and the next minute he’s standing bewildered at the side of the road as they speed off without him. “They must not realize I’m not with them”, he must have thought. He waited patiently for them to return, but they didn’t. So he went looking. And that’s how Maverick was found – without his family, but wanting one so badly. Maverick is a beautiful, black Shepherd mix with white splashed across his chest, and on the smaller side, like a border collie vs. a full-size shepherd. Someone spent time training him because he has great manners – walks well on a leash, comes when called, and sits when asked. He would do anything to please you. He’s a little older so he’s past the chewing stage and calmer than some of the younger dogs. Maverick is neutered and had his shots. All he needs now is that special someone who will love and care for him for the rest of his life.  For more information, call TBAR today at 936-878-2349     T-Bar Name:  Cliff T-Bar Number: D206 Weight: 15 lbs Sex:  Boy  Puppy Age on 12/2006:  3  months Breed:  Labrador / Boxer Color:  Tan with white and black highlights ADOPTED – Thank You!

Location: Washington, Texas Description: Toby is a playful, energetic young boy who doesn’t seem to be phased by his rough start in life. Found by a good Samaritan, poor Toby had been on his own long enough to get eaten up by fleas and worms; but nothing a vet visit and a bath or two couldn’t cure. Toby loves kids and grown-ups alike and is ready to play when you are – unless of course, he’s napping!      T-Bar Name: Princess T-Bar Number: D165 Weight: 12 lbs Sex: Spayed Female  Age on 4/2006:   Breed:  Shitzu  Color:  Cream ADOPTED – Thank You!
