Pet of the Week: Sable

Posted on June 16, 2014August 23, 2021 by Loretta

Sable was rescued by a good Samaritan on April 25, 2014, when he and his brother, Slate, were only about 4 days old. This kind person watched to see if the mother came back for them but she never returned for her babies so they were taken in and a bottle baby foster was found for them so they would get a chance to live.

Sable is a grey/brown tabby kitten (either short haired or medium haired –he has a little fluff going on right now) who will be looking for his forever home once he turns 8 weeks old on June 16, 2014, but applications are being accepted in the meantime. Sable is the typical rambunctious kitten; he likes to crawl over his brother and cry when it’s “feed me” time and falls quickly asleep after eating. He’s a talker right now, begging for love and attention at all times and loves the company of his foster mom. Sable loves his pitbull sister and protector, Lily, but is ready to look for his own forever family!

T-Bar is a no kill rescue organization and we operate totally by foster homes. Please help us find homes for all our animals. If you are interested in meeting or adopting Sable, please email [email protected] or call (936)878-2349 and leave a voicemail. Your call will be returned as soon as possible.

Pet of the Week: Firecracker

Posted on June 9, 2014August 23, 2021 by Loretta

Firecracker is a sweet adult gelding that will come up and look for attention whenever he sees people. He is halter broke and is being worked on the ground – he will soon be ready to start under saddle. He’s a small gelding, around 14hh, so he will make a great kid’s horse after training. He and his three pasture mates were left to starve in a field when law enforcement stepped in and took them away. They were turned over to T-Bar so they could be fed and taught to love people. Since that has been done, Firecracker is now looking for his forever home. Someone who can take the time to teach him everything else he needs to know to become the beautiful riding horse he was meant to be. For more information on Firecracker or any other T-Bar animal, please email help@t-bar.org or call (936) 878-2349. T-BAR is a no-kill rescue. Save a life and adopt instead of buying a pet..

Pet of the Week: Summer

Posted on June 8, 2014August 23, 2021 by Loretta

On March 8, 2014, True Blue Animal Rescue was asked to step in and take custody of a dog in Somerville, Texas. TBAR founders, Dale and Melanie DeAeth, were accompanied by Somerville police to respond to reports that a dog was being severely neglected. Thankfully the dog, later named Summer, was not completely emaciated since a kindly neighbor had been attempting to give the dog food. When TBAR staff met Summer, she was friendly and extremely happy to see people. All she wanted to do was give kisses and be near people, despite the neglect she had been experiencing.Summer was taken to the vet immediately after being seized from the owner. The vet discovered that she was heavy heartworm positive and would need expensive heartworm treatment. Because TBAR is a no-kill rescue and believes if the animal has a good quality of life and treatment is available, Summer was not euthanized due to financial burden and instead Summer blossomed in her foster home during her heartworm treatment. Summer loves playing in the yard and chewing on her toys. She also loves to play tug-o-war and is very gentle. Summer dreams of the day she will have a forever family who loves and spoils her and shows her that not all people are cruel. Can you make this sweet girl’s dream come true?If you think Summer would be a wonderful addition to your family, please contact True Blue Animal Rescue by emailing [email protected] or leaving a voice mail at (936)878-2349 and we will return your call at our earliest convenience.You can also visit our website at www.t-bar.org for more information about TBAR.

Pet of the Week: Bandit

Posted on June 2, 2014August 23, 2021 by Alissa

Are you prepared for total cuteness? Because TBAR’s new little Bandit is looking for a forever home! Bandit was born during January 2013 and has been neutered, vaccinated, dewormed and received a negative heartworm result. He loves going outside, running and playing in the sun. He loves everything and everyone, especially having a loved life finally! Bandit is a small dog, weighing under 20 lbs and would do well with a family who has a yard for him to get his puppy energy out or as a daily running partner. His best friend is a year old hound dog named, Punkin, and they are inseparable whether indoors or out. Being part heeler, Bandit will need daily exercise and attention. He doesn’t mind the idea of having other fur-siblings to play with either. Bandit would be so happy to have you as his new family, so will you give him a chance at his happily ever after?

For more information on adopting Bandit or any other TBAR adoptable animal, please email [email protected] or call (936) 878-2349 and leave a voicemail. TBAR is volunteer run and will respond to your message at the volunteer’s earliest convenience. Remember to spay or neuter your pets to help in the fight against overpopulation of homeless animals.

Pet of the Week: Patrick

Posted on May 5, 2014August 23, 2021 by Loretta

Patrick was found on the streets of Bellville with his buddy, Roxie. These two were starving, homeless and in need of veterinary care. True Blue Animal Rescue took them into their foster program and sent them straight to the vet to for a full exam, deworming and vaccinations. Patrick is thriving in his foster home with his dog and cat siblings. He loves to chew his toys while laying in his doggie bed or running around the yard playing with his doggie friend, Jack.

Patrick made it clear that his experience on the streets had given him encounters with bigger dogs already. Jack growled once and Patrick bowed his little head and hunched his shoulders. The puppy was going into a submissive stance to try and let Jack know things are ok. This dance has been repeated a lot in the first week with Patrick, through no fault of the new arrival. Jack has trust issues and Patrick is responding very well. He gives Jack space, he knows not to try and play with Jack unless Jack invites him.

Patrick picked up crate training pretty fast. If Patrick were an over-eager dog, or insistent on jumping on Jack or the cats, adding him to the foster’s pack would have required more work on their part. Thankfully, Patrick seems to be one of those dogs that is Heaven-sent. He already knows to nap on a dog bed, or sit there and play.

If you are interested in adopting Patrick, please email [email protected] or call (936) 878-2349 for more information.

Pet of the Week: Gracie

Posted on April 28, 2014August 23, 2021 by Loretta

Gracie was found at a business office as a recently pregnant stray, but when no babies could be found. She showed signs of needing immediate medical attention so she was taken to the local Houston shelter by an animal control officer. One of the ladies who worked at the business office wanted to help Gracie get medical attention and find her a home, but since her apartment doesn’t allow “bully breeds” they would not allow her to pull Gracie to be boarded at the vet for medical care while she searched for a foster or adoptive home.

Lily was touched by Gracie’s gentle, loving and trusting personality and couldn’t see this sweet dog be put to sleep. So she reached out to every animal rescue she could find on the internet for help pulling Gracie from the shelter so that she could get medical care and find a loving home. TBAR responded and helped pull Gracie from the shelter and Lily took her to the vet. Gracie had sarcoptic mange as well as a low positive heartworm result. She was treated for the mange and heartworms while being boarded by the vet and has been spayed. She has done well with the other dogs at the kennel she’s been moved to while an adoptive or foster home can be found for her.

If you are interested in fostering or adopting this sweet girl, please contact True Blue Animal Rescue by emailing [email protected] or leaving a voicemail at(936)878-2349 and we will return your call as soon as possible.

Pet of the Week: Joey

Posted on April 21, 2014August 23, 2021 by Loretta

TBAR’s Pet of the Week is a very sweet and lovable guy named Joey. Joey is a very socialized kitty who likes other cats and even dogs! All he wants is a family who will let him cuddle on their laps and give him some toys to play with in between catnaps. Joey has sadly been overlooked by many adopters and is asking one family to give him a shot at a forever home.

Joey has three strikes against him, but that shouldn’t mean a life sentence without a forever home! All Joey needs is a really special person to look past his shortcomings and see Joey with all of their heart. After all, Joey’s heart is still open, loving and willing, even after all he’s been through. His life started out on the street, fending for himself, which is where his eye got infected. Fortunately, Joey was rescued, but it was too late to save his eye. He doesn’t mind at all, hopefully you won’t either. That’s one strike against him. Joey is also an adult cat now, not a kitten any more. Strike two. The final strike against Joey is he is FIV+. Strike three. Most people read that without any knowledge of FIV and lose interest in this sweet and deserving guy. FIV is typically only transmitted by fighting tomcats and Joey’s possibility of transmitting FIV is next to nothing since he has been neutered and has absolutely no aggressive tendencies. Joey should live out a happy, normal life just like any other healthy cat and would be so happy to spend his life with a family of his own – he wouldn’t mind a puppy or kitty friend either!

Joey has been waiting a long time for someone with a heart of gold. Are you that special someone that can see his beauty, his strong heart ready to love, and give him a chance to be your special cat? He will love you in return, with purrs & kisses!

If you are looking for or would like more information on Joey, or another TBAR animal, please call 936-878-2349 or email, [email protected]

Pet of the Week: Cool Whip

Posted on April 14, 2014August 23, 2021 by Loretta

Who couldn’t love a face like Pup’s (aka Cool Whip)? Cool Whip is sweet, highly intelligent and very obedient. She loves cuddling on the couch with her foster or playing in the yard during the day. Cool Whip was rescued from a known puppy flipper in Houston. A flipper is someone who either steals an animal or gets “free to good home” animals from websites like Craigslist and then sells them making a large profit off of the animals who just want a family who will love them forever. The kind woman who rescued Cool Whip searched for a family who could have possibly had her stolen from them, but no one came forward. Since a previous owner cannot be found, she has been accepted into TBAR’s foster program so that we can help find her a loving, forever family who will cherish.

Cool Whip is about 8 months old, fully housebroken and would love to find her forever family who will love her till the end of her days. She will certainly return the favor! If you think Cool Whip would be a wonderful addition to your family, please contact True Blue Animal Rescue by emailing[email protected] or leaving a voicemail at (936) 878-2349 and we will return your call at our earliest convenience.

Pets of the Week: Three Musketeers

Posted on April 6, 2014August 23, 2021 by Loretta

This week T-Bar got in the Three Musketeers: three beautiful donkeys that are looking for a home. Once you have a donkey, they are in your life forever. Their antics with people and with other four legged creatures are a sight to behold. Porthos is brown and 4 years old,

Athos is white and 10 years old and Aramis is a two year old white donkey. Like the three Musketeers they wandered a neighborhood in Burleson County. When nobody claimed them the sheriffs dept took ownership of them and asked us to take them. They now have had their tetanus shot, gelded, and ready for their new home. They are sweet and gentle and didn’t cause any problems with any of the people or animals in the neighborhood they wandered around in. If you’d like one, two or even three donkeys these sweet boys are available for adoption or foster.

If you can’t take a donkey but would like to help please donate toward their vet bill by sending a donation to T-Bar at http://www.t-bar.org, paying by pay pal or send a payment directly to Brenham Vet Hospital 2455 Highway 290 West Brenham TX 77833-6806 or call them at 979-836-2472. T-Bar never recoups money on vet bills from adoption fees alone. We need everyone to help by donating.
