Kids Camps 2016
Students from Alton Elementary School came to True Blue Animal Rescue to learn about and ride horses in May. Juan Vendrell TcRanch Horsemanship gave a lesson on handling and saddling horses. The students then enjoyed riding a horse and going on a hay ride. We are currently open to book scout troops, church groups and summer camps to learn about and ride horses. Contact True Blue Animal Rescue www.t-bar.org by calling 936-878-2349 or email [email protected] for more information
Success Story: Mia!
Mia was adopted by Wilbert and Irma Brown, and is thrilled to have a new family to call her own! Congratulations Mia!
TBAR Pet of the Week: Belle
Belle was found by a good Samaritan who contacted TBAR. When Belle was rescued, she had a badly broken back leg. She received surgery on her leg â thanks to generous supporters â and she has healed up nicely. She is an incredibly sweet dog, full of happiness despite her rough start, and has loads of affection to give. Belle is house and crate trained, spayed, heart worm negative, and up to date on all of her vaccinations.

Swimming Safety
Practice Safe Swimming with your family and pets !
Tip 1: While under supervision, teach young dogs and dogs new to the pool where the steps are. Make sure they always exit at the steps so they will remember where to go if they fall in.
Tip 2: Even dogs who love the water often need to be forced to take a break. Always be on the lookout for signs of fatigue.
Tip 3: Not all dogs can swim. Older dogs, heavy dogs, or certain breeds of dogs just don’t get the hang of it immediately. Test your dog in a controlled environment. For these dogs, the safest course of action may be a doggie life vest.
Bonus! Sunglasses Day!
What happens to your pets when you are gone?
What happens when you are gone? Don’t forget about your animal family. Legally, pets are classified as property. But to us, their owners, they are much more.
Legal ways you can deal with this issue is setting up pet trust or guardianship. Another way is to set up a bank account or an investment situation where a lump sum of money could be kept, or set up the beneficiary to be the 501(c)3 animal rescue. In that way, the money in the account is accessible to you, but will go to the charity of your choice upon your death.
Another way to deal with your animal’s future is to write an “Animal Love Letter” to your family.
Attach it to your will. Keep it in a fireproof box with the key in, so no one will steal it. In the letter, outline your wishes for how your animals could be cared for. List names of friends and organizations.
For example:
- This animal belongs to True Blue Animal Rescue and I am only fostering it.
- My BFF might take our older dog and add it to his/her family.
- My Agility dog should go to a home where it can continue competing, here is a list of people who might be able to find him a home.
- I want my horses to find a home through a reputable 501C3 Animal Rescue. Most rescues have a Donation Contract with a surrender fee to help pay for the care of the animal.

Pet of the Week: Mia
Mia was found with a collar grown into her neck. Brenham Human Services took her in and had the collar removed, but she needed more time to gain weight and get ready for adoption, so she came to True Blue Animal Rescue. Now she is healed, healthy and full-weight. If you’d like a friendly and happy boxer mix, MIa is perfect for you. She gets along with other animals and loves to go for walks on a leash or run and play.

Dogs at Buccaneer Blackout again!
David G. Michener, Director of Student Leadership & Activities at Blinn College in Brenham invited True Blue Animal Rescue to bring dogs during their Buccaneer Blackout week again! During this week of exams they plan events to help the students relax and destress! What better way to do that than by hugging and petting a rescue dog! We brought several rescue dogs to help the kids and of course, it’s a wonderful outing for the dogs too. They got lots of exercise, love and attention. Several of these dogs are available for adoption. To see which are adoptable view our pets, and if you’d like to adopt please email [email protected] or call 936-878-2349.
