We had another visit from one of our favorite friends. This young lady collected food for the animals again and made the trip out to deliver it in person. Thank you Emery for another great supply of horse feed, dog food and dog treats! You are making a difference in the lives of animals!
A Special Thank you to all the Officers, Staff, and Volunteers that helped us here at True Blue Animal Rescue during 2016!!
We had 8 instances of our last fundraiser of the year, pet photos with Santa. Thanks to all staff volunteers who coordinate and help with these events!
True Blue Animal Rescue hosts a page called RAIN Networking. We use that page to network Rescue Animals In Need. That means they haven’t been officially accepted into TBAR because they don’t have a foster home so we ‘network for a home’ We do pay for spay / neuter if they aren’t fixed but we list them before that’s done to find a foster or adopter quickly. We post with the contact for the person who has the animal so we don’t always hear back to find out if they found a home. This week we did hear that these two DID find homes. Networking works and we can use your help. Like our RAIN Networking Facebook page and share to help our networking pets find homes!
True Blue Animal Rescue brought adoptable dogs to Brenham’s Hot Nights Cool Tunes community event in July. That was where Judge met his new family. They met him there and fell in love. Now Judge is happy in his new home! Thanks to Cheryl for fostering till he found his new family. If you’d like to foster or adopt please contact us at help@t-bar.org to find out how! www.t-bar.org
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 help@t-bar.org for more information

Thank you to Bambi’s foster mom for helping this sweet girl get healthy! Foster homes make all the difference.
“This is a before and today picture of Bambi.. she was the pup we found in a ditch cold and scared. She has come a long way but still has a bit to go. She is the sweetest dog in the world doesn’t bark or jump on the kids or anybody for that matter. SHe loves to be inside in her chair . She is going to be an amazing pet.” – Foster Mom
Austin County Deputy Nathan Hale saw these horses starving and immediately pulled them and brought them to safety. They went to court and had them awarded to rescue to guarantee their safety. They are now in foster homes, gaining weight and getting vet and farrier care. We cannot thank Austin County enough for caring about animals and working toward putting an end to abuse and neglect in their county.
True Blue Animal Rescue’s adopted dog, Stumpy graduated from obedience training at 1st Step Dog Training’s obedience training. He also passed the Good Canine Citizen test so he could be a therapy reading dog at Alton Elementary in Brenham, TX. Thank you Alex Aldama for teaching Stumpy how to be a therapy dog! He spent his first day in school meeting the kids and letting them read to him. Stumpy can now, sit, lie down, stay and come. He doesn’t jump up anymore and he walks well on a leash. Check out 1st Step for all your pet training and grooming needs.
Today was a big day for Stumpy! It was his first day of school. He’ll be going to First Step Training in Brenham for the next two weeks so he can earn his Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certification. Once he’s certified as a CGC he’ll be able to go to elementary schools so children can read to him. This wonderful program will help children become confident readers while learning compassion and empathy for animals! Stumpy will be True Blue Animal Rescue’s first CGC reading dog.
