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]

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.

Pet of the week: Elmer

Posted on March 31, 2014August 23, 2021 by Loretta

Elmer was born shortly after his mother, Mamma-Lynne, was rescued along with 26 other horses. They were all starved and Elmer is one of the miracles! Elmer is a really neat horse. He is odd, in a good way. He seems to prefer human company over horses. He leaves the herd to follow people. He even comes up for petting and to be the center of your attention. He has been started under saddle. He would be someone’s best friend, loyal and faithful, like a big dog! Elmer would do well with a younger rider or someone who would make this amazing boy their world. He would certainly return the favor! Elmer is absolutely beautiful as well as unique and very regal in posture. He has a very fluid, graceful movement about him and makes you catch your breath when he is in motion.

If you are interested in Elmer email [email protected] or call (936) 878-2349.

Zeus

Posted on March 24, 2014August 23, 2021 by Loretta

Zeus is a sweet, loving little 1 year old kitty who is looking for his forever family. He loves play time almost as much as he loves dinner time and would prefer to stay cuddled up with his foster all day if he could. He even tolerates when his human sister dresses him up or takes him on a walk around the house in his very own baby stroller. Zeus got his name because he was the biggest out of a litter of 8 and he felt like he was the big man in town – though his sisters often corrected this misguided thought. Zeus is available for adoption through T-Bar! Please consider adding this adorable boy to your family and he will show you the joy your life was missing. Contact True Blue Animal Rescue to inquire about adopting! Email: [email protected] Phone:(936) 878-2349

Pet of the Week: Meeko

Posted on March 17, 2014August 23, 2021 by Loretta

Meeko is a long-haired Chihuahua looking for a loving home. He has always been an indoor dog so he is fully potty trained and extremely lovable. Meeko is good with other dogs and cats and he even does great with kids too! He loves getting attention and being around people. Won’t you consider bringing this sweet boy home with you?

Pet of the Week: Polar Bear

Posted on March 10, 2014August 23, 2021 by Loretta

Polar Bear is a Great Pyrenees. He is an adult male, neutered, up to date with routine shots, house trained. You can tell by his picture why he was named Polar Bear.

This sweet Great Pyrenees dog wandered up to a kind person who couldn’t turn him away. This poor dog had a large, infected cut on his leg that needed medical attention so he contacted TBAR for help with the vet bills and help finding Polar Bear a forever home.

Polar bear is very friendly with children and adults and does well with the smaller dogs in his foster home. He loves to run and play all day long and would do well with a big yard or some land to run on. Polar Bear gives lots of hugs and adores getting pets and belly rubs. He walks well on a leash. All he needs now is the perfect family to take him home and love him!

For more information on how to adopt Polar Bear, please email [email protected] or call (936) 878-2349.
