Maya is about a one-year old rescue from the Mexican border. Maya is a happy and very active mix. She is undergoing vetting and due for a spay in December. She is learning basic commands and is doing very well on the lead with her harness. She loves other dogs but has unknown behavior with cats. She has a magnificent smile, attitude and appetite. She is sponge for direction and she wants so much to please. Her plush toys are a favorite and she is learning all about human touch and cuddle.
Loki is an estimated four year old Australian shepherd mix. He was originally brought into rescue several months ago when his owner was being evicted from the family ranch. Loki is actually believed to be Kyla’s brother. Kyla is also in our program. Loki is a pretty rambunctious and strong young guy. He is probably around 50 pounds. He was adopted out by our rescue but Loki was returned as he was just too much for the older and small statured owners. He pulls very strongly on walks and can be reactive towards other dogs and cats that he encounters. Without aides such as a gentle leader he can pull over an inattentive walker. With those that he knows he can be a very sweet boy and he has been good with dogs that he has been properly introduced to and lives with. We would probably not recommend a cat family. We think he would be good with older kids. He can be a bit of a barker in the yard if not corrected.
Loki has no known health issues, is neutered, microchipped, and current on shots.
Rosie is a sweet 7 year old Collie mix that was rescued from a shelter in El Paso, Texas. She had been found wandering as a stray. When we first met her, she was emaciated, had an eye infection, had an infected hole in her right flank from a pellet or BB gun, was sporting a golf ball sized tumor on her underside, needed a dental badly, and was not yet spayed. Upon complete vetting, tumor removal and xrays, she appears to have a slight degree of hio dysplasia, but nothing that stoos her from getting around and even jumping up. P
She is housebroken, socialized and good with people. She is not fond of cats or dominent female dogs. She will make a great family pet.
Ruby is an approximately eight year old female “farm collie” that was returned to our program due to medical issues with Ruby’s owner. Ruby is an easy-going, sweet girl. She's a beautiful mohagony sable collie mix, but she looks just like a farm collie. She loves to run and play with her foster families two male dogs, one 8 month old collie, and one big Belgian Tervuren. She is fully housebroken, knows commands, and walks nicely on a lead. She is a gentle soul, and always aims to please. We don’t don't know her cat history so we can't say how she would do, but she is easily trained. Ruby got the hang of the foster doggie door in one day, on her own.
There are currently no dogs on medical hold. All available dogs are listed above.
