SUNNY & TEX

Tex

Sunny

 2-4-2011: Sunny & Tex are two aussies that were in a shelter near Dallas Texas. Tex had been living outside since June of last year at this shelter and had minimal coverage when winter set in.
Sunny was a 'Breeder' dog and was no longer useful to the person using her and was dropped off at the shelter. When Dallas was hit with sub-zero temperatures, we were contacted to see if we could help. Over 100 DOGS were in the same situation. With the help of a fellow Aussie owner - Linda Martin, we were able to get Sunny and Tex to her vet for much needed care. They had internal parasites, ear infections, were matted and dirty and smelled.

2-17-2011: Sunny and Tex are being released from the vet clinic and are being placed into foster care while we start looking for homes for them.
A HUGE Thank You goes to everyone, especially Linda Martin that helped save these two wonderful little dogs!!
If interested in either dog, please contact ATR through the website, 'Inquiry' page

BONZER UPDATE

David and Bobbie here in Atlanta that I placed rescue dog Teddy with 5 years ago for the first time looked at the rescue facebook listing last night while watching Westminster and saw Bonzer. Their first Aussie, now gone, was diabetic and ...they are familiar with diabetic care. As long as Bonzer gets along with Teddy, and there is no reason to think he will not, they will take him next week. The owner is very very relieved, as I am. When a door closes a window always opens for these dogs. Thanks to facebook and to our friends who have one rescue dog and have opened their hearts for another one.

BONZER

Adoptive retirement home needed for a ten year old well managed diabetic dog. His owners are in poor health themselves-- the wife has had a severe stroke-- and can no longer care for the dog.

They are in the process of moving to a location where they can get more care and the dog cannot go with them.
His vet records are current and he last saw the vet in Oct.
The dog is crate trained and a loving companion.
He has diabetic related cataracts and is on a joint supplement.
This dog is located in Alabama and cannot be shipped, so any new owner would have to be in driving distance.

This is a heartbreaking decision on the owners part to let this
wonderful dog go, please consider adopting Bonzer

Rescue Dogs in TX

These two dogs were dropped off at a shelter. With the help of a fellow Aussie owner, we were able to get them out of the shelter where they have been living outside since June of last year. The temperatures around Dallas TX have been below freezing lately, and both of these guys were with about 100 other dogs in the same situation.
This is the boy, he is 20 lbs and neutered. He has been named 'Tex' as he has the Texan spirit to survive against all odds.

This is the little girl, she has been named 'Sunny' due to her happy disposition.
She is very friendly and just wants to be loved on and cuddle with anyone who will let her.
She is 15 lbs, spayed and as you can see, soaking up all the attention!
