Lone Star Dog Ranch & Dog Ranch Rescue

She has been released from the shelter and is on her way to meet her driver Julia at the sanctuary. She is absolutely gorgeous and looks very pregnant to me, I will head over to the sanctuary when she arrives and get a closer look at her.

She’s a happy girl ❤️ Mookie!

Mookie had a nice bath, she was covered in fleas, she’s very thin and enjoyed having herself a yummy dinner. She weighed in at 43 pounds, Aimi said she to pick her up and put her on the cot, but she laid down fast. Could barely keep her eyes open. Only lifted her head to give my hand kisses😭😭😭 We are so happy for her to be with us. Goodnight everyone

We will discuss this girls rescue at length in this weekends podcast. I thought you might like to watch Travis work with her on assessing who she is with other dogs. What we see in this video is a very insecure dog, she doesn’t have any dog skills, and will have to learn them as she settles in. What we are looking for is any aggression where the dog is going forward. That’s not what you see here from Mookie, you will see her bare her teeth and maybe even snap a little but what she’s communicating to them is she’s afraid, please move away from me, I’m trying to figure this all out. Travis reassured her when he can see she has no aggression just to let her know her behavior is okay, she will be fine, she will thrive, and most importantly she is safe, and she will know that, and feel confident about that in just a matter of a few hours with the other dogs showing her just that.

This person is her hero, sadly the majority of people would have turned a blind eye and gone about their busy lives. We have found out that she’s been tied out here for a year and a half. A year and a freaking half, I immediately recall what kind of weather we have had over the past year and a half. Freezing cold, freezing cold rain, pouring rain, lightning, thunder, tornado warnings. Heat, and more heat. All the while she’s tied up out here. She’s on her way to us now, her nightmare is over. She’s one of the very few lucky ones. If she had ended up in a shelter she would not have come out alive. Instead she’s been forced to endure this, but not anymore. We have a few dogs I will announce today coming into the rescue and all will be named after Dodger players, so with that, say hello to Mookie. ❤️

I’ll say good night from Buckwheat hospitalized at the ER. Unfortunately he has just been feeling poorly, vomiting, not wanting to eat, dehydrated and feeling bad. Emma took him yesterday to the hospital. Not finding anything major just seems to be some form of gastroenteritis, he’s on fluids and medicine to make him feel better but he needed a little time with them and as usual they are spoiling him completely. Feel better Buckwheat, goodnight everyone

Spanky has lots of slobbery kisses if you want some 😂

I hope seeing videos like this of these mill dogs just relaxing and having fun brings you as much joy as it does us.

We wanted to let you have a little peek at Sally’s babies out and exploring for the first time. We still have 4 of these babies that don’t have homes. Their mama Sally is a Peke the daddy was a Poodle. Sally was sold at a mill auction with babies in tow and they are all very lucky to have been rescued. They won’t be ready for adoption until Nov 16th but Laura is working applications now for the pups so they will all be ready to leave when they are 8 weeks old. Happily mama Sally has a family as well. dogranchrescue.com

Poor Lou Lou Belle has come down with a nasty upper respiratory infection from being in the shelter. She’s a sick girl and not feeling well at all 🙁

Mr. Wallace needs a very good attorney to represent him in a court of law. Any volunteers that work pro bono, he’s got no money and doesn’t even have pockets, but he can’t stop breaking the law.

What makes your baths more fun Lou Lou Belle? How about some cheese 🧀

Just a big group of helpers this morning 😂

I always hesitate when it’s time to test a dog with chickens, I know that many of my own dogs would kill my chickens in a split second, Bubbles and Bibble come to mind immediately. We have a potential home for Zannah that has chickens in their backyard so any dog would have to co-exist. I was very pleasantly surprised that she literally had zero interest in them. Fingers crossed ❤️
