Passionate For Pups

05/24/2024

Back at boarding! Kennels are open and quite full for the summer! Can’t wait to meet new pups and see all my favorites! First boarders are Libby and her new sister Birdie. I also have a foster pup who’ll be headed north with, A Place for Ace, rescue. My heart is full.

Although the fundraiser is to help in Leo’s recovery, he passed over the rainbow yesterday. Leo was a very dedicated, hard working and lovable service dog. I had the pleasure of training Leo when he was just a pup. His biggest issue was being too friendly. Unfortunately, he became ill and the vets did everything they could to save him, but it was his time. It has been devastating to JB (his veteran) and now on top of loosing Leo, he owes about $5,000 in vet bills trying to save him.

Leo went with JB on a weekly basis to a variety of classes and workout sessions at the Y. He was by JB’s side while he swam in the pool and lifted weights. The fundraiser was set up by one of the many people touched by Leo at the Y. He lit up every room he walked into. All of this helped JB learn to socialize more easily, sleep better at night and if he fell, Leo was right there for support. He will be truly missed by all of us, but especially JB. He left us way too soon. 💔

The bestest boy, Leo, is in need of our help. JB received the unfortunate news that L… Madisyn Pigg needs your support for Join Hands for Leo's Recovery

One of the sweetest moments to witness. My foster had her pup. Yes, just one. Kalli is the best mom ever. Delivered without any issues. I was just there on standby. Now she’s being the best mom ever. Both will be up for adoption in about 10 weeks. 🥰

03/16/2023

These two fosters have stole my heart. They are settling in and are so loving and fun. They both like belly rubs and give kisses. Kalli is crazy about fetch and loves a game of tug. So playful! Kassi, the young puppy, is walking well on leash, potty trained and crate trained. I’m sure both will make a great companion to anyone looking for a fun, loving pup. Interested? Come meet them and see for yourself. Drop me a pm to schedule a meet and greet. If not, please share. These girls so deserve a new loving forever family. 🤗

Kalli and Kassi are having fun and learning more and more to help them in their new forever homes. Both girls are house broken. We are working on leash manners and both are sitting for meals. They both love the ball and fetch. Kalli is very focused, Kassi, being the pup, is still learning the game. Both are sweet and like to give kisses. Due to the lack of socialization they are a bit leery of strangers. They are growing more and more comfortable with every day. They are looking for a loving home and a companion who will be their person. Please share and help these pups find new homes.

Kalli and Kassi have arrived. They were found running the highways in northern Texas. A sweet lady picked them up, tried to find their home and unsuccessfull, had to bring them home. So glad I have the pleasure of fostering these two pups. Kalli is about 2 yrs old, loves the game of fetch, house trained and has some basic obedience. She’s learning to trust and will get lots of socialization during her stay.

Kassi is about 4 months. She seems to be house trained and enjoys toys and chews. She is learning to trust and will also get lots of socialization and some basic training while staying here. They are up for adoption. They have been vaccinated and will be spay in the coming weeks. If you are interested in meeting these girls, just drop me a note. I suggest they go to two separate homes.

A volunteer with a heart of gold stopped on her way home from visiting family in Northern Texas and saved these two pups from getting hit on the side of the road. She tried to find their home before bringing them down here. We are now looking for homes for them. They are a momma and pup which I suggest going to separate homes. They will come stay with me for a few weeks. If you are interested in meeting them and/or helping with their socialization please contact me. They will begin their stay on 2/25 if they haven’t been adopted.

Here’s what their foster mom has to say:

(Mama) and Kassi were found on the side of the highway, starving and cold … they are good pups 🐶 that love to play. Kalli loves being around people but it takes her a bit to warm up. She loves to play and has a lot of energy, she knows a lot of commands and minds real well.🙂 Kassi seems to only know Kalli, but has warmed up to us so much! She’s a very sweet pup! They both are! They are both up to date on vaccines but not yet spayed.

This pup is available for adoption. Graysie is up to date on vaccines, spayed, heartworm negative and fostered by a very caring young lady. She is about 2-3 yrs old, weighs about 45lbs, dog friendly and loves people (young and old). Graycie was found injured on the street and was rescued and vetted. Here’s what the foster has to report:

“Meet Graysie, a.k.a Bowie, nicknamed after her iconic blue/brown David Bowie eyes. This little rock star is a 2 ½ year old yellow shepherd mix who is ready to find a loving permanent family. Graysie is one of the sweetest dogs you’ll ever meet. She is a big fan of humans (including children) and gets along with other dogs.

Graysie is fully potty trained and is very well behaved—knows how to sit and stay. She loves to take long walks, play with her ball, but most of all, she LOVES to cuddle (big time!). She is spayed and all up to date in her vaccines. Please help us find a loving home for this loving girl. “ Please share and help Graysie find a new home.

A client of mine found an elderly sweet pup that needs a new home. She has had the dog checked by a vet and she is now up to date on her vaccines and was already spay. She is around 8-9 yrs old and seems to get along with other dogs. If you would like to give this old girl a loving home drop me a message. Please share. 🙂

The best way to beat the heat! Pearl and Cam enjoying the perks of staying at a small kennel.

Cam went from not wanting to go into the water to putting her feet in to full fledge swimmer!

Molly chases this deer and yet she comes back with interest and Molly then blows her off. Too funny! (Watch both videos)

I received a call this morning about three border collie/ lab looking pups were dumped in someone’s yard. They are about 10-11 weeks old. I don’t have much info on them but looking for a rescue who might be able to take them. They have not been vetted yet. They were found 4 days ago.

It’s a frenchie in the pool! After helping Ballinger into the pool the first time, he never looked back! This little guy loves the water.

06/05/2022

Deer’s reaction to Ballinger, priceless!
Ballinger’s reaction, should I care? I’m a Frenchie, I’m in control. 😆

After several weeks of shoulder recovery, my friends are back at my kennels! It was a welcome sight to have Parker come stay last week. And this week starts with Nelson. What a good boy he is.

A lab, a hound and a border collie. Great group for a Puppy play time!

04/13/2022

It takes patience working with a hound as they are not afraid to tell you how they feel. After two days, King got it!

Two puppies here at boot camp improving their manners. After a long day of training they had a play session. They seem great together. I’m sure their play will get a bit more ‘active’ in the coming days. Believe it or not, these two pups are the same age, 5 months.

03/13/2022

Luna and Mia are the cutest. They still try to go through the doggy door together and that just doesn’t work! 🤣

02/21/2022

Behr and Liam, fun at first site! They were so cute together. Size does not always matter. Temperament is what keeps harmony.

02/12/2022

I just met Calvin, very sweet pup who came from the Houston ACS. He’s looking for a forever home.

01/27/2022

Indie is trying so hard to get Behr to play. These pups are only 2 weeks apart in age!

01/15/2022

Norm and Tikka, puppy play time! Great socialization.
