Meet Shadow.
Border collie/blk Shepard mix.
Neutered male, approx 1 to 2 yrs old.
Shadow came to us as a stray. But this guy is awesomeness.
He went to Colorado but had to come back because he had no intetest at the adoption events.
I spent two days with him on the trip back to Texas.
He is a perfect gentleman.
Loves treats, learning basic commands, loves to snuggle.
House trained.
Shadow absolutely loves other dogs of all sizes.
He is just a pup still but such a loving boy.
He would love a backyard to run in and a friend to play with.

Shadow needs a family ASAP. as we aren't sure how long the foster can keep him.

The Emotional Impact of Rescue – What People Don’t Always See 💔🐾

Rescue work is often portrayed as inspiring—and it is. But behind every rescue is a weight that’s rarely spoken about.

Rescuers and carers often suffer quietly:

🌧️Compassion fatigue – constant exposure to suffering wears you down.

🌧️Burnout – the emotional cost of always being needed, of never being able to do enough.

🌧️ Witnessing trauma – seeing neglect, cruelty, abandonment.

🌧️Making impossible decisions – when you can’t save them all.

🌧️ No support system – many carers work alone, with no therapy, no backup, no rest.

🌧 Dealing with people who are unwilling to be part of the solution by being irresponsible pet owners, refusing to spay and neuter, those who chain their pets, letting their pets roam free constantly, breeding for a quick penny, animal abusers, and more.

And still—they show up. Every. Single. Day.

Some rescuers carry multiple responsibilities and that in itself is taxing.

A full-time job, household responsibilities, family obligations, owned pets - not including fosters. Rescue comes with many hats and there are many that don’t just juggle one role.

We need to talk about the emotional toll of caring.
Because the truth is: saving animals often breaks the people doing the saving.

If you know someone doing rescue work—check on them. Help them. Listen.

They carry more than you realize. 🐾💕

In honor of National Animal Care & Control Appreciation Week and to all of the individuals involved in Animal Welfare, doing far more than anyone truly understands.

We see you... 💓

Hugs and love to all my animal welfare heroes and advocates out there. 🫶 Remember, YOU matter too.

Rescue is hard !!!!
Running a rescue is really hard!!!
We need help...
Some appreciation of our personal lives and our schedules would be great.
We (only 2 of us) have full time jobs, houses to keep up, families to tend to. Among running the rescue as well.
Transport is super tough. Prepping for the trip, driving ALL night long (no we don't stop to sleep in hotels with a van load of animals), unload and driving home then we finally get home it's back to work. Rest is for when we die.. 🤣🤣
Understanding would be great. When you commit to helping us out please don't change your mind or change the schedule. The only real ones that suffer are the animals.
And it puts us behind also.
It's very stressful trying to save lives, finding awesome fosters( Yes, all of you are awesome & we couldn't do it without you)
But sometimes we need to breath and not worry so much.
We love everyone that is in our HH family but please remember we do have personal lives as well.

Don't forget to come on out and join us..
Play with puppies and find your new family member.

Any foster please bring your babies. We will not be doing any drop off/pick ups this event. So please plan on bringing yours if you can.
Please let us know so we can have the correct amount of crates for your babies.
We will be set up in the Lockwood distilling parking lot. Next to food trucks.. yay..

See you guys there !!!!

" FETCHING FRIDAY"
"BLAKE"

Blake is a super sweet boy.
Approx 3 yrs old. Neutered male. Heartworm neg.
Current on vaccines..
Blake is a super duper sweet velcro pup once he gets used to his person.
Blake came to us from Odessa, Texas from an abusive home. He isn't really sure of people at first but comes around super fast.
He absolutely loves all other dogs and doesn't mind cats.
He is nervous around loud noise but just runs for comfort from his human.
This boy is a super sweet heart ❤️.
He will need someone that will be patient with him the first few days but it truly pays off with his love and affection.
Could you be his hero love ???
