He roamed the streets for nearly a year 💔
We were made aware of him a week ago .
( A photo of him was sent to me ) with a message that read .
This dog is living at a church near a freeway in Ftw , Tx
The poor dog had been reported to AC and posted on FB .
I followed up by going to the location .
Upon arrival , he was sitting in the field😪
Giving the distance to begin working on evaluating his every move (along with trying to get other dogs and cats out of the cold ) I didn't know if I could pull it off .
Not only did he sleep at the church he considered his home , he would walk the area that would led me through a field and a small community of apartments.
This boy would dig in the trash - cans beginning his morning at 7 am ." he stayed on the move "
By 9 am he would head back to the church .
While it took some time to capture him , it was worth the driving , the amount of time sitting and monitoring the traps ( that at one point he stood on top of the trap ) and looked around as if he knew someone was trying to catch him .
Although it made me giggle , I knew I had to step up my game .
He reminds me of another rescue from years ago named Livvy who also roamed a small community in Burleson, Tx . ( we safely CAPTURED )
This boy would bolt as soon as he saw my truck , he knew my every move ( even from afar ) .
I did the same thing , I knew his every move ( by evaluating and living just like him ) and that is how he was caught !
🚩Here is a closer look at our boy , we are calling " Motley " 🐾💚🐾 it warms our heart that he will no longer live life on the streets and not stuck out in this cold weather .
He is very stressed as to be expected .
This video was right after capture and as soon as we got to my house .
We will get to the grooming part that he needs badly , for now he needs major decompressing .
We've manage to get some of those mats off around his face , what he allowed .
No chip - not neutered .

Part ( 2 )
Little dog abandoned by the dumpster 😪
🌟RESCUED🌟
When I first spotted her , I had to figure out ways to capture her safely .
Thankfully I had a trap in my vehicle !
The first attempt , she wouldn't walk in due to the trap liner ( mat ) it feared her .
So I removed it in hopes she would then walk into the trap .
I wad praying she'd go in literally in tears watching this sweet girl who is beyond terrified .
Part of this video is difficult to watch as she trembles .Trust me I cried !
As she waited and waited ...
I will never understand how someone could just drive away .
So innocent , so fragile .
Well .
Her new life begins , I never left the moment I spotted her .
No foster , no time to spare .
She was RESCUED ! I squeezed her in my home ( we will figure out ) later .
Leaving her was not an option !
She was in DANGER !
Her name is Liv ❤
Donations directly to vet are greatly appreciated.

Our boy Smitty found a loving forever home.
💚 ADOPTED 💚
His sleepover turned forever !
Smitty came to us fearful of everything after leaving an abusive home .
We were able to get him to safety , and into a loving foster home .
His fear of assuming he was gonna be hit , he would run to cower and hide broke our hearts !
With love and patience ( Thanks to his loving foster family ) Smitty began to trust .
It took several months for him to recover emotionally.
We had to make sure his new family would understand that some things may be uncomfortable for him .
A home with lots of understanding and love was exactly what he needed and he found just that .
It's been a few months since he was adopted , and as of today he's living the best life ever .
What we wish for Every Animal .
Here's a glimpse of his new life , and forever family.
PS : him sitting at the dinner table ❤
Family !
🌟Thank you to the two youngsters who were his voice ( to free him away from danger ) Thank you to his loving FOSTER FAM for their patience , love and care provided to prepare him for his loving forever home and Thank you to his forever family for opening their heart and loving arms to our sweet boy🌟 .
Love wins !
TAO supporters Thank you for your continued support , we appreciate you !

Update : The little chi rescued from the streets of Echo Lake in Fort Worth , Texas .
We are calling him Bon ' Bon .
His first video was difficult to share as much as it is to see him shake in fear .
He is still learning to trust , and we will give him all the time he needs .
He continues to thrive and on the road to recovery mentally and physically .
His first video shows just how scared he was after he was rescued off the streets . No matter how many times we rescue these scared dogs off the streets , it never gets any easier.
We try to get them before it is " too late "
Medical Status :
His heartworm test " NEGATIVE " !! and now UTD on all required vaccines.
He was rescued just in time as he is underweight , and was dehydrated 😪
Once he is medically cleared for neuter , that will be his next step into the vet.
We are so Thankful TAO supporters who contributed to his vet care and all who stand beside us .

⛔Foster & funds needed⛔( Echo Lake , Ftw , Tx )
I've been tracking this dog I spotted a few times.
To avoid injury to the dog since he was near busy street .
I kept following which led me to a property.
A local resident
alerted me the dog was threatened with a gun ( when I went around asking questions )
In which expedited a mission to RESCUE !
Details : Per property owner.
FWPD was called out to the location after he pulled out a gun , upon arrival FWPD walked into the home of the person reported with gun .
Gun could not be located , FWPD left the property.
⚠Dog remained in danger , I approached property owner(s) regarding this dog ( the property where dog hung out ) .
Note :
Property owner (s) are not the person (s) who threatened dog .
After a lengthy discussion with property owner , I was given permission to enter the property.
Difficult task at hand , however without help this dog would be a DEAD dog and WE won't allow it .
Sadly .
A total of three dogs have been found deceased on this property , believed to have been poisoned ( paint thinner) .
Just when we thought we couldn't rescue anymore , came another to remind us why we are needed .
Donations would be greatly appreciated

#HurricaneHarveySurvivor 🐾
Ranger found his forever home! 🐾Adopted🐾
His sleepover turned into a forever stay! And guess who his new sister is? TAO Alumni Carley! (Rescued from Houston, TX during Hurricane Harvey) eight years ago !
🏵Carley' s Rescue Story : Local Houston residents posted her photo everywhere, but no one could get close to her. We went to Houston to assist with the hurricane aftermath and found her still sitting in the same spot. The rest is history. She's living a great life, and her parents have kept in touch. Now, they've adopted another TAO baby, our boy Ranger! They're both thriving! Thank you to their forever family for opening their heart and home twice!
Congratulations Ranger and family 🥰
💚 Happily ever after 💚

* rescued without funds or foster *
Thank you advance for your support 🐾
TAO supporters we need your help .
I don't think I need to say why as everyone knows every rescue is struggling 😪
Because we have animals waiting for their forever home ( those need yearly re- vetting ) .
Our longest resident is Miracle ( 4 ) years , Rosita ( 3 ) years , Church (2 ) years ( in this video ) Patrick the boston terrier ( Cushing Disease ) requires monthly meds $145 and yearly testing .
That's just some .
We have to focus for those already in our care , and those need re- vetting each year .
The ones listed above and all the ones before and after we never ask for funds prior to rescue , nor when they need their yearly vaccines or meds .
When we provide those routine searches at Echo Lake and rescue. ( we don't ask for funds ) although we have once rescued and we are so grateful for all of you who have helped us help The Abandoned Ones.
I can't imagine not being able to rescue anymore , that is my biggest fear is not being able to help those abandoned.
For fourteen years , driving everyday searching for abandoned dogs because that is where they are dumped .
We've saved so many just from one specific spot , and changed their lives for the better .
Sadly I know of two dogs by Echo Lake currently that are in need of help .
But I can't ignore that our boy CHURCH needs to see the vet .
Our animals in our care are priority until they are adopted . it is very difficult for me to ask for help ( I'm in tears ) .
Church is limping off and on and also due for his yearly vaccines including hw test and will possibly need xrays . " He is currently at the vet now "
Rosita is also due for her yearly .
