Pedro is a really special guy, and Iโ€™m really regretting that that I didnโ€™t get to meet him until his deadline day, Iโ€™m extremely thankful he got an extension. Pedro is sweet, and gentle, and loving. We didnโ€™t think he would make it to see another day so he got lots of cuddles and a sausage biscuit! He loves all dogs he meets and sticks his little needle nose in through the fence to sneak some kisses. Heโ€™s clearly been cared for previously and could stand to lose a little weight, but heโ€™s truly a gentleman. He has such an easy personality I didnโ€™t want to put him up. Pedro deserves a chance and to no longer be overlooked โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน

Myko was extended from 3/7 to 3/8 ๐Ÿšจ

Myko - HW NEGNeutered - German Shepherd mix - 8 years old// 64lbs

First time on grass: https://youtube.com/shorts/vdo0kxBgCS8?feature=share

First time in snow: https://youtube.com/shorts/aoNCOiyuUAs?feature=share

Sweet boy in a home: https://youtube.com/shorts/j0-NiSvPxTU?feature=share

Notes from his finder: We got a call from a neighbor of a car dealership that Myko had been living in a 4x4 chain link cage at the dealership for the last 8 years and the dealership was closing so they wanted to get rid of the dog. The dealership would only let him out at night to guard the cars. The neighbors had called SPCA & animal control but no one had assisted. During the summer, they would see him panting constantly & during the winter he didnโ€™t have any respite from the conditions.
He had never been on grass or interacted with other animals so he is very curious about everything. One of the videos provided is his first time on grass.
We picked him up on 01/10/2025. We took him to get his updated shots and got him neutered. He is heartworm negative & has no parasites.
He has been introduced to our dogs and is very excitable but not aggressive at all. With our cat, his excitement is too much and so we have to keep him separated. His front right paw is deformed. Itโ€™s possible that it broke when he was a puppy & solidified in a crooked way. But now itโ€™s just apart of his playful personality ๐Ÿ™‚
He is such a good boy and just loves being loved. If there is anything you can do to help Myko find a home or a foster situation, that would be amazing.

๐’๐ก๐ž๐ฅ๐ญ๐ž๐ซ ๐๐จ๐ญ๐ž๐ฌ:2/28/2025: BEHAVIOR NOTE: Wiggly and friendly towards me. Greeted me with a wiggly body and open mouth smile. He walked out on a semi tight leash. He was distracted at times on the leash. I was able to redirect him with baby talk.

3/5/2025: BEHAVIOR NOTE: vocal in kennel walks on a loose leash, vocal in outside runs.

3/6/2025: BEHAVIOR NOTE: Before going outside in the AM was pacing in kennel and vocalizing. Once on leash walked with tight leash ahead of me out to runs. While approaching the runs another dog was in neighboring run and both dogs began growling at each other, Myko lunging when other dog began snarling. Redirected Myko with treats and once he was unleashed in run both dogs ignored each other.

โ™ฅ๏ธโ™ฅ๏ธ $5 Friday help needed for sweet Mia girl! โ™ฅ๏ธโ™ฅ๏ธ Mia was found as a stray at a local Houston grocery store when an amazing foster brought her to BARC so she could get care. Mia ended up on the euthanasia list on February 13, and the amazing Destination Rescue Dogs saved her life with the help of a dedicated foster! She has a fabulous adopter lined up and was ready to transport to her new forever family. During her health certificate appointment, the vet found a badly infected wound hidden in her fur that needed immediate surgery. Mia did well in the procedure and is now healing with her foster family until she can make the journey to her forever family. A surgery like this is a big unexpected cost for any rescue. They desperately need help for saving sweet Miaโ€™s life, not only from the euthanasia list but also with a life saving surgery. Can you give $5 today? Click below to donate or use below options.
