Our sweethearts, Jade, Jasmine, Jet and Jasper have upgraded to the puppy run! Now that they've had two sets of puppy vaccines we're letting them out of the puppy playpen in the spare room and into the puppy run to burn off all that playfull puppy energy. They had a blast checking out their new playground! When I went to bring them inside to bed, they were sacked out together on the raised bed. These 4 are just the cutest, sweetest babies! If you're interested in pre-adopting one of them, message us for more information. We'd love to set up a meet n greet! 😍

Thank you Claudia Hickman and Robert Ornelas , Gwen and Mike Omo, and Elizabeth Stewart for the wishlist donations! We can't wait to try the enrichment items and very much appreciate everything that makes life easier for us and the pups! Baby Joey is especially loving his extra large potty pad that stays in place on the couch! And we love not having a wet couch! 😜

We're so grateful for all the items donated and all the funds we get from our supporters to help us help pets in need. Every little bit helps and every one of you is a hero! Rescue truly takes a village. 🐾❀️🐾

Luke was pre-adopted! πŸ₯³

This boy is just THE SWEETEST thing ever! We took him out to Bold Republic Brewing Company yesterday and our waitress fell in love with him! I honestly don't know who wouldn't because he's ridiculously adorable and mellow for a puppy. She was so enthralled she called her kids to come down to meet him and before we knew it, they had all fallen in love. 😍

Today, we dropped off Luke at his new home where he got to meet friends and neighbors who all took turns loving him up. Luke is part of our foster-to-adopt program so stay tuned for updates as we get him scehduled for his neuter. πŸ˜ƒ

Adopt Virgil! 😍

Virgil is a handsome, ridiculously sweet, and playful pup hoping for a forever family. He's a sensitive boy with a shy personality until he knows you but then he's so sweet and loving. He'll do wonderful with a patient and kind adopter.

Virgil does great in the car, is curious but just needs a little encouragement to explore, stay close to me on a leash, is very treat motivated (especially with rotisserie chicken!), he does well with all our other dogs including the tiny Chihuahua, is fine with the cats, is crate trained and doing well learning to ring a bell to go outside potties. He's also a quiet boy so could do well with apartment living!

Virgil is about 7 months old, is neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, on prevention and microchipped. He's all set for a forever family! If you'd like more information on this super sweet and handsome boy, message us at Happy Tails Ranch Rescue . We'd love to set up a meet n greet! 😍

Luther was pre-adopted! πŸ₯³

Luther is a super sweet, loving boy who came from a construction site in the RGV. He was living under pallates surrounded by heavy machinery which was not safe for a small puppy. We took him in thanks to the help of a foster in the RGV and then moved him to a local foster before he came to the ranch.

Luther was only with us a few days when a wonderful family came to see our pups and fell in love with Luther and our sweet girl Sadie! We're so excited to see these two loving pups find their happily ever afters! Stay tuned for Luther updates as we work with his new family to get him to his neuter appointment in September! 😍

Our sweet and silly girl, Jazzy, was adopted! We're so excited to see her finally find a home! Jazzy was shy and unsure of her new situation so we'll keep up with her family to make sure she settles in well. As soon as she realizes she's in her forever home, I know she'll do great! Wishing you many happy tails on happy trails sweetheart! 🐾❀️🐾

Sadie AND Luther were adopted! 😍😍

Sadie and Luther found their happily ever afters with THE most loving family! We're thrilled to know our little girl, who has an unlimited supply of kisses to give, now has a big family to shower with love! Luther is such a sweet, mellow boy who happily soaked in all the attention. We couldn't be happier to know these two will be so loved. Stay tuned for Luther updates as we check back in for his neuter in August! 🐾❀️🐾❀️🐾

Adopt Morgan!

Morgan is one of the sweet, shy puppies we saved from a feral colony in Falls County. He's still building confidence but he's super sweet and goofy! Morgan has the silliest smile when he sees me and loves to come up from behind and goose me. πŸ˜† He's a happy, fun boy who loves to be inside enjoying the air conditioning while chewing on a toy. 🧸🦴

Morgan is about 8 months old and 30 lbs, is neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, on prevention and microchipped. He does great in the house on a schedule to go outside potties, is crate trained, loves toys, does well with our other dogs including the Chihuahuas, and is even good with our cats! He'll need a patient and loving home but I know he's going to blossom into the most loyal and loving pup once he trusts his new family. If you'd like to meet Morgan, message us at Happy Tails Ranch Rescue . We'd love to set up a meet n greet! πŸ˜ƒ

Mable update! πŸ₯°

Mable has blossomed into a beautiful, happy and healthy girl! When I went to pick her up today for her 3rd prosthetic appointment, I was amazed by her transformation. She's filled out, her coat looks amazing and she was so joyful. 😍 We give all the credit to her amazing foster family! Lacy Harrison ❀️

Unfortunately, the 3rd prosthetic fitting wasn't as successful as we hoped but we sent the prosthetic home with Mable's foster to see if they can work on getting her used to having an attachment on her stump for short periods of time. She has a bo**ie that has to be laced up to secure it on her stump but she needs to be relaxed to get the bo**ie fitted properly and unfortunately she was too nervous at the appointment today to relax. It just may be that she isn't a good candidate for a peg leg but we're giving her every opportunity we can to make sure she will have a long and comfortable life. She sure was happy to head home and get her reward for being such a sweet girl! Pupcups for the win! πŸ˜‹

The littles are loving their summer time fun! They got a good romp in the yard, some pool time, then a sulphur lime dip to treat their ringworm and clean them up. These 4 cuties are doing great! They're eating like champs and growing like weeds! They'll be available for pre-adoption as soon as the ringworm is resolved. If you have any questions or would like information on our pre-adoption program, message us at Happy Tails Ranch Rescue!

Hero may be socially awkward but he'll be AOK! Ellie sure has taken a liking to Hero but he has no clue what to do with her. Can you tell?! 🀣

Hero would LOVE to have a forever family who enjoys getting a good laugh every day. He's a goofball but such an endearing one!

Happy $2 Tuesday! 🐢🐢

Baby Joey and Mitch went to the vet today! Joey needed puppy vaccines and Mitch got his Proheart 12 heartworm protection injection, Bravecto and a medication to treat fungus in his ear. The total bill for today was $276.80! 😬 They were both SO well behaved today so a pupcup was most deserved!

Jack is wondering when it will be his turn for a forever family?! He's such a good boy! Jack loves to play with our other dogs but he's happy to toss a toy around by himself too. He loves people and gives great hugs! He's also good with the cats and knows "leave it".

Jack would love a family who will throw him a ball, buy him stuffies, take him on adventures and give him snuggles at the end of the day. He's about 8 months old, neutered, vaccinated, on prevention and microchipped. He's crate trained and house trained but can also do apartment living since he walks well on a leash. Jack loves other dogs so would do great with another happy and playful pup. If you'd like to meet this handsome, sweet boy, message us at Happy Tails Ranch Rescue . We'd love to set up a meet n greet! 😍

Gracie was pre-adopted! πŸ₯³

We're so excited to announce Gracie has found a family of her own! Gracie was a sad tiny puppy that had been hit or thrown from a car in the Rio Grande Valley. She was taken to a vet down there by a wonderful animal advocate, then driven up to Pearl's Place who offered to take her in. Thankfully, Gracie just needed a few weeks to rest and heal, then she was all puppy! We took Gracie in to help one of our favorite rescues and the rest is history!

We can't wait to see Gracie grow with her family! We'll be getting her into the clinic for her spay in September so stay tuned for Gracie updates! 😍 A special thank you to Laura Devlin for sending Gracie an awesome bed! Her adopters say she LOVES it! ❀️ And a HUGE thank you to Copilot Academy, LLC for connecting Gracie's family with us so we could find them an amazing pup! We look forward to hearing great things about this super sweet and smart girl! 😍

A good read from all of us in rescue thinking the same thing...

I hope everyone is having a Blessed Sunday, among a world that continues to separate us all.

Rescues are all struggling.

Yesterday alone, we received upwards of 8 email, texts and phone calls. Each of these people had a need, each were concerned, some concerned about themselves, others concerned for a dog. Being concerned isn’t enough anymore. Taking action is what it is going to take. The majority of these dogs had no vaccinations, not spayed or neutered. That should be the first thing that is done when you take a dog in, but you know what there is always an excuse.

Do you know how hard it is to say No, to some of these dogs?

Pearl’s Place has to beg everyday to keep our doors open. The dogs we take aren’t the easy to adopt dogs. They aren’t the cute fuzzy or little dogs. Most come to us with us knowing there will be thousands in medical bills.

We help the dogs that may have scars, a limp or no hair. Maybe a senior or hospice dog and we care and love them like they are a Westminster show dog.

What Pearl’s Place needs today, is for everyone to be responsible for the dogs you pick up. If you have a dog, spay/neuter that dog, quit with the excuses. An oops litter is a cop out. If you can afford nice clothes, new cars, iPhones and to get your hair and nails done, you can pay to spay/neuter a cat or dog.

We also need your help getting our healthy dogs into new forever homes. If you live in another state ask a rescue if they would be interested in pulling one of our dogs to get them into a different state. Or advocate for your favorite dog that you have watched at Pearl’s Place.

Help us help them.

Meet Luther and Cyrus! 😍😍

These boys have been waiting MONTHS to come to the ranch. They were both found in the Rio Grande Valley and taken in by great fosters. Over a month ago they were transported up to Gatesville, TX to our wonderful foster, Joann Casey , where they've been hanging out until we could squeeze them into the ranch. And boy are we squeezing them in! We're stuffed to the brim with adorable puppies hoping for forever families. 😭

If you'd like to meet any of our sweet adoptable pups, message us at Happy Tails Ranch Rescue. We'd love to set up a meet n greet! 😍

Who needs the sweetest puppy this side of the Mississippi?! Sadie is sweeter than sweet tea! ❀️

We've been lucky to be able to save some of the sweetest puppies in Texas but there are always a few that stand out as being just a little bit sweeter. Well, Sadie is A LOT sweeter than your average puppy. All she wants to do is be loved on and give love in return. Sadie gives the best hugs, loves to give kisses and she's never met a stranger. πŸ₯°

Sadie is about 8 months old, spayed, neutered, vaccinated, on prevention and microchipped. She's all set to find her happily ever after. If you'd like more information on this beautiful soul, message us at Happy Tails Ranch Rescue . We'd love to set up a meet n greet! 🏑

Adopt Wyatt! 😍

Wyatt is such a handsome, sweet boy! I can't believe his forever family hasn't found him yet! Wyatt was so gentle and calm with the 4 babies who wanted to love on him. He's great with all our pups and ignores the cats. Wyatt may be shy initially with people but he warms up quick with patience, love and treats. He does the funniest play bows and zoomies when we play together. Wyatt will be a wonderful companion for any pup loving home!

Wyatt is about 7.5 months old, neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, on prevention and microchipped. He's a small guy so we don't think he'll get much over 40 lbs. He's crate trained and house trained. He's all set for a forever family! Message us at Happy Tails Ranch Rescue for more information or to set up a meet n greet! We'd love to bring him to you so he can meet your family and beloved pets! ❀️

Mitch is our sweet gentle giant hoping for a forever family! Mitch is the only pup at the ranch who plays well with Joey, does great with all the dogs, loves people, and even the cats like him! He has a wonderful temperament, is probably medium energy, is crate trained and house trained. He's a smart boy who loves treats so will be fun to train!

Mitch is about 1 year old, neutered, vaccinated, on prevention and microchipped. He's all set for his happily ever after! For more information on our chunky sweetheart, Mitch, message us at Happy Tails Ranch Rescue. We'd love to set up a meet n greet! 😍

Can you believe the city officials in the City of Marlin and Marlin Police Department are trying to say this isn't as bad as it looks?! FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!! THERE'S A DEAD DOG! THERE ARE STARVING DOGS!!! We aren't blind to your disgusting behavior and then to try and cover it up?! Minimize the horror for these pups?! SHAMEFUL.

Every single person involved with this disgusting excuse for a shelter should be fired and whoever was responsible for the care of these dogs should be charged with animal cruelty and jailed. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY for your actions. WE WILL NOT FORGET!!

Please share far and wide so these people cannot cover up their awful deeds and convince anyone they did no wrong by these pups.

Happy Tongue Out Tuesday! πŸ‘…

Nick is more than happy to show off his tongue for Tongue Out Tuesday! 😜

This happy, fun, and super sweet boy would love to give you tons of kisses. He's such an adorable guy with the cutest expressions. Nick is getting his 2nd set of puppy vaccines this week, then can be pre-adopted under our foster-to-adopt program. You'd get to meet him, fall in love, pay his adoption fee, then get to know him in your home until his neuter. After he's neutered, you'll officially adopt him. 😍

Nick is about 3 months old, is crate trained, and we're working on potty training but he's a smart boy who wants to please! Nick will do great in a home with lots of love, toys and attention but he also does great in his crate for periods of time. He's super treat motivated so will be easy to train. If you'd like more information on Nick, message us at Happy Tails Ranch Rescue . We'd love to set up a meet n greet!

Can anyone help us bust these two girls outta "jail". We need a foster to pull them from a shelter that doesn't adopt out pitbulls. They're only able to leave the shelter alive under a rescue. The alternative is euthanasia. If you can foster, please message us. We also offer a foster-to-adopt program! πŸ™β€οΈπŸ™
