Our little Molly is still here at the shelter. She's the only girl too. Her sister Adrain was adopted to a great loving home several months ago. Molly has been at the Ladonia Shelter almost 4 yrs now. She is a sweet girl,, she gets along really well with every dog. She has seen hundreds of dogs go through our Shelter. All adopted except for her.....
Molly & her 7 siblings were rescued in Pecan Gap Tx . They were only 6 wks old . She is 35 lbs, small in size (not toy size) spayed , housebroken , crate trained. She is a great little watch dog & would make a great companion. She could be a lap dog loves the couch. She is more a comfortable around women. Very loyal!
Molly has grown up here it makes us so sad . Please share our beautiful black beauty in hopes someone out there is looking for someone like her.
Please message us for information or to set up a meet & greet with Molly!

Awe someone adopt this special boy . Just look at that sweet face. They are located her in Texas.

The look Odin gives me as I tell him he didn't find a family today either! 😭

Odin is a blind, just over 1yo, 73lb, mix breed!

He is dog, car and kid friendly.

Odin was rescued at 4 weeks old, and assumed blind at birth. The decision to remove his eyes was to prevent future complications or pain.

He's a super happy and loving boy! He gets around great and has no idea that he's any different from anyone else.

Please consider meeting and adopting this super sweet boy! He's searched long enough for his happy life and loving family!

🐾Update Olivia has been adopted! Post on our timeline 🐾
She slept for days. "Olivia" was so weak she could hardly stand up she also had the most terrible uti . She walked like she was drunk. Today this is her. She has found her voice & boy is she a diva!!
She is full of life & when she is hungry she will let you know. As you can see she is potty trained yes those are her marble size turdies. Whom ever had her must of kept her in a kennel. She is very suspicious of grass. She won't go p**p on it & stands on it with one paw up. She doesn't know what to do. We are working on that . We know her little jaw was broken at one time but that doesnt bother her one bit or to eat. She likes Cheetos the puffy kind. We just think she is to old to have any kind of surgery to correct it. If she didn't eat or drink then we would of had surgery. She is available for adoption. She is such a good little thing weighs about 6lbs? has gain a pound or 2. She is a yorkie,,, we had a couple of ladies wanting to adopt her but their families said no . She would make a great companion for someone needing a lap friend. Please message us to set up a meet & greet or for any questions & information. Please share so we can get this sweet little diva a good home . Thanks in advanced.

Dogs die. But dogs live, too. Right up until they die, they live.
They live brave, beautiful lives. They protect their families. And love us. And make our lives a little brighter. And they don't waste time being afraid of tomorrow. 🥺🥺

"Olivia" is a total sweet "little thang" . Her silly little tongue does go in. It stays out when she sleeps in our bed & under the covers . She loves human beds . Once she's in one she's in . She's tiny about 6lbs is housetrained. Loves to eat! She just started to follow me & if I shut the door behind me she will scratch on it . Especially when she wants me to feed her . Such a little Diva! don't let her age fool you she is full of life !!

We have a couple of Happy Tails updates to share! even an update from a 6 yrs ago adoption!! Stay tuned!

10/18/2023

About 2 wks ago this little old lady ( yorkie) I named "Olivia" was going around in circles on a the busy highway 34 here in Ladonia . While vehicles & big Semi's whoosh by her,, someone was kind enough to stop & help her. They knew about us & asked if we could help her,,, She was very dehydrated and skinny . She was very matted, she had the worst uti we have ever seen. she smelled bad & she is toothless. After nursing her back to health she has bounced back . Her uti is almost completely gone & she loves to eat Olivia has gain the much needed weight. She is housetrain & she is getting used to being loved on . We think she didn't get much love because she was very uncomfortable at first. Her little tongue hangs out & she is just a sweet little Ole thing . She is available for adoption .

We apologize for not updating the puppies that were dumped at fossil creek. Someone did pick them up & took them to the Bonham shelter. They did the right thing by doing that they were safe for a bit. But the Bonham Pound is a kill shelter. I was told they only had 2 days then they would be euthanized so a rescue stepped up & saved them. We will get more information of the shelter that took them & try to help them by posting their rescue & hopefully get those puppies adopted. Thank you John from Hunt County reports for your help. Also want to Thank everyone willing to help those pups. It takes a Village!

This little puppy has been running loose for a couple of days now . This morning I rescued him from being hit on the 2 busiest highways 34 & 50. He has 2 collars on . We did NOT SN**CH him but RESCUED HIM from ending up dead like so many others. If this is your pup please come get him & keep him off the highways. Please secure his fence if he is getting out .DON'T JUST LET YOUR PUPPY RUN LOOSE THEY ARE LIKE HUMAN TODDLERS, THEY DON'T KNOW THE DANGERS THAT AWAITS THEM. THEY WILL EITHER GET HIT BY VEHICLES OR KILLED BY COYOTES OR FERRAL DOGS. if he isn't claimed in 10 DAYS. I will have no choice but to put him up for adoption. Please message us if you are coming to pick him up DON'T just show up at my door & with an ATTITUDE. I DON'T DO WELL WITH ATTITUDES. We are VERY busy people with jobs so we are not always home.

"I must pick up
All the lost souls
who wander this earth
all who are alone
all that are broken
all that never really fit in
I will gather them all
And together we will find our home

-Athey Thompson

A little poem taken from poetry book written in Camberlay, UK.
This photo is of “Camberley Kate”, the lady who roamed the streets with her “stray dogs” cart and picked up all the abandoned. It is said that during her lifetime she rescued and gave a loving home to more than 600 stray dogs.

Today I honor this inspiring lady and her legacy, she dedicated her life to saving dogs, and being kind to all animals.
