Twisted Branch Aussie Ranch-TBAR

Twisted Branch Aussie Ranch-TBAR Twisted Branch Aussie Ranch (TBAR) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit dog rescue group incorporated in Malakoff, Texas.

The dogs in our rescue live in the home with us as members of our family, and they sleep and eat indoors and run in the yard during the day. We feel that this is the best way for us to prepare these dogs for adoption and life with their new families, to teach them house manners and basic obedience training, and to get to fully know them so that we can make a proper placement.

I have never seen a dog that loves other dogs as much as Clarabelle does. Now that she's made friends, I can hardly keep her indoors. She goes out in the morning with Cisco, Misty Blue, and PepperAnn. Then they all come in, and Clarabelle goes back outside with the next group, Chachi and Conner. Then they all come back in, and Group 3 consisting of Glory, Gravy, and Bizzy goes out, and Clarabelle runs straight out the door for some more fun. Once everyone comes inside, she goes to her spot and takes a good, long nap, resting up for the next outing with her buddies. 🥰

Clarabelle is super smart, and is learning Off and Sit. It's the first thing I teach all puppies, besides potty training, which she has already mastered! Oh and she's a talker. 😍

I saw Ma & Pa today, the stray dogs that have been living in my neighborhood for years, and the parents of our new puppy, Clarabelle. This time, Ma & Pa remembered me and came running when I got out of the SUV. I scrounged through my dog bag that I keep in the SUV and all I found was a rawhide chew, so I tossed that out and went home and got dog food and brought it back. I loved all over both dogs, we chatted for a bit, and I told them I had their baby and she is being well taken care of. They seemed grateful. They are such sweet dogs, and it’s no wonder Clarabelle has the outstanding personality she has.

It breaks my heart that I can’t take them home right now, since Clarabelle made 11 dogs I’m caring for and even bringing her home was a stretch. I’ll keep feeding and keeping an eye on Ma & Pa, but I’d really love someone to step up and offer to adopt, or even foster for TBAR and give me the time to find them homes. Pa is a Hound mix, probably some bluetick coonhound in there. Mom is also a mix, predominantly Heeler. They are both becoming seniors, with Pa showing his age the most. They are gentle, calm dogs that have been able to survive the streets for years, getting along with dogs, cats (these are NOT the dogs that were killing cats), people, and probably wildlife. They really need a place to live out the rest of their lives, and show them what a home feels like. If you can’t help, please share. We really need to get these dogs off the streets, as winter will be here before you know it.

Our little Cow-Hound, Clarabelle, is so good. She slept in the house last night, uncrated, and did not have one accident of any kind! I took her out this morning, and she went p*e & poo twice, and then played. During the day, she does not have an accident, and will wait until I take her outside, and then goes right away. She knows to wait, which is just fantastic as far as I’m concerned. I dewormed her Thursday, so I’ve been watching her stool and it looks normal. She received her first round of vaccinations yesterday, and didn’t even flinch. Today I want to attempt to trim those puppy nails, so I may need to find a protective suit to wear for that task. Overall, this is an exceptional little girl. She goes outside with me, outside of the fenced yard, off-leash and follows me everywhere, coming straight back when I call her. I watched her belly-crawl across the grass the other day, trying to sneak up on some deer that were across the road, and it was hilarious. She shimmied marine-style on her belly for a good 20 feet! Clarabelle loves everyone and everything she sees, whether it be a person, dog, or even cat. Knowing who her parents are, I believe she’ll be more the size of a Hound rather than an ACD. You can see the hound in her when she lopes across the yard. We will start training soon, which I expect to go exceptionally fast. I’m going to make the best little girl out of her, to make up for the time lost while she lived on the streets, and then find her the perfect home. Could that be with you? She’s ready to go, with nothing but endless love and adorableness to offer you for the rest of her life.

Great first night for Clarabelle. She slept in the kitchen, until I can introduce her to the rest of the dogs and make her a spot with them. And only 2 potty accidents, and no poo! She was ready to go out this morning, and ran straight outside with me, PepperAnn, Cisco, Misty, and Gravy. She did her business almost as soon as she went outside, and then started going dog to dog to see who wanted to play this morning. I left her in the yard for a while to enjoy this gorgeous weather this morning. Overall, she's just a great puppy.

Introducing, Clarabelle! Clarabelle is a 4-month-old Heeler mix who had a rough start in life, being born on the streets and living her whole life as a stray, endearing herself on people in the neighborhood for food and survival. Clarabelle is very friendly, loving, and a bit demure. Just a total sweetheart. She’s already won the heart of Major, who is thrilled to have another play buddy. She’s also met PepperAnn, Misty Blue, and Cisco, and they all gave their approval, although PepperAnn’s was somewhat under duress. Now we start the slow, one-by-one introductions with the rest of the dogs, and then Clarabelle becomes an official member of TBAR. I dewormed her this morning and started her on Advantage Multi for fleas and heartworm prevention, and she’ll be vaccinated this week. She is available for adoption on a spay/neuter contract that requires her to be spayed when she’s 6 months old. Clarabelle will also be microchipped prior to adoption, to ensure she remains safe for the remainder of her life. This little girl is very smart, too, and has already learned Sit for a piece of cheese! I mean, I would sit for a piece of cheese, too, wouldn’t you? This baby girl has unlimited potential and an outstanding personality, and will bring joy to some lucky family for many years to come. If you are interested in giving Clarabelle the loving home that she deserves, please email me at [email protected] and request an adoption application.
