For those of you thinking of buying your precious new puppy from a breeder, take a long, hard look at this picture and see how broken this new Mumma is. This breeder cannot wait to show off this precious new baby yet cowering in the corner, heartbroken, neglected, underfed, visibly skinny and utterly broken sits this incredible Mumma, already forgotten regardless that she carried her precious babies for this greeder to sell.
Get your dogs spayed & neuteted.

Has this dog return home to its owners. It was at God's Storehouse this morning.
Please Share in hopes of it returning home. Please use a lease when you are taking your dog to town, it is very dangerous out in the streets.

Owner Found😀

CURIOSITY POST SHARED!

This is a plea for help for I don’t know what else to do or who to turn to.

Sunday morning when I went out to feed the horses, I was met by two very large, intact male dogs without collars or any identification. I immediately scooped up my outdoor kitty and brought him inside not knowing if they’d kill him. I was able to lure them inside the goat enclosure but they were able to escape within an hour. My first call was to Keiko keeping my fingers crossed but as I feared, she’s beyond busting at the seems. I then contacted FOGAS, GPAC, Kingdom Rescue and Passion for Paws, the other Gonzales County rescue groups, to request that they post them as a courtesy post on Facebook as well as doing my own FB blitz. I have also posted them on Nextdoor, FidoFinder, Petco Love, 24Petconnect, and PawBoost. I have researched German Shepherd rescues but have not had any luck as of yet.

They are both friendly and seem to think they are now home however they need to find a new home, that's not mine, and as soon as possible. My outdoor cat is miserable being inside and my own golden retriever who is an outdoor dog, is not happy since she’s being pushed out because they have taken over. They mark everywhere, dig in my flower beds and when I go outside, they get so excited that they both jump up on me and me being vertically challenged, their paws reach my shoulders so it’s hard for me to control them both.

They are both friendly, particularly the shepherd, and he has such a beautiful and unusual coloring/coat pattern. And like a true shepherd, he follows me step for step and doesn’t let me out of his site. I'm prepared to take care of their neutering, vaccines, heartworm testing, flea meds, etc., especially for the shepherd, if I could just find a rescue that’s willing to take them over. Even if it’s just the shepherd, I really see a lot of promise in him and he’s so striking.

Therefore, if any of you know of any other rescues that you have worked with or have knowledge of that might be able/willing to assist, I would GREATLY appreciate it. Also, any other ideas/suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you and sorry for the very lengthy text.

Update on the 4 puppies.
They are warming up a bit.
Just takes alittle patience and TLC
Summer Brown took them outside a bit to play and looks like they are starting to get alittle comfortable with her.
If these dogs would have stayed behind they would have grown up to be untouchable, feral dogs on the streets of Nixon that most people would consider aggressive. These 4 little ones will have a new beginning and a second chance to find a loving family that will show them lots of love. So we need your help. Donations are greatly appreciated as we start their vaccination process and potty.Donations can be made to our Paypal just click the link below.

Another dog ran over on Hwy 87 close to Family Dollar.
It was moved to the side corner out of respect for the dog. This is a very busy highway. Please keep your dogs at home safe. We have provided programs with FREE spaying and neutering and yet Roosevelt and E 2nd street have too many dogs roaming.
Our shelter have taken in so many puppies in this area yet you owners are not taking responsibility in getting these females spayed. The female Shepard is in heat right now so if your missing your dog it might be with her, she knows how to cross the highway but your dog probably doesn't and it will follow her every where.These innocent animals should not be harmed like this, they didn't ask to be here Humans put them here.The city is not responsible for them, they just keep them off the street until you claim them.
May you RIP little innocent dog.

As the shelter makes it's final completion my heart has been weighing in on me for years to finally get to do this.
It was my determination to get this done.
In loving memory of Our Dog Attorney Angela D. Dickerson.
Born Nov 28/65- Oct 18/21
We praise you each and everyday my friend from the bottom of our hearts for representing our dog case at no cost. If it was not for you & God we would not have been able to rebuild.
You are a true blessing to us and we will cherish you for the rest of our lives at Passion for Paws Memorial Animal Shelter
One thing I will always remember Angela telling me was " I'm doing this for the dogs cause they have no voice". She was a very true dog advocate.
May you RIP my friend with no more pain, sorry it took us 3 years to get this completed.
Hugs and love sent up to heaven for you 😘
Never Forgotten.
