We want to formally introduce you to Paxton! Paxton is a 12 lb and 2 year old Yorkshire terrier who was surrendered for a mild scratch that broke skin. He has had nothing but perfect behavior at the shelter and since we have had him. He basically been exposed to dogs (lots of them) and is timid but adjusts well. He also likes lap time and treats. This guy is going to foster but we are hoping to find folks that may want to foster him through his decompression period and possibly adopt.

If you would like to chat about Paxton, shoot us a message or submit an application: https://form.jotform.com/201147330778151

**Meet Bob Barker!**

Bob Barker is a young Yorkshire terrier with some special needs, but he’s special in so many ways. Due to a unique condition where his skull isn't properly attached to the first vertebra in his neck, he experiences some vestibular issues. Unfortunately, he isn't a candidate for surgical repair or even neutering, as any medical procedure could put him at risk. Despite these challenges, Bob Barker is full of life and love!

This quiet, sweet and tiny boy would be happiest in a calm home, snuggled up on someone's lap, where he can feel safe and adored. He's incredibly friendly, has a lot of love to give, and will use potty pads if kept in a small area. When he gets excited, you'll often find him spinning in circles—a little quirk that only adds to his charm.

We’re searching for a forever home where Bob Barker can land and be cherished for the loving, special pup he is. Though currently in the Dallas Fort Worth area, he is adoptable anywhere outside of our usual regions. If you have room in your heart and home for a dog as unique as Bob Barker, you won’t regret it—he's one of the sweetest pups who has ever come through our doors.

Apply for Bob today! ⬇️

Puddin is a gentle soul who resides in the Dallas/ Fort Worth area and is looking for a forever home where she can be showered with love and affection. Despite her constant "wobble," Puddin is a happy girl with no ongoing medication needs or restrictions.

She is potty trained, but may need a little assistance getting outside. If she's unable to make it outside, she will use a p*e pad. Puddin would thrive in a home where her family is around most of the day, allowing her to curl up on a lap under a cozy blanket. She loves to sleep with her humans at night, adding a layer of comfort and warmth.

Puddin isn't a fan of walks or spending long periods outside, but she makes up for it with her snuggly nature. She gets along well with other dogs and cats, although she can get a bit jealous if they take over her favorite spot—her human’s lap or blanket. Puddin would make a great purse pup, as she is only 3 pounds!! She is crate trained and very quiet; she doesn’t ask for much—just a home filled with love, attention, and affection.

If you're in the Dallas/ Ft Worth area looking for a loyal, loving companion who will be your shadow and warm your heart, Puddin is the one for you. Could you be the special family she's waiting for?

**Meet Mani: Your Playful and Resilient Companion!**

Hello! My name is Mani, and I'm a 14-week-old micro Bully with a special story. I was surrendered by a breeder to Fuzzy Texan as a tiny baby because I was born with a cleft palate. But guess what? That hasn't slowed me down one bit! I'm now eating and drinking just like any other pup and have no issues related to my cleft palate.

I'm a feisty little girl who loves to play, especially with my big brother. Toys are my favorite, and at the end of the day, I love curling up on my blanket for a good night's sleep. I already respond to my name and use potty pads like a champ. I still have a lot to learn, but I'm a quick learner and eager to pick up new tricks.

I'm great with other dogs and even cats, so I'd fit right into a home with other furry friends. I'm looking for a loving family that will appreciate my unique spirit and give me all the playtime and snuggles I deserve. Could that be you?

If you think we might be a perfect match, please fill out the app below! She is currently located in the Dallas/ Ft Worth area but adoptable in Houston and Central Texas areas as well

We are so excited to announce Tim is taking that Sunday snooze in his new home!

24/08/2024

If you have been following the stories on all of our Mega Esophagus lab puppies, this one will warm your heart!

This is buddy, he is doing fabulous and has not thrown up in over a week! The medication is working for him and he is able to keep food down. No elevated eating or bailey chairs!
He is even packing on the weight and sits nicely when asked to do so.

We are looking for a foster or even an adopter for this super sweet/amazing boy! He gets along beautifully with other dogs and all people. Please reach out to the pages if you have any interest at all.

So far, we are counting him as an amazing success! He had an updated barium swallow with x-rays on Friday, and his future future looks bright!

Thanks again for all of your support ❤️

It’s new dawn, it's a new day!
It's a new life for me and I'm feeling good!

Selena is headed to her new home in Houston!

The time has come! Dawson is finally available for adoption!

Dawson's journey hasn't been easy, but he's ready to find his forever home! This sweet boy was surrendered to a shelter in terrible shape, weighing only about 5 pounds and struggling with anemia. Thanks to the love and care of two dedicated foster families, Dawson is now a healthy 8.5 pounds and thriving!

Dawson is a very friendly lapdog who shows his love with endless kisses. While he doesn’t warm up to men easily, he is the perfect companion for a woman looking for a loyal friend. He has great bathroom habits, needing breaks every 4-6 hours and easily making it through the night. Dawson is a bit food insecure, so he likes to stash away his “back-up plan” under his bed.

This little guy is incredibly smart and trainable, just waiting for the right best friend to guide him. Dawson also has a fun side—if he finds a tissue on the floor, he thinks it’s an invitation to a party, complete with confetti!

If you’re looking for a loving, playful, and loyal companion, Dawson could be the perfect match for you. Are you ready to give this adorable pup the forever home he deserves?

Dawson is currently in the Dallas Fort Worth area, completely vetted and adoptable anywhere outside of our normal areas.

While fostering can warm your heart and give you a sense of purpose, it can also be a valuable teaching tool and life lesson for your children. The benefits of families fostering animals can enrich your child’s life beyond their p*ers and give them the empathy, communication and leadership skills they need to succeed in life. It’s a great way to grow closer as a family through service to your community!

Don’t forget to apply to foster today!!

We just wanted to reshare Selena’s post to let everyone know that its happening! Thanks to some wonderful volunteers she is going home on Saturday! We can’t wait to share pics!!! Stay tuned!!!

UPDARE : COVERED. She is home!

UPDATE: WE THINK WE HAVE IT! FINGERS CROSSED! THANK YOU ALL FOR SUPPORTING GETTING SELENA HOME! WE WILL UPDATE SOON!

Friends and followers, we are asking for help again but we need to tell a bit of a tale first. We want you to meet Selena. This beautiful orange tabby female was taken to the Mega Adoption Event the DFW Metroplex this past weekend, where hundreds of local rescues and shelters brought their pets to be adopted. She had countlesss people reach in and tend to her all the while she was docile, gentle and open to everyone. Unfortunately because Selena is both FELV+ and FIV+, it wasn't in her cards this weekend to be chosen. By the end of the event, a wonderful volunteer for HSNT made a post with this sad picture about her being overlooked. Fast forward to Sunday evening, one of our fabulous Vet tech fosters in Houston saw Selena's shared plea and her story tugged on her heart strings and asked for our help to be able to bring Selena to Houston to adopt her and give her a home. With some help from our DFW team, we were able to get in contact with the rescue and we are in process of having Selena transferred to us.

This is where we need help! We need to get Selena from Fort Worth to Houston as soon as we can so she can begin her forever life. If you are able to help a good cause and wonderful kitty get home, even if its just a partial leg, please message the page or comment below. We know that if we band together, we can get Selena home! We can provide a crate and gas money if needed toward getting her where she has to go!

Our sweet little Indy who was rescued after her family wanted her euthanized because they didn’t have time for her and because she is overweight is doing well in her foster home. She is finally coming around from having her world turned upside down and is starting to explore her foster home. She will need some further time to decompress and some weight management but this girl will be ready to go home in no time!

**Update on the Labs**

As many of you know, we recently took in six Labrador puppies, approximately eight weeks old, surrendered by a breeder. Unfortunately, the information we received about their health was not entirely accurate, leading to a series of unexpected challenges. We spent several thousand dollars on testing—PCR tests, scopes, x-rays, barium swallow tests—trying to figure out what was going on. The results? Positive for mycoplasma, coccidia, and roundworms. Thankfully, they were negative for Parvo, but despite anti-nausea medications, the pups continued to struggle. The most significant finding was that all six puppies tested positive for megaesophagus, a condition that is extremely difficult to manage and places a heavy burden on our foster volunteers.

We don’t mind stepping in to help a breeder, especially when the alternative might be euthanasia or a trip to the shelter. In fact, we’ve built strong relationships with some breeders who genuinely want to learn from the education we provide. However, this situation felt like a gut punch—not just to our bank account, but to the volunteers who poured their hearts into caring for these pups.

**A Public Service Announcement to Breeders:**

1. **Genetic Testing**: If you’re running a breeding program, please ensure both the male and female are genetically tested. This can prevent the passing on of severe conditions like megaesophagus.

2. **Deworming**: Every animal in your care should be dewormed, starting puppies on a strict schedule at two weeks of age.

3. **Vaccinations**: Educate yourself on vaccines—what to give, when to start, and how to prevent diseases like Parvo or kennel cough. No puppy without three rounds of vaccines should ever touch the ground.

4. **Kennel Hygiene**: Properly treat conditions like coccidia and Giardia, and maintain a clean kennel to prevent the spread of these parasites.

If these precautions are taken, many health issues could be avoided, along with the resulting costly medical bills and heartache.

Finally, if you’re going to surrender an animal to a rescue, be 100% honest about its health upfront. Withholding information leads to unnecessary medical expenses that could have been used to help other animals in need. Being smart and honest is all we ask.

We wholeheartedly thank every single one of you that volunteered to help these babies. Sadly, we have lost three of them and our hearts go out to those families who became so involved and loved them while in their care. To those of you that donated, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts we know that in this economy, it’s not easy to part with funds.

We have three that continue to struggle, one stronger than the rest. Please continue to keep them in your prayers, and if you feel moved to contribute towards their medical care, we would be forever grateful.
