Our GuideStar profile: https://www.guidestar.org/Profile/81-2377110#
Our FB Page: https://www.facebook.com/TheAnimalCause Fundraiser: https://gofund.me/17836998
Our primary task is sharing shelter animals across social media so more people can see them and hopefully save them from euthanasia through fostering, rescuing, adopting, sponsoring or transporting them to start a new life.
Our belief is if all animal advocates come together to identify and prioritize issues/situations, etc. that expedited positive change can occur. We therefore do not compete with any other organization, group, company, etc. as there is plenty of work to go around.
Additionally we believe in and support animal shelter and animal welfare reform; via political engagement, and raising awareness; causing social and political change.
Navigating the Storm: Steps to Take When Your Pet Goes Missing
Storms can be a terrifying experience, not just for humans, but for our beloved pets as well. The loud noises, flashes of light, and general chaos can cause pets to panic and run away. If you find yourself in the unfortunate situation where your pet has gone missing after a storm, here are some steps you can take.
1.Stay Calm and Start Searching Immediately
Your first reaction might be panic, but it’s important to stay calm. Start searching immediately, as your pet may not have gone far. Check under cars, in bushes, and other hiding places near your home.
2.Contact Animal Control and Local Shelters
Inform your local animal control and nearby animal shelters about your missing pet. Provide them with a detailed description and a recent photo. Remember to include any distinguishing features your pet may have.
3.Use Social Media and Online Platforms
Post about your missing pet on social media platforms and online pet recovery networks. Include a clear photo and description of your pet, along with your contact information.
4.Check with Neighbors and Community Members
Speak to your neighbors and community members. They may have seen your pet or might be willing to help you search. The more eyes you have looking out for your pet, the better.
5.Create Flyers and Posters
Design flyers and posters with a clear photo of your pet, a brief description, and your contact information. Distribute these in your neighborhood and in local businesses, with permission.
6.Visit Local Veterinarians
Check with local veterinarians. If your pet was injured during the storm, someone may have taken them to a vet. Most vets will check for a microchip, so make sure your contact information is up to date.
7.Don’t Lose Hope
It’s easy to feel disheartened if your pet doesn’t turn up right away, but don’t lose hope. Continue your search and keep contacting shelters and vets. Pets have been known to return home after being missing for weeks or even months.
Remember, prevention is the best cure. Microchip your pets, keep their collars with identification on, and ensure they have a safe space during storms. With these measures in place, the chances of your pet going missing can be greatly reduced. Stay safe, and good luck with your search!

Animals and the Law
Animal Law Update
The Texas Legislative Session made significant changes to existing animal laws and local ordinances that will change the trajectory of the animal law landscape for years to come.
Dog and cat breeder bill. In 2011, Texas passed a law regulating large-scale cat and dog breeders entitled the Texas Dog & Cat Breeders Law found in Chapter 802 of the Texas Occupations Code. While the 2011 law prevented animal cruelty at licensed facilities, loopholes allowed numerous large-scale breeders to avoid inspections and basic standards of care.
SB 876 was passed this session, requiring breeders with five or more breeding females to be licensed. Previously, only breeders with eleven or more breeding females were regulated. According to a Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) study, unlicensed breeding facilities are responsible for most cruelty and neglect complaints. SB 876 also removes the need to prove that a breeder sold 20 or more animals in a calendar year. By removing the “proof of sales” requirement, SB 876 closes a significant loophole that allowed commercial breeders to evade accountability. This legislation will enable the Texas Licensed Breeders Law to oversee the industry as originally intended.
Trap-Neuter-Return bill. In late 2022, confusion erupted over whether Trap-Neuter-Return (T-N-R) of unowned community cats should be considered “abandonment” under Section 42.092 et. seq. of the Texas Penal Code. T-N-R is widely regarded as a humane method of stabilizing the feral cat population by humanely trapping them, transporting them to veterinary clinics for sterilization and vaccination, then tipping their ear as a sign they have been treated. T-N-R programs save thousands of Texas cats from euthanasia annually, and the prospect of prosecuting T-N-R providers for abandonment threatened to end successful programs across the state. HB 3660 updates Section 42.092(a) of the Texas Penal Code by defining a "Trap-Neuter-Return Program" as a means of nonlethal population control and adding a defense to prosecution for returning T-N-R cats to their outdoor homes. As a result, the law now clearly distinguishes between abandoning an owned companion animal versus releasing a T-N-R cat. However, the unreasonable abandonment of an owned companion animal is still punishable by a fine of up to $4,000, jail time of up to a year, or both.
Fake service animals. In recent years, there has been a sharp increase in the number of non-disabled people misrepresenting their pet dogs as service animals so their pets can accompany them in public spaces. Increased incidents of pet dogs distracting or attacking service animals have diminished the quality of life for disabled people who rely on service animals to navigate daily life. After negative encounters with imposters, some businesses have denied legitimate service animals access to their establishments, and significant numbers of service dog teams have begun avoiding public spaces for fear of being accosted by untrained pets.
HB 4164 amends Section 121.006 of the Human Resources Code by clarifying the language describing a service animal and strengthening the penalties for misrepresenting an animal as a service animal when they are not specially trained to help a person with a disability. As a result of HB 4164, the fine for asserting an untrained pet is a service animal increases from $300 to $1000, and the offender may be required to perform 30 hours of community service for organizations serving persons with disabilities.
Preemption of city animal ordinances. HB 2127 preempts Texas’ municipalities from regulating activity under several sections of the Texas code unless that authority is expressly granted under another statute. It is uncertain to what extent HB 2127 will impair local authorities’ ability to protect consumers who purchase animals. HB 2127 amends Chapter 229 of the Local Government Code by prohibiting municipalities from adopting or enforcing regulations concerning “the breeding, care, treatment, or sale of animals or animal products, including a veterinary practice, or the business’s transactions if the person operating that business holds a license for the business that is issued by the federal government or a state.” While HB 2127 bars local government from passing future ordinances of this type, pet store ordinances adopted before April 1, 2023, remain enforceable until a statewide law regulating pet store sales is passed. Animal abusers prohibited from owning pets. As of May 2023, thirty-nine states have laws commonly called “possession bans” to prohibit persons convicted of animal cruelty from owning companion animals for a fixed period of time. The most common length of time a person is prohibited from possessing animals after conviction is five years. Some states go so far as to limit the ability of offenders to work with or ever own a companion animal again. HB 598 Amends Chapter 42 of the Texas Penal Code by adding Section 42.107, which makes it a crime for a person previously convicted of animal cruelty to possess a non-livestock animal (i.e., companion animals such as a cat or a dog) for a period of five years after conviction. HB 598 also enhances the penalty for repeat violations under Section 42.107 from a Class C misdemeanor to a Class B. Decades of research show that violence inflicted on animals is the greatest predictor that the offender will hurt people. HB 598 closes a significant gap in Texas law to prevent future violence by disrupting an offender’s access to animals for a significant period of time.

Here are some general steps you can follow:
How to Stop Your Dog from Urinating Inside the House
House training a dog can be a challenging task, but with patience and consistency, you can teach your furry friend to urinate outside. Here are some steps to help you achieve this:
1.Establish a Routine
Dogs thrive on routine. Set specific times for meals, play, and bathroom breaks. Most dogs will need to go outside shortly after eating or drinking.
2.Frequent Bathroom Breaks
Take your dog outside frequently. This is especially important for puppies who have smaller bladders and less control.
3.Praise and Reward
When your dog urinates outside, praise them and offer a treat. This will reinforce the behavior and make them more likely to repeat it.
4.Clean Up Accidents Thoroughly
If your dog urinates inside, clean the area thoroughly with an enzymatic cleaner. This will remove the smell and reduce the likelihood of your dog returning to the same spot.
5.Limit Water Intake Before Bed
Limit your dog’s water intake a few hours before bedtime to reduce the need for nighttime bathroom breaks.
6.Use a Crate
When you’re not home, consider using a crate. Dogs naturally avoid soiling their sleeping areas.
7.Consult a Vet
If your dog continues to urinate inside despite your efforts, it may be a sign of a medical issue. Consult your vet to rule out any health problems.
Remember, patience and consistency are key. With time, your dog will learn to associate outside with bathroom breaks, leading to a happier and cleaner home for both of you. Good luck!

9th Annual Extravaganza
thousands at the
We are so grateful for the service of our nation’s retired Police K-9 and Military Working Dog Heroes that we want to honor them in retirement, and ensure the best quality of life for them, by providing assistance with medical costs, food and end of duty services. We rely on donors like you to fund our project, because there are no public funds for police and military working dogs.
We are now working with Congress to change that with the K-9 Hero Act.
For the last three years Project K-9 Hero has been working on the K-9 Hero Act in coordination with Congressman Ron Wright and his office. Right now Project K-9 Hero, Congress, and the Senate are gathering support to take this bill to a vote.
The K-9 Hero Act was a vision we had at Project K-9 Hero and a vision our Founder, Jason Johnson, had over many years on how we can take funding from the federal government and help give that to non-profits to spend on medical bills for retired federal K-9s.
This bill will allow for any military working dog or federal law enforcement K-9s to seek services through non-profits like Project K-9 Hero and allow us as an organization to take in grant money to spend specifically on medical bills for those dogs.
This bill will allocate $5,000,000 of federal grant funds each fiscal year from 2021 through 2025.
The future of retired working dogs with respect to ownership and provision of medical services is often unclear and the medical treatment required by many former working dogs is significant enough that it creates a hardship for the individuals, often former partners, who take in these canine heroes. At Project K-9 Hero we set in to fill this gap.
This bill will help us at Project K-9 Hero free up some of our other donations where we can help spend it on a deputy sheriff dog or a state police dog or a city dog. Not only does it impact our federal community but it will impact our local and state communities as well.
Jason Johnson states, “For me it’s a legacy as the Founder of Project K-9 Hero. I want to make sure that the work is being carried on for generations to come. It’s time our government take into consideration that if we’re going to use them and treat them like heroes when they’re on duty and during their service that we're going to treat them the same way in retirement.”
We encourage you to reach out to your Senator or Congressman to ask them to support H.R. 5081, The K-9 Hero Act. These heroes spent their entire careers protecting us. Now it’s our turn to protect them. ead the status of this bill here: https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/5081/text

UnChained: Empowering Youth and Homeless Dogs for a Brighter Future
By Marlo Botello-Aepli, Executive Director of UnChained
As the Executive Director of UnChained, I am proud to share the impactful work we do in California's Central Coast region. Although we may seem far away from this Central Texas-based magazine, I was born in Lubbock and raised in Austin, so I feel a special connection to Rescue Mag and their mission.
UnChained is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that brings together youth and homeless dogs, providing a unique opportunity for personal growth, empathy, and skill development. Our mission is to empower youth while training and finding permanent homes for homeless dogs, fostering self-reflection, compassion, and valuable life skills among our participants.
I first got involved with Unchained when I adopted our dog Roland, who graduated from the program. I fell in love with the mission and started volunteering with them. This quickly moved to sitting on the board to become more involved. Seeing the kids and dogs grow in skills and transform over the eight weeks is heartwarming and impact-full to our communities.
UnChained operates in Santa Cruz, Monterey, and Santa Clara Counties in Northern California, teaching youth how to train homeless dogs in basic skills, manners, and socialization. Since our founding in 2011, we have worked with youth at the Rancho Cielo Youth Campus in Salinas, where we found adopters for our first three homeless dogs with the help of six remarkable youth. Today, our programs have expanded to serve communities from Monterey to San Jose, California.
Training homeless dogs who have experienced neglect, abandonment, or abuse serves as a powerful catalyst for youth development. By working with these dogs, our youth trainers cultivate empathy, compassion, and an improved sense of self-worth. The shared experiences of the youth and dogs create a deep connection that positively impacts their well-being and personal growth. Our youth trainers often express pride in their accomplishments and report an increase in patience and resilience.
UnChained's programs create a ripple effect within our communities. When youth actively participate in resolving community problems, such as training homeless dogs and navigating the challenges that arise, they develop a sense of purpose and belonging. By becoming part of the solution, they gain confidence and experience success, transforming into more engaged and contributing members of their communities.
Many of our graduates become volunteers within their own communities and schools, applying the skills and values they acquired through UnChained. Some even return to our organization as volunteers, supporting current students and sharing their experiences as mentors. This cycle of support and mentorship demonstrates the lasting impact UnChained has on the lives of our youth.
Join
Us in Making a Difference
You can be a part of the solution by getting involved with UnChained today. Your contribution will directly support our efforts to empower youth and find loving homes for homeless dogs. Together, we can continue fostering empathy, compassion, and personal growth, creating a brighter future for both our youth and the dogs they help.

On April 10th, HOTLFP/C4C, alongside Bellmead Animal Control Officer Randi, the local fire department, a local veterinarian, and many volunteers and vendors, served Bellmead families and their beloved dogs at the second annual Bellmead Family Dog Day! The event provided low cost vaccines and HOTLFP/C4C microchipped over 90 dogs for free, helping increase their chances of a safe/successful reunion if they’re ever lost. The event had lots of fun activities for humans too: activities, games, food, and more. We’re looking forward to the event next year, and upcoming microchipping events in other parts of Central Texas!
We could use help restocking our microchip supply: if you’re interested in donating microchips, please contact us at CRIBS4CANINES@GMAIL.COM

We are a 501c3 non profit organization working in Waco, Texas and the surrounding areas. Our efforts are divided between TNR and rescue because both are equally important to us.
TNR helps maintain the community cat population while providing healthier and safer lives for the cats. By fixing community cats, the number of unwanted kittens needing to be rescued decreases. Which helps us and the community as a whole.
However, we cannot fix them all and kittens are still needing our help. We accept kittens without mom, kittens with mom, and adult cats that are sick or injured. We fully vet each one from intake to adoption and while it is hard to say goodbye, we know they will thrive with their forever family. Being a rescue is challenging, but we believe it is our duty to help provide animals with everything they need.

WEIGHT

LIFE EXPECTANCY
12-16 years
About the Breed
The compact but muscular Australian Cattle Dog, also called Blue or Red Heeler or Queensland Heeler, is related to Australia's famous wild dog, the Dingo. These resilient herders are intelligent enough to routinely outsmart their owners. Standing between 17 to 20 inches at the shoulder, the Australian Cattle Dog is a sturdy, hardmuscled herder of strength and agility. The ACD is born with a white coat that turns either blue-gray or red. Both coat colors may feature distinctive mottling or speckling patterns. ACDs have immense work drive and excel at controlling and, of course, moving livestock. Their boundless energy and supple gait make them excellent running partners. ACDs are true-blue loyal, famously smart, tenacious, ever alert, and may be wary of strangers. If an ACD isn't challenged, it easily becomes bored and may get into mischief. It is recommended that ACD owners participate with these versatile dogs in some work, sport, or regular exercise to keep them mentally and physically fit.

GetALong Dachshund Rescue
About this Rescue
GetALong Dachshund rescue is a Dachshund rescue serving Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia. We step up for Senior Dachshunds and those with severe medical needs. We also rescue young dachshunds. Our main purpose is to rescue, rehabilitate and re-home our dachshunds in forever homes to live their lives in a safe loving environment.
We sometimes find ourselves providing loving arms and a safe foster home for the severely ill to live out their last days being loved and cherished, sadly all too often they are experiencing this love for the very first time.
Many of the dachshunds we get are abandoned in shelters because they can no longer provide their owners with healthy puppies to be sold. Or they have gotten old and are in need of medical attention so they are sent to the shelter for someone else to care for. All too often the only medical care they have ever had was their first shots as puppies.
Some of the Dachshunds who come to us are purebreds. They come to us in all shapes sizes and colors. If you are truly looking for a pet that wants nothing more then to please you and love you, then please consider adopting one of our seniors. They are full of love and ask for nothing more than to be loved in return.

BARI- Bari’s estimated birthday is 8/19/12, a very slim 11 lb, handsome reddish tan boy with white markings, he is fostering with IGCA Rescue North Texas. Bari is a special needs puppy mill rescue still working hard on socialization, human trust and physical attention. Everyone who spends time with Bari grows to love him. The happy dance he does, when he knows he is going outside, and his frolic through the yard as he runs back to the door is joyful to watch. He fits in beautifully with a group of dogs as he is easy and demands no attention causing jealousy. He prefers his kennel and a comfortable bed to toys and attention. Do you and your pets have a place in your home and hearts to become Bari’s forever family?

TAVISH-If you’re looking for a very loving, calm IG in his middle years, Tavish is your lad. Tavi (also known as Butterbean) is a charmer and whip-smart. He already knows many commands/words and learns more as his foster mom teaches him. Tavi loves a routine and finds it comforting to know what’s happening (and when) as regards to walks, potty breaks and feeding. This is partly the breed and also due to his blindness, caused by cataracts. Please don’t think of Tavi as a “special needs” dog; his foster mom believes he has been blind for quite awhile, since he’s very comfortable with his sight loss. He gets to know his home pretty quickly to make his way around and will zero in on your location when you say, “come!” and clap hands. He’s just a regular dog who happens to be blind.
EMMA ROSE- I'm a chill girl just looking for someone to snuggle with. I love laying outside in the grass just soaking up the sun and am very comfortable with using a supervised doggie door. I'm patient with my hyper foster sister and have never had a single issue with food aggression, even when foster sister tries to steal my treats! Emma Rose has been diagnosed with bladder cancer. She is currently symptom free (we found the mass by chance, during a routine vet visit) and has started treatment. At this time she is expected to have a good quality of life for at least the coming year, if not longer.
WALLACE- Wallace is a sweet boy who has made amazing progress during his time in rescue. He came to us from a puppy mill and was terrified of everything. People were very scary and it took a couple of months before he would willingly let his foster mom pet him. Wallace has discovered the joy of toys and he has become more and more playful. He loves the other dogs in the house and will frequently be seen cuddling with them on a dog bed. While Wallace has made a lot of progress, he is still continuing to grow. When new or confusing situations present themselves, he will get scared and is unsure of how to react. He is looking for a patient and loving home to help him as he continues on his journey, and you will be rewarded with lots of love!

Spay/Neuter Your Pet
as seen at:https://www.aspca.org/pet-care/general-petcare/spayneuter-your-pet
By spaying or neutering your pet, you’ll help control the pet homelessness crisis. Millions of healthy dogs and cats are euthanized in the United States each year simply because there aren’t enough homes to go around. There are also medical and behavioral benefits to spaying (female pets) and neutering (male pets).
Here are some of the medical benefits:
Your female pet will live a longer, healthier life. Spaying prevents uterine infections and decreases the incidence of breast tumors, which are malignant or cancerous in about 50 percent of dogs and 90 percent of cats. Spaying your pet before her first heat offers the best protection from these diseases. Neutering your male companion prevents testicular cancer and some prostate problems.
And behavioral benefits:
Your spayed female pet won't go into heat. While cycles can vary, female felines usually go into heat four to five days every three weeks during breeding season. In an effort to advertise for mates, they'll yowl and urinate more frequently—sometimes all over the house!
Your male dog will be less likely to roam away from home. An intact male will do just about anything to find a mate, including finding creative ways escape from the house. Once he's free to roam, he risks injury in traffic and fights with other animals. Your neutered male may be better behaved. Unneutered dogs and cats are more likely to mark their territory by spraying strong-smelling urine all over the house. Your dog might be less likely to mount other dogs, people and inanimate objects after he’s neutered. Some aggression problems may be avoided by early neutering. Spaying/neutering your pets is also highly cost-effective. The cost of your pet's spay/ neuter surgery is far less than the cost of having and caring for a litter.
Debunking Spay/Neuter Myths and Misconceptions
Spaying or neutering will not cause your pet to become overweight. Lack of exercise and overfeeding will cause your pet to pack on the extra pounds—not neutering. Your pet will remain fit and trim if you continue to provide exercise and monitor food intake. Neutering is not a quick fix for all behavior problems. Although neutering your pet often reduces undesirable behaviors caused by a higher level of testosterone, there’s no guarantee that your dog’s behavior will change after he’s neutered. Although the surgery will reduce the amount of testosterone in your dog’s system, it won’t eliminate the hormone completely. Neutering will also not reduce behaviors that your pet has learned or that have become habitual. The effects of neutering are largely dependent on your dog’s individual personality, physiology and history. When to Spay or Neuter Your Pet

(Hollywood, CA) -- POPOVICH: Road to Hollywood, a film directed and produced by Gregory Popovich, makes its’ world premiere at the prestigious Los Angeles film festival, DWF: LA Dances with Films on September 5 at the TCL Chinese Theater in Hollywood. The film also stars Gregory Popovich, Robin Slonina, Shannon Calcutt, Voki Kalfayan, Jimmy Slonina, and a handful of rescued dogs and cats. In addition to its’ world premiere at DWF: LA, the film will be distributed by Random Media and the deal was brokered by Sebastian Twardosz of Savant Artists. Twardosz also serves as a producer on the comedy.
Road to Hollywood is about a fired circus clown and his journey from ob scurity to fame and fortune. It is truly a tale about how anyone, no matter how desperate and difficult their circumstances may be, can achieve their dreams. With hard work and an unwavering belief in your destiny, you can find success. This message of hope and determination is wrapped in a package of nonstop action, family-friendly comedy, and a bevy of circus stunts and tricks sure to dazzle and charm audiences of all ages but especially kids. It is a funfilled, fast-paced comedy extravaganza, and a modern take on slapstick comedy. Not many actors have the ability to capture the true essence of classic physical comedy in modern times like Gregory Popovich, who has headlined his own show, the Popovich Comedy Pet Theater at Planet Hollywood Resort, and Casino at the heart of the Las Vegas Strip for over a decade.
Most recently the film won “Best Family Feature” at the Calcutta Film Festival, and an “Official Selection” at film festivals in Tokyo, Nice, and Milan. Every animal performer in the film is one of Mr. Popovich's personal pets. All of them have been adopted and rescued from shelters and have been lovingly trained using only positive reinforcement. Mr. Popovich is the only entertainer from the Soviet Union to have performed for so many of the major players of American late-night TV, including the likes of Johnny Carson, Jay Leno, David Letterman, and Craig Ferguson. He also made it to the finals of NBC-TV’s "America's Got Talent". Combined, over 100 million viewers have seen Mr.Popovich perform.
“This film is a culmination of my life's work in entertainment. Following in the tradition of the great masters of slapstick physical comedy such as Buster Keaton, Laurel and Hardy, and The Three Stooges, the movie recaptures some of that forgotten, laugh-a-minute magic for a modern audience. I have used my expertise as a live performer on the stage and in the circus to create a unique comedic vision for the silver screen.” explains Popovich.

About
Mid-Cities Community Cats is dedicated to improving the health and well-being of the cats that live in our neighborhoods. Through education and direct assistance, we help residents to TNVR the cats in their area, which in turn helps the local shelters and other surrounding residents. The benefits for property and homeowners who have community cats include:
A cat that has been TNVR’d will not longer produce unwanted kittens
Cats will be vaccinated for rabies, providing protection for both these cats and others that might come in contact with them
Spayed/neutered cats will be less inclined to “spray”/mark territory or fight
A controlled cat colony keeps other cats from moving into the area, avoiding the “vacuum effect”
These outdoor cats can help control the pest population, including mice, rats and snakes
By preventing additional reproduction, the number of cats who enter the local shelters is reduced, which in turn saves taxpayer dollars from being used for euthanasia

OUR MISSION
New Favorite Day was founded in 2020 to fill an unaddressed need in Rains County, TX. Rains County, the 4th smallest county in Texas, has no animal control, no intention of providing government assistance, and an intense stray and unwanted animal population. We work closely with fellow rescues in our county to help find unwanted pets homes (in Texas and other states alike), keep our citizens safe, and raise each other up.
Our goal is to have a central location in Rains County to provide pet resources to allow owners to keep their pets, locate lost & found pets, and give unwanted pets a loving temporary home until their forever home finds them.

Pound Pup and Friends Initiative
Fosters are needed apply today.
Our Story
PoundPup and Friends Initiative - PPFI·Wednesday, January 22, 2020· PoundPup originated in 2010, when our founder went to the local “pound” to pick up Polly (that’s her stray photo from the shelter website). Polly was apparently deaf and blind, and had mange. Her prognosis did not seem to be very good, and shelter staff released her free of charge, in hopes that she may have a few good days in a loving home. Many medical treatments later, Polly emerged healthy and very spunky. This is when PoundPup and Friends founder, Liz Rainey, realized that with proper funding, we could probably save a lot more animals from going to the pound, or getting adopted out of the shelter. An idea was born, but lack of funding soon stopped the program. But the idea lingered in Liz’s head, and on August 17, 2017, she filed the necessary paperwork to get PoundPup and Friends Initiative formally registered as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. We want to assist displaced, stray or unwanted pet animals in an effort to keep them out of shelters and avoid euthanasia or exposure to dangerous elements, human or natural.

From the moment that your pet enters our care, we adhere to the strict guidelines and standards set for by the International Association of Pet Cemeteries & Crematories.
Pet Angels guarantees that ashes that are returned are genuine. We use the Pet ID Tag system originally developed for human cremation. This Pet ID Tag can withstand temperatures exceeding 2800 degrees and will remain on your pet throughout the entire cremation process. What is Pet Cremation?
The staff at Pet Angels Cremation would like to express’s our deepest sympathies for your loss. We recognize that the love shared between a pet owner and a loyal pet is undeniable. In our opinion there is no better tribute to a fallen companion than to memorialize the love shared between an owner and pet through cremation. This allows pet owners to say goodbye to their four-legged companion in a dignified and loving way. We offer both Private and Simple Cremations, which are explained below. Cremation Options:
Private: This is a private cremation service where your pet’s remains are separated from others. The pet’s ashes are returned to the pet owner in a beautiful urn of their choice. Also included in a private cremation is our Essential Remembrance Package.
Simple: This is a “group” cremation where several pet companions are placed into the chamber together. There is no ash return with simple cremations. We will dispose of the pet’s ashes in a beautiful setting never to be disturbed.

Tiny is from a litter of wolfdog puppies that I raised for someone. I ended up rescuing all of them. The two males were placed with a friend who is experienced with wolfdogs and they will never be used for breeding. The females ended up staying here at the sanctuary. Potential adopters all wanted to use them to produce puppies they could sell. Tiny was a teeny tiny runt. After her bottle she always fell asleep on my lap or shoulder. She was a feisty little girl and holds a very special place in our hearts. She was the first puppy to howl and it was an adorable teeny howl. Tiny and siblings are upper mid content wolfdogs. Her brothers DNA tests came back at 83 and 87 percent wolf content.
Atlas was a mostly feral wolfdog who had been running loose near Winnfield, Louisiana for close to two years after his family moved and left him there. We agreed to take him if he could be trapped. Our VP along with a wonderful woman who lived in Winnfield finally caught Atlas, but not until somebody shot him point blank in the face. He almost lost his life right when Trish was gaining his trust. His story is a particularly tragic one, but he will be forever safe with us. He is a fractured, broken soul and we love Atlas very much.
About Us
Welcome to our sanctuary. We are a small sanctuary located in Grimes County, Texas. We have sanctuary animals that will live here for the rest of their lives. We will be doing educational programs at the sanctuary in the near future.

Woody’s Place Senior German Shepherd Sanctuary, Inc. is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization located in the beautiful Pocono Mountains in Greentown, Pa. Our mission is to provide the best possible long-term care for displaced senior German Shepherds. (Senior being 8 years and older.)
We also provide sanctuary for senior German Shepherds with Degenerative Myelopathy which is a disease that affects the spinal cord, resulting in slow progressive hind limb weakness, paralysis, and eventually death.
Displaced senior German Shepherds have come to us from as far south as Florida and as far west as California, but we primarily focus on Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey.
We are a cage-free, home environment on a little over three acres where the senior German Shepherds in our care get 24/7 supervision, the best medical care, high-quality dog food and homecooked meals, lots of orthopedic dog beds, plenty of short frequent walks, and lots of love and interaction with people and other dogs.

The horned lizard is able to shoot blood from its own eyes, up to a distance of 3 feet away. The rather bizarre and disgusting act is a defensive mechanism to confuse predators. Their blood contains a chemical that is noxious to predators, and this isn‛t its only trick – short-horned lizards are also capable of inflating their bodies up to twice their size to scare anything away.

Heart Of Texas Lost & Found
Want proof that microchips help reunite pets with their families? Meet Angel.
Angel is an Akbash/Pyrenees mix who went missing two and a half years ago. Her dog father, Doc Paulson, worked extra hard to prevent the gentle but cunning escape artist from finding her way out of the fence. But one day, she left and didn’t return. He called her microchip company, posted her online. He searched and searched and searched— all to no avail.
In December of 2021, one of our volunteers. Susan Widaski notified our rescuers of a large white dog living in a wooded area in Woodway, TX. It had been there for months, being diligently fed by a gentleman close by. Unfortunately, the dog evaded rescue.
In January, rescuer Tammy Andrews set up a trap for the elusive giant. She taught the Good Samaritan techniques for enticing the pup to the trap with food. Finally on February 22nd, it was was trapped and secured by Stephanie Cobbs. Who than brought her to livestock guardian dog expert Gail Forrest! After a microchip scan, it was discovered the pup was Angel. Doc Paulson’s beloved missing fur baby.
If Angel didn't have a microchip, it’s likely she wouldn’t have been reconnected with her family. The happy ending was tear filled and joyful! (Check out videos here: https:// www.facebook.com/groups/hotlfp/ permalink/3244701029106608/

Dog adoption from Zoi's starts with a general application. The application is used to evaluation not only the basic requirements for one of our dogs, but it also is used to make sure that the dog you are interested in is ideal for you. Some of our dogs come from difficult situations and we want to make sure that your adoption experience is a great one. We are adopting out family members and prefer homes where the animal is in the home, we do not generally adopt to outdoor only homes unless a dog requires it. Access to a fenced yard is also preferred, but dog friendly apartments are common these days and will be dependent on the dogs personality. Once the application is submitted it will be reviewed and if accepted we will arrange for you to take the dog home.
