Story
Sadie is a cute little yorkshier/ chihuahua female, that's 6 years old. We've had her since she was 8 weeks old, and she's house broke, and plays with kids and our male dachshund, but sometimes fights with our little female pomeranian, which is why were looking for a new home for her. She has a skin condition on her back, which is probably allergy related, as we've tried conditioners, pills, ect,, but she still scratches. She's sweet and loveable, but very shy at first. She's always had a big back yard and other dogs to play with.

Story
Meet Zip & Zap Zip and Zap are a bonded pair of 2.5-year-old cattle dogs who are inseparable. You'll never find one without the other—they truly are the best of friends. Both have a strong herding instinct and love to explore their surroundings, making them the ideal companions for an active family. Zip is the larger of the two, weighing in at 45lbs with a bright coat and a heart full of affection. He's got a great temperament and bonds quickly with people. Zip loves attention and might get a little jealous when his sister gets some love, but he's never aggressive—just eager to share the affection. Zap, the 38lb female, is a beautiful dog with a unique double mask and a story to tell. After chewing on an electrical cable as a pup, her front teeth fused together, giving her a one-of-a-kind smile. She’s also got a couple of small scars from the incident that serve as reminders of her resilience. Despite her past, Zap is quick, intelligent, and just as affectionate as her brother. Zip and Zap are friendly with other dogs, however we are recommending that they be the only household pets, mainly because of their strong bond with each other. They are gentle and friendly enough to be in a home with kids who can properly respect their space, as with any dog. Both dogs were surrendered together and narrowly escaped euthanasia in a San Antonio shelter due to overcrowding. Now, they’re ready to find a forever home where they can share their love, loyalty, and zest for life. If you’re looking for a pair of devoted companions who will stick by your side through thick and thin, Zip and Zap are the perfect match.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Darling little Cherry is a 4 1/2-month-old Boston pup who has a cherry eye. She will be seeing the vet soon for a full evaluation and we will schedule her surgery once she has a complete work-up. Cherry is extremely affectionate, and she does really well with young children and other dogs. Her foster family raves about her, and she's got a real fan club in the two young girls with whom she shares her current home. More to come after her next vet visit! Note: We are not accepting applications for Cherry at this time. Once she's medically cleared, we will open the flood gates. <3 If you have questions specifically about Cherry, please email us at info@abtrr.org. Cherry is being fostered in the Tulsa, OK area. While we do have a phone number, we have a very small volunteer base and we are often unable to return phone calls in a timely manner. Thank you!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Charlie was hit by a car and sustained a fractured spine, traumatic brain injury, severe road rash to both his eyes and his body.  He spent two months in the hospital recovering from his injuries. We were able to save both his eyes, but he does have limited vision in them. He is currently a paraplegic and gets around in a wheelchair, but he is gaining more and more use of his legs every day. Our hope that he will be able to walk on all fours again in the future. He does have some issues with controlling his bladder.  This is related to his fractured spine.  As this heals, his control increases. If you would like to donate towards Charlie's monthly care, send your donation to: Paypal: @abtrtx or fundraiser@rescuebostons.org Zelle: info@abtrr.org Venmo: @Heidi-Murphy-68 Ca$hApp: $   beandogmom &#226&#128&#139Snail Mail: ABTRR, PO Box 1286, Little Elm, TX 75068 Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 12, 2024, 12:16 am
