Barclay
Barclay had only a few more minutes to live when we rescued him from the shelter. He came to us
without knowing the joys of playing with toys or other puppy stuff. His personality quickly came out,
and he became a lively, affectionate boy. Barclay now lives with his new family in Central Texas.

Bentley is one of the coolest dogs we've ever had in rescue. He was with us for over a year before finding a family who really
appreciates his laid back attitude. We know he is very loved and cared for in his new home.
Emma
Emma was a scared, sick little puppy when she came to us from the shelter. Over the next few days, her cold
cleared up, and we discovered her love of other dogs. She loves to romp and play, and be cuddled by her
people. She went to live with a fireman and his wife, and her new friend, a little black Pomeranian named Cole.

Kayla
Toys used to be Kayla's favorite things - now her favorites are Megan and Hannah, her two girls. Kayla was with us for
over a year, and is now happily in her new home. Her love of children and her gentle nature are rewarded with lots of
tender grooming and primping from Megan, and squeals from Hannah. Her siblings Lynwood and Cheyenne were
also adopted from us in 2001.

Rain
Rain was destined to be destroyed at the shelter when we swooped in to rescue her. Before we could even have
her spayed and get her out, though, we got a call from a lady who wanted to adopt her. Rain went directly from the
shelter to her new home, and is now enjoying the good life with the lady's Jack Russell Terrier.

Senta
Senta is a sweet, good-natured girl. She was rescued from the shelter after being turned in by her previous owners.
Although, with her wonderful personality and striking looks, it's hard to understand how anyone would give her up. She was
adopted by a very nice lady who previously adopted a GSD mix from our group. Now Senta has an adopted brother to play
with, and a very caring adopted mother to care for her.

Taz
Taz is an exuberant little girl, who loves people, and gives great stand-up hugs. She has found a wonderful home with
a very nice man in Austin, who pampers and spoils her as much as she likes. Taz is glad to be an inside dog, and to
have someone all to herself to love.

Zoe
Zoe was one of six puppies we rescued from starvation from a ranch in Bastrop County. (see 2001 Success
Stories to read about their mom Natasha). Zoe was the 'runt' of the litter and had a few more challenges than
the other puppies. She was so tiny, and it took her a while to recover from her ordeal. Zoe recovered
beautifully to become a sweet, loving little puppy. She can't get enough of being held and loved, and she is
getting plenty of attention in her new home. She has a built-in doggy pal, Duke, and loves to go in and out of
the cat door

Bear
Bear, one of the Bastrop Bunch puppies, was adopted by a family in Georgetown. The kids took to him right
away, and their little girl calls him "Little Bear" after one of her favorite stories. Sam the dog also liked Bear
from the start, and "mothers" him, following him around the yard and leaving kisses on his head.

Scout
A friend of ours just recently adopted Lizzie from you (see Success stories
2005). We had recommended your rescue group to her because of our
success with Scout. My Husband and I adopted Scout Sept. 2002. At the
time he was 6 months old. Since then we could not imagine our family with
out him. He has one sister, a beagle named Abbie, and they hit it off right
away. We found that Scout was very good at "corralling" the beagle and
keeping her in line. He is the most loving dog I have ever meet, he is a true
snuggle lush. He is very intelligent and has picked up everything we have
taught him. He knows his basic commands (sit, lay, speak) in sign
language and in German! Everyday we think to ourselves...who in their
right mind would of abandoned this guy? Scout and Abbie have a large
back yard with a doggie door so they run in and out of the house as they
please. They will lay out and sun until they get too hot and come in and fall
asleep on the cool kitchen tile. We come home everyday for lunch to eat
with them, and almost every night we take a long walk together in the piney
woods here in Bastrop. Scouts hobbies include camping, taunting his sister
with squeaky toys, sneaking on the bed in the middle of the night, and
giving kisses. One day we hope to rescue another dog from you, or maybe
even become a foster family. I would and did recommend you for anyone
wishing to add joy to their lives with a dog. Thank you for everything you
do, you are a true hero, and you helped complete our family.

MoJo (left) was the biggest of the Bastrop Bunch of
puppies, so he needed a special home - and he got one.
His family wanted a dog that would be BIG, and MoJo
definitely fits the bill. He is ready to romp and play with his
two girls, and be loved on by the whole family. He even
likes the cat!
