New Year, Same Needs for Rescues

By the Editor-in-Chief, Rescue Magazine

As we usher in a new year filled with hope, resolutions, and fresh beginnings, it’s easy to focus on what’s next. But here at Rescue Magazine, we’re reminded that some needs remain constant—especially for our four-legged friends still searching for warmth, safety, and a forever home. Across Texas, winter may not always bring snow, but it brings real risks to pets and strays alike. Dropping temperatures, icy winds, and seasonal illnesses make this a dangerous time for animals without shelter or consistent care. This month, we spotlight Winter Pet Safety—offering readers actionable tips to keep their pets warm and healthy, while also stepping up to help vulnerable strays in their communities. In this issue, you’ll find: Cold Weather Pet Tips to protect paws, noses, and hearts. Ways to donate essential supplies like coats, heated beds, and food. A reminder that adoption doesn’t take a holiday. Animals need homes year-round, and your support— through fostering, adopting, or volunteering—can change everything for one life. While we celebrate the clean slate of a new year, we urge our readers to carry forward the compassion and commitment that defines our rescue community. The needs of animals in shelters don’t pause with the turning of a calendar, and neither do we. Let’s make 2026 the year we double down on love, advocacy, and action. For the animals, Ron Ducharme Editor-in-Chief, Rescue Magazine

About the Sanctuary Anca's Ark Animal Sanctuary is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to providing care for animals that were once abandoned and unwanted! Anca Neagu is a licensed Professional Engineer. She is also a former member of the US Women's Boxing Team (World Championships - 2005, USA vs. Russia - 2000), a Police Academy graduate (2013), and a former volunteer firefighter (2018). https://www.facebook.com/pages/category/Nonprofit-Organization/AncasArk-Animal-Sanctuary-785735064918999/


The Animal Cause, Inc. was established in 2014 and is a Texas based 501(c)(3) nonprofit volunteer services, animal welfare organization. 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.


Cold Weather Pet Tips: Protecting Paws, Noses, and Hearts By Rescue Magazine Staff When winter sets in across Texas, we bundle up, heat our homes, and adjust our routines. But our pets? They rely on us to keep them safe, warm, and comfortable as the temperatures drop. Whether you're walking your dog on frosty mornings or making sure your outdoor kitties have shelter, winter requires special care. Here’s how you can protect the most vulnerable parts of your pet this season—their paws, noses, and hearts. Paw Patrol: Winter Foot Care Ice Isn’t Nice: Salt, ice-melting chemicals, and frozen ground can cause cracked paw pads or chemical burns. Always rinse and dry your pet’s paws after walks. Boot Up: Pet booties offer a layer of protection. While some pets need a little time to adjust, many quickly learn to love their winter shoes. Trim But Don’t Shave: Long hair between paw pads can trap ice balls. Keep it neatly trimmed, but avoid shaving it too short—it provides insulation. Nose Know-How: Preventing Dry & Cracked Snouts

Hydration Matters: Dry, heated indoor air can dehydrate your pet just like it does us. Always keep fresh water available and consider a humidifier in your home. Nose Balms: There are pet-safe moisturizers specifically for dry or cracked noses. Avoid human products like petroleum jelly unless approved by your vet. Watch for Warning Signs: If your pet’s nose becomes discolored, overly crusty, or they seem uncomfortable, it may signal an underlying condition that requires a vet’s attention. Matters of the Heart: Comfort, Connection & Care Shelter from the Cold: Pets should never be left outside for long during cold weather. Provide warm bedding, insulation, and wind protection—even for garage or porch setups. Senior Pet Love: Cold weather can worsen arthritis and joint issues in older pets. Provide padded beds and consult your vet about supplements or medications for comfort. Stay Social: Cold days can lead to less activity and more boredom. Keep your pet mentally stimulated with indoor play, training sessions, or puzzle toys. Be Their Calm: Loud winds, storms, or fewer daylight hours can stress some pets. Your affection and routine will help them feel secure. Bonus Tip: Helping Community Animals Not all pets have a warm home this winter. Consider setting up an outdoor cat shelter using a plastic bin and straw (never blankets—they freeze!). And always report stray or injured animals to your local shelter or rescue group. A Final Word: Warmth Starts With You Winter brings beauty and coziness—but also challenges for the animals we love. By taking simple steps to protect paws, noses, and hearts, you're giving your pet the gift of comfort and safety this season. And remember: every act of kindness helps keep a tail wagging—whether it’s your pet’s or a stray in need.

Training Tips : 1. Start With Safety Before Skills Many rescued dogs arrive frightened or overwhelmed. Before teaching commands, teach comfort. What this looks like: Provide predictable routines (feeding, walks, rest times). Use a calm voice and slow movements. Allow the dog to approach you, rather than forcing interaction. A dog who feels safe will learn faster and build trust more naturally. 2. Use Positive Reinforcement—Always Rescue dogs often come from difficult situations where punishment was common. Positive reinforcement rewrites their story. Recommended rewards: Soft treats, Gentle praise, A favorite toy, Short play sessions. Reward any desirable behavior, even tiny steps—sniffing your hand, holding eye contact, walking beside you for one second. Small wins create big breakthroughs. 3. Break Training Into Bite-Sized Steps For a dog with trauma or fear, even the simplest commands can feel overwhelming. Instead of teaching “sit” all at once, shape the behavior. Example: Teaching “Sit” the gentle way Reward the dog for looking at you. Reward the dog for shifting weight back. Reward the dog the moment their rear lowers—even slightly. Build gradually until a full sit happens naturally. Shaping builds confidence and reduces frustration for both trainer and animal. 4. Respect the Dog’s Emotional Threshold A dog can only learn when they are calm enough to process information. If a dog refuses treats, pulls away, or freezes, they are overwhelmed. When this happens: Increase distance from triggers. Keep sessions short (5–10 minutes). End on a positive note—even if the “win” is simply the dog choosing to stay near you. Progress isn’t linear, especially with rescue animals. Patience is the most powerful tool you have. 5. Socialization Must Be Gentle, Not Rushed Many rescue dogs were isolated or exposed to chaotic environments. Socialization should be about quality experiences, not simply exposure. Healthy socialization includes: Calm meetings with friendly dogs Short visits to new environments Positive introductions to noises, surfaces, and routines Never force interactions. Let the dog decide how much they’re ready for. 6. Celebrate Every Milestone The first tail wag. The first time they eat all their food. The first walk without fear. The first time they fall asleep near you.

These are victories. Training a rescue dog isn’t just about commands—it’s about healing, leadership, partnership, and rewriting a life story. Final Thoughts Every rescued dog arrives with a past, but training gives them a future. With patience, kindness, and consistency, even the most timid animal can blossom into a confident companion.

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. Follow us on social (Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram) or visit our website to sign up as a volunteer or make a donation today. Let's unleash the potential of our youth.

Rating: Pet Organics No Scratch is a training spray designed to deter cats from scratching furniture, carpets, and other household surfaces. While some cat owners report success in reducing scratching behavior, others find its effectiveness inconsistent, as some cats seem unaffected by the formula. The spray is nontoxic and safe for pets, making it a humane alternative to declawing or harsh deterrents. However, for best results, it should be combined with proper redirection to scratching posts and positive reinforcement. Overall, it’s a decent option for mild cases, but results may vary depending on the cat’s personality and habits.

Liberate & Save! Elephants Austin is a nonprofit that provides guardianship to the highly endangered Asian elephant. We’ve witnessed first- hand the tears in captive elephants' eyes, and we’ve seen them rejoice once they arrive at sanctuary. It is our mission to educate the public and our supporters on the urgent problems facing captive elephants today. We fight for their freedom from abuse and captivity, targeting the dark side of tourism in Thailand and elsewhere. We advocate for their journey to liberation through the funding of rescue missions, and we support their extended care in ethical sanctuaries once they get there. All of these efforts are made possible through education, fundraising, and contributions to our nonprofit.

Fixin' Ferals TNR and Rescue https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100073692554041

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. madisonbrookeohler@gmail.com

Temple TX Call us at 254-771-9090

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!

Our intakes usually come from Limestone County, Freestone County, Leon County, Navarro County, McClennan County and sometimes much further.

We adopt out-of-state as well and partner with Rescues and Shelters across the United States.

(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.

January Pet Health Tips: Stay Safe This Winter Cold weather brings special challenges for pets—especially seniors, short-haired breeds, and outdoor animals. Here’s how to keep them safe and healthy: Limit time outdoors to prevent hypothermia and frostbite. Use pet-safe paw balm and wipe paws after walks. Support stiff joints with soft bedding and vet-approved supplements. Prevent dry skin with omega-3s and humidifiers. Keep parasite prevention going—fleas and ticks don’t take winters off. Book your annual vet checkup early in the year! Let’s start 2026 with comfort, care, and warmth—for every tail and paw.

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.

Happy New Year! 2012 is going to be a wonderful year for animals in San Antonio. You may be aware already that the Austin city shelter has gotten to a greater than 90% save rate due largely to the efforts of Austin Pets Alive! The great news is that San Antonio Pets Alive! has already been formed to make San Antonio a No Kill City with an estimated life-saving launch date of 1/19/2012. This new organization will use best practices from many different cities to get to a No Kill San Antonio as fast as possible - which would make us the largest U.S. city to be No Kill! The world has long believed that there are not enough homes for the pets killed in shelters but according to the American Veterinary Medical Association, there are over 100,000 homes available to new pets in San Antonio each year. If we convince just 20% of those homes, through marketing, awareness, and adoption events to adopt a shelter pet instead of purchasing a pet, enough animals will be saved to make San Antonio a No Kill City (where only terminally ill or dangerous animals are euthanized). Currently, the city of San Antonio euthanizes

over 18,000 animals per year, or around 50/day. This is a crisis that needs immediate attention. SAPA will have a laser-like focus on the dogs and cats who are literally hours from euthanasia, and will provide temporary and emergency foster homes, medical aid, and adoption services to make sure they survive. Our first priority will be to save every single puppy and then move on to saving every single kitten, then on to the adults who end up on the euthanasia list. Just like every animal ends up in the shelter through the action of one person, we need for every animal to get out of the shelter alive through the action of individuals like you who all step up to help. It is going to take the San Antonio community to help make this a success! Let’s all make a New Year’s Resolution to save our San Antonio animals! San Antonio Pets Alive’s success will be possible because of YOUR thoughtful contributions (time and money). Because only by working together can we reach a time when there are No More Homeless Pets. Your tax-deductible gift will give hope and a loving home to San Antonio’s animals. Please don’t delay. I urge you to give

your most generous gift now so that we can rescue animals that are currently in danger of euthanasia and help re-home them in the new year! Thank you and bless you for your kindness In partnership and excitement Dr Ellen Jefferson Executive Director

According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), approximately 1.5 million shelter animals are euthanized each year in the United States. However, this number has decreased significantly over the past decade thanks to increased public awareness, spay/neuter programs, and adoption efforts. To the thousands of animals put down we remember you and will always fight to save those who need a home... ADOPT DON'T SHOP, SPAY OR NEUTER AND MICRO CHIP PLEASE...

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.

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.

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. 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.

Fun facts January Fun Facts: Cold Noses, Warm Hearts Edition 1. Dogs Can Get Frostbite Too! Just like humans, dogs (especially on their ears, paws, and tails) can suffer frostbite in freezing temps. That's why winter gear isn‛t just cute—it‛s practical! 2. Cats Will Sleep More in Winter Domestic cats can sleep up to 18 hours a day, and even more during colder months. It‛s their version of a cozy winter hibernation. 3. Dogs Have “Snow Noses” Some dogs (like Labs and Huskies) can develop a temporary light spot on their nose in winter—a harmless condition called “snow nose” or “winter nose.” 4. Strays Find Warmth in Car Engines Cats and small animals often seek shelter under car hoods. Always tap or honk before starting your engine in the cold! 5. Winter Is Prime Adoption Season January and February are great months to adopt. Many rescues are still full after holiday surrenders, and fewer adoptions happen in winter—your visit could mean a new beginning for a waiting pet! Would you like these turned into social media tiles, a printable handout for shelters, or included in the next radio segment?

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.
