About This Rescue Apollo Support and Rescue is an accredited and certified 501c3 non-profit organization. Our organization rescues dogs from local North Texas animal shelters or dogs trying to survive from abuse or neglect and living a hard life on the street. If only dogs could talk we would know more about their history and where they came from. They may have scars, been abused or abandon or just lost their way. Our goal at Apollo is to be a stepping-stone to care for them and place them in homes that believe in second chances. We at Apollo are dedicated to finding our dogs the right home and to help you find the right dog for your family. Contact this rescue on how you can help.

About This Group CTLAFP is a group that supports the families of missing pets and supports those who find stray pets. We are a Facebook support group for folks in the lost pet community. We started the page in 2012. We have an admin team, a moderator team, scanners, fosters, and over 30,000 members. We do not have funding, we are not a 501, we are not a rescue. Our goals are to reunite pets and their families above all. To keep pets out of our over crowded local shelters, we ask regular citizens to open their home to lost pets. We offer an adoption page for those who have held found pets over 72 hours and we also help raise funds for vetting found pets. We attend pet events and host our own events through out the community to allow these members the chance to find homes for their fosters. Email ctlafp@gmail.com for more information.

He is a handsome 3-yearold Lab Mix. He loves the outdoors and playing in a doggy pool. He’d prefer to lay at your feet more than anything else.

By Lend-A-Heart Ranch & Rescue
learn more about them on the next page.
This is Lonesome, we pulled him from Bell County Animal Control after he had been there for several months. He came in as an emaciated boy found as a stray. Lonesome was always labeled as a happy, hyper boy who just did not listen. Upon bringing him to Lend-A-Heart Rescue we learned Lonesome was a dog who did not listen because he was deaf. Lonesome learned a few things while at our rescue, he played well with other dogs, crate trained, walked on a leash, but no matter how good he was people would shy away when they learned he was deaf. After having him 7 months with our rescue I decided to reach out and ask for sponsors so he could go to a trainer for 1 on 1 training. Our prayers were answered as a dear lady I know sponsored his whole training fee with Loose Leash Happy Paws. Mike readily accepted Lonesome into his home and went to work. As a result Lonesome found a forever home with a wonderful lady who had previously owned a deaf dog. Lonesome is loving life for the first time ever and we want to thank those who made that possible...Cathy Comstock for sponsoring him and Michael Pierce for having the patience and determination to help Lonesome become a better partner and companion!

I Never Imagined Anything Could Hurt This Badly. “When I was growing up, I was told two HUGE whoppers by my dad... he had the best of intentions, mind you, but these were just plain wrong. I have found smaller ones, for example, it turns out that ‘honesty’ (like a few other virtues that come to mind) is sometimes vastly overrated. Or that ‘there’s good in everybody’.” That one has turned out to be a big disappointment (and dead wrong) as well. But these two are the biggest. The first: There was no such thing as monsters. I haven’t figured out whether he was lying to me, or just wrong. I have been dealing with a particularly savage monster for a while now. His name is “Osteosarcoma” a bone cancerunbelievably aggressive and QUICK), and he has picked our friend Kronk out as his victim. Kim and I have been fighting it tooth and nail for over three months, but each day we get a little weaker and the bad guy gets a little stronger. We knew we were going to lose in the end, of course-but that in no way changes one’s obligation to crawl into the ring and deal out as serious a beating as you can manage-until you just simply can’t. The bell rings and the final round ends. We did manage to forcibly take some additional time-by breaking a few heads and going some places we don’t normally go. We snaked some compounds that gave the cancer a severe setbackfighting the various government agencies that didn’t want us to have it for some reason. But we could only hit the “snooze” button a certain number of times before we are faced with the inevitable; the birth certificate is a two-part form. And, sooner or later, the second page is going to come into play.

There is always something uniquely horrible about looking into a friend’s eyes and knowing that they are in pain. That they don’t understand why you can’t do anything about their hurting, or even why it occurred in the first place. Why, as leader of the pack, you promised to protect them against all that would do them harm and are failing so miserably. And yet, even as you flail and rail and scream into the night, they forgive you; they are concerned about the howl of misery that you are fighting to keep from leaping from your lips and slashing at the very sky. And why your promise includes yourself as one of the ones that you will protect them against. No matter how hard you rail, no matter how loudly you scream, there comes a point where you are hurting them to hold off your pain as long as you possibly can. The second lie was this: that time heals all wounds. No, it doesn’t. The best you can hope for is that you’ll learn to live with the gash in your soul, and maybe avoid tearing it open too often. But, the hole that has been torn in your very being never truly goes away. Like a mirror that shatters in front of your eyes-you can still make out the image, but the picture will never ever be whole again. All you’ll ever be able to do is catch glimpses out of the corner of your eye of the crystalline multi-colored fragments of endless shattered dreams. Dreams of playing ball. Dreams of barking at leaves, at chasing motes of dust in a sunbeam. Dreams of long walks by the lake, sniffing and sniffing and sniffing. And grinning. God, how I am going to miss that grin. And you wonder how this can happen to someone that has never ever hurt anyone in his life. I have had a rougher life than plenty of people; was on the road for a great part of my college life (went weeks at a time without seeing the sun) and have seen some things that will truly make one question whether there can possibly be a God that watches over us.
Of course, that pretty much proves the point, for without some sort of caretaker this race would have been doomed a long, long time ago-taken to ground by the first woodchuck that we happened across. But why does Kronk have to go, when so many undeserving manufacturers of misery seem to thrive? But if it hadn’t been for one of those trogs, I never would have met Kronk in the first place-perhaps there is a plan after all. If I were running things, we (dogs, cats, people) wouldn’t have different life spans—with reference to Ernie Stewart, we would live ripe old ages and pass side-by-side a few hours apart in warm safe beds surrounded by friends and loved ones. And how can one ever survive losing a parent-or worse-losing your child? Bill Steffens said it to me best: “Kids kind of expect to outlive their parents. Parents never expect to bury their child.” If you wife dies, you are a widower. If your husband dies, you are a widow. If your parents die, you are an orphan. But when your pet and best friend dies…there’s not even a word for it. That’s how truly awful it is. If I am going through this after only knowing a non-vocalizing furry pain-in-the-rump (sometimes) for a few years, how can anyone ever keep going? I would give anything to keep that question rhetorical…. One of the things that we were proudest of in Kronk was how many other mutts he helped rehabilitate; our goal was to have him spend out his days going to the old-folks and retirement homes to cheer those guys up a little. With that loopy grin and his doofy head shake, everyone who ever met him instinctively trusted him. Except with salmondon’t trust him with salmon. He weighed that cost-benefit and elected to go for the goal. I am trying to focus on the good that he has accomplished-at the joy that he brought into our and countless other lives.
Of course, this isn’t a judgment call-I guess I can thank God for that small mercy. Very small, in fact. I think about the nights getting up to take him out at 3 a.m., the picking of his 100-lb carcass out of bed every morning (he was sleeping with Kim—I got the sofa) and placing him back in bed every night. The specialty food, the running home at lunch to give him pain meds. Having to watch him on the sofa; he wanted to go harass and play with the other dogs, but we couldn’t take the risk of him shattering an already fragile leg. The constant travel to get high-pH water, the reading of so many bloody labels to avoid processed sugar that I was ready to scream (it’s in EVERYTHING!). Fighting to get him to go outside to pee (it hurt to walk) and then fighting again to get him to come back to dinner. We would do it again without hesitation! But as I drive home from the vets (I pulled off the highway to write this before it escaped my mind; typing on this shitty little cell-phone is a punishment in itself), I am struggling with the fact that we get only one more sunrise. No more ball playing. No more licks or mooching from the table. No more ringing the back door chimes to be let out. No more snoozing in a comfy sunbeam. No more snoring at the foot of the bed. No more enthusiastic greetings when I get home. No more nuzzling my arm when he wants to be petted. And I guess now I realize that Dad lied to me one more time: “Big boys don’t cry.” I can hardly see the road.
He didn’t just sit in a back yard somewhere; he served as an ambassador to help increase the awareness that, like people, your appearance doesn’t dictate who you are. And, he converted quite a few people that would have otherwise not known how much fun he could be, or how happy a big slobbery mutt can make you. The older folks didn’t seem to be terribly amazed that he was friendly—they just seemed to be happy that he was paying attention to them without any reason other than he liked them. Going to miss that as well! Just left the vet after looking at an x-ray that appears to be a time-lapse of mushrooms growing; the lungs aren’t even recognizable anymore.

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

Thank you for your support over the past 6 years as we rescued, rehabilitated, and rehomed Mastiffs across Texas. We’ve had the opportunity to meet so many people through our Microchip clinics, training classes, and community focused events in addition to our rescue efforts. Your support has been instrumental in our ability to give back in so many areas and for that, we thank you. As we go inactive for a period of time to renew our own souls, we ask that you continue to keep up your support of other groups that work hard every day to support local community efforts. Rescue is our passion - rescue touches every part of our community – hurricane relief efforts saw us do a drive to fill a tractor trailer with human and pet items to take down south, back to school time saw us do drives for school supplies and pet items. If families have to choose between humans and pets, the pets always lose. To us, it’s a no brainer to help the entire community to save the pets. Our gratitude is immeasurable for all that y’all have done with us and we look forward to the day we once again step into our role in community involvement. Until that day, keep doing good things – Waggers for life! -The Board of Directors, Fosters and Volunteers of School of Wags
