It was Leo's time in December and I had to let go of my buddy my baby so he could be happy without pain. He won the battle with cancer earlier this year, but lost to his age of 10 years. Leo went from running and playing tug of war to barely moving within the last 2 weeks. I will miss him terribly, but his memory lives on with the program he helped start. It is because of him that I do what I do. The program lives on with Leo and the new addition to my family. Meet Leia. Yes, like Princess Leia. I rescued her from Killeen Animal Services. She was picked up in Killeen because she was tied to a pole and had not eaten for days. This precious baby was on the brink, but after an IV and lots of love from the staff her healing began. She is about a year old with lots of energy, oh yeah lots of energy. She will have a forever home with me. She has Leo's eyes and keeps what the mission is about: SAVING LIVES. Together We Can Make a Difference, Ron Ducharme Editor

Drowzy Dawg directly participates in, and provides a forum for others to engage in the promotion of animal welfare. Drowzy Dawg expects to expand and redefine rescue activities programs as necessary to meet the continuing challenge of animal welfare and rescue in our community.

How We Do It Our organization is run entirely by volunteers and all of our pets are housed by dedicated foster families throughout the Hill County and surrounding area. We focus on helping the healthy and treatable pets who are at risk of euthanasia at Rural Texas Shelters – by rescuing the pets at greatest risk and helping owners who are having problems so great that they need to surrender their pet(s) to a shelter.

The importance of Life Insurance I get asked why I feel Life Insurance is so important. That's like asking why is it important to eat, sleep, and breathe. We all, eventually, are going to need it. It's hard to talk about Life In surance. No one enjoys talking about why it's needed. I, myself, however, don't want to leave my family that I love, with bills to pay. I lost the love of my life, my high school sweetheart, the father of my son, at the young age of21 years old. We had our whole lives ahead ofus. We had just bought a house on some land (so I could have my horses and dogs). He always took care of me and our son who had just turned a year old and had been through more surgeries than one should. Me, well, I had just gotten through dealing with my scare of having cancer re moved. My husband was not only our rock, he was our main provider. He was an amazing welder and his paychecks proved that. He was on the fast track to being one of the "big boys" in the company. They relied on him heavily in his job. So did us, at home. Life Insurance was the furthest thing from our minds. We were young and thought we were invincible. Until trag edy struck. He just had to have a new motorcycle. I knew it was a bad idea. But how do you tell the man that has done everything for you, no? You don't. So, he bought a bike. He had rid den them his entire life. It took one turn and too much speed for me to lose my best friend. My son lost his dad. My world, well, it got turned upside down. He had a very small insurance pol icy. But praise God he did. Turns out his employer had a policy on all of their employees, what a blessing. Funerals are expensive. Bills are expensive when you are suddenly the only one paying for all of them. Children are expensive when you become the only parent overnight. Livestock and pets are expensive to feed and vet on one income. Life insurance is a MUST! You never know what is going to happen. You never know what is going to unfold in the fu ture. None ofus have control over the uncontrollable. But what we can control is how we make sure our families aren't burdened with our passing. The last thing they need when they are mourning is to worry about our children, livestock, pets, or bills. Let them know and feel how much we loved them enough to think far enough ahead to take care of our debts and future expenses. Life insurance truly is an act of love. -Summer Reilly, Account Representative

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 n 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.

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!

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

Weighing in at a small 10.5 pounds, he is a bundle of fun looking for a forever home.  Henry requires a home with a fenced yard,  no children under the age of 15 and someone home with him most of the time. He would not do well in a home where he would be left alone a great length of time daily. Henry is available to dachshund experienced homes only. Henry is ready to explore everything! He loves people, other dogs and loves to play with toys. His favorite activities include chasing geckos in his foster home's yard in Florida. Henry is not a barker and loves lap time and to cuddle. For more of Henry go to our site.
Khloe and Kloppe are a bonded senior pair looking for a loving home. Khloe and Kloppe are both black and tan smooth purebred dachshunds and weigh about 16 pounds and are 11 years old. Khloe and Kloppe get along well with other dogs, kitties and children of all ages. This happy pair are submissive and calm and enjoy cuddle time. They love a car ride and spending time with their people. Khloe enjoys playing with toys. Like most dachshunds, Khloe and Kloppe will over eat given the opportunity and their food intake should be carefully monitored. They are both leash trained and would love a home that had time to spend with them every day. They sleep in the big bed in their foster home in Tennessee and would like a home where they can continue to enjoy big bed privileges. This wonderful pair are house trained and pee pad trained! Like all dachshunds they will need to be confident in their environment to have good potty habits. All rescue dogs go thru a period of adjustment so understanding and patience is important. Khloe requires a daily thyroid pill and both of these dogs have low grade heart murmurs, not uncommon for senior dachshunds. These wonderful dogs are waiting for their forever family that will open their heart and loving arms to them. Apply to adopt them today! Senior, Male, Small

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.
