Maggie - Maggie is a 4-year-old owner surrender to ASR. Maggie is a sable and white spayed sheltie. She is up to date on all of her vaccinations, is heartworm negative and on heartworm preventative. Maggie is currently undergoing treatment for ear and eye infections. These are quickly clearing up with medications and should be clear within the next few weeks. This petite little girl, she's 15 inches tall and weighs about 20 pounds, is shy and does have a tendency to nip if you come up behind her unexpectedly or if she feels threatened. As a result, it's not recommended that she go to a home with small children. With patience and time, she is opening up to her foster family and showing her personality. Her favorite thing is to be petted endlessly. She's just a little love sponge and when those big brown eyes look at you, it's hard to refuse.

Sandy - Sandy is a beautiful sable and white Sheltie that came to us from Buchanan Dam where he was found as a stray. He is about 12 years old and weighs 23 lbs. His small stature is no match for all the love in his heart. He has to be “with” you. He loves to be held and to take a nap in your lap. Definitely a LAP DOG. He learned to use the doggie door the first day by watching the other dogs use it. He enjoys the company of the resident shelties at the foster family’s home. He loves to play with stuffed toys, plays tug, and loves to fetch and bring the toy back to you for more. Sandy comes up to you for love, scritches, and strokes. He gives kisses. He has a good appetite and has been gaining much needed weight since being with his foster family. He loves car rides & treats (soft & broken up into small pieces). We think he may have “selective” hearing. He will make a great companion and a loving lap dog.

Goldie - Goldie was a stray in nearby Harker Heights and when her owner didn’t come for her, the animal control officers contacted us. Goldie is 18 months old with a beautiful gold and white sable coat. She is 16 inches tall and weighs 27 pounds. Goldie is a happy girl that always has a smile on her face. She was a little nervous when she first came into rescue but immediately realized that everyone was there to help and the smile, tail wags and wiggles started up. Goldie is up to date on all her vaccinations, spayed, heartworm negative and is on heartworm preventative.

Jazz- Jazz is a 4 or 5 year old sable and white sheltie pom mix that recently came to us from TLAC.  She was picked up as a stray and her owners never came for her.  Jazz’s name says it all…she is a bouncy, cuddly, kissy, charming little girl.  She is spayed, up to date on all her vaccinations, but is heartworm positive and will have to go thru 2 months of treatment.  Jazz stands about 12 inches and is a bit overweight at 20 pounds.  Jazz won’t be ready for adoption until the end of August.

But because of poor care before he came to us, Deke is heartworm positive and will have to go thru a 2 month treatment. Deke has a bright personality but is a bit frightened right now.

Cindy - Cindy is a gorgeous 3-year old shaded sable and white female who is approximately 15 inches tall and weighs 25 pounds. She was left behind when her family moved out of the house and she was left to fend for herself. Fortunately, a wonderful neighbor family stepped in and took care of Cindy for several days and then contacted our rescue group.

Cindy has been brought up to date on all her vaccinations and is heartworm negative and on heartworm preventative. She was recently spayed and is now ready for adoption.

Cindy is an extremely sweet girl who enjoys lots of attention. She is an absolute 'lovebug'. She likes to follow you around the house and be wherever her humans are. She gets along very well with children and enjoys being around other dogs. She is not an aggressive dog and has a very nice, calm personality. She walks very well on a leash and enjoys her walks. She also enjoys exploring the outdoors, especially if there are squirrels to chase! She also enjoys rides in the car.

Cindy has been a perfect guest in her foster home. She is a very obedient dog who is housebroken.

Cindy is sometimes shy when she first meets someone. However, she warms up very quickly. She seems to be more comfortable around women and sometimes acts like she is a bit afraid of men.

This wonderful dog needs to be adopted by someone who will love her and pay lots of attention to her. In return, Cindy will shower you with kisses to let you know she loves you too!

Sandy - Sandy was found wondering with a collar a leash in Helotes, close to San Antonio and Boerne, and the animal control folks contacted ASR asking for help with finding her a home. Sandy is a sable and white female sheltie/collie mix. She is 2 years old, 19 inches tall and weighs 42 pounds. She is now up to date on her shots but we found that she is high heartworm positive and intact. We will be having her spayed and treating her for heartworms in the near future. Sandy is a loveable, friendly, playful sheltie/collie that will be looking for a new home later this summer.

UPDATE - Sandy has been transferred to Houston Collie Rescue, for more information and an adoption application see their site!

Angie - Angie is a beautiful Sable Merle Sheltie that came to us from another rescue group in Wimberly.  Angie is 2-3 years old, is up to date on all her vaccinations, is heartworm negative, and is on HW preventative.  She was very shy at first, probably due to very little positive human contact in the past.  She now has been with one of our foster families for several weeks, and has really developed into a loveable and very playful little girl.  She needed to gain some weight, and is now 35 lbs.  She learned to use the doggie door to go outside and loves to play, take naps with and just be with the resident Shelties.  She loves chewies and stuffed toys, and will play by herself when the other two dogs get tired of playing.  She walks well on a leash, and enjoys day trips in the car.  She is learning to trust humans, and wants to be in the same room where you are.  She loves petting, chin scratching and tummy rubs.  Angie has been partial to men but is finding out that women are pretty wonderful too.  Recently she went to a picnic with many other shelties and people, she had a wonderful time socializing with the dogs and with the humans.  Angie has some problems with one of her hips and we are having her examined by a surgeon to determine if surgery will be necessary.

Toni - Toni came to us from San Antonio where she had been found in a very cruel and neglectful situation. Toni has some major skin issues which are being treated and each day she shows major improvements. Toni is so happy to be in rescue and away from all the troubles of her past, she now has a spring in her step, is bouncy and has a very positive attitude. After we get her skin problems under control, she will be spayed and then because she tested positive for heartworms, she will begin heartworm treatment.

Molly - Jolly Molly is a love bug who loves to stay close to her humans - you might call her a velcro dog since she sticks right to you!  At just over a year old, this sheltie mix is housebroken and can sit, down, and sometimes stay on command as well as shake hands. She’s a smart girl who loves to play with the other dogs in her foster home.  Molly is shy to new situations and people but she will quickly warm up with a little patience..  Don’t tell her that she’s too large to curl up in your lap – she’s not convinced that she’s too big for that and will attempt to curl in the smallest ball to fit any size lap.  With energy to burn, you’ll find a great running or walking companion in Molly.   This large girl is well suited to families with older children and it’s not recommended that she join a family with cats since she has a tendency to chase them in to the trees.  Come and meet Miss Molly – she would love to have a family of her own that will give her the attention and love she deserves.

Simone - Simone came to us from the local shelter where she was picked up as a stray.  She is a gorgeous 6 year old sable merle sheltie mix with 1 blue eye and 1 brown eye, the brown eye has a spot of blue in the middle.  She stands about 18 inches tall and weighs 22 pounds. Simone is up to date on all her vaccinations, spayed, heartworm negative and on heartworm preventative.  Simone's foster family says she is a real sweetheart, she likes children and gets along great with cats and other dogs.  Simone loves the outdoors.  She bonds quickly and is very protective of her family and surroundings.  She barks at what she determines to be an intruder until she is assured it's okay.  She wants to be loved by her human all the time but is very obedient.  She understands "no" and always comes when she's called.  She had a great time at the Sheltie Picnic and had no problem accepting the visitors to her foster home.  She'll make someone a great companion.

Clay - was left by his owners at the local shelter because of a move. Clay is 12 years old and full of love and happiness. He greeted his rescuer with a smile on his face and a happy tail.
