Ginger - is a beautiful healthy female sable sheltie mix who is almost 4 years old. She was adopted from Austin Sheltie Rescue in 2007; however, Ginger was recently relinquished to us since the owner is having serious health issues.

Ginger has been brought up to date on all her vaccinations. She is spayed and microchipped. She is HW negative and on heartworm preventative. She stands appx 17 inches tall and weighs 35 pounds (could lose a few pounds).

Ginger is an extremely sweet and lovable dog who enjoys attention. She loves to please her humans and shower them with kisses. On recent trips to the groomer and the vet, she couldn't give everyone there enough kisses! She has a mellow, easy-going personality and loves everyone she meets. She would make an excellent Pet Therapy dog.

Ginger is very alert to everything going on both inside and outside of the house. She loves to go on walks and enjoys being outdoors. She is a smart girl and already knows basic commands (sit, shake hands, lay down, roll over, stay, give me kisses, wait, etc.). She is housebroken and has been an excellent houseguest.

Ginger LOVES children and will do extremely well in a home with children, including very young ones. She would do very well as the only dog in the family; however, she would also do well in a home with a doggie companion to romp around with. However, she may want to be the “alpha” dog. She probably would not do well in a home with a cat since she likes to chase them!

Ginger loves to go on car rides and is a very good traveler.

Ginger is an awesome dog with all the right qualities that a family would want in a dog!

Petey - Petey was a stray that was turned over to us by Round Rock animal Control.  He was found wandering and it appeared he had been hit  by a car.  It doesn’t appear that he has any broken bones but is quite sore from whatever happened to him.  Petey is a 1 ½ to 2 year old male sheltie, his coloring is called Color Headed White.  He is 18 inches tall and weighs 34 pounds.  He is currently intact but will be neutered shortly.  Petey is up to date on all of his vaccinations but is heartworm positive and will have to go thru treatment.  Petey should be available for adoption in January or February of 2010.

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 months, and has really developed into a happy 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 is making slow progress, allowing  you to come up slowly to pet her.  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 had surgery on her hip in early June, and has recovered nicely.  The foster family that is taking care of her now feel she would do very well in a home with other dogs.
