Lady - Lady was an owner surrender to an animal shelter in a nearby town. She is about a year old, spayed, up to date on all of her vaccinations, is heartworm negative and is on heartworm preventative. Lady is 16 inches tall and weighs about 19 pounds. Lady is an active puppy who loves to play, she gets along with other dogs and small children. It appears that in her former life Lady was left in the backyard with very little human interaction. When she first came to us she was quite skittish but has settled down and is learning to enjoy human attention. Her foster mom says she is successfully crate trained and is working on house breaking and learning to walk on a leash. Please keep checking for updates on this sweet little girl.

Peaches - Peaches came in to us from Round Rock Animal Control. She is a spayed sable and white sheltie who is about 7 years old. Peaches came in with skin and ear problems, hookworms and her toenails that curled back into her feet. This is all as a result of poor care in her former home. She is being treated for the yeast infections and hookworms and will have a gorgeous glorious coat when it all grows back. Peaches is up to date on all of her vaccinations, she is heartworm negative and on heartworm preventative. She stands about 16 inches tall and is overweight at 38 pounds. Peaches let her rescuer know that she was so grateful for being rescued and would be ever so happy to walk out to the car.

Chevy - Chevy came to us just after Thanksgiving from a shelter in Temple.  Chevy had been turned in to the shelter as they were moving out of town.  Chevy is 7 years old, he was born in March of 2002.  Chevy is either a tri-colored sheltie with a badly burned coat or a mahogany sable.  He stands about 16 inches tall and weighs 35 pounds.  He is now up to date on all of his vaccinations and has been neutered.  He came to us with heartworms, kennel cough and hookworms.  He has been treated for the hookworms and the kennel cough and will soon start the painful heartworm treatment.  Chevy is very shy at first but once he gets to know you he is a love sponge that adores attention.  He likes to play ball and he gets along well with other dogs.  Chevy won’t be available until the latter part of March, 2010.

Magic (was Judge) - Magic is a handsome bi-black sheltie who was left in the overnight box at the shelter in Brownwood, Texas with a note that said the family was moving. He is a 1-2 year old male who weighs 25 pounds and is about 16 inches tall. He is a healthy boy and has been neutered and brought up-to-date on all vaccinations. He is heartworm negative and on heartworm preventative.

Magic is housebroken and does very well in the house. He loves to 'shadow' his human companions, so expect him to be wherever you are in the house. He has a sweet and mellow disposition and is exuberant and loving with everyone he meets!! Magic enjoys his walks and does very well on a leash. He is a fast learner and has already learned some basic commands like sit, wait, and shake hands. He is a very happy, energetic dog who loves to play either with the resident shelties or with toys. He would do very well in a home with other dogs. He would probably also do well as an only dog; but he might get bored if left alone all day.

Magic has not been 'tested' with children; but since he is so friendly, he would probably do well with them. He has not been around cats, so we are not sure how he would react to them. Magic loves to go on car rides and is an excellent rider. Magic is going to be an excellent companion for a lucky family out there!

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!

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.
