Special Shelties

Sometimes we have dogs that cannot be adopted due to major medical issues or advanced age complicated by medical issues. We keep them in permanent foster care as special care shelties as long as they need us.


Zippy – Zippy was an owner surrender to the Lockhart Animal Shelter.  He is 12 years old, 16 inches tall, and weighs 25 pounds.  Zippy is up to date on all of his vaccinations and is on heartworm preventative.  When we tested Zippy we found that he is heartworm positive, which means he will have to go thru the treatment when we get him back on the road to good health. Zippy is housetrained and loves to go places, loves riding in the truck, can be seen frequenting Home Depot and doing clean-up work on the deck at Opal Divine’s.
