Bandit (was Boots) is a young energetic boy who came to us from a family in San Antonio who did not have time for him. He is a very handsome sable and white neutered male who is appx 19 inches tall and weighs 25 pounds. He is 20 months old. He has been brought up-to-date on all his vaccinations, is heartworm negative, and is currently on heartworm preventative.
Bandit is a very smart dog who is a quick learner. He has had some obedience training and responds to several commands. He walks very well on a leash and enjoys his long walks outdoors where he is curious about everything. He has quite a personality and will make you laugh with his antics and inquisitiveness. He is crate-trained; however, he will play a game of chase with you before he goes in his crate.
Bandit loves to play fetch with his toys and also likes to romp and play with the dogs at his foster home. Since he is a tall sheltie, he has a beautiful long stride when he runs.
Since Bandit has so much energy, it is important that his new family have time to exercise him daily and include him in their activities. He would enjoy a large yard to run around in and to play ball. He would do well with children who could keep him busy and active. Since he gets along with the dogs in his foster home, he would do well in a home with other dogs. However, he also likes alot of attention, so he would also do well as the only dog.
Bandit is reserved when he first meets you and may bark at you; however, he will warm up to you quickly. He will definitely warn you if there are strangers outside or near your home.

Deke is a sweet boy who was rescued, along with Kyle, from a bad situation outside of San Antonio. He is a very handsome sable and white neutered sheltie who is 16 inches tall and weighs 27 pounds. He is appx 4 years old. He has been brought up-to-date on all his vaccinations. Unfortunately, he tested positive for heartworms and is currently going thru the heartworm treatment. He should be ready for adoption in mid-October.
Deke has adjusted very well in his foster home after going through a stressful situation of being rescued from an environment where he lived outdoors in a pen.
Deke has been busy learning about life in his new world of freedom. First, he had to learn how to eat out of a bowl. He was not housebroken; however, he has made very good progress on this. He has learned to walk well on a leash and was enjoying his daily walks until his heartworm treatment started. He has also learned that it is fun to go on car rides. He is a very lovable dog and quickly learned to enjoy hugs and kisses from humans!
Deke is a very well-behaved, quiet, and mellow dog. One of his favorite things to do is to sleep under the desk on a big fluffy doggie cushion while his foster mom works on the computer.
Since Deke did not have much human interaction before, he is still shy and reserved when new people come his house. However, he warms up quickly once he gets to know you.
Deke would do very well in a home with other dogs or cats, preferably non-aggressive ones. He gets along very well with his foster “brothers” as well as other dogs who come to visit. Since he is not aggressive, he will probably also do well with cats. He is ok with older children; however, we are not sure if he would do well in a home with young children.
Deke is such a sweetheart and is going to make a wonderful and loving companion for some lucky person/family out there!
Adopted November 2009

Shadow is a very sweet girl who came to our group from a backyard breeder. She is a small bi-black sheltie who is 14 inches tall and weighs 20 pounds. She is appx 8 -10 years old. She has a few white markings, including a spot of white on the very tip of her tail, and white eyelashes! She is up-to-date on all her shots. She is heartworm negative and is on heartworm preventative. Shortly after coming into our rescue program, she was spayed, had a hernia repaired, and had a dental cleaning.
Shadow has adjusted very well to her new foster home after going through a stressful situation of being rescued from an environment where she was neglected, but not abused. Her thick coat was so matted that she had to be shaved. However, her hair has grown back and she is now a beautiful dog with a shiny and thick black coat.
Immediately after arriving at her foster home, it was discovered that she is deaf. But she is a fast learner, and will come to you with a hand signal. She could quickly learn other hand commands.
Shadow is housebroken and does not jump on any of the furniture in the house. She walks well on a leash.
Shadow is a very well-behaved, laid-back, and quiet dog (not a barker). She is very lovable and enjoys attention and will paw at you to be petted. She is not aggressive and gets along very well with dogs and cats. She is also friendly with all people and seems to enjoy children…..especially younger ones.
Shadow would probably do best in a home with other dogs since she seems to enjoy being part of the ‘pack’! In reality, she probably relies on the other dogs to do her hearing for her.
After what this little angel has been through before being rescued, Shadow certainly deserves to be given a second chance in life in a wonderful loving home.
