Ace is looking for his forever home still!

Ace is a currently in the care of Paws in the City, but is still looking for a foster or forever home! He is a sweet dog but needs to be the only pet in the household. Ace likes to play but is also perfectly fine laying next to your feet in whatever room you choose. He loves affection and being near people. Ace is currently in boarding until we can find a foster home that suits his needs. While boarding is better than the shelter the environment is pretty similar. Being in a foster home would help Ace be more social and help him adjust to a non-shelter setting, making him much more adoptable. If you are considering fostering and do not have other animals in your home, please contact Jim with Paws in the City at jim@jlttransport.com. Ace is great dog looking for his second chance to enjoy life. Will you help him?

Odee Needs a New Family, FAST.

Odee was found by his rescuers running around their neighborhood in May of 2008. After weeks of looking for his owners, they gave up. Odee had several health issues and scars on his body, which led his rescuers to believe it was in Odee's best interest to not find the orignial owner. His kind foster family took care of his neuter and has kept him current on all vaccines. 

Odee's foster family quickly noticed a problem between their original dog, Marley and Odee. Marley does not like Odee and large, male dogs in general, so fostering Odee has become difficult. He is currently living on the foster family's back porch with access to the yard to keep Odee away from Marley. 

Odee has been adopted and returned to his foster family twice. The first adoption failed because of reasons related to the owner's job. The second adoption failed after about three hours because the new owners felt Odee had scared one of their cats. Odee's foster family has never seen Odee display aggressive behavior towards cats and even co-habitated with a feral cat in their backyard very peacefully.

Odee cut his paw earlier this week, so he has a bandage over his sutures that must stay clean until healed. He is also wearing an E-Collar to keep him from licking his wound and bandage. Whoever can foster or adopt Odee will need to be mindful of this and take him to the vet for follow up in a few weeks. 

Odee is a boxer/mastiff mix, neutered, fully vetted and healthy. He is not dog aggressive and loves other dogs. He is also okay with cats and children. 

Odee's current foster family needs your help finding a new foster. They can no longer care for him because of Marley's dislike for him and their financial situation. They have two very young children and keeping Odee and Marley separated has become tasking. This family does not want to take Odee to the shelter as they are aware of the short time animals have to get adopted before they are euthanized. 

PLEASE help them find Odee's new foster home. You can contact Tina at 214.417.2314 or Rick at 214.893.7425.  

Sisters Need Home- ADOPTED!

The lady who rescued these two pups could not keep them in her apartment any longer. She put up flyers, and contacted some shelters to see if anyone had inquired but no luck. With her small place and already having animals, she felt it was not fair to keep them cooped up and she did not want to risk getting in trouble with the complex management, so right now they are with me and my pack. 

They are two females, not spayed as far as we know, and no telling on shots since there is no information, so all this would be the responsibility of the new owners.   The little min pin is totally devoted to the Aussie mix, she follows her, lays with her, and looks to her before she makes a move. My pack has sort of overwhelmed them but they are adjusting. There is no fee for these two, as they were rescued from running the street, and there will be enough money for the right person to make sure they are healthy and fixed, but they must go together, I know that is a lot for anyone but if you see them together you will know why.  Right now they are no names, so I have called them Baby girl and Lady for the Min Pin. They are really sweet, if you know anyone with any youngsters, the shep mix would be wonderful.  So one for the kids and one for the adults.  Please ask yourself, can I? Ask a friend, can you?

Baby Girl and Lady were both adopted and have great families with kiddos to play with now! They are happy to be in their forever homes!

Bruno & Bailey, a Story About Second Chances

Bruno was found searching for adventure on the streets of Carrollton, TX when he was picked up by animal services. Like too many animals, Bruno was at the shelter for several weeks and had not been adopted. He was ultimately placed in line to be euthanized if not adopted. Fortunately for Bruno, a Paws in the City volunteer came to his rescue and he was moved from the shelter before his time was up. Bruno was placed in a foster home and patiently awaited the day he could find his forever home.

Lucky Bruno did not have to wait long! After he attended a few adoption events, a young lady named Bailey immediately fell in love with our Bruno. Deciding she was serious about adopting him, she brought her parents back to the adoption event to meet Bruno. Bailey eventually explained to us that she has cancer and her Make-A-Wish wish was to rescue a homeless dog. How amazing is it that someone who could have any wish come true simply wants to save an animal's life?

Bailey has been cancer free for 3 months now but is still undergoing pain management treatments. We will continue to pray for her full recovery and that she will live a long healthy life with her new best friend, Bruno!  This truly is special story about a dog and a person who get to share their second chance at life together!

Bailey & Bruno!
