Activity
Level: Active Companion
Tippy is a three year old Border Collie/Australian
Shepherd mix who came into rescue as an owner surrender at a Houston
shelter. Her foster mom can't figure out why anyone would have
relinquished this wonderful dog. She gets along well with other dogs
of all sizes and has also tested well with cats. She knows sit,
down, and give paw. She walks well on leash, sits politely for
petting, and responds quickly when called in from the yard.
Tippy loves to be with her people and will follow
you around the house, but has enough sense to stay out from under
foot while doing so. She gets very excited to see her people when
they have been gone a while. She is house trained, crate trained and
rides well in the car. She would love a home where someone would
spend time training her as she loves to learn new things. Her foster
mom has introduced her to agility on a limited basis and she was
very excited about that. She would make a great dog for someone
wanting to try out this activity.
Although she is eager to get out and do things with
her family, she is also content to relax around the house. She loves
to play tug (with humans or canines) and will also play chase with
the other dogs from time to time. Tippy is well behaved in the
house, although she is still learning that some things are not toys
for her to play with.
She also gets along well with people of all ages.
Although sometimes reserved in new situations, she adapts quickly,
and once she is comfortable, she is out-going. Tippy is on the soft,
submissive side, so a home who understands this would be best. Even
though she gets along well with young children a home with older
children or adults only would be preferred. Even the slightest
raised voice will bring out her submissive side so she needs a home
that will engage her in new activities to help her continue to build
her self confidence.
Tippy is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and is
on heartworm preventive.
If you’d like to get more information about Tippy,
please contact her foster mom at
BCRT
or if you think she is the one for you please fill out the

Adoption Application. Tippy is being fostered in the San Antonio
area.

Level: Active Companion
Josie is a Border Collie mix “Princess” who was
rescued in July. She is a great active companion dog and wants to be
your number one dog.
She gets along well with her foster brother, Buddy,
and foster sister, Muffin, but she prefers the company of humans.
She loves to run and requires daily exercise. She would be great
with someone who runs or is a dedicated walker and has a park close
by. She loves to hang out with you while you watch TV, do yard work
or work from home.
She is reliable off leash at the park, knows basic
commands such as sit, down, heel, come, and will stay. She has been
exposed to children and cats, and has done well, but she should
always be closely supervised in new situations. Homes with children
under 10 will not be considered.
Josie has a go-along get-along personality and will
follow your direction. Squirrels are open season and she’s done a
great job helping Buddy keep them out of the garden.
Josie has come a long way since July and will
continue to grow in the right environment. She does not travel well
in the car and needs help dealing with new experiences. Someone who
has the time, love and patience to help her continue to build
confidence will be rewarded with a fabulous companion.
Josie has been through heartworm treatment, is on
heartworm preventative, has been microchipped, is up to date on all
shots and has been spayed.
Josie is being fostered in Ft. Worth and is looking
for a home in the Metroplex. If you feel Josie is the girl for you,

Age: 1-2 years

Coat:
Smooth Coat, Red & White

Weight: 24 lbs.

Activity
Level: Active Companion/Sports Competitor
There’s nothing
that can keep this little girl down! Ruby has survived distemper,
heartworms, air under the skin, and a hole in her trachea. (You can
read her full story on her
WEBPAGE.)
After nearly seven months of rest and recovery, Ruby has been given
a clean bill of health and is finally ready to find her forever
home.
Ruby does everything with gusto. If she’s knocked down, she springs
right back up. Her tug-o-war skills challenge the strongest
competitors. Her front leg may still twitch due to damage caused by
distemper, but this sure doesn’t stop her in any way. She loves to
run – fast – and can turn on a dime. In short, Ruby is a fireball
with loads of energy and spunk. But, once she’s had the chance to
burn off some of her energy, she’s happy to squeak her toys, chew
her bone, or even just watch you do your chores.
Ruby turns heads with her striking looks, but it’s her ability to
capture your heart that truly makes her a special dog. Even when she
was very sick, she always remained good-natured and cheerful to
everyone, vets included. Wherever we go Ruby always “works the
room.” She joyfully wanders from person to person, greeting everyone
as if they were old friends. She’ll politely say hello and then
wastes no time passing out kisses and requesting belly rubs. Ruby
shows great potential for therapy dog work as she has yet to meet
stranger.
Ruby is also very smart and adores training time with you. She has
attended a basic training class so she has a solid foundation in
basic manners like sit, down, leave it, wait at the door, stay, come
when called, sit for petting, and walking nicely on a leash. Because
she’s smart, Ruby is quick to learn what “works” and will quickly
repeat habits she finds most rewarding -- the good ones and the
not-so-good ones. It’s important that her new home will continue to
give her the structure and training she needs to continue to be a
well-mannered family member.
Ruby is spayed, up-to-date on vaccinations, housetrained and
crate-trained. Her hips have been x-rayed and are in good shape for
all sports. She does not live with cats, but has been tested with
dog-savvy cats and was easily called off. She loves to play with
other dogs and does fine with the dogs in her foster home, but her
play style is rather rude and rough, so there are many dogs that do
not enjoy her company. She tends to be far sweeter and calmer at
home when there are no other dogs to constantly wrestle and chase,
so she’d probably best as an only dog.
If you would like to find out more about this special gem, contact
her foster mom at
BCRT.
If you think Ruby is the one for you, please fill out the
BCRT
Adoption Application.

I'm a ace foot warmer.
I have been treated for heartworms
and have been declared clear. I am house trained and have perfect
table and house manners. I would never jump up on a counter or a
person. In addition to all of the above qualities I am also up to
