Listed: 04/08/2013 Hottie-- IS ADOPTED!!!!!! Sex: Female Age: 2 Years Coat: Rough, Black & White Weight: 28 lbs. Activity Level:  Active Companion     Listed: 02/19/2013 Jack Sex: Male Age: 2 Years Coat: Semi-rough, Black & White Weight: 32 lbs. Activity Level:  Active Companion   As the name implies, we are a rescue out of Mexico. Please go to our website to learn more about SAMM and our mission to stop the suffering of homeless street dogs. Jack was rescued after being hit by a car. He had an initial surgery to repair his pelvis and reset his hind leg. Unfortunately, he never regained use of the leg and it atrophied and the paw became raw and infected. A second surgery was performed to removed the leg. So, Jackie is a tripod. He gets around better now than when he still had the leg but no use of it. He is a typical Border Collie - almost too smart for his own good. He wants to inspect everything you are doing, he wants to herd and protect his flock/people, he does not understand or care about 'tone of voice' correction, he does respond extremely well to food based rewards. Jack loves to play with a tennis ball and will retrieve and will play alone with the ball. He will be fine with older, respectful children and LOVES and needs another dog to play with. Jack is also good with cats. He is neutered, fully vaccinated, and dewormed. We estimate Jack to be about 1 1/2 years old. This dog is currently in foster in Mexico and will be until foster/adoption and transport arrangements can be made to Texas. If you are interested in Saving A Mexican Mutt you can submit an online application from our website. To get more info, EMAIL. Here is a link to a video of him playing fetch on YouTube   Listed: 06/08/2010 Hank Sex: Male Age: 2 Years Coat: Smooth, Black & White Weight: 72 lbs. Activity Level:  Active Companion   HANDSOME HANK is what we call him around here, and we sure think his name suits him!! He's current on his vaccinations, neutered, and has been taking monthly heartworm preventative since he was 3 months old. Hank and his siblings were rescued as tiny pups during the hot Texas summer with temperatures reaching 106 degrees. They were all brought to safety and have been in foster care awaiting adoption ever since. A poor economy has slowed adoption rates nationwide, but Hank's still hopeful.... he knows his day will come. Hank is a very striking boy. He's black with beautiful white stockings on his front and back feet. He also has a gorgeous white blaze on his chin and chest, and white on the very tip of his always wagging tail!! Everywhere we go, people comment on his rugged good looks... perhaps he's the George Clooney of the dog world. Hank is still a young dog that's ready to make his mark on the world. He's quite smart and soooo eager to please. Hank enjoys playing chase with his brothers and retrieving his favorite ball. In the afternoons, Hank and his brothers enjoy a leisurely game of good old fashioned "fetch". One toss of the ball and they're all running to see who can get to it first. When Hank gets the ball, he very quickly brings it back to you in hopes that you'll continue to toss it for them. He seems to never tire of the competition, however he's always a good sport. Hank also enjoys going for walks and taking in the view. Be careful though, he's quite strong!! Hank uses a doggie door and enjoys the freedom of being both inside and outside. He's used to sleeping in his crate at night, along with his favorite bone stuffed with cheese. Hank gets along great with people of all ages and other dogs, so he's hopeful that one day he'll finally get that FOREVER HOME he so deserves!! Hank and Dakota (listed above) are brothers.   To audition to meet Hank or for any questions about our adoption process, please contact Project Pawz at (903) 874-3722 or via EMAIL.   Check out all the dogs available for adoption by Project Pawz.   Listed: 06/08/2010 Dakota Sex: Male Age: 2 Years Coat: Smooth, Black & White Weight: 65 lbs. Activity Level:  Active Companion   Dakota is from a large litter of mostly boys. He is completely vaccinated and he's neutered. He's also been taking monthly heartworm preventative since he was 3 months old. Dakota has the most adorable personality ever!!! With so much charm and good looks, he's sure to catch someone's eye.... if only it would happen soon. You see, Dakota has been in foster care since he was just under 6 weeks old. A slow economy coupled with the fact that he's a big, black dog have all worked against Dakota and his brothers. Take a few minutes to google "big black dog syndrome" and learn the plight of these often overlooked dogs. The statistics of black dogs being euthanized in shelters across America are staggering. Black dogs just don't get adopted, plain and simple. Dakota is quite the scholar. He learns things quickly and makes sure the rest of us stick to the routine. He mastered the doggie door in an instant and helped us teach everybody else how to use it. He loves it because he really enjoys playing in the backyard, but comes back inside when he's ready for a nap or a treat. He loves to go for walks and meet new people. Dakota sleeps in his crate at night and likes to have his bone in there with him too, especially if it has a little cheese in it!! To say that Dakota is the lively one of the bunch may be an understatement. As a pup, he'd wait until everyone else was settled in for a nap and then he'd decide to march on top of the dog pile and methodically choose whose ears to pull or whose tail to tug. It was simply sport to him!! And rest assured, he still has that same playful nature. Dakota is a happy dog and loves the company of people of all ages and also other dogs. If you're looking for a shy dog, Dakota's not for you. But if you want a playful, smart and devoted friend, he's a great choice. Dakota won't disappoint! Dakota and Hank (listed below) are brothers.   If you'd like to schedule an appointment to meet Dakota, please contact Project Pawz at 903-874-3722 or via EMAIL.   Check out all the dogs available for adoption by Project Pawz.
