Sky is an awesome girl. Look at how beautiful she is!! She is house trained and crate trained. She loves to be in the house with me. She gets along with other dogs. She is spayed, Hw negative, micro chipped and good on a leash. She plays but is also calm. She is a little bit of a talker like many Huskys. I find this a wonderful quality. It is like she is talking with you when you are playing. If interested, please contact Carla at 713-444-3012 or cbennett7744@comcast.net.

Chloe is a wonderful, loving German Shepherd girl. She is about 2 1/2 years old, just under 50 pounds, spayed, HW negative and micro chipped. She is house trained and crate trained but she loves to be inside with her foster mom. She plays and gets along with other dogs and I think she would be good with children. She is also good on a leash. She is a very loving her and some times she thinks she is a lap dog. If interested please,contact Carla at 713-444-3012 or cbennett7744@comcast.net.

Amber is a beautiful, sweet & lovable 1 year old German Shepherd mix who really needs a good forever home now! She was found wandering the parking lot at PetsMart, where her owner must have dumped her off, in hopes of an animal lover finding her. She is a well tempered girl who loves to play with other dogs, chews on big ol' bones, and loves her human petting time. Amber will be a very loyal companio n to her new owner as you can see when she looks at you with those beautiful, intense amber eyes!! She seems to do best with smaller dogs of either sex or large male dogs or as a single dog. Amber has spent the past 2 months in kennels and she desperately needs a place to run daily. Please consider Amber for either adoption, or as a foster until she finds her forever home! Contact Judy at jjsjewels@sbcglobal.net.

The story of Bentley is great. Bentley was rescued during tropical storm Eduard. A volunteer walked by his kennel picking dogs to evacuate and she couldn't ignore Bentley...his whole body was wagging and he was as good as saying, with that expressive face, "what about me?", "what about me?", "pick me!" The happiest dog I know is Bentley. Bentley has a look that is very hard to look away from. He is so charismatic that once you look at him, you fall for him. I know this to be true as I have seen him do it to many people, including me. When I saw him I had to know more about him. He is so friendly, and so handsome. (Beautiful eyes). He seems to smile all the time . He walks so proud that he appears to just prance. He has a smile and a kiss for literally everyone. I have seen him light up for children; guys picking up recycling and everyone we pass as we walk. He seems to have only love in what must be a huge heart as he gives more joy than he takes. Bentley loves to go for walks, he loves to ride in the car and most of all he loves to be held and share kisses. I am so moved by this little dog with so much personality. Bentley needs to be in a place where there is lots of love to be given and received. He is house trained. He is also quite in his crate. He is an amazing dog that must be owned by amazing, responsible people. I have been with him for weeks so I can say he is the same every day. Happy, hopeful and loving. I am truly touched by his charm. It's a must that he be in a safe place that he can stay happy. (Note: Bentley is being boarded at a kennel, although the truly wonderful person who wrote the above has been spending quality time with Bentley everyday, he very much needs to be in a permanent home or a foster home. Bentley is very dog social all though he needs to be an only dog or with a non dominant female dog.) Contact Bonnie at bford@globalexponent.com.

Cuteness alert! Meet the super-seven! There are 7 litter mates (three shown here) are about 9 weeks old and will probably be medium-sized dogs when full grown, about 30lbs. Some look like Australian Shepherd mixes but some look a little like collie or sheltie mixes. They are very playful, high energy puppies and will definitely need to go to some puppy training classes when they are a little older! They also love to be held and have sweet temperaments. Contact Fran at franfoyle67@comcast.net to inquire about these puppies.

You may remember Chance from a few weeks ago....he is a neutered American Bull Terrier. Lucky for Chance, a kind foster decided to pull him from BARC minutes before he was to be put to sleep. He is now ready for his forever home! Chance is a perfect gentleman...so well mannered (no jumping, barking), great with other dogs, comes when called, sits, is house trained, not food aggressive.... really a great dog. He even let his foster mom cut his nails with no problems. Sadly, Chance has a case of heartworms that need to be treated. We are currently collecting donations for his treatment. If you can help by making a donation (or if you are interested in adoption), please contact Carla at cbennett7744@comcast.net or 713-444-3012.

The adoption fee is only $55 for any of these dogs and includes: surgery for spay/neuter, vaccinations, deworming, Home Again Microchip and 1 year city license. What a deal for a lifelong friend!!
