My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

COURTESY POSTING FOR Alyssa Crenshaw in Frankston, TX, crengirl@gmail.com, 612-237-7964.
 
'This dog showed up to our home the first week of March 2022, and started seeking shelter under our RV on the side of our home.  He was starving and shaking in the cold, so we began feeding him, and providing fresh water.  My boys have been calling him Rambo because they say he is a tough survivor, and he absolutely LOVES our children!!!  He is extremely well mannered, sits on command, and retrieves a ball or toy.  We already have 4 dogs, and are not allowed to keep him due to neighborhood restrictions.  He is young with puppy like energy, very sweet, loves people, and plays well with the neighbor's small pug mix dog; even shared his food bowl with her.  It seems like he may have been allowed inside a home before, so he is possibly house trained.  He is not neutered.  We gave him a flea and tick dewormer pill.'

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

It depends on who has the pet. We don't advertise our address to keep people from dumping animals on our road anymore than they usually do, especially since this is also where we live. I like to visit with a person on the phone first before letting them come meet the pet.

More about this rescue

This is a small animal rescue for cats and dogs. I have several foster homes in various areas, and I also do courtesy postings for people who need help finding a home for their pet, which is about 80% successful. The pet doesn't have to enter a rescue or shelter and the owner is contacted, so they decide who their pet goes to. If a person can't send me pictures, and they don't live too far away, I will go and videotape the pet myself to place pictures on the internet, or have a volunteer get the pictures. There have been a few pets that haven't been able to find a home through this service, but it depends on what the pet is and who is looking on the internet. When we have space available we take transfers from a local kill animal shelter. We also step in and help people who find themselves with multiple animals and no way to pay to get them fixed. Usually I will get all the females fixed to get their circumstances under control, and in some cases I will also help with donated food when I have extra. If they want to find homes for some of the many pets they have accumulated, then I will place their pictures on the internet for them. We don't euthanize unless a pet is seriously ill.
