My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

We originally rescued June along with her littermates back in 2019 when they were all just cute little puppies. It was believed that the parents were probably some mix of Great Pyrenees, Anatolian Shepherd, and possibly Akbash. June and her sister Tanya Tucker look very much like Akbash dogs, while three others look like Great Pyrenees and two more look like Anatolians. We can't say for sure what's in their DNA, except June is 100% good girl.

June was adopted as a puppy and grew up on a cattle ranch. She was happy in that life, but when her family sold the cattle and moved into the city, she was NOT so happy. She dug under the fence multiple times, and the family was worried that she could get hit by a car in their suburban neighborhood. So with sadness, they brought her back to us. Here, June has seemed very happy in the house. We're not sure whether it was just the noise of the city home that bothered her, but here, she goes out into the yard for potty business and then is ready to come right back inside.

June is OK around other dogs but doesn't really seem interested in playing with them or even making friends among them. There were cats and small children (age 3 and under) in her previous home and she was fine with them. In the few weeks that June has been back at Windsong Ranch, we see that she is sweet and sensitive and extremely affectionate with people. She wants to be close to us, whether that's curled up napping on the floor next to the desk as we work, or snuggling with us on the sofa at the end of the day. June freely goes into a crate for meal times and overnight -- she seems to view the crate as a quiet space away from the hectic activity of our home, which is filled with dogs and puppies. We think June would be perfectly happy as an only dog, but she has lived in peace with other dogs for literally her entire life.

If June sounds like the perfect addition to your family, please complete the application on our website today!

Their adoption process

1.

Submit Application

Our application to foster or adopt is on our website at www.bluebonnetrescue.org.

2.

Approve Application

Our application process usually includes a vet/reference check, plus landlord check if you rent.

3.

Home Check

One of our volunteers will meet you at your home to verify that you have secure fencing and a safe place for one of our dogs to live.

4.

Meet the Pet

We typically arrange a meet & greet at Windsong Ranch in Whitewright TX and invite you to bring your dog/s with you.

Additional adoption info

Our adoption process includes an application that helps us get to know you better so we can help you make the best match. If you have pets already, we will talk with your vet's office to be sure that you are being a good guardian for these animals. The next step is a home visit, during which we will pay special attention to your fencing and the shelter you will offer to one of our dogs. Finally, once everything is approved, we will introduce you to one or more dogs. If you fall in love and the feeling is mutual, we will complete a contract.

We are an all-volunteer organization, and every one of our volunteers has a "real job" that takes up 8 or more hours a day. So please be patient when you contact us -- we'll respond to you as quickly as we can, but please don't be annoyed if it takes us 24 hours or longer.

We are based at Windsong Ranch in Whitewright, TX. This is a private, working ranch, so visits are by appointment only. We host an annual "Ranch & Rescue Day" in the fall, with a petting zoo, hay ride, and other fun activities. We are working on plans for a monthly adoption event at a local retail store, and will update this when the schedule is confirmed.

More about this rescue

Bluebonnet Animal Rescue Network (BARN) was founded in 2013 to help animals in North Texas, and especially in the Texoma area. We are a non-profit corporation, founded by people who had spent years rescuing an assortment of animals -- from a vulture with a broken wing to feral cats to dogs who were dumped in our rural area. We fostered for another organization for a few years before forming BARN. We are not breed-specific in our rescue efforts, but we have a fair amount of experience with Great Pyrenees and a few other livestock guardian breeds.

We are always looking for more volunteers, including foster homes. And of course, as a non-profit organization, we always appreciate donations of time, services, dollars, and supplies. We usually have a LOT of big dogs in foster, and grooming appointments are expensive, so we are especially glad to have volunteers help us with this task. We would also be glad to have your help spreading the word about Bluebonnet Animal Rescue -- through Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or any other social media you use. Give us a call and let us know how you would like to help!
