My story

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

Please contact Tonya Griffith (TMSGriffith@aol.com) for more information about this pet.

COURTESY POSTING ON 8/15/2025 FOR JULIA SELLERS - PLEASE CONTACT JULIA AT 817-879-5695, juliasellers1975@gmail.com.

From Julia: 'Found two puppies near Arp, TX on June 27, 2025. There are no micro-chips, as of 7/1/25 got first vaccination, dewormer, flea and tick medicine, estimated to be 3 months old, Lucky weighs 22.1 pounds, and Piper weighs 21.6 pounds, and will probably get to be 50-60 pounds full grown. The puppies will come with toys of their own (a couple of small balls and a few chew bones), collars, and a bed. There's no telling how long they were wandering on our 40 acres. They were really skinny. Vet told me they are 'brown dogs' - mutt mixture, and without DNA test could not begin to list the mixture. They know sit, stay, give paw, come, and working on lay down and leash training. They do not like our cat. They are the most loving puppies I have ever known. They crave attention and love. It is easy to tell that Piper is the top dog of the two.'

$50 adoption fee to help cover vet costs so far that were over $200.

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.
