My story

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

Texas Tornado has opened applications for a new leash holder. Inquire within. 



Well folks, Texas Tornado, the deaf, white border collie, with an estimated birthdate of 09/23/2023 and weight of 40lbs is here to display what it would be like if that last sniff of c0caine became sentient and chugged a monster. 



Let's start with the cons. She's bad a$$ so there's only a few. 



DEAF. Big Deaf. No sounds entering the brain. Only vibes. 



Not cat and critter safe. 



Has manageable OCD tendencies. Intermittently stares at the space where the wall meets the floor for as long as she is allowed if nothing more exciting is going on. Accepts behavior interruption with a spray bottle or low level ecollar correction, and will choose a chewie over staring if one is offered as an alternative. 



Now for the pros. Buckle in.



High ball and prey drive. 



Crate, leash, house, car trained. (Rides tethered in the car) 



Spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and dewormed. 



Excellent social skills with dogs and kids. 



Knows basic commands with hand signals. Sit, stay/wait, come, good etc. 



Off lead reliable in rural settings. 



Comes with an AKC Canine Partners number to be able to participate in AKC sanctioned dogsport trials. 



Ran a 2.2 mile two dog bikejor in 13:50 on her first ever attempt. 4th place in trial. 



Completed 2/2 lure courses at her first coursing trial and only needs 1 more successful course to earn her CA (Coursing Ability) title. 



Excellent mountain biking companion, effortlessly running 15-20 miles in one sitting. 



Non destructive in the home, safe to be left crated or loose in the day or night. 



Lovely, intense natural herding aptitude. Could work as a functional cattle dog with a handler able to train with a low level ecollar or vibrational collar. 



Capable of much, much more than has already been done with her. She is sure to excel at any task or activity involving speed, dexterity, and intelligence. 



Adoption fee is 2øø and includes a leash, collar, ID tag, food sample, medical records, and complimentary consultation with a behaviorist to help both parties ace the new partnership. 



Texas Tornado, AKA Tex, is eligible to be transported anywhere in the USA or Canada to a future handler who will give her an active and involved life like she has now. She would be happy with a sport or working life, or as an active pet to a family who will let her be included for major adventures like biking, backpacking, ultra running etc. There's simply too many good things to say about her and she deserves the absolute best future. To be considered to adopt, please begin by visiting www.murcismission.org and sending in an application.

More about this rescue

From the day we could talk we told our pets more than we ever told our parents. We took the long route to see the kitty in the window down the street. We stopped even when we were late to pet the dog. We grew up and we saw what the world does to those who can't defend themselves. We are here to change that.

Ethical rescue, including fully vetting every animal and carefully placing them all into homes matched to their physical and mental needs is what we do.

Respecting all life, both animal and human, while retaining an underlying goal of keeping animals in their homes. and fostering a sense of community between local shelters and rescues is how we do it.
