Story
Introducing Auburn! Auburn is a beautiful Cattle Dog / Heeler mix who is approximately 3 years old and currently weighs 30 pounds. We rescued this gorgeous gal from the Hondo, TX shelter and although we don’t really know much bout he background, it is clear that people have not always been very kind to her. During her spay surgery, our vet discovered that she had been shot in the leg with a pellet gun. All of that is behind her now and we are excited to help this sweet girl find the loving home she deserves. Auburn is a gentle and curious. She needs someone who will go slow with her so that she can feel comfortable knowing that she will be treated kindly. Once she feels safe, she loves getting attention and affection. She gets along well with the other dogs in her playgroup and is happy and playful! With patience and lots of love we know Auburn will blossom and become a wonderful, loving companion to her new family. She is just waiting for that special person to understand her! She has a heart of gold and shows ZERO aggression of any kind. Sweet, submissive and needs one on one time and love, that we cannot give her here at the rescue. Auburn is located at our rescue in Hondo, Texas. She is spayed, up to date on all shots, microchipped and her adoption fee is $325. She is available for a meet and greet with an approved application. Auburn tested positive for Chagas disease and has started her treatment. This is completely curable after treatment and dogs can go on to live long and happy lives. Our rescue is one of the first to do Chagas testing for all of the dogs in our care and is having measurable success in the treatment protocol. We are also focused on continued education and awareness of Chagas to help even more dogs.

Story
Lyrica: 17 Pounds of Pure Love Lyrica is a curly‑tailed Puggle sweetie who steals hearts everywhere she goes. At just 17 pounds, she’s the perfect little companion. She is small enough to scoop up, big enough to fill your life with joy. Her expressive eyes and gentle nature make her impossible not to adore. Rescued by a private rescuer in the Rio Grande Valley, Lyrica has left her rough start behind and is ready for a brighter future. She’s wonderful with other dogs and loves being part of the action, whether that’s playtime, cuddle time, or simply hanging out by your side. Lyrica is heartworm positive, but don’t let that scare you — she will be fully treated before adoption, and she’s expected to do beautifully. What she needs now is a family who will give her the love and stability she’s always deserved. If you’re looking for a small, loving, curly‑tailed companion who’s ready for her forever home, Lyrica is waiting to meet you. Lyrica is located in Hondo, Texas.

Story
Quarantine up July 16th, 2026 Meet Twinkie! ❤️ Twinkie is an adorable 10-pound Chihuahua with the sweetest personality you could ask for. She came to us from a shelter in deep South Texas with a severely injured eye that had to be removed, but that hasn’t slowed her down one bit. At around four years old, Twinkie is gentle, loving, and gets along beautifully with other dogs. She has a kind, easygoing nature, and I can truly see her fitting into just about any family—whether you have children, other dogs, or you’re simply looking for a loyal little companion. Twinkie is currently located in Hondo, Texas, but we do transport! Be sure to check the transport schedule on our website—we may already have a trip planned near you. Twinkie tested positive for Chagas but please do to let that scare you. She is doing great on treatment and the app cost is $30 per month for every 20 lbs of dog weight so not much at all. If you have a Costco near-by.... that's all you need. You can find out more about this on our website or copying and pasting the below links into your browser. If you’d like to see additional videos of sweet Twinkie, just let us know. We’d be happy to share more of this precious little girl with you. Learn more about our rescue here: https://www.facebook.com/TracysPawsRescue Every dog adopted through Tracy’s Paws receives: • Chagas, heartworm, and tick testing (when age-appropriate) • All core vaccines (age-appropriate) • Heartworm and flea/tick preventatives • Regular Deworming • Spay/neuter surgery • Microchip Breed and age listings are our best guess, based on appearance. Whether you're adopting from us or anywhere in the southern states, please familiarize yourself with Chagas disease. It's endemic in the south.

Story
Meet Rags! 🐾 Rags is approximately two years old, weighs about 13 pounds, and we believe he is a Maltipoo. And truly… he is one of the nicest little dogs you could ever hope to meet. Rags is friendly with everyone and simply cannot get close enough to people. If you’re touching him, he’s about as happy as he can be! He loves people, gets along beautifully with other dogs, and we can see him fitting into just about any family setting… dogs, cats, kids… Rags just wants someone to love. Rags came to us from deep South Texas, and it’s obvious he wasn’t very well cared for before finding his way to Tracy’s Paws. Like so many dogs from this area, he’s had a lot to overcome. He was treated for heartworm disease and also tested positive for Chagas. He is currently being treated and is doing great on his treatment. Chagas is completely curable and there is more information below... or you can visit our website. Despite everything he’s been through, you simply won’t find a nicer little dog. ❤️ If you’d like to see additional pictures or videos of Rags playing with his group, just let us know! ❤️If you’d like to make this sweet dog part of your family, please review our adoption process and complete an application here: https://www.tracyspawsrescue.org/adopt Learn more about our rescue here: https://www.facebook.com/TracysPawsRescue Every dog adopted through Tracy’s Paws receives: • Chagas, heartworm, and tick testing (when age-appropriate) • All core vaccines (age-appropriate) • Heartworm and flea/tick preventatives • Regular Deworming • Spay/neuter surgery • Microchip Breed and age listings are our best guess, based on appearance.

Story
Say hello to Dakota! This beautiful girl loves running in our play yards, lounging in the dog pools, and belly rubs. She was adopted out but has come back to BAHS by no fault of her or the adopters. We have now learned the type of home that will be the best fit for Dakota. She needs to be in a very calm environment with only 1-2 people and no cats. Dakota also needs plenty of time to learn to trust, so she will need everyone in her future family to visit her for a few months before going home. Once this gorgeous girl gets to know you, she has plenty of love to give. Dakota is a Lab mix and was born on 11/7/2015. She is spayed, microchipped, current on all vaccinations, and takes preventive flea/tick/heartworm medicine. As with all of our dogs, Dakota must be an indoor dog. If you are interested in meeting Dakota, please email bahshelter@yahoo.com. If there are other dogs in your home, we require a meet and greet, which you can schedule via email at bahshelter@yahoo.com. If you cannot attend your scheduled visit, kindly text or call the volunteer you are meeting with before your scheduled visit. They are taking time out of their day to meet with you. Thank you!
