🐾 Meet 13 month old puppy Nick

ID #A2083551

13 month old Neutered Male White / Black Pointer Mix

Weight: 50 lbs

Intake Date: 6/30/2026

Nick came in with another dog who is at the shelter and not on the euthanasia list yet (ID #A2083550, picture in comments)

Medical Notes:

Nick is heartworm negative, has already been neutered (green line tattoo), and received his DA2PP, Bordetella, and Rabies vaccines. He has also been treated with Advantage Multi for parasite prevention. He appears physically healthy with no significant medical concerns noted.

Behavior Notes:

Nick is a frightened young dog who has been overwhelmed by the shelter environment. Since arriving, he has cowered at the back of his kennel, shaken with fear, low growled when approached, pancaked to the ground, and army crawled out of his kennel. He has had to be carried because he was simply too terrified to move on his own.

🐾 Meet 13 month old puppy Summer
ID #A2083433
13 month old Female Australian Cattle Dog Mix, Black / Brown
Weight: 40 lbs
Intake Date: 6/29/2026

Medical Notes:
Summer is heartworm negative and appears to be in good overall health. She has received her DA2PP, Bordetella, and Rabies vaccines, has been dewormed with pyrantel, and treated with Advantage Multi for parasite prevention. No significant medical concerns have been noted.

Behavior Notes:
Summer is a fearful young dog who has shut down in the shelter environment. She stays at the back of her kennel, avoids eye contact, trembles, lip licks, and keeps her tail tightly tucked. She will often pancake to the ground and has shown little interest in treats or encouragement, making it difficult for staff to move her. On multiple occasions she has needed to be carried because she was too frightened to walk.

🐾 Meet Banjo
ID #A2083553
6-year-old Male German Shepherd Mix, Black / White
Weight: 56.4 lbs
Intake Date: 6/30/2026
Banjo came in with another dog, who is not currently on the euthanasia list (ID #A2083552, picture in comments).

Medical Notes:
Banjo is heartworm positive and has mild dermatitis affecting his ears, head, chest, shoulders, and legs. A skin scrape was negative for mites, and no secondary skin infection was found. He has been treated with Advantage Multi and pyrantel dewormer, and has received his DA2PP, Bordetella, and Rabies vaccines. His skin condition is considered mild and manageable with continued care.

Behavior Notes:
Banjo is a gentle but frightened dog who appears shut down by the shelter environment. He will slowly approach when spoken to kindly and allowed time to build trust, but becomes fearful when asked to leave the kennel. He often prefers to remain curled up on his blanket and has needed gentle handling due to his fear.

Without fosters, we can't save more lives.

Every time we say "yes" to rescuing a dog, it's because someone opened their home and gave that dog a safe place to land.

Right now, we urgently need more foster families.

Across our local shelters, incredible dogs are running out of time. Many are frightened, overwhelmed, and simply need a quiet place to decompress before they can find the loving family they deserve. A foster home gives them that chance.

You don't have to make a lifetime commitment to change a life.

A few weeks in a loving home can mean the difference between fear and confidence... between a shelter kennel and a forever family... sometimes, even between life and death.

When you foster with Roxy's Ranch Haven, you're never alone. We provide veterinary care, supplies, guidance, training support, and help promote your foster dog through adoption events and social media. You provide the love, we'll help with the rest.

We're especially looking for foster families in the Bay Area and Sacramento who can assist with transportation, veterinary appointments, and adoption events in Marin and Sonoma Counties.

If you've ever thought about fostering, now is the time. One open door can save a life and make room for us to rescue another dog in desperate need.

Please don't scroll by. If you can't foster, sharing this post could help us find someone who can.

🐶 Ready to become a foster?

Apply through this link: https://roxysranchhaven.org/foster/

Together, we can give more dogs the second chance they deserve.

 

Did you know that DOZENS of animals lose their life every day simply because our municipal shelters are out of space? Some days 20 pets end up on that dreaded list, others days... it is upwards of 50.

While Houston gears up for fireworks, backyard barbecues, and pool parties, hundreds of dogs at BARC, our city shelter, are sitting on cold concrete kennel floors.

For a shelter dog, "freedom" means they aren't facing death row. Freedom means they get to live.
 
This Independence Day, you can make that happen! We are launching our 4th of July Freedom Ride Campaign to sponsor as many dog rescues from BARC’s euthanasia list as we can.
 
For just $50, you can rescue a high-risk dog that is hours away from euthanasia. When you rescue a dog through this campaign, you aren't just buying them a few days. You are starting them on a path to a brand-new life. We are fully committed to getting every single pup we rescue fully vetted, healthy, and safely transported out of state to communities where there is a high demand for adoptable pets.
 
Your $50 is the spark that starts this entire life-saving journey. As a thank you for your life-saving sponsorship, you will receive:
A personalized bio and photo of the exact dog your $50 saved.
Exclusive "Freedom Ride" photos as they get their ride out of BARC
Updates on their medical care, foster home and transport to their new home!
 
Help us give them freedom!

📝 Shelter Notes:

6/30/26: Chewy greeted staff from the back of his kennel while shaking, covered, and displaying wide whale eyes. He was easily leashed but refused to walk and immediately began pulling backward on the leash. He was left in his kennel to avoid causing additional stress.

7/1/26: Chewy presented with a tense body posture and kept his head hidden. A leash was placed on him, but he did not move. He was muzzled and moved to a new kennel.

7/2/26: Chewy displayed a tense body posture and worried facial expression. He remained pancaked and would not walk, requiring staff to muzzle and carry him outside. While waiting for his kennel to be cleaned, staff observed him begin wagging his tail and showing interest in another dog nearby. Staff were able to sit with and pet him.

🚑 Medical Notes:

• 1-year-1-month-old intact male weighing 29.6 pounds

• Heartworm negative

• No medical concerns documented

💙 Chewy appears to be experiencing shutdown behaviors in the shelter environment. Despite his fear, Chewy showed signs of social interest and began wagging his tail when exposed to another dog and gentle human interaction. He urgently needs a quiet, patient environment where he can decompress, feel safe, and regain confidence.

📝 Shelter Notes:

6/30/26: During placement on the euthanasia list, Alex was observed pancaked against the back kennel wall with a tense body, pinned ears, and whale eyes. Staff were able to place a leash over his head and attempted to comfort him with baby talk and treats, but he remained shut down. He was lightly muzzled and carried to the runs. Outside, he displayed a somewhat more relaxed posture and sniffed neighboring dogs, but largely kept to himself. Staff had to carry him back to his kennel, where he again pancaked himself against the back wall.

7/2/26: Alex tucked his head into the corner of his kennel and pulled his legs underneath himself when staff opened the kennel door. Staff slowly knelt down and offered treats, but he showed no interest. When a leash was placed on him, his body became even more tense. He was lightly muzzled and carried to a new kennel.

🚑 Medical Notes:

• 2-year-old intact male weighing 32 pounds

• Heartworm negative

• Received tranquilizer at intake

• No other medical concerns documented

💙 Alex showed some curiosity toward other dogs when outside of his kennel, suggesting there may be a social and affectionate dog beneath his fear. He urgently needs a quiet, patient environment where he can decompress, feel safe, and begin to build trust.

💙🐶 Captain #A2082443
6/22/26 Stray | Staffordshire Mix | Male (Intact) | 2 Years Old | 61.0 lbs | HW Status Unknown

💙 Volunteer Notes:

We were not able to meet Captain #A2082443. If you're interested in helping us meet the animals, please message us!

📝 Shelter Notes:

6/22/26: During intake and workup, Captain stood with a wagging tail until blood collection was attempted, at which point he flinched and turned away quickly. Staff attempts to restrain him resulted in thrashing and screaming, preventing completion of heartworm testing.

6/25/26: Captain initially showed a worried face and hesitated when staff attempted to leash him. After being allowed outside to potty, he returned to staff with a wagging tail and walked back cooperatively.

6/25/26: During an evening attempt to administer eye medication, Captain lunged and barked through the kennel. Staff were able to medicate him during the morning, but he remained vocal and showed wide eyes in the evening.

6/27/26: Captain stood at his kennel door with a high wagging tail, open-mouth smile, and neutral body posture. He leashed easily and walked on a semi-loose leash to the runs and a loose leash back to his kennel. He returned to his kennel willingly for treats and remained quiet throughout the morning.

6/28/26: Captain was lying down in his kennel when approached. He walked on a semi-tight leash to the runs and, upon returning to his kennel, began vocalizing as other dogs around him were also vocalizing.

6/29/26: Captain was moved as a "move adopt" dog. Staff were able to leash him in the outside runs, where he ignored treats and walked with a tucked tail, dilated pupils, and a tense body. After being placed in his new kennel, he began barking, so enrichment was provided.

7/2/26: Captain was constantly vocalizing during morning feeding and cleaning. When approached, he displayed a flinchy body posture, a partially tucked tail, and dilated eyes. Once leashed, he walked on a forward leash but did not pull hard and continued vocalizing while in the outdoor kennel.

🚑 Medical Notes:
• 2-year-old intact male weighing 61 pounds
• Heartworm status unknown
• Presented with ocular discharge from both eyes, worse in the left eye
• Diagnosed with conjunctivitis, possibly secondary to entropion, and treated with erythromycin ophthalmic ointment for 10 days
• Had superficial healed scabs on the medial axilla and elbow with no redness, discharge, or swelling; no further treatment required

💙 Captain appears to be a sensitive dog who is struggling with the stress of the shelter environment. While he can become fearful and vocal in the kennel setting, staff have also observed him displaying friendly body language, walking well on leash, and seeking reassurance. He urgently needs a calm, patient environment where he can decompress and feel safe.

6/30/2026: When approached, Olive was lying down. She slowly stood and moved forward. She left her kennel at a slow pace and bear-crawled all the way to her new kennel.
