What reaction does staff expect from a frightened dog being forcibly restrained with a catch pole❓️

Shelters need to be held accountable. Countless dogs are mislabeled as “aggressive” because they react after being mistreated or mishandled during intake. A terrified, stressed dog reacting to force does NOT automatically make them aggressive.

🐾 Mater ID: #A1973384

Cane Corso • Male • Approximately 2 yrs old

📆 Intake Date: 8/7/2026

Mater was brought in as a stray. He did not have any owner information or a microchip. Review Date: 8/20/2026

✨️ NOTES: Mater is understandably and rightfully scared. Fearful shelter dogs can react defensively to catch-pole restraint, particularly when handled by unfamiliar people. His growling, lunging, snapping, and avoidance appear to be fear- and stress-based responses rather than evidence of inherent aggression. Importantly, when the pressure is reduced and he is offered treats, Mater has shown that he can calm down and become cooperative—offering his paw, sitting on cue, and wagging his tail. His behavior is strongly influenced by fear and arousal, especially when he becomes overstimulated, and should be evaluated within that context.

Hi everyone,

Thor and Ellie went back to the veterinary clinic for testing for a fungal infection, and unfortunately, both of their results came back positive for Malassezia (fungal dermatitis).

Their veterinarian explained that this may be related to the severe malnutrition and neglect they endured before they were rescued, which likely weakened their skin barrier and immune system. Thankfully, they do not need to be on a hypoallergenic diet at this time. They will, however, be receiving antifungal medications and supplements to help their skin heal and support their recovery.

Their recent expenses include:
Thor & Ellie veterinary bill — Aug. 17: Php 5,010 ($113.76 CAD)

Thor & Ellie veterinary bill — Aug. 19: Php 3,600 ($84.48 CAD)

Hypoallergenic food — Aug. 17: Php 2,475 ($56.15 CAD)

2x Royal Canin Gastrointestinal food — Aug. 16: Php 3,317 ($75.44 CAD)

Our rescued dogs Raphael and Angel were also recently at the veterinary clinic.

Raphael
Raphael went for his follow-up checkup. We are happy that his blood work and injuries have improved. However, the veterinarians recently discovered a mass under the skin on his right flank. For now, we will be monitoring it closely and following the veterinarian's recommendations.
Veterinary bill — Aug. 18: Php 800 ($18.10 CAD)

Angel
Angel was recently diagnosed with Babesia, a blood parasite. She had ticks before she was rescued last July, and unfortunately, the infection has now shown up in her blood work.
The good news is that her fungal infection is improving, and she continues to have a huge appetite, which is something we are very happy to see.
Veterinary bill — Aug. 17: Php 4,930 ($111.89 CAD)

Angelito
Angelito is still resting and eating well.
We are planning to take him to the veterinary clinic later to have his wound cleaned again and to have his blood work checked.

Because Angelito’s condition is severe, even though he was just recently seen by his veterinarian, we would also like to have him examined by a different doctor for a second opinion. We believe that having another veterinarian assess his condition may provide us with a different perspective and possibly additional recommendations on how we can better support his recovery and give him the best care possible.
We are doing everything we can to give Angelito a chance to heal. His condition is still very serious, but as long as he continues to fight, we want to continue fighting alongside him.

Again, will send updates as soon as we can.

We are doing our best to continue providing all of our rescued animals with the medical care, food, medications, shelter support/allowance, supplements, and anything that they need. But with multiple animals undergoing treatment at the same time, the expenses are becoming increasingly difficult for us to manage on our own.

If you are able to provide financial support toward their veterinary care, food, medications, transportation, daily needs, or our mission of helping vulnerable animals in the Philippines, it would mean so much to us and our rescued animals.
We also understand that not everyone can help financially. Support is completely voluntary, and kind words, encouragement, and sharing our posts are equally appreciated. Thank you for standing with us.

Thank you to everyone who continues to stand behind our rescues and support them through their recovery. We truly appreciate you.

Sincerely,

After 8 YEARS with her family, 8-year-old Lucy is now sitting in a kennel at Downey ACC.

Lucy was surrendered on 7/6/26 following a scuffle with a small dog in the home. Lucy now has a No small Dogs requirement.

But there is so much more to Lucy than that one piece of her history.

She lived with children ages 11–13 and was playful. She rides well in the car. She walks politely on leash. She knows sit and paw. Her favorite thing to play with? A BALL. 🎾

And shelter staff saw another side of her, too.

During her assessment, Lucy was nervous and somewhat concerned with handling—but once it was over, her entire posture softened. She sought engagement with the handler and even offered play bows.

And on 8/11, Lucy participated in playgroup. She was described as social and non-reactive, exchanged appropriate greetings with other dogs, played with them, and solicited affection from the handlers.

She is large-dog friendly, but needs a home without small dogs. Adults only or older children are recommended. Slow introductions and confidence-building would help her settle in and feel secure.

Lucy is 8 years old.

She spent eight years belonging to someone.

Now she’s waiting behind a kennel door, hoping someone will believe that her story isn’t over.

Please don’t let one incident become the only thing anyone sees when they look at Lucy.

🆘️ On Euthanasia list at BARC, Houston for Wednesday, 8/19/26. Deadline at 1pm 🆘️

ID #A2088449

🐾 Meet Nate

ID #A2088449

2-year-old male Labrador Retriever mix

Black / White | 46 lbs

Intake Date: 7/29/2026

Nate came into BARC as a stray after a caller reported a group of several dogs outside in the heat and was concerned for their health. Elmo (ID #A2088448) is still at BARC, but not on the euthanasia list yet. Sadly, Dallas (ID #2088462) was already euthanized. 2 of the other dogs are no longer listed and we don't know their status (ID #A2088446 and ID #A2088459).

🩺 MEDICAL

Nate is heartworm LOW POSITIVE and is now being treated for an upper respiratory infection/CIRD.

On 8/18, he was sneezing yellow discharge and was moved to the treatment room. He was started on Doxycycline 200 mg once daily for 10 days.

He has received his DA2PP vaccines, Bordetella, rabies vaccine, deworming, pyrantel and Advantage Multi.

🐾Behavior notes:

During many walks, Nate has shown a neutral or relaxed body, soft expression and loose-leash walking. He has also been observed quietly resting on his bed and ignoring barking dogs once given some space.

However, Nate can become tense around other dogs. On 8/17, he was whining and standing against his kennel door as other dogs were walked past, but once it was his turn, he became quiet and walked loosely beside his handler.

I posted about Bear a few times.

He was left abandoned and tied up to a post in my grandparents backyard back on March 31st.

He had a pretty bad flea infestation, muscle deterioration and was most likely abused.

I have now had him since April 26th

We have been actively looking for a home

But since he is deaf.

I've been very particular with my vetting process so we haven't found anything yet.

But this is an update as of 3 days ago.

He has made such a comeback.

Bear is absolute cutie and such a funny guy.

Enjoy his big smiles. 🐺

The picture above March 31st when my mom found him On the right was just last Saturday.

🩷 Say hello to pretty and sweet Pippa (A602654) she 7 years young and 50 lbs. This girl has the most magnificent eyes! Pippa is easily leashed and walks very nicely.  She allows full and easy handling, is very affectionate and seeks social. Pippa is also house-broken. She does come with a few medical issues — and the shelter is not able to give her the care she needs.  Seeing a full-service vet will be helpful for her. She does have a heart murmur (which does not mean she cannot live a full life) and a possible mammary mass.  She is also heartworm positive but her treatment is sponsored by the shelter. This precious girl needs to be loved and in a home.  Pippa is available for adoption but can also be fostered through a rescue.

Sweet LINDA #A658207 came into Harris County Pets with her siblings after they were found as strays. 💔 Her brother Bowie has already been adopted, but Linda is still waiting for someone to choose her.

💙 Volunteer Notes:

We were not able to meet Frasier #A2091306. If you're interested in helping us meet the animals, please message us!

📝 Shelter Notes:

8/14/26: Frasier was found as one of six loose dogs at Coolwood Head Start.

💖 Frasier is just an 11-week-old baby who has already had a difficult start to life. At only 11 pounds, he arrived at the shelter with an older fracture to his front right leg that has been healing crooked. Despite his injury, the shelter notes that he can be adopted as he is, with further veterinary care pursued later if needed. This little puppy deserves the chance to grow up in a safe, loving home instead of losing his life at the shelter.

🩺 Medical Notes:

8/14/26: Front right leg appeared to have an older injury/break. Frasier was limping.

8/15/26: Frasier's front right leg appears to have an older injury/fracture with a large, hard callus just above the carpus. He is limping. The fracture is healing but is crooked/deviated laterally. The shelter notes that his limp appears to be related more to the crooked healing than pain. He can be adopted in his current condition, with further veterinary care pursued later if desired.

🩷 Say hello to pretty and sweet Pippa (A602654) she 7 years young and 50 lbs. This girl has the most magnificent eyes! Pippa is easily leashed and walks very nicely.  She allows full and easy handling, is very affectionate and seeks social. Pippa is also house-broken. She does come with a few medical issues — and the shelter is not able to give her the care she needs.  Seeing a full-service vet will be helpful for her. She does have a heart murmur (which does not mean she cannot live a full life) and a possible mammary mass.  She is also heartworm positive but her treatment is sponsored by the shelter. This precious girl needs to be loved and in a home.  Pippa is available for adoption but can also be fostered through a rescue.

🆘 Healthy, 2 year old, owner surrendered GSD mix boy Socks is terrified and on the euthanasia list Tuesday, 8/18. There will be no extensions per BARC. 🆘

⏰ Socks #A2090901 must have a HOLD no later than 1PM or he will lose his life.🥺

💙🐶 Socks #A2090901
8/10 Euth Request | German Shepherd Mix | Male | 2 Years | 50.2 lbs | Heartworm Negative

💙 Volunteer Notes:
We were not able to meet Socks #A2090901. If you're interested in helping us meet the animals, please message us!

📝 Shelter Notes:

8/11/26: Socks was tense in his kennel and hid his head when staff attempted to leash him. He did not want to walk and was muzzled and carried to a new kennel.

8/12/26: Socks continued to remain very tense in his kennel, hiding his head and refusing to walk when staff attempted to leash him. He was muzzled and carried to a new kennel.

8/13/26: Socks displayed a tense body, whale eyes, tucked tail, and pressed his head into the corner of his kennel. Once leashed, he remained frozen and would not get up or accept treats. Staff ultimately muzzled and carried him to a new kennel to minimize stress.

8/15/26: Socks stayed at the back of his kennel, avoiding eye contact and trembling. After being leashed, he laid on the floor and would not move, so staff muzzled and carried him to a new kennel.

8/17/26: Socks remained tense in his kennel and stayed toward the back. When staff stepped inside, he lowered himself and hid his head. He would not move for treats or when the leash was placed and had to be carried to a new kennel.

💖 Socks appears to be completely overwhelmed and shut down in the shelter environment. This scared boy has consistently frozen, trembled, avoided eye contact, and tried to make himself small rather than showing aggression. He desperately needs a quiet, patient place where he can decompress, feel safe, and begin learning that people can be trusted.

🩺 Medical Notes:

Heartworm negative.

No current medical concerns noted.
