🆘 Staff sent out a plea on Genesis and Ellie JR warning us that they will be Euthanized this Friday morning before the shelter doors open to the public! This scared pair of sisters were confiscated from their owner after they were reported as living in a cruel situation! These girls have been totally let down by their human along with 14 other relatives. Now all their lives have been placed in danger.

We need to find a home for GENESIS & ELLIE JR quickly as the shelter is planning to Euthanize them BOTH. Are you ready to adopt the love(s) of your life? At least offer to foster temporarily to get them out to safety-you do need an APPOINTMENT so follow the instructions below.💞

IN GRAVE DANGER - EUTH COMMAND

“I’m Charisma… though right now I know that name doesn’t seem to fit me. I used to be different — playful, cuddly, always pressed against my person because that’s where I felt safe. But then everything changed. My parent got sick, then lost our home, and the day we said goodbye I cried into their shirt while they cried into my fur. I didn’t understand why we couldn’t stay together. I still don’t. I just know they loved me, and I loved them, and then suddenly I was alone.

Here in the shelter I’m so scared that my whole body shakes. I hide in the corner of my kennel because it’s the only place that feels small enough to hold all my fear. When people try to take me out, I panic — my legs won’t move, my body freezes, and sometimes I thrash because I don’t know what else to do. I’m not trying to be difficult. I’m just a ten‑month‑old puppy who lost everything and doesn’t know how to be brave yet.

But underneath all this trembling is the real me — the girl who loves to cuddle, who follows her people from room to room, who gives soft kisses and wiggles when she trusts you. I’m playful with dogs I know, gentle with the people I love, and I want so badly to feel safe again. I just need time… time to decompress, time to learn the world isn’t ending, time to remember that I’m still a puppy with a whole life ahead of me.

The shelter says I’m “not acclimating,” and now I’m on the list to die. I don’t want my story to end here. I don’t want my parent — wherever they are, probably still struggling — to find out that I am gone forever. I want a quiet, patient, adult home where someone will kneel beside me, speak softly, and let me come forward when I’m ready. Someone who sees past the shaking and understands that fear is not who I am — it’s just what happened to me.

Please… I’m only ten months old. I’m healthy. I’m loving. I’m trying. I just need someone to save my life and give me the chance to become the dog my name promises.”

Experienced fosters and adopters, we need you to step up for this baby girl who did nothing wrong. She’s lost it all, the parent she loved, the home she felt safe and loved in, and now she may lose her own life. It’s unfair. MESSAGE OUR PAGE to save her life now.

CHARISMA, Id 252611, @10 Mos. Old, 54 lbs., Female
Queens ACC, Medium Mixed Breed, Gray/White
Owner Surrender Reason: 5/5/26 – Owner Homeless
Behavior Assessment Rating: New Hope Only
Recommendations:
No children under 13
Place with a New Hope Partner
Medical Behavior Rating: 4. Orange

AT RISK MEMO:
Charisma is at risk due to behavioral concerns. Charisma has been highly fearful and shut down during her stay in care, despite best efforts to keep her comfortable. In her previous home she is describe to enjoy being close to her people, playful, and an affectionate dog. In care, she refuses to leave her kennel and thrashes intensely once leashed. Charisma was also reported to display similar behaviors during her intake and refused to walk to her kennel. Medically, Charisma is apparently healthy.

Charisma was surrendered by her previous owner due to their health concerns. Her previous family described her as an active, playful, affectionate dog. She spends most of her time where her people are. She did not allow her previous family to bathe her, brush her, or trim her nails, did not have a walking schedule, was never crate trained, and she struggles when being placed in a car. During her stay in care, Charisma has been highly fearful and shut down. She refuses to leave her kennel or walk, moving to the corner of her kennel, trembling, and begins thrashing before freezing in place once leashed. Due to these concerns, we recommend that Charisma be placed in an adult-only home through a New Hope rescue partner that can give her the time and space to decompress and acclimate at her own pace. She will likely need further socialization sessions under the guidance of a certified professional trainer who utilizes force-free, reward-only based methods once she has had ample time to adjust to a new home environment.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: New Hope Only

Recommendations:
No children (under 13)
Place with a New Hope partner

Recommendations comments:

No children (under 13): Due to Charisma's intense, fearful and shut-down behaviors, we recommend an adult-only home as she may be intimidated by children.

Place with a New Hope partner: Charisma has not acclimated well to the kennel environment and has allowed only minimal handling since intake. We recommend placement with a New Hope partner who can provide any necessary behavior modification (force-free, positive reinforcement-based) and re-evaluate behavior in a stable home environment before placement into a permanent home.

Potential challenges:
House soiling
Resource guarding
Handling/touch sensitivity
Fearful
Anxiety
On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration

Potential challenges comments:

House soiling: Charisma is reported to have accidents on a weekly basis in her previous home. Please see the handout on House soiling.

Resource guarding: Charisma is reported to guard her food, hovering over it with a tense body. Please see the handout on resource guarding.

Handling/touch sensitivity | Fearful: Charisma has been highly fearful and shutdown during her stay in care. She moves to a corner of her kennel when handlers attempt to leash her, thrashing once leashed, and refuses to leave her kennel or walk once out. Her previous owner stated that she did not allow any form of grooming, including nail trims. And she was fearful when restrained and when her collar is grabbed. Please see handouts on Decompression period and Handling/touch sensitivity.

Anxiety: Charisma is reported to be anxious in the previuos home, but her owner did not elaborate on how this behavior manifested or if any steps were taken to modify these behaviors. If Charisma displays anxious behavior in her future home, we recommend puzzle toys, long walks, and giving her other things to focus on to alleviate her anxiety. Positive reinforcement, force-free training only should be used. Please see hadnout on generalized anxiety.

On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration: Charisma is reported to bark and growl at moving objects during walks. Please see handout on On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration.

🆘 The shelter has issued a PLEA for BENNY! That means BENNY will be euthanized Wednesday May 20 unless a FOSTER or ADOPTER comes forward for him by 6pm on May 19!

🚨 BENNY is so terrified in the shelter. He cuddles with new friend Louie for comfort which means he is sweet and dog friendly. BENNY would do well with another confident dog at home to show him the ropes of how to dog.

He might be scared but he allows touching and handling so we know he's a good boy. With time to decompress and patience to let him set the pace BENNY would come out of his shell and blossom into a fun loving dog.

Now is the time to HELP us get good boy BENNY out of the shelter in time.His life is in danger every Monday, Wednesday & Friday morning before the shelter opens to the public

Here is what we know about BENNY:
friendly with other dogs, seeks comfort
scared but not aggressive
Bloodhound mix
3 years old
50 lbs
HW Positive - ask the shelter manager if BENNY can be treated in the Heal A Heart program for local adopters. Ask us for other local low cost vets
meet BENNY and new friend LOUIE in kennel 4A11
Male- will be neutered
Stray in 77532 on 4/17

🆘 URGENT NOW-HELP NEEDED‼️Staff has issued a PLEA which means ARIEL will be euthanized this Wednesday morning 5/20. OUT OF STATE ADOPTION IS POSSIBLE! Apply NOW.

✨ ARIEL ✨ She has one of those faces that still looks like a puppy no matter how old she gets. 🥺

This young Akita girl is sweet, easygoing, dog friendly , people friendly , and genuinely sounds like the kind of dog who could fit beautifully into almost any home.

Volunteers described her as:
A sweetheart.”
“Easy to remove from her kennel.”
Fun.”
A great companion.”

She spent time happily running around the yard with her TWO kennel mates, enjoyed treats, walked well on leash, and made such a lovely impression on the people who spent time with her.

ARIEL was kenneled with another dog named Princess Jasmine 👑✨ who was rescued… but ARIEL is still waiting for her own happy ending.

Akitas are not a super common breed found at this shelter, and ARIEL sounds like an exceptionally social and easygoing young dog. If you have Akita experience, have owned the breed before, or have been interested in fostering or adopting one, now would be the time to reach out for ARIEL. 🏡

Please don’t let ARIEL lose her life before she ever gets the chance to simply be someone’s beloved dog. 🤍

Folks, this young mom was on euthanasia list for Saturday. The vet had to go to dinner or something and left her until Monday.
Her puppies died.

She has an infection that is easily treated.

Can anyone please help? Fostering will help a lot, if you can’t adopt.

Thank you

Came in as a stray, So sweet but nervous to come out of her kennel. In playgroup, Lily was tolerant with other dogs and remained calm, keeping mostly to herself. She would likely do best with a calmer dog and an adopter who can give her time to build confidence.
