Delta still needs a home, sheโ€™s in porter ranch Ca.

๐Ÿ’” Delta almost lost her life because someone wouldnโ€™t treat a skin condition that could be healed.
Someone looked at this sweet German Shepherd and asked for her life to end. She needed treatment. She needed care. She needed someone to believe she was worth the effort.
Thankfully, the vet refused to euthanize her. And because of that decision, Delta is still here. โค๏ธ
Since we brought her home from the vet, she has had medicated baths every single day. Her skin is healing, and her beautiful black coat is finally growing back in. Every little patch of new fur means so much when you think about how close she came to never having that chance.
But the part that really gets me is how loving she is. After everything, Delta is still sweet, gentle, and docile. Sheโ€™s wonderful with other dogs and kids. She has so much love to give, and it breaks my heart to think that someone was willing to let all of that disappear.
We can give her baths. We can help her skin heal. But what I want more than anything is to help her find a family who will love her for the rest of her life.
A home where she has her own bed. Where someone is happy to see her every morning. Where getting sick means being cared for. Where she is loved on the hard days, too.
Delta has already come so far. Now she deserves a home to call her ownโ€”and people who will never make her feel like sheโ€™s too much trouble to keep. ๐Ÿพโค๏ธ
Please message me if you can give Delta that home. If you canโ€™t, please share her story.
She almost lost every tomorrow. Letโ€™s help make the ones she has left beautiful. ๐Ÿก

  • Breed: Staffordshire Mix
  • Age: 9 weeks
  • Sex: Female
  • Weight: 11.5 lbs
  • Intake date: 10/8/26
  • Status: Stray โ€” OTC
  • Intake condition: Severe

๐ŸŽฅ VIDEOS THROUGHOUT THE COMMENTS

๐Ÿ’œ Volunteer Notes โ€” Intake:

Katara came into BARC as a stray on 10/8. She was just 9 weeks old and arrived with significant medical concerns, including widespread hair loss and an injury to her right hind leg. Her intake condition was classified as severe.

๐Ÿ“ Shelter Notes:

No behavioral evaluations have been documented for Katara.

๐Ÿš‘ Medical Notes:

  • 10/8: Katara weighed 11.5 lbs and received a 4/9 medical assessment. Veterinary staff noted that her right hind leg appeared to be broken. She was also experiencing significant hair loss across her entire body.
  • 10/8: A veterinary examination documented widespread hair loss and lameness, with Katara unable to bear weight on her right hind leg. A skin scraping was performed and returned negative. The veterinarian assessed her skin condition as dermatitis, potentially associated with flea allergy dermatitis.
  • Flea medication was administered, and carprofen was prescribed for pain and inflammation.
  • The veterinarian recommended rescue placement for further diagnostics and treatment.
  • She received routine intake vaccines, deworming, and flea prevention.

๐Ÿ’– SHE'S ONLY 9 WEEKS OLD โ€” PLEASE DON'T LET THIS BABY'S LIFE END BEFORE IT BEGINS! ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿพ

Katara should be discovering the world, playing with toys, and learning what it feels like to be safe and loved. Instead, this tiny 11.5-pound puppy is facing a heartbreaking medical struggle and an urgent deadline at the shelter.

Her right hind leg appears to be broken, and she has been unable to put weight on it. She is also dealing with extensive hair loss and skin irritation. She needs further diagnostics and veterinary treatment, and she deserves the opportunity to receive that care without her life hanging in the balance.

๐Ÿ™ Katara needs a RESCUE willing to take responsibility for her medical care, pledges to help cover expenses, and a LOCAL FOSTER who can provide a safe, comfortable place for her to recover.

Imagine being so small and so young, already in pain, with your whole life still ahead of you. Katara cannot ask for help herself. We have to speak up for her.

๐Ÿ’— She deserves the chance to heal, grow, play, and become the happy dog she was meant to be. Please help find the rescue and foster she urgently needs. She should have a futureโ€”not a deadline. ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿถ

๐Ÿšจ RESCUE ONLY โ€” A RESCUE GROUP MUST TAG HER TO SAVE HER LIFE.

๐Ÿท๏ธ This puppy can only be tagged by a rescue group. Rescues need committed fosters to take in dogs like Katara and help them recover. She cannot be fostered or adopted directly through the shelter. If you can foster locally, please message the page urgently so a rescue may be able to step forward.

๐Ÿ“Œ LOCAL FOSTER OR ADOPTION HELP: Please contact BARC directly. Neither BARC nor this page can assist with out-of-state adoption or foster offers. We are NOT the shelter.

๐Ÿ’Œ ALL HOLDS MUST BE SUBMITTED IN WRITING. PLEASE DO NOT CALL.

If you are local and interested in fostering or adopting, please email all three addresses:

Please include the animalโ€™s seven-digit ID number: A2101230.

Final plea for gorgeous Salami! This gorgeous, loving, friendly girl is on the euthanasia list tomorrow Monday 10/12 @ 1 pm CT. BARC Houston, A2097219. Please get in touch if you adopt anywhere in the US/Canada. Please share.

๐Ÿก AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION, FOSTER, OR RESCUE
๐Ÿš— OUT-OF-STATE OR CANADIAN ADOPTION IS POSSIBLE โ€” The cost is typically around $600 USD (give or take). The fee includes transport, boarding, full medical care, spay/neuter, and a health certificate.

We are a volunteer network dedicated to helping at-risk dogs. We are not affiliated with BARC. We connect at-risk animals at the BARC shelter with the adopters, fosters, and rescue organizations needed to save their lives. We can help coordinate out-of-state adoption through approved 501(c)(3) rescues.

Please send the OP a Chat invite or send moderator mail to r/findfostersfordogs (under the โ€œSee Moreโ€ tab) for information and a link to an application form. BARC Houston cannot facilitate out-of-state adoption or foster.

๐Ÿ†˜๐Ÿ’” SHE HAS SO MUCH LOVE AND JOY TO GIVE โ€” PLEASE DON'T LET HER RUN OUT OF TIME! ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ†˜

Meet Salami, a 4-year-old girl with a wonderfully happy, affectionate personality! Her shelter notes describe a wiggly body, a high wagging tail, happy feet, and a soft, smiling expression whenever staff approach. She gets so excited to see people that she sometimes bounces and hops with happiness! Despite all that enthusiasm, she has repeatedly shown that she can walk nicely on a loose leash and is easy for staff to handle. โค๏ธ

Salami is heartworm-negative, but she is currently being treated for a treatable upper respiratory infection (URI). She deserves the chance to recover in a safe, loving environment instead of spending another day in the stressful shelter. Sadly, Salami is on the euthanasia list for TODAY, Saturday, October 10. BARC will not grant extensions. This joyful girl urgently needs someone to step up for her before it is too late. ๐Ÿฅบ๐Ÿ†˜

โฐ URGENT: SALAMI [#A2097219] MUST HAVE A HOLD PLACED NO LATER THAN 1 PM TODAY, OR SHE RISKS LOSING HER LIFE.

๐Ÿ™ WE NEED PLEDGES AND A LOCAL FOSTER FOR A RESCUE TO HELP SAVE HER! Please help us give Salami the chance she deserves. She has so much happiness to share โ€” she just needs someone to give her a chance. ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿก๐Ÿฉท

๐Ÿšฉ PLEASE DO NOT HONOR PLEDGES UNTIL THIS POST HAS BEEN UPDATED WITH RESCUE INFORMATION AND A FREEDOM PICTURE. Please reach out with any questions or concerns.

10/3 Stray - Field | American Staffordshire Mix | Tan/White | Neutered Male | 4 Years | 73 lbs | Heartworm Negative

๐Ÿ’œ Volunteer Notes:

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

๐Ÿ“ Shelter Notes:

10/3: Property manager reported that a tenant abandoned two pit bulls inside their unit and requested assistance having them removed. A 24-hour notice was posted.

10/7: Buddy spent the day standing at the front of his kennel, barking continuously.

10/8: Buddy continued barking throughout the day. He walked on a loose leash and greeted neighboring dogs with a relaxed body and wagging tail, although he barked while in the runs.

10/9: Buddy was vocal throughout the day but quieted with extra enrichment, treats or attention.

10/10: Buddy continued to be vocal throughout the day but responded positively to enrichment, treats and attention. He walked on a semi-loose leash to and from the runs, although he remained very vocal while outside.

๐Ÿฉบ Medical Notes:

10/3: Buddy weighed 73 lbs at intake. Staff noted significant infections in both ears requiring a sedated cleaning.

10/3: Veterinary examination described Buddy as friendly but uncomfortable with his ears being touched. Both ear flaps were severely swollen, with purulent discharge inside the ear canals and draining down his cheeks. A chronic ear infection was suspected.

10/4: Buddy underwent sedated cleaning of both ears and received Claro otic medication. He was also given medications associated with the procedure, including ketamine and ketoprofen.

Buddy received routine vaccinations, deworming and flea prevention. His heartworm test was NEGATIVE.

Buddy will need veterinary follow-up to ensure his painful ear infections are resolving.

๐Ÿ’– Buddy Dog has already been abandoned once, and now his life is at risk. This handsome boy is understandably vocal in the shelter, but staff have noticed that he settles with treats, enrichment and attention. Despite his painful ears and stressful surroundings, he has greeted neighboring dogs with a relaxed body and wagging tail. Buddy deserves a chance to feel comfortable, loved and safe again. Please help give this sweet boy the second chance he deserves. ๐Ÿ’™

9/23 Euthanasia Request - OTC | Labrador Retriever Mix | Yellow | Male | 11 Months | 44.4 lbs | Heartworm Negative

๐ŸŽฅWATCH VIDEO HERE: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/GSWhhWpW-Xs

๐Ÿ’œ Volunteer Notes:

Arlo is the cutest 10 month old sweetheart. I approached him at his kennel and all he wanted to do was give kisses through the kennel door. I was able to leash him and he walked on the leash with some pulling on the leash which I expected with his age and the fact that he is a young dog with energy. Poor baby just wants to play! Once he got his energy out in the run you could see what a wonderful dog he is. He is affectionate, loving, playful and sweet! He did great with his temperament test. He seemingly wanted to play with the other dog.

He is good boy I just think just like the other dogs/puppies at the shelter itโ€™s a lot on them to be cooped up in a small kennel for hours on end! I hope he gets the chance to experience the life he deserves!

๐Ÿ“ Shelter Notes:

9/25: Arlo displayed a wiggly body but pulled tightly on the leash heading to the runs. While outside, a neighboring shepherd was barking continuously at other dogs. Arlo raised his hackles and paced around the run before moving to the far end, away from the other dog. When returning to his kennel, he ran with a tight leash toward the other dog.

10/1: Arlo greeted staff with a wiggly body, high, fast-wagging tail and soft, open-mouthed smile. He walked with forward pressure on the leash while picking up treats from the trail.

10/10: Arlo greeted staff at his kennel door with a wiggly body, fast-wagging tail and soft, smiling mouth with his tongue out. He walked on a semi-forward leash and occasionally picked up treats. Once returned to his kennel, he began lunging and barking at other dogs passing by. He ignored treats while focused on the dogs but lowered his head and returned to his bed following a firm verbal correction. Staff covered his kennel and continued monitoring.

10/11: While on leash, Arlo lunged and growled with raised hackles at other dogs in the kennels. He engaged in fence fighting with a neighboring dog in the run and continued lunging and growling toward other dogs. Once returned to his kennel, he barked deeply and jumped against the kennel door when other dogs passed.

๐Ÿฉบ Medical Notes:

9/23: Arlo weighed 44.4 lbs at intake. His initial medical examination was normal. He received routine vaccinations, deworming and parasite prevention. His heartworm test was negative.

10/5: Arlo developed sneezing, sniffling and colored nasal discharge. Veterinary staff diagnosed a suspected canine upper respiratory infection (URI) and prescribed doxycycline 200 mg once daily for 10 days.

๐Ÿ’– Arlo is just 11 months old, and his life is already on the line. This handsome young boy has greeted staff with a wiggly body, enthusiastic tail wags and the sweetest smile. Unfortunately, the shelter environment appears to be overwhelming him, and his reactions toward other dogs have escalated. Arlo desperately needs an experienced, patient foster or adopter with a calm, dog-free environment where he can decompress and receive appropriate guidance. He's still a puppy with so much life ahead of him. Please don't let his story end here. ๐Ÿ’™

10/4/2026: Approaching the kennel, Samson was standing in front of the kennel gate with a open mouth smile, fast wagging tail, ears up, wiggling body, and soft eyes.

10/6/2026: Samson will greet at the front of the kennel as he presents loose body, open mouth and dilated pupils. Once leashed he is a bit jumpy but able to redirect with treats. When placing him in the outside run he was jumpy and mouthy and was biting the leash and wouldn't let go. When place back in his kennel I took the dog next to him out and Samson was barking and snarling at him while the other dog did not react.

10/8/2026: Samson continously kept trying to chew the leash, and became mouthy when taking to outside run. Samson showed no interest in treats.

10/9/2026: Samson continously kept jumping up while on the leash. Samson also kept putting his mouth around my hand and tugging on my shirt sleeves. I could sometimes redirect with treats but he would go right back to tugging on my sleeves.

10/10/2026: Samson was placed in outdoor kennel in the morning due to Uri symptoms. while in kennel he was pacing with dilated eyes, panting, and vocalizing. when trying to leash he kept jumping up and was very mouthy towards my hand and leash. once leashed i gave a loud and firm no and he stopped the nipping but walked on a forward leash. once in his kennel i covered and provided a pig ear. he has been quiet all day but i will continue to monitor.

10/10/2026: Samson greeted me with a soft face, front paws on the door, wiggly body, wagging tail, dilated eyes, lip licked and play-bowed. He was easily leashed and walked semi-loosely, very excited, rearing, mouthy with leash and me, jumped up and bit my arm bruising it.

* Received Advantage Multi and Pyrantel deworming.
* Vaccinated for DA2PP, Bordetella, and rabies.

โธป
๐Ÿถ Behavior Notes:
Cody has shown he can be calm and quiet in his kennel, resting on his blanket, and has previously walked on a loose leash. More recently, he has been very vocal and over-aroused in the shelter, with pacing, panting, and jumping at kennel doors. His behavior appears to be affected by stress in this environment.
Cody is easily leashed, and on some walks he has moved comfortably without pulling hard. He needs a patient, experienced caregiver who can give him time to decompress and help him feel secure.

9/15 Stray - OTC | Labrador Retriever Mix | Neutered Male | 1 Year | 43.2 lbs | HW Negative

๐Ÿ’œ Volunteer Notes:

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

๐Ÿ“ Shelter Notes:

9/15: Beavis was described as very wiggly during intake.

9/17: Beavis displayed a loose, wiggly body and walked on a loose leash.

9/19: Beavis walked on a loose leash, showed interest in treats and remained quiet in his kennel.

10/6: Beavis greeted staff at his kennel door with a loose, wiggly body, fast-wagging tail and perked ears. He was easily leashed and walked on a loose leash to and from the outdoor runs. While outside, he got the zoomies and tried to play with neighboring dogs by play bowing and running along the fence line.

10/9: Beavis was standing at the front of his kennel when staff approached. He walked on a semi-tight leash to the outdoor run and back. Once returned to his kennel, he began throwing water from his bowl and watched staff while they attempted to clean it.

10/10: Beavis was a little vocal during morning feeding and cleaning. He greeted staff at his kennel door with a wiggly body, fast-wagging tail and soft, open mouth with his tongue hanging out. He walked on a loose leash to and from the outdoor runs.

๐Ÿฉบ Medical Notes:

9/15: Beavis weighed approximately 43 lbs and received routine vaccinations, deworming and parasite prevention. He tested negative for heartworms.

9/21: Beavis was neutered.

9/28: Beavis developed sneezing and nasal discharge. Veterinary staff diagnosed a canine upper respiratory infection (URI) and prescribed doxycycline 200 mg once daily for 10 days.

10/8: Beavis continued showing symptoms of an upper respiratory infection. His doxycycline treatment was extended for another five days.

๐Ÿ’– Beavis is barely a year old, and this happy, playful boy has so much life ahead of him! Shelter staff describe him as a wiggly, affectionate youngster who loves treats, walks nicely on a leash and gets the most adorable zoomies when he's outside. He's even tried to make friends with neighboring dogs by play bowing and running along the fence! Despite battling a respiratory infection, his playful spirit hasn't faded. Beavis needs a loving foster who can give him a safe place to recover, plenty of affection and the chance to enjoy being a young dog. He has so much love and happiness left to give. Please don't let his life end in a shelter. ๐Ÿ’™

๐Ÿ’œ Volunteer Notes:
We were not able to meet Andrew. If you're interested in helping us meet the animals, please message us!
๐Ÿ“ Shelter Notes:
9/15: Andrew approached the kennel with an open mouth smile, soft eyes, ears up, fast wagging tail and loose body. He was excited to be leashed and walked on a loose leash but became startled easily by barking dogs. He continued to follow staff.
9/16: Andrew greeted staff with a loose, wiggly body. Once leashed, he ran out of the kennel but froze. He would alternate between walking and freezing, and needed time to settle before returning to his kennel.
9/17: Andrew walked slowly on the leash and showed no interest in treats. He repeatedly stepped into his water bowl, causing it to spill, and became very agitated whenever staff tried to clean it.
9/19: Andrew walked on a semi-loose leash and was very friendly and energetic toward volunteers, sometimes attempting to jump up during walks.
9/20: Andrew greeted staff with an open-mouth smile, ears up, fast wagging tail and loose body. He walked on a semi-loose leash and occasionally jumped up. He showed some interest in treats and was very friendly.
9/21: Andrew was observed pacing around his kennel with panting, dilated eyes, a high wagging tail and forward body posture. He attempted to escape when the kennel door was opened and was difficult to redirect. He knocked over his water bucket and pulled at his bedding. Staff noted that he whined throughout the day and was offered a pig ear to help him settle.
9/22: Andrew paced in his kennel with panting, dilated eyes and a wagging tail. He walked on a semi-loose leash and stayed very close to staff during his walk. He switched kennels with a larger dog and continued whining afterward.
9/23: Andrew greeted staff with low ears and a wagging tail. He walked on a loose leash and showed interest in some treats.
9/25: Andrew greeted staff with a relaxed body, soft eyes and a soft wagging tail. He was easily leashed and walked on a loose leash to the runs before returning to his kennel.
9/26: Andrew greeted staff with an open-mouth smile, soft eyes, ears up, fast wagging tail and loose body. He walked on a loose leash, stayed very close to staff and was very friendly and welcoming throughout the walk.
9/27: Andrew greeted staff with an open-mouth smile, soft eyes, ears up, fast wagging tail and loose body. He walked on a loose leash and remained close to staff. Later, he enjoyed outdoor playtime with volunteers, walking around the runs and wagging his tail.
9/28: Andrew greeted staff with an open-mouth smile, soft eyes, ears up, fast wagging tail and loose body. He walked on a loose leash and stayed close to staff throughout his walk. He was friendly and welcoming.
9/29: Andrew greeted staff with an open-mouth smile, soft eyes, ears up, fast wagging tail and loose body. He walked on a loose leash and stayed very close to staff. When returned to his kennel, he went back to sleep on his cot.
9/30: Andrew greeted staff with a loose, relaxed body. He walked on a loose leash and remained quiet in his kennel throughout the day.
10/2: Andrew was quiet in his kennel throughout the day. He walked on a loose leash and accepted treats.
10/3: Andrew greeted staff with an open-mouth smile, soft eyes, ears up, fast wagging tail and loose body. He walked on a loose leash and stayed close to staff. He was very friendly and welcoming. Once back in his kennel, he played with his rope toy before lying down on his cot.
10/4: Andrew greeted staff with an open-mouth smile, soft eyes, ears up, fast wagging tail and loose body. He walked on a loose leash and remained close to staff. Later, he knocked over the whiteboard covering his kennel gate and began whining continuously. Staff offered treats and enrichment, which helped him settle.
10/5: Andrew greeted staff with an open-mouth smile, soft eyes, ears up, fast wagging tail and loose body. He walked on a loose leash and stayed very close to staff. Later, he was observed pawing and barking at his kennel door and attempting to knock off the board covering it.
10/6: Andrew greeted staff with a loose body, wagging tail and soft open mouth. He was a little jumpy during his walk but could be redirected with treats.
10/10: Andrew was observed sticking his legs out while lying down and barking. When staff approached, he got up and quieted down. He continued pulling at his kennel cover and knocked it down. Staff noted that he remained quiet when people walked past his kennel.
10/11: Andrew was observed barking and jumping against his kennel door during cleaning whenever another dog passed in front of his kennel.
๐Ÿฉบ Medical Notes:
9/12: Andrew weighed 51.2 lbs and tested low positive for heartworms. He received routine vaccinations, deworming and parasite prevention.
9/27: Andrew remained heartworm positive.
10/6: Andrew was sent to foster care with a dose of Advantage Multi for parasite prevention.
10/11: Andrew's medical record continued to indicate heartworm-positive status. He will need veterinary follow-up and an appropriate heartworm treatment plan.
๐Ÿ’– Andrew is just 9 months old, and this sweet, affectionate boy is already fighting for his life. Shelter staff describe him as friendly and wiggly, with soft eyes, a happy tail, and a love for being close to people. After nearly a month in the shelter, he's showing signs of stress and frustration, but beneath that is a young dog who simply wants companionship and a place to feel safe. Andrew needs a patient foster or adopter who can give him time to decompress and help him through heartworm treatment. He's still just a puppy with his whole life ahead of him. Please don't let the shelter be the only home he ever knows. ๐Ÿ’™

๐Ÿ†˜๐Ÿ’” MEET TAQUITO โ€” A BIG, FLUFFY LOVEBUG WHO JUST WANTS SOMEONE TO LOVE! ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ†˜

At 4 years old and 94.4 lbs, Taquito is a big boy with an even bigger personality! Shelter staff have repeatedly described this Labrador Retriever Mix as friendly, affectionate, and full of sweet energy. He greets people with soft eyes, a happy open-mouth smile, and a tail that just keeps wagging. He enjoys human interaction and has allowed staff to leash and pet him without issues. ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿพ

Taquito can get overexcited, especially when leaving his kennel, and may jump, bounce, zigzag, or pull on the leash. But he has also shown that he can walk more calmly, and on his most recent walk he moved forward without pulling. This enthusiastic boy needs a home where he can settle in, learn routines, and enjoy positive, patient guidance.

He is currently being treated for an upper respiratory infection and is heartworm high-positive, so he will need veterinary care and heartworm treatment. Despite these medical needs, Taquito deserves the chance to leave the shelter behind and experience the comfort and security of a loving home.

๐Ÿ†˜โฐ URGENT DEADLINE โ€” SATURDAY, 10/10 โฐ๐Ÿ†˜

TAQUITO (#A2099022) NEEDS A HOLD BY 1 PM TODAY!

๐Ÿ’” He is on BARCโ€™s euthanasia list. NO EXTENSIONS. Without a hold, he risks losing his life.

๐ŸŽฅ VIDEOS THROUGHOUT THE COMMENTS

๐Ÿ’œ VOLUNTEER NOTES

๐Ÿ“ SHELTER NOTES

  • 10/8: Taquito was jumping onto his kennel door. Once leashed, he walked forward without pulling. Staff offered treats, but he was not interested.
  • 10/7: He greeted staff at his kennel door with a wiggly body, open-mouth smile, and fast-wagging tail. He occasionally stood against the door in excitement. He moved around while being leashed but allowed staff to leash him without issues. On the way to the runs, he pulled on the leash and walked in different directions, sometimes walking against the handler's legs. He was easy to leash again and more relaxed on the return walk, pulling only slightly.
  • 10/6: Taquito greeted staff with an open-mouth smile, ears up, fast-wagging tail, wiggly body, and soft eyes. He was described as very friendly and welcoming. As staff entered his kennel, he became excited, jumping and bouncing around. He walked on a semi-loose leash but occasionally jumped on his handler.
  • 10/5: He displayed lots of energy, a fast-wagging tail, and a tendency to stand against his kennel door. He was easy to leash but pulled forward during walks and moved in different directions.
  • 10/4: Staff described Taquito as a โ€œbig ball of sweet energy!โ€ He greeted them with a fast-wagging tail, circling, and softly whining for interaction. He allowed staff to leash and pet him before walking excitedly to and from the potty yard. Inside his kennel, he could be seen jumping against the door when someone was nearby.
  • 10/3: Taquito was moved to a new kennel. During the move, he nearly pushed past staff to get out. He walked on a semi-tight leash, zigzagging and panting with a swaying tail.
  • 10/2: Taquito displayed neutral body language and a low-wagging tail. He walked on a semi-tight leash.
  • 10/1: Taquito greeted staff at the front of his kennel with a neutral body, soft panting, and wagging tail. He was leashed and walked out to the runs, pulling somewhat on the leash while maintaining a neutral body and soft facial expression.
  • 9/30: Taquito entered BARC as a stray following a field intake.

๐Ÿฉบ MEDICAL NOTES

  • 10/9: Taquito developed sneezing, huffing, and white nasal discharge. He was diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection (URI), moved to treatment, and prescribed doxycycline 400 mg once daily for 10 days.
  • 9/30: Taquito weighed 94.4 lbs. His intake examination described him as an intact male. His heartworm test was high-positive, indicating an infection that will require veterinary follow-up and treatment. He received routine shelter vaccinations, deworming, and parasite prevention.

๐Ÿ’– TAQUITO DESERVES A HOME, NOT A DEADLINE.

This big, fluffy boy has repeatedly shown staff his friendly, people-oriented side. His wiggly body, soft eyes, happy smile, and constantly wagging tail paint the picture of a dog who loves attention and wants to connect with people. His enthusiasm can sometimes overwhelm him, particularly when coming out of his kennel, but he has also demonstrated that he can walk more calmly.

Taquito has medical needs: he is being treated for a respiratory infection and will need veterinary care for his heartworm infection. A rescue and foster who can help him through treatment and provide a stable environment could make all the difference.

Please don't let this affectionate boy run out of time before he gets the chance to know the safety and love of a home. He needs a rescue, pledges, and a local foster to help make that possible. Please share and help Taquito get his second chance! ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿพ

We can help coordinate out-of-state adoption through approved 501(c)3 rescues. Please send the OP a Chat invite or send moderator mail to r/findfostersfordogs (it's under the see-more tab for the group) for information and a link to an application form. BARC Houston cannot facilitate out-of-state adoption or foster.

๐Ÿ’œ Volunteer Notes:
๐Ÿ“ Shelter Notes:
10/5: Blue greeted staff with tapping feet and a high-sweeping tail. He was easy to leash and walked on a loose leash to and from the runs. During kennel cleaning, he began barking forward at another dog passing by.
10/6: Blue was very vocal around people but friendly and attempted to jump up on staff. He walked well on the leash.
10/8: Blue was very wiggly when first approached, with a fast-wagging tail and soft, open mouth, his tongue hanging out as he walked outside to the runs.
10/8: During the afternoon, customers walking past his kennel caused Blue to bark forward while backing away and cowering with dilated eyes.
10/9: Blue was heavily vocal throughout the day as customers passed through the row. His kennel was covered, and he was given extra enrichment.
10/10: Blue greeted staff at the front of his kennel with a loose body, dilated pupils and open mouth. His kennel remained covered. He barked behind his kennel cover when people walked past.
10/11: Blue was quiet in his kennel and walked on a loose leash to and from the runs during cleaning.
๐Ÿฉบ Medical Notes:
10/2: Blue weighed 38 lbs at intake. His medical examination was recorded as normal.
He received routine vaccinations, deworming and flea prevention. His heartworm test was NEGATIVE.
No additional medical concerns or treatments were documented in the provided records.
๐Ÿ’– Blue is just 2 years old, and shelter life is already taking a toll on him. This adorable boy has shown staff his friendly, wiggly side with happy feet, a wagging tail and easy leash walks. But the constant activity around his kennel appears to frighten and overwhelm him. Blue needs a patient foster or adopter and a quieter environment where he can finally relax and feel safe. Please don't let this young boy's story end at BARC. ๐Ÿ’™
๐Ÿ“Œ Please contact BARC if you are local and can help! Neither BARC nor this page can assist with out-of-state adoption or foster offers. We are NOT the shelter.
