🏡 AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION, FOSTER, OR RESCUE

🚗 OUT OF STATE OR CANADIAN ADOPTION IS POSSIBLE - cost is typically around $600 USD (give or take). The fee includes transport, boarding, full medical, 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 501c3 rescues. Please message the OP for information and a link to an application form. BARC Houston cannot facilitate out-of-state adoption or foster.

🔹 Intake:

Stray - Field

📝 Shelter Notes:

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.

7/2/2026: During a move adoption, Olive was evasive in the run and had to be cornered so a leash could be placed on her. She moved extremely slowly with a low crawl and was too large to carry, so staff waited for her to walk at her own pace. When she completely froze at the doorway, she had to be lifted over the threshold.

🚑 Medical Notes:

6/29/2026: Intake condition noted as minor condition. Vaccinated (DA2PP-V, Bordetella, Rabies), dewormed, and given flea prevention.

6/30/2026: Weighed 70.0 lbs. HW High Positive.

My best friend on the planet, my bubbies, the dude that got me through dialysis, when times were hard, is at his end. I’m broken right now. And he has 8 days left before we send him across the seas.

They're both exhausted now, think this will need to be a regular thing

**UPDATE: DEADLINE IS FIRM. NO EXTENSIONS.**

These three beautiful dogs at Orange County Animal Services (OCAS) are out of time. They are experiencing severe shelter decline and stress. **Nalah has an official deadline of Tuesday, June 30th at 5:00 PM.** Trout and Fizz are on the Last Chance List and need immediate placement before next Wednesday morning.

Rescue partners: OCAS is offering a **$100 incentive per dog** to help offset the cost of care!

* * *

💔 **NALAH (A587478) — THE LEFT-BEHIND MOM/SISTER**

* **Stats:** 6 years old | 90 lbs | Heartworm positive (+) but **HAS SPONSORSHIP!**

* **Story:** Surrendered back in January because her owners couldn't keep her. She came in with two male dogs (either her sons or brothers). Both boys were adopted. **Nalah was left behind.**

* **The Situation:** She has been in the shelter for 5 months. She is losing weight from extreme stress. Shelter notes state she is showing behavioral decline with increased reactivity toward men.

* **The Good:** Outside of her stress, she is highly affectionate, social, and allows full handling. She needs a patient, loving home to decompress and learn to trust again.

🐾 **TROUT (A595509) — THE SCARED STRAY**

* **Stats:** 2 years old | 42 lbs | Heartworm negative (-)

* **Story:** Came in as a stray on May 6th.

* **The Situation:** The shelter is a terrifying place for Trout, and he is declining. Notes show an increase in resource guarding (particularly food) due to the stressful environment. He cannot safely stay in the shelter long-term.

* **The Good:** He is easily leashed! He actually loves the company of other dogs and has been paired successfully with several dogs at the shelter. He needs a patient family and a canine sibling to show him the way.

⚡ **FIZZ (A596537) — THE HIGH-ENERGY BOY**

* **Stats:** 1.7 years old | 59 lbs | Heartworm negative (-)

* **Story:** Came in as a stray on May 18th.

* **The Situation:** Highly anxious in his kennel. He has been involved in altercations with other dogs at the shelter, likely due to resource guarding brought on by stress.

* **The Good:** Handsome, athletic, and full of life! He would thrive with an active family. He *can* live with canine siblings, but he requires slow, appropriate, and structured introductions. He just needs someone with kindness and patience to guide him.

* * *

⚠️ **HOW YOU CAN SAVE THEM:**

* **ADOPT OR FOSTER:** All three dogs are available for direct public adoption or fostering. If you are in Florida (or can travel to Orlando), please visit the shelter immediately or comment below.

* **RESCUES:** If you are a registered rescue contact, you must submit official placement requests to **Rescue.Coordinator@ocfl.net** before the final deadline.

**Location:** Orange County Animal Services, 2769 Conroy Rd, Orlando, FL 32839

*Please share, cross-post, and tag Florida rescues. Every share counts to save their lives!*

Does anyone else have to spoon feed their American bully? My boy is almost 2 and he will not eat by himself he has to be spoon fed and only I can do it lol. He just stares at my husband like he is stupid !!!

Here's an early collection of our times enjoying the outdoors together. I have many photos to finish sorting.

Irema Curto bloodline. Maat de Irema Curto x Revenge de Masterpresa

This is my presa stud torco de rucaden, and his daughter uzzah...in true hillbilly fashion these two have had pups....made 10 ..6 saw 8 weeks...5 fierce as fuck including runt...the other injured...4 huge.....2 medium large...

I'll post pics of some pups later....

Uzzah mom was a bandog 50+ apbt, she also features heeler,Neapolitan mastiff and great Dane

​

Pups are

75% PC

12*5 %pit.

6*25% heeler.

3*125% neo.

3*125% Dane

​

Would you consider them presas or bandogs ...I'll put my answer in comments latter?

​

Would you imagine them being better worse or the same working dog as a PC ?

​

Would you have done this breeding on purpose?

​

​

​

It was an accident but a breeding I intended to do just not now.

​

I had made these posters for dog groups on fb ...don't contact me about stud from this platform....all pups already have homes I'm just looking for opinions

I have a presa canario cross pitbull and after paying £2500 vet fees for operation to remove most of his tail after an accidental breakage,I'm looking for lifetime cover pet insurance. I've tried a few but they wouldn't insure either because he was a presa or because of the pitbull in his dna. Who do you guys insure with in the UK.
