I have a 5 year old white Afghan Hound (Shadow). He is neutered, micro chipped and up to date on vaccinations. He still needs to be heart worm treated. We will start his treatment next week. Shadow does not get along with other male dogs or any small animals including cats. He loves to run and is very much an alpha dog.

For more information please contact Juan Vasquez at (210) 648-2270 or (210) 863-185

Marquis 9.5 M red Amy Hoffman, meowsicat@sbcglobal.net, 267-980-4338

These 3 dogs were left behind when their owner passed away in April. Rescue was contacted at the end of August and the details of their care in the interim time is sketchy. All 3 were living outside in makeshift pens and one dog had no shelter from the elements. All 3 dogs are severely malnourished, have eye and ear infections and all 3 had maggots in their fur from living in their own waste. Needless to say, all were matted to the skin and needed to be shaved down. All 3 are heartworm positive and in too poor of physical condition to undergo treatment just yet. They are being fostered until such time as treatment and spay/neuter surgery can be done. We are trying to raise money for the care of these dogs by selling their former owner’s afghan collectibles, trophies and memorabilia on ebay. You can find these items under ebay seller name Meowsicat.

The male is named Marquis – he is a black masked red and is 9.5 years old. He was penned with the black and white female, Augusta. Marquis crates easily and is a quiet easygoing boy. He was all growls and teeth when we rescued him, but the tail never stopped wagging. Marquis was cooperative on the leash and may have been shown in his earlier life. He will need a loving home where he can be an indoor couch potato with maybe another dog or a cat for company.

Augusta 9.5 F Black Brindle Amy Hoffman, meowsicat@sbcglobal.net, 267-980-4338

 

The black brindle female is Augusta. According to her foster mom, Augusta is a dignified lady with wonderful manners and disposition. She was agreeable to crating when rescued, wags her tail all of the time and just seems very appreciative of the changes in her life. Augusta is also 9.5 years old and may be a littermate to Marquis, but we are not positive. She is dog friendly, pays no mind to the cat and has a mellow personality. A relaxing home with an older person or couple will be just fine for this sweet girl.

Sabrina 8 F Red Amy Hoffman, meowsicat@sbcglobal.net, 267-980-4338

 

The black masked red female is Sabrina. Sabrina is approximately 8 years old. We found a show picture of her dated 1999 where she looks to be about 9 months old. Sabrina is more alpha than the others and was in a pen by herself. She crates easily and chooses to sleep in her crate during the day. She has proven to be housebroken and is vocal about when she has to go out. She has some tumours that we suspect may be cancerous but will not know anything until she is strong enough to be spayed. .Sabrina is very personable and is being fostered in a home with an assortment of dogs and cats, all of whom she gets along with. She is leash trained and happy to come when called and has already shown a tendency to jump up and "give hugs".
