Story
#519 - Freeway | AVAILABLE Freeway is a neutered male and is around 8 years old at approximately 45lbs. He is a Border Collie mix with an amazing, sweet and loveable personality… one of a “Gentle Old Soul”. Those were the words out Foster Dads' mouth when Freeway first arrived at the house. While Freeway's past is not to be forgotten, it is just that… the past. He is an extremely smart dog and he has quickly picked up on the Foster Family’s daily routine. He loves to ride around in the truck and loves to be around people and will hang out with you following you up and downstairs, around the yard as you do chores and lay at your feet while you read a book… naps are a huge plus for Freeway. Freeway is not only smart, but he is also incredibly funny as he loves to roll and wiggle around on the ground and will play box with your hands... this dog loves and respects people so he is gentle when he plays. Freeway is an inside dog but loves to go out and play frisbee with BCRRT Alumni Lilo. Well, he watches and sometimes chases her. He’s not toy motivated (probably because Lilo is a toy hog) but loves his belly scratches, ear scratches and will come up for a hug. He has amazing recall and will come running even while he’s in the middle of exploring the pasture from afar. He goes to massage therapy sessions with his Foster Mum and gets along well with the therapists' smaller pups. He also occasionally gets in a 30-minute session when FM isn’t looking. Foster Dad has nicknamed him Skippy since he happily runs around the yard skipping along the way (that back hip is still a little wonky). He would probably not be good with cats as he’s gone full throttle chasing the neighbors' cats as they run to find a place to hide from him. He is great with younger kids, however, they just need to be respectful of his past injuries so older ones would probably be better family members. Freeway is also not a fan of bigger or active dogs and can be a little grumpy and will snarl at them as he worries that they are going to run or bump into him. That is his way of showing them he needs more space than they are giving him... but he hangs out great with his 25lb foster brother all day long. He has thunder issues (which is probably what got him in trouble to begin with) but giving him some calming treats just before the storm really seems to help as well as an open crate to go hide out in until the storms have passed. He is super gentle around people and asks nicely to stop being massaged or brushed around his back end when he starts to hurt. He will either lick your hand or grab your sleeve with his mouth to get you to stop when he’s had enough. While Freeway needs daily exercise, it is at his own pace… and usually sleeps throughout the day moving from bed to bed trying to stay comfortable. Freeway is lucky to be alive and it did take a village to get him this far. He will always have pelvis and hip soreness and arthritis but this dog’s desire to live amazed everyone. He motivated the entire BCCRT team as well as the nurses and doctors that took such great care of him. Although he was in so much pain he was gentle and seemed to know everyone there were trying to help him. He braved through his rehab. He is a survivor and needs someone to give him a loving and comfy home for the rest of his life.

Story
Hi? Hello? Excuse me?! Oh...that’s right, I can’t hear you. My name is Kermit and I’m a very special type of puppy! I’m what you call a Double Merle. And I am the result of some terrible backyard breeding that allowed 2 merle dogs (in my case, most likely a BC and Catahoula) to breed which can run the risk of every puppy having a 25% chance of being like me! The reason we don’t want double Merle puppies in the world, though we are cute, is because we can come out with a few different “defects” like being blind or deaf. Though not guaranteed to happen, its more than likely. In my case I came out deaf and 80-90% blind! But that doesn’t stop me! I’m smart as a whip my foster mama says! I am learning to potty train, crate train and I love my fur siblings. I’ve learnt to navigate my foster home well (as long as they don’t move a chair or put shoes in my way!) I’m roughly 13 weeks old, up to date on my puppy vaccinations and just in need of a home who can understand the extra hands on training I’ll need! Someone who’s home might suit me well but I can also be alone for a few hours at a time (but no apartments please, I don’t realize how loud my cry is!)

#736 - Stella | ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS Stella is probably a border collie/corgi mix and is around six years old. She is a very sweet, low energy girl who just wants to cuddle and be close to you on the couch or in the room. She likes other dogs and will often demonstrate appeasing behaviors such as licking their faces to show she wants to be friends. So far, she hasn’t shown much interest in playing with other dogs, but she does like to be around them. She would be fine as an only dog as well. She is a little overly interested in kitty friends, so she would do best in a home without cats. She really just wants to hang out and be your friend. Stella does have a moderate to severe case of separation anxiety. You may remember Stella from our recent lost dog fliers. When she first moved to her foster home and her foster parents went to work, she was scared and broke out. She would do best in a home where she was not alone for long periods of time, but when she is, she does well in a sturdy crate such as an airline crate. When you do get home, she is very excited and loves to cry and lick you. Stella is a little afraid of her surroundings still. She has been too nervous to venture out the front door on a walk or in the car, but she does love greeting people at the door. She is a very quiet dog and does not bark or run around much. She is extremely well potty trained. She really is just about the perfect companion for someone who just wants a dog to love on and love them. She does currently sleep in the bed with her teenage (human) foster sister, and she loves to just be close to you, usually sleeping at your feet, next to you, or at the very least across the room where she can clearly see you. Do you think you might be the right home for Stella? If so, please contact or send in an application today.

Mhmm, did someone mention food?! Though you can't eat us, we are cute enough you might just wish you could. We are the food litter, one of BCRR's first 2020 saves after being found living under a trailer in San Angelo, TX. Our foster mom said we are around 9 weeks old now, we have had our first round of vaccinations and we are soon to be ready for our own homes! We are all about 90% potty trained, we haven't made a mess inside our fun little dog run in over a week now! We make sure to pop outside, do our business and then find a sibling to run and play with! We are very eager to always meet new people, we like to eat their shoelaces as they enter our home! We are smart, loving and a little on the sassy side, but what good BC dog isn't?! Taco is a beautiful boy who is currently near 12lbs. Want to adopt? Fill out an application on our website.

Story
Meet Trumpet! Trumpet is a male Australian Shepherd mix who is one years old and 33 lbs. Trumpet is very intelligent with high energy. He would do well with a family who can exercise him daily and would be a great companion for outdoor activities. He is house/bell and crate trained, and knows basic commands: sit, down, leave it, come, and stay.  Trumpet is not a suitable match for someone in an apartment or with children under the age of 14 due to his natural herding tendencies. He is wonderful with other large dogs, but tends to chase cats.  If you are interested in meeting Trumpet to see if he belongs at your place, please complete an application on our website and his foster mom will be in touch. He is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and heartworm negative.  https://legacyhumanesociety.org/adoptfoster/adoption-application/               We do not have a facility to house the dogs in our program. They are all kept in foster homes until they are adopted. Therefore, if you are interested in adopting from LHS, please complete an online application at http://legacyhumanesociety.org/adoptfoster/adoption-application/ and we will contact you asap about the status of your application.

Story
Sport is mostly a Red Heeler who is very handsome and loving and outgoing with his foster parents. He is timid with new people and needs to be able to make up with someone on his time. Sport was not socialized with other animals or people when he came to us and it took his foster parents about a month, but then they were getting kisses and doggie hugs. He has a good heart and wants to be a great dog, but he's still insecure and will need someone willing to help him gain and keep his confidence. Sport is crate and house trained, lives with lots of other dogs and has learned how to get along with most of them and made some good doggie friends. We don't feel Sport would be good with children because he is insecure and needs his space to make friends, but we have not seen him with children. Sport's estimated DOB is August, 2010. He is fully vetted: microchipped, current on vaccines, neutered and on flea/tick and heart worm prevention. If you are interested in meeting or adopting Sport, please fill out our online application at Hillcrestanimalrescue.org.

Story
Hello Humans! I’m Ajax! I am young, energetic, healthy, and would make a great companion for you if you’re athletic and enjoy running, hiking, being outdoors. I am crate and house trained so when we’re not together I’m a really good boy. I get along well with other dogs but I prefer the ones that are more my size since I can get a little pushy during playtime. I have good attention and am food motivated so when you train me I am confident I’ll do very well! I’m OK with cats but if they run from me, I’ll chase them. I am an Australian Shepherd / Catahoula Leopard Dog mix, about 45 pounds and was born approximately 2/1/16. I really want to find that special person to love and be loved by. Would you consider giving me my furever home? I promise lots of love in return!Ajax is up to date on all vaccines, microchipped, neutered and on heart worm and flea/tick preventatives. The first step in our adoption process for this energetic pup is to submit your application which is available online at hillcrestanimalrescue.org.
