FUZZY ACL In Big Spring Fuzzy the terrier was a terrier with a problem when we received him from Big Spring. We did ACL surgery, and he is recovering at our Adoption Center rehab unit. Sweetwater Sweet Cherry Marooned in the Sweetwa- ter shelter Cherry’s chances were slim, and she needed eye surgery. Dr. Alan Bolt fixed her up, and she is waiting for a new home at our Adoption Center. Vicious Biscuit, Gravy, & Bacon It’s not like gluten free. These guys were “vicious” at the Animal Shelter, but calmed down quickly at our place before going on to a rescue group. Owner in Jail, Dog in the Animal Shelter No one responded to the certified letter when Festus landed at the Animal Shelter. Worse, he had a very large tumor and need surgery. Fortunately, the tumor was benign when Dr. Bolt removed it, and the gang at Dusty Puddles Dachshund Rescue in Lubbock took Festus. Capone & Dillinger “Hide Out” Two big tough standard Dachshunds were turned in at the Animal Shelter because they were escape artists. At our joint, they tore through two chain link kennels before being paroled to Dusty Puddles Rescue’s Dachshund half-way house. Comanche Crash! Six month-old Maltese Mickie was minding his business in Comanche when a passing car chased him around a tree, and through three yards before hitting him. Well…..Mickie is a little dramatic, and there were no eye witnesses. The X Rays did show an actual pelvic fracture, and Mickie came to us for medical care. Even better, he was able to do most of his rehab in his new home.

FUZZY ACL In Big Spring
Fuzzy the terrier was a terrier with a problem when we received him from Big Spring. We did ACL surgery, and he is recovering at our Adoption Center rehab unit.
Sweetwater Sweet Cherry
Marooned in the Sweetwa-ter shelter Cherry’s chances were slim, and she needed eye surgery. Dr. Alan Bolt fixed her up, and she is waiting for a new home at our Adoption Center.
Vicious Biscuit, Gravy, & Bacon
It’s not like gluten free. These guys were “vicious” at the Animal Shelter, but calmed down quickly at our place before going on to a rescue group.

Shelter No one responded to the certified letter when Festus landed at the Animal Shelter. Worse, he
had a very large tumor and need surgery. Fortunately, the tumor was benign when Dr. Bolt removed it, and the gang at Dusty Puddles Dachshund Rescue in Lubbock took Festus.
Capone & Dillinger “Hide Out” Two big tough standard Dachshunds were turned in at the Animal Shelter because they were escape artists. At our joint, they tore through two chain link kennels before being paroled to Dusty Puddles Rescue’s Dachshund half-way house.
Comanche Crash!
Six month-old Maltese Mickie was minding his business in Comanche when a passing car chased him around a tree, and through three yards before hitting him.

Pennsylvania Dachshund?A lady in Pennsylvania emailed asking us to send her a Dachshund, from the Irving, Texas, Animal Shelter. Sure, it’s just down the block. Our Lora Jones arranged for Pat Coniff and Betty Wensel Brooks to bring Charlie to Abilene, where we did all his vet work. Dusty Puddles took him to Lubbock, and after a long journey with lots of folks, Charlie arrived in Pennsylvania!
