Penny - Adopted

Penny A507354
• 3-yr-old • Female • Boxer/Pit mix • Pen 245 •
Arrived July 13, 2008
Save Penny, a 3-year-old boxer/pit bull mix.
Penny is a pretty, petite girl who has had the bad luck of going to homes that weren’t right for her. Her first adopter had her for all of four hours before finding out he couldn’t keep a dog and bringing her to Town Lake Animal Center. Her second family returned her when she didn’t get along with their cat. Now she must find a new home -- and soon -- because TLAC doesn't have room to keep her. Aside from cats, Penny is a well-mannered, friendly girl. She is excellent on a leash and good with other dogs. When she’s out walking on Lady Bird Lake trail, she wants to say hello to every person she passes. She’s a smart girl who is alert to people’s wishes. She is housebroken, knows “sit” and can catch a ball in mid-air. When the right home finds Penny, she will fill it with fun and love.
Penny may also be fostered if you don’t have room for another permanent dog. Email PennyATtownlakedogsDOTcom for more information.

APA Foster Care • Arrived 31-Mar-2008
I’m just a young girl, but I was fending for myself when a Good Samaritan brought me to the shelter. I hope someone will see I'm special enough to take home for keeps. I love people, and I’m always ready to play with other dogs I enjoy walks and the water. I can sit, and I’m ready to learn anything else you want to teach me. Take me home, and let’s start a life of fun and love together.

Jasmine
A306888 • 8-yr-old • Female • lab mix • Pen 31 •
Arrived 14-Apr-2008
Jasmine was looking for scraps of food in a restaurant parking lot when she was found and brought to the shelter for the 9th time. Jasmine is so sweet, affectionate and gentle, the staff decided to give her a chance in the adoption program even though she is older. But it’s hard for even a very special older girl to get adopted when there are cute puppies all around. Jasmine is heart-worm positive, and a recent X-ray found that she has hip dysplasia and arthritis (making a concrete-floored kennel at the shelter hard on her). The staff doesn’t think it’s right to keep her at the shelter much longer because it’s not very comfortable for her, so she needs a special home by 5 p.m. May 30.

Tate - ADOPTED 5/16/2008!!!
12/05/2008 22:50 Filed in: Adopted
Tate A504797 • 2–3-yr-old • Male • Labrador Retriever • Pen 241 • Arrived 28-Mar-2008
5/16/2008. Tate was adopted and his new adopter can't say enough good things about him. He is doing great with other dogs of all sizes, adults, kids, and lots of new situations.
We had been told by staff that Tate had "pressure" bitten a volunteer and staffer and needed to find a home within the week. They later realized that the bites had broken skin, so Tate underwent a 10-day rabies observation. He is now available to an approved rescue group with an experienced foster home available. While this behavior is highly undesirable, it does not mean that Tate is a "bad" dog. He is a dog that has reacted very badly to confinement at the shelter. It happens sometimes where a dog starts out like Tate nice and gentle and a month later is very hard to manage. It was particularly bad for Tate because he was ill and in an area of the shelter where the dogs don't get to leave their pens for several weeks. His frustration built to a level where he started to act very badly. With proper professional intervention, and plenty of exercise and discipline, Tate may become a wonderful pet. Professional behavior modification will likely be requirements for any interested rescue. Tate's professional evaluation went very very well and he has been behaving well, but assume he will need further training. Low cost training options will be made available. Email Tate@townlakedogs.com for more information. Tate's deadline is 5 pm Sunday, May 18th.

Arlo - ADOPTED 4/6/2008!
15/03/2008 09:53 Filed in: Adopted
http://townlakedogs.com/flyers/Arlo_urgent.pdf
Arlo was at the shelter for almost 2 months, and the stress was just too much for him. Poor Arlo got very anxious and barked when he was cooped up in a cage all day, and he started being alternately fearful or aggressive towards the vet staff. The staff believed it was not fair to keep Arlo at the shelter when he was so stressed there. So they gave Arlo a one week deadline to find a rescue group to foster him. When he was feeling secure, Arlo was a delightfully different dog. Arlo was affectionate, loved walks, did well on a leash (he was a regular on the hike and bike trail) and would happily plop down beside you for a break -- perhaps keeping one paw on you, just to make sure you were still there. He loved treats, but most of all, he adored being with his own special person. Arlo got his first miracle when a TLAC volunteer stepped forward to save him by providing Arlo a temporary foster home. The dog experts at Lee Mannix evaluated Arlo and they believed his negative behavior was the result of extreme insecurity. They believed he had a lot of potential if someone would be willing to be patient and put in the work it would take to help him learn confidence and appropriate reactions to frightening or stressful situations. So there was hope for Arlo if we could find the right person. Well another miracle happened. Arlo was going to Taurus Training and Daycare every day. He did so well there that one of the staff members fell in love with him! Arlo will now have a permanent home where he can be with his special person every day and get all the training he needs to be the wonderful dog he was meant to be.
