Hi, This is “Porkchop” I was able to rescue him from a worksight in 2020. He was roaming wild, wouldn’t come within 20 yards of anyone. Food and fresh water were left out, but he would not approach if anyone was in sight. I was bringing meat chopped into bitesize squares to toss in his direction to gain trust, and entice him closer to attempt petting him. It took about 45 days to get him in petting distance. Once I pet him, the second time he leaned into it and we’ve been mates ever since. The meat was porkchops, when I arrived on sight, I’d rattle the container and shout more porkchop, and he would appear, so once he chose to go home with me, I just named him “Porkchop” as he sorta thought that was his name anyway. Picture shows 1st petting and the other how happy and handsome he is…and yes bit spoiled!

Both of my Shiba Inus were rescued from Texas shelters. Kitsu on the left and Yoshi on the right. Sadly, we just lost Yoshi at age 12. Really love this Japanese breed and plan to rescue another primitive breed dog after our Kitsu passes on (she is 14). The other pic is a pic from the day we adopted our other boy Kuma from a shelter (he has also passed). Kitsu is on the left and Kuma is on the right.  Gina Curbo

Our sweet rescue dog Wally enjoyed his first beach experience in Panama City Beach, Florida last week! Although he’s a born and bread Texas boy, that Florida humidity got to him! Wally was rescued from San Antonio pets alive this April, where they successfully treated his heart worms. We love exploring Dallas with him and hope yall see him around!

Our rescue dog, Duke, LOVES to swim & play in the water going after his favorite water toy.
He is a 7 year old Blue Heeler that we rescued when he was about a year old. He did not like the water at first, but soon began loving to jump in after his favorite toy. After running in the yard & getting hot, he also thinks this is his own cooling off pool & will go lay on the tanning ledge to cool off.
