BISCUIT is a nice looking male Bassett Hound who is white/tan. His owner could not keep him any longer when they moved. He is an adult, friendly, happy dog that needs a home. He is 4 years old and weighs 60 lbs. and is neutered and vaccinated. For information or to meet him or other Hounds, please contact his foster mom Joan: ladue1223@toast.net, 956-636-1409

SUZY is a 2-year-old female Beagle. She was surrendered by her owner who has too many dogs. She is very friendly and gets along great with other dogs and loves to eat.

FRECKLES is a 3-year-old male blonde/white Cocker Spaniel. He is very mellow, leash trained, friendly, and fine with other dogs and people. He would make a real nice family dog or companion dog.

HUNTER is a sweet Cachshund mix pup who is approximately 5 months old. He is black/tan and well behaved and loves attention. His owner could not keep him any longer. He is good with kids, etc., and would make a great family pet.

MIDAS is a very sweet, lovable little guy, around 12 lbs. We are not sure of the breed, but he has long off-white hair, maybe some Poodle/Lhasa Apso?  He is sweet, friendly, good with other dogs and people. He is not a barker either. He would make a great family pet or companion dog. He was picked up by animal control and not reclaimed. One of the favorites, he is neutered, vaccinated and ready for a home.

TOTO is a cute, little light brown, scruffy Terrier that looks like a Norfolk Terrier. He weighs 10 lbs., is neutered, and approximately 2 years old. He just arrived from a local shelter. He is very friendly and gets along with other dogs fine and is good with kids.

CHOCO is a 1-year-old, neutered chocolate Lab that showed up in Bayview on Oct. 4. He was in very good condition except he would not put weight on his front paw. He was treated and is n excellent health now. He is very healthy and very playful. He has a beautiful wavy coat, weighs 70 lbs., and was not tested for heartworm.

KHEI is a spayed female Heeler/Chow mix, which makes loyal and intelligent dogs. She weighs 40 lbs. and is 2 years old. She is a victim of the recession, possibly house broken, and happy to extend her paw when asked to "shake." She is a good alarm barker and is sure to keep the homeowner alerted to the presence of any danger. After being at the shelter for awhile, she has lost some of her social graces so her new owner should be willing to work with her to improve her manners. She enjoys walks and is much better behaved when regularly exercised. She has no known health issues, is micro-chipped, spayed, h/w negative and ready to begin a new life.
