Nilo the wonder cat




THis precious little man is Nilo. With his exceptionally friendly nature, he became a victim of a dog attack. Nilo was bitten in the face and eye. A trip to the Emergency Pet Clinic was required where emergency surgery was performed. The excellent veterinarian, Dr. Susan Leonard, did everything possible to reposition his eye but it required enucleation. Nilo now only has one eye but that eye is perfect. Nilo has adjusted to his disability with ease, playing often with his favorite green mouse. Nilo is very loving and affectionate and will have no further problems with his vision in the future. His stitches will be removed this week. Nilo is ready for adoption into a very safe indoor only environment.

Nilo is five months old, neutered, fully vaccinated and tested for diseases. Donations are needed to help pay for his emergency eye surgery. Please donate at www.tejasrescues.org , or mail to TRPA, P.O. Box 790372, San Antonio, TX 78279.

If you are interested in this sweet boy, please contact 210 416-3947 for more information about Nilo.

Jake the Lab





This beauty is Jake.

I'm Jake and I am about 7 months old according to the Vet. I was rescued in San Antonio, unfortunately my foster parents land lord won't let them keep me. So I am looking for a new home with a loving family. I have had all my shots and I'm scheduled to be fixed on 10/27/09, I have been given a clean bill of health from the Vets office. In my spare time I like to lounge in the pool, or play fetch, and go on long jogs. If you would like to meet me, and possibly take me home, or know someone who may. Please contact Irma at 210-355-8854.

Sincerely,

Jake

This is Sam, the beagle/terrier mix


Sam was abandoned by his owner. He is now living with someone who was nice enough to let him stay, but she is not a dog lover. So Sam stays in the laundry room by himself all day and all night. He really would like to have a family that will play with him and give him attention.

Sam is a Beagle/Terrier mix and is about 7 months old. He has been neutered, vaccinated for rabies and parvo/distemper. He was also screened for heart worms which came back negative. Sam is now on preventatives for heart worm and flea/tick. Sam weighs 50 pounds and according to the vet's office he should not get much bigger than 55 pounds.

As far as is known, Sam is crate trained. He plays well with kids and other dogs. Sam does have some obedience training and walks well on a leash.

Sam is a good boy and wants to find him a good home.

If you know of anyone who is looking for a cute dog, or can foster this guy, please contact Perry Balleza at

Princess the cat!


Beautiful Princess is a cat who was well cared for and loved, then her human lost her job, and then was evicted, so as much of a shock as it was to her to have come to this (as it would be any of us), she had to move into a homeless shelter until she could figure something else out. She was devastated. She has no family here or friends to take her in. She called sobbing about having to give up her very well cared for cat, Princess.

If you know anyone who may be interested in this pretty, please pass along so we can get this girl in a loving home. If you have any questions, please email me at laura@substation9.com.

Thanks for looking!

Super cute Lab Mix!!



This sweet girl was found this past weekend in a community center parking lot. She was flea-infested and kinda skinny. She has been given a bath, spray and drops for the flea infestation. She is currently being kept outside with 2 circulating fans. This girl looks like a lab mix, about 1-2 years of age, very sweet but a little scared. She really likes her kennel and has had no accidents, no crying or barking. Sounds like a great addition to a family to me!! For more information, please contact SSgt Bergelin-Lomeli at671-6425.

Thanks for looking!
