Who let the dogs out…who who who who?!  And who let them out ALL day and ALL night? We have seen it many times – dogs are left outside due to one reason or another. Busy schedules, dog likes to snack on a couch (or two!), dog might have house-training issues, dog prefers to be outside, or their human just doesn’t feel a dog should be an indoor family member. As an organization, we believe our four legged friends truly enjoy spending time inside with their beloved humans. Unfortunately, not all people believe dogs should be indoors, nor do laws and city ordinances object toRead More →

There are only a few times in my life when I didn’t own a dog – when I was in college and when I was in the military. During those times I was blessed to come home to my childhood dog, Rusty. I was around 9 years old when my mother adopted Rusty from our local animal shelter. He was laid back, friendly and always seemed happy to be a part of our family. As a latch-key kid, it was Rusty who greeted me every day after school. When my parents divorced, only Rusty knew what I was truly feeling. When I was 16, myRead More →

I’m sure most of us have seen the movie “Homeward Bound” where 2 dogs and a cat travelled many miles to find their way home back to their family.  It was a story of courage, strength and unconditional love. I hadn’t given much thought of this childhood movie until a similar story happened at the Pflugerville Animal Shelter. Meet Daisy.  Just another dog right?      “It’s me or the dog!” We have heard this saying time and time again when fido steals the Thanksgiving turkey or knocks down Grandma. Typically, the phrase is thrown out in anger and later recanted, but unfortunately there are situations whereRead More →

Barneigh is in desperate need of donations for hip surgeries, as well as a foster or forever home to recover from those surgeries. Barneigh (6 years old) has severe hip dysplasia and is constant pain. She needs two separate surgeries: 1 for each hip. If she does not have these surgeries, the vet is recommending euthanasia in order to ease her pain. The Pflugerville Animal Shelter is beyond capacity and needs help. Barneigh’s procedures can not be scheduled until she has a foster home lined up. Both Barneigh and Champ have been neglected, and for the first time in their lives, they have a chanceRead More →

I remember being young and counting down the days where I could make my own rules. I couldn’t wait to be sixteen so I could have freedom. I wanted to be eighteen so people would take me seriously. I wanted to be twenty-one so I could…well, you know what I mean. Time passed and at sixteen I had to work to get a car, pay for insurance, and there went the dream of 100% freedom. At eighteen, the adults didn’t take me seriously and I was still a kid in their eyes. No one took me seriously, until I was about thirty. Then at thirty,Read More →

Let’s be honest – I’m not your average gamer. I have only played Call of Duty once with my nephew and for some odd reason, I haven’t been invited back. *Ponders…* “Maybe it’s due to the fact that I managed to kill all of us???” I just couldn’t quite grasp the hitting of X, B, A plus shooting at the same time. And let’s not leave out the part where my little solider guy kept jumping up and down when all I ever wanted him to do was duck and cover. When I heard my nephew conquered the game in two days, I was in awe.Read More →
